Just adore you Ms. Straub. I think you could make a grocery list fun to read.

Best casting - Samantha Morton by a mile - In America, Sweet & Lowdown, so many other great performances. She is always incredible! So wonderful to see that Nolan decided she would be the perfect Circe. :)

Almost every time I go to London I see a celebrity and last time I’d only been there 5 mins and Himesh Patel walked past me twice. I only noticed him the first time because I was admiring his wife’s cap - pink, embroidered with “no notes”.

Don't want to put this burden on you, but I would really be into getting all of my movie reviews in this format. Brilliant!

“Two thumbs and one eyeball up” is my new favorite forever movie review! I’m going to use it for every movie now. Perfection.

Whew, brilliant, that is another commentary I don’ need a movie to ruin!

Now THIS is a review, and I'm excited to see the movie, thank you!

R Patz is leo minus ego, though I found his perfect jawline a little too distracting in MIckey 17 to buy that he was a reject. Otherwise agree!

It’s a stupendous jawline.

Thank you. Definitely will see it confirmed mostly by this.

saw The Odyssey last night and this list made me light up with joy. I, too, considered taking up weaving...

Couldn’t agree more. Also, why didn’t they let Himesh Patel get jacked for this movie? Seems unfair. Love that guy.

This landed in my inbox literally as I was driving away from the theater. This was so good! Thank you Emma 😊

You left one out:

Can I hold it until the end?

After seeing the movie, I said to my friend who is going tomorrow: if at any point you feel like you need to pee, just go. If they are in a boat, go pee.

You mean bathroom breaks?? I love a bathroom break.

So do I. Took two on my commute to work yesterday. 🤣
