I feel like horror Twitter actually did a good job of not ruining Barbarian for everyone who wasn't able to see it and that's pretty cool. Let's keep doing that.

There is a documentary hitting Sundance called The Most Beautiful Boy in the World about Björn Andrésen, who was cast in Death in Venice because he was so beautiful. Well TIL that that boy grew up to be Dan in Midsommar.

People seem mixed on the 2014 Godzilla but what I think it does better than any of the other Monsterverse entries is focus on how massive Godzilla is by framing everything from a human perspective. It makes Godzilla awe-inspiring because the camera is at human level.
