Blue Valentine is one of the more depressingly real depictions of a relationship that I've seen put to film. Despite the fact that they both sort of 'gave up' at one point, I couldn't help but feel a lot more sympathy towards Gosling than Williams. He gave up a lot for her and it didn't work out in the end, even when he kept trying she shut the door. I used to work at a Blockbuster when this movie came out and a girl I worked with said to me "Oooh, a Ryan Gosling movie, I'll watch this tonight". The next day she came in and I asked her what she thought of the movie; "It sucked...he's so ugly in it." I miss working there, ha.
Into Spider-Verse my son loves Spider-Man. He's got the hats, shoes, pyjamas and he's watched this movie dozens of times. He's been on a good streak of wanting to rematch good movies over and over; Toy Story, Wall-E, Spider-Man. I thought that seeing the film so many damn times it would tarnish my love and appreciation of it. Nope. It still feels fresh and I catch new little things every viewing. This film rocks.
Having a second kid makes going to the movies a bit of a hassle, but this summer I've been able to go see TWO movies. Yah me, right? I chose Midsommar and Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. Positive on both, but really love the latter. Glad to see more love thrown its way.
