"Yet, we’re at least starting to get some news on it now, and ironically it’s thanks to a totally different show in American Horror Story: NYC. In a new interview this week (watch below), cast member Denis O’Hare notes at the end of the discussion that the rest of The Nevers will be coming out this December."
(Confirming what Laura Donnelly said a couple of weeks ago: December it is, it seems).

Film after film: Private Life (dir. Tamara Jenkins, 2018)
Another great, intimate, inquisitive film by Tamara Jenkins, who makes films so rarely that it is especially unnerving when they don't get due coverage and visibility. Private Life came out when Netflix was increasingly interested in prestige cinema films, yet kept betting on just few selected ones (Roma, in that case). It's my favorite performance by Hahn, casually impressive at wherever she appears, who is a bundle of nerves, layering thickly the prickly sweetness that, we can deduce, is otherwise her mode. Giamatti and everyone else deliver great performances, yet it's Hahn, who gets the camera's well-chosen attention.

Wow! What about Shigaraki, Marc and Steven, and Dipper?
Shigaraki: "I like Cabin in the Woods. Lots of Easter eggs to video game monsters and classics too. Good balance of comedy and horror."
Marc: "Evil Dead, either the original or the remake. I like both of them. Both are pretty fucked up and were pretty damn scary. Also Bruce Campbell is great. That tree scene was pretty messed up though."
Steven: "I love Pyramid! It has one of my favorite actors in it, Dennis O'Hare, and I think it really hits home how scary many of the Egyptian gods were supposed to be. I had nightmares about Anubis for weeks."
Dipper: "The Wolf of Snow Hollow! I don't want to give the ending away, but it was funny, gorey, and really made me remember why werewolves would actually be scary after kind of losing my healthy fear of them."

Now Russell Eddington was a whole different ball of wax. All he wanted to do was walk in the sun after 3,000 years and Eric and Bill set me up as bait. If I could hate them I would. But I can't imagine a world without them in it.

The Goldfinch
The Goldfinch marks the first movie of 2019 where I have seen all the trailers and I still have little to no idea what is going to happen in this movie in terms of plot. Normally I rant and rave against contemporary trailer makers for giving away all the details in a film - even important plot twists (I haven’t forgiven you, Pet Sematary, and I never will). But in this case, I haven’t read the book, and the trailers reveal next to nothing about what’s going on, so all I could really hope for was a star-studded, weird, arty time. Is that what I got? Well...
Basically, yeah. Although I wouldn’t really classify the film as weird. There are no bizarre cult classic choices going on here. Instead, it feels...literary. It feels like these characters don’t exist in any version of reality that you or I would recognize unless you were also a character in a book that takes place in a New York with no tourists or gentrification or $1 pizza slices. The plot is pretty convoluted, but basically Theo (Ansel Elgort) is a young boy when he goes to the Met and a bomb goes off, killing his mother. In the aftermath of the explosion, he meets a man who convinces him to 1) steal a painting and 2) take his ring as a sign to show the man’s business partner. Everything from there dictates the rest of Theo’s life as he bounces around from adoptive family on the Upper East Side to shitty real family on the outskirts of Las Vegas back to New York again. There’s a large and wacky cast of characters and a lot of twists and turns that really don’t make much sense. Also, it gets pretty gay.
Some thoughts:
The casting is all pretty spectacular, as the young Theo (Oakes Fegley) really does look like Ansel Elgort.
Do they really give kids morphine lollipops? That seems irresponsible.
We really see the entire spectrum of white people here, from the brittle WASP-y Upper East Side of Nicole Kidman and family to the white trash foreclosed desert developments where Sarah Paulson totters in stripper heels outside Las Vegas, Nevada. And across that entire spectrum, their only solution for this kid who’s experienced this huge trauma is to keep giving him drugs, so at least that’s consistent.
I don’t understand what it is about literary fiction that has such a hard time translating to film - I’m sure all these characters feel more real in the book, but in the movie, everything just feels like so much unreality? Every new character that’s introduced feels like we’re walking into a new, weird SNL skit.
Sarah Paulson is having a hell of a good time, though, which I always appreciate seeing.
Dennis O’Hare is truly excellent at being oily and threatening.
Finn Wolfhard is magnetic to watch, but his accent verges on cartoonish. Like all of his little “Ha!”s sound fake. However, the entire section of the film with Young Boris and Young Theo is the most captivating and feels like it’s the most emotionally honest. Like, they’re just throwing chips at each other and punching each other and it doesn’t feel like it’s trying to be anything more than deepening this relationship between these two boys, which is kind of nice in a movie where everything feels like it’s supposed to be a metaphor.
NYC is also hot in the summer - why the fuck did Theo only bring with him this one grey sweater when he’s packing to go to Las Vegas? Are you telling me he doesn’t own ANYTHING with short sleeves?
Did everyone smoke this much indoors in 2004? I don’t remember that at all, but then I wasn’t living with anyone named Xandra at the time either.
There is a Very Good Dog named Popper who goes through a lot tbh but doesn’t really get any sort of resolution? He ends up with a safe place to stay but then we hear nothing more of him so like, I just hope he had a really good life because Popper did nothing wrong and deserves everything for being such an intrepid lil traveler eating potato chips on the bus.
You know how I know this was based on a Pulitzer-prize-winning novel and not like, reality? Because everyone in the film says “blah blah blah as long as you like” instead of “as long as you want” like normal ass human beings. Take note. It happens at least 7 times, and each subsequent time made me feel more and more like I was in an MFA fiction workshop and some dude was explaining to the class how taking acid is a metaphor for expanding consciousness and bridging the gap between childhood and adulthood while all I wanted to do was get to the student union before they ran out of chicken tenders.
I know I ragged on Theo’s sweaters, but I do appreciate Pippa’s (Ashleigh Cummings) very strong sweater game. To be fair, she lives in London and we see her only in New York during rainy and cold times so like her sweaters make sense. I’m a big fan of Pippa and her wardrobe and her hair and I feel like she’s probably someone who has a much more interesting and rich interior life in the novel and she kind of gets shortchanged here as one of Theo’s almost love interests.
Speaking of, I thought this movie was going to be a lot gayer than it ended up being - Boris kissing Theo in the trailer was like “okay okay alright i see u gay boys i see u” but then it all ended up as so much subtext on the cutting room floor. Theo has more chemistry with Boris than any other person in the film, and Boris’s appearance in adult Theo’s life is essentially the device that moves everything forward again, but everything stays closeted and bottled up. There’s no emotional catharsis between them, no acknowledgement of what they mean to each other. I was left wanting so much more from the one bright spot of the entire narrative.
Also maybe I’m just too stupid (I don’t think I am) but ultimately, what was the point of it all? Why did Welty encourage Theo to take the painting in the first place?? I get why Theo did it independently of Welty, based on the film’s last line. And why he kept the painting for so long. But why did he actually take it? I feel like I should know the answer to that question and I really really don’t.
Did I Cry? I didn’t, and I feel like I should have.
Here’s the problem. I’m honestly not sure what I would suggest to improve this film. The performances are all GOOD and the pacing is steady (read: slow) but I’m not sure what to cut? I think the biggest problem is that none of it feels real. It all feels, in the words of Ferris Bueller, like a museum: it’s very beautiful, and very cold, and you’re not allowed to (emotionally) touch anything. It leads to an experience that I think could hold a lot more meaning than it actually does - in this case, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that you could get the experience that you actually want by reading the novel.
