Last Night and Every Night Until


When Anya Taylor-Joy hosted the season finale of SNL this past weekend -- and she was funny right? I thought she did a terrific job; she is just a natural star -- they previewed a preview, by giving us a couple flashes from the trailer for Edgar Wright's forthcoming giallo-ish flick Last Night in Soho (aka probably my most anticipated movie of the next year, give or take a Dune) and telling us, "Hey wait don't shoot yer load yet, the entire trailer isn't dropping until Tuesday." Well get yer loads prepped y'all, it's Tuesday and the trailer's here, and is it ever load-worthy...

We've been waiting for Wright to make a giallo ever since he goofed the genre with his short film Don't! in the middle of the Tarantino/Rodriguez sandwich that was 2007's Grindhouse double-feature -- I can say now, with all these many years behind us, that I'm thankful he didn't turn that (admittedly very funny) one-trick-pony into a feature and waited for a full-bodied film story to present itself, because this looks absolutely stunning. 

This is out on October 22nd, finally giving us a Halloween movie worthy of the holiday -- I have a sudden Suspiria (both versions) sense surrounding me -- there's nothing I want more than this. I can't even write coherently about it. I'm giddy. Giddy! Giddy with gimme! Gimme right now! How are y'all feeling?

Edgar Wright films are always sort of enjoyable technical marvels but they're such a straight boy thing. Despite terrific actresses I don't think he's had a fully developed female character since Spaced. So I wasn't that jazzed for this.

But that trailer though. I'm so in, I might actually risk going out if I've had my shots by then. Even the slow ominous version of bouncy song feels perfect instead of painfully cliche.

Ansel Elgort ruined Baby Driver for me. Deeply irritating and off-putting.

I still haven't watched Suspiria-should I?

Loved Death Proof and Planet Terror. Both really vibrant showcases. Am looking forward to this one!
