Sorry Baby

Watched this with a buncha people at Angelika on Houston St. It was pretty funny and cozy despite the kinda dark subject matter. Y’know I’m appreciating how movie are broken up into different arcs or acts and more recently I’ve noticed how explicit they are about showing it. Title cards, timestamps, etc. It situates me very well in the plot, I like it.

I didn’t get to talk very much about it after the movie ended, but I did get to catch up with Claire over dinner at a Dig Inn that was nearby, which was really nice.

The Wind That Shakes the Barley

I requested this DVD primarily because I had the hots for Dr. Crane played by Cillian Murphy in the Batman Trilogy. Literally, why was he so hot and sexy there it was making me go crazy. Anyway, I was like, let me start from the beginning for his work. Now suddenly, I’m reading up on the Easter Rebellion and the split of the IRA.

The story of the movie follows Damien (Cillian Murphy) as he joins the IRA after witnessing multiple atrocities committed by the British Army. He fights alongside the members of the local flying column until there is a ceasefire between Britain and the IRA. They learn that the treaty signed does not free Ireland entirely which causes a split within the IRA that leads to the Irish Civil War.

Materialists

What I understood most is that Celine Song loves MMF and believes that a theatre guy would go to Birdy’s and not get a photostrip.
