I can't help but notice that pretty much every positive tweet about TLBO gets posted on here while we didn't the see the same happening for Michael's other films. I have nothing against people being excited for certain films over others but the reason is so transparent. Plus the claims of Michael being the happiest in years and fantasizing about he and Alicia cuddling is just so ridiculous and uncomfortable.

Maybe for some people? Like I couldn't care less about X-Men, Assassin's Creed, and TAU these days because I think either the material is terrible (X-Men), the director is incompetent (AC), or there's evidence that the distributor has total contempt for the film (TAU).

Meanwhile, I still do have interest in TLBO, the Malick, and The Snowman (my most anticipated). AV doesn't have much to do with my interest in TLBO beyond my belief that she's right for the part. I think it's completely fair that some people aren't attracted to the Cianfrance film's storyline, but personally, I like a romantic melodrama. It's an underserved genre. I'm not even expecting ecstatic reviews (decent--at best), but the genre is enough of a pull for me.

We all have different tastes. I know some people who think Macbeth was excellent (I don't) and others who think A Dangerous Method is a dull misfire (I don't--it's easily a top 5 MF film for me). I don't think we should be presuming the reasons for other people's interests.

I know you couldn't care less (lol) but I really do appreciate the fact you liked ADM cause I love that movie and it's not easy to find people who loved it. I found it enchanting.
IA about what you said and the movies I'm most interested about are TLBO, Weightless and the Snowman too. But yeah, again, it's a matter of tastes/interests.

I loved Macbeth but I admit I preferred Steve Jobs, another movie people didn't love as much as I did. I LOVED his performance. I didn't expect it to be so super, but it was more than super IMO. Btw I love Boyle, so..
Did you like it? Just curiosity.

I've started on Henning Menkell bc I was so sad Nesbo was over--at least I won't have to wait for the cinematic adaptations of those once I'm done reading them! The next one after The Snowman, The Leopard, is my favorite and although it doesn't seem too likely I would love it if they did that one too. That creepy Leopold's apple would be very striking and the end is even more gut-wrenching than the end of The Snowman. Nesbo fails pretty hard on race and gender in a few of the Harry Hole novels but there's a ton more material aside from The Snowman.

I'm going to check on Henning Menkell--I haven't read those, thanks! The Leopard is amazing, and yes, in part because of the apple, and the obvious but unthinkable way he solves it. I also love the fact that the narrative goes to Africa.
