Very cool to have Oppenheimer and Killers of the Flower Moon in the same year, because each film is about a man who chooses willful ignorance to abdicate responsibility for his actions -- and the two films understand and portray the men so differently

It's really interesting to me that it's all men who very are actively hating on The Marvels. 🤷‍♀️ The movie isn't perfect (read my review for my thoughts) but it doesn't deserve the hate many (men) are giving it.

One of the little details I like in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is that the music in The 14 Fists of McCluskey is Bernard Herrmann‘s composition, originally for Torn Curtain. Hitchcock hated it, and that was the end of their friendship (and the music wasn’t used in the movie).
