it's been too long since I enjoyed talking about a movie this much.
This is the big thing for me, too. When I walked out of the theater I honestly didn't know what the fuck to think, but I was pretty sure I wasn't overly hot on the film.
The more I wanted to talk about its shortcomings, though, the more I found myself highlighting what worked really well. And in talking with folks pretty much every day since I saw it I've found I really, REALLY like what this movie did well and it's shortcomings might not be as damning as I felt like they were. Very much looking forward to my second watch now.
That's why I like talking about this stuff, honestly! I don't want to come across as too negative about it all.
