It's time for the second review drop of today, and once again it's me bucking up against the system, dropping truth bombs outside the mainstream, baby! Click on over to Pajiba to read my thoughts on Ari Aster's latest, the COVID-era Neo-western Eddington starring Pedro Pscal and Joaquin Phoenix, which got a cold pretty shoulder in Cannes but which I loved. I will admit it took me two viewings to find my way to that love -- it was a rough sit on my first go-round and I thought I might have hated it at first. But I couldn't stop thinking about it and that second view spun me right around. It's dry dark comedy at its absolute cruelest, with a shit-heap's worth to say about the madness of right now. Anyway we love a good challenge and hoo boy is Eddington one of those. Go see it this weekend!

Pedro's Fatigue is So Real !!!
As is a short attention span.
People get tired of him because honestly he's a bad actor who has no range, he's the "Male" version of Gal Gadot.
Aster's not gonna get my money again. Seems like he was a one trick pony with Hereditary.
Homophobia lives!
why is the word male in quotes?
They are trying the damndest to make Pascal happen aren't they,some people are TV stars some people film stars and I know which bracket he falls into.
and some people are both
Now I really want to know what the critic laughed at :D
OMG this man again, I'll pass.

Perhaps they laughed at Pascal's lack of acting talent.
