I Accept Your Challengers


It only took us approximately three hundred billion days to get here but Luca Guadagnino's techno tennis trio flick Challengers is right now, right this minute, in movie theaters! Meaning whatever the hell you're doing right now isn't what you should be doing, which is sitting in a theater watching Challengers. Does this mean I liked the movie? Hmm I wonder, I guess you'll have to click on over to Pajiba to read my review of it and find out for yourself. I am sure it's an absolute mystery to you, whether I liked it or not. It's not as if I have been posting about it endlessly, breathlessly, for months. I am such a riddle! Anyway go read that, go watch Challengers, and go have a hot sweaty weekend full of balls flying at your faces. Bye til Monday!

I think they used that de-aging program for Josh O'Connor for the flash backs scenes

Have you heard anything about this?

Daniel Craig and Drew Starkey will star in Luca Guadagnino’s (‘Call Me By Your Name’ director) film adaptation of ‘QUEER’ (based on the 1985 novel of the same name, by William S. Burroughs). Queer is an upcoming historical romantic drama film. Set in 1940s Mexico City, the film follows an outcast American expat (Daniel Craig) who becomes infatuated with a younger man (Drew Starkey). Variety reported that the film is expected to hit the festival circuit in late 2024.

Kinetic--that is a word I never use to describe movies. Joshie is my phone's wallpaper for a reason. Have there ever been two vastly different, but equally perfect chests so prominently on display in a film? Luca is a legend.

Loved Zendaya, loved the boys, loved the whole scenario but that techno music was HIDEOUS!! Why?? And why does it start blasting away DURING the big emotional dialogues?? Dishonorable mention to that children's choir bullshit too!
