No Disappointment Here

I apologize in advance because I can already tell I'm having one of those days where my brain is all over the map -- I think most people call these "manic episodes" but I ain't most people! Anyway have any of you ever been to Cape Disappointment in Washington state? My boyfriend and I were traversing that area on a trip around the Northwest a decade or so ago and ended up there and were delighted by the name, and (to finally get to my point) I thought about that place whenever I read the title of Ari Aster's next movie was Disappointment Blvd., and that made me happy. Fond memories! But Disappointment Blvd. was not to be -- talk about asking the critics to start licking their poison pens to pun themselves unto unconsciousness -- and so they changed the title to Beau Is Afraid, and today we have the first poster seen above. A24 says they'll drop the trailer on Tuesday. We know very little about what the movie's about -- or at least I do because I purposefully stopped paying attention since I don't need to be sold on an Ari Aster movie at this point. I'm there. I probably won't even watch the trailer. What we do know for sure is that Beau stars an astonishing cast, including Joaquin Phoenix -- several of him, judging by that poster! -- and Parkey Posey and Amy Ryan and Richard Kind and Nathan Lane and Patti Lupone and Denis Ménochet, among others. It's a weird cast and it looks like a weird movie and obviously we cannot f'ing wait. And the poster says April! So we don't have to wait too long! In summation...

Anyone else immediately think of this looking at the #BeauIsAfraid poster or am only I Charlie Kaufman Nerd enough to go right there pic.twitter.com/fizn5WVJ6K
