Yer Fonda My Lobster

.
In ten days you'll be able to rent Robert Eggers' The Lighthouse on Amazon, if you didn't get the opportunity to watch it in a theater... a thought that makes me very sad. I got to see it four times in theaters, the last of which was on the biggest movie screen in the United States at the IMAX at Lincoln Square here in New York. That was fucking something! On that note I can't recall if I shared this here on the site previously...

Anyway the film is also hitting blu-ray on January 7th, although for some reason Amazon hasn't posted that yet -- I'll surely do a post when they do. Surely, seeing as how The Lighthouse (spoiler alert) remains my favorite movie of 2019. (Here's my review if you missed it.) If you wonder why I'm feeling even more cynical than usual this Awards Season look no further than nobody much finding any room at all for this perfect wackadoodle film -- in 20 years we'll look back on this mostly unbroken streak of ignoring this movie with the deepest of shames.

But bless A24 for trying -- there's a brand new featurette that they have just released (via). It's probably more about the movie hitting streaming next week than it is them thinking it will get much more awards traction this year, but let's stay positive. it did get a bunch of Indie Spirit nominations at least. They're always so much more interesting than Oscar.... and don't get me started on the Globes. Don't even get me started!

Who? When?
