haven’t seen most of them and am not looking forward to them. watched part of King Richard, about 45 minutes, which was all I needed to see of that movie (two and a half hours long!), and sat through the film about Jonathan Larson with Andrew Garfield playing him in a disconcertingly aggressive way

i suppose i will be seeing west side story with my gal in the theaters on christmas. We did little women when it came out and it made her very happy; methinks this will be much the same vibe of my just drinking my soda and radiating neutrality.

I'm considering seeing WSS for my first movie in theaters since Little Women on New Year's Day 2020. My wife loved LW, but has no interest in WSS, so I expect I'll be going alone.

From some site telling me where I can see it: "If you’re looking for an introspective, character-driven road drama, director Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s latest film, Drive My Car, checks all of the boxes." Geez, I did a whole poll of such films. So I really want to see it--but can't, yet, as far as I can tell.
