    The Good Thief (2002) [5]

    It's been too long since I've seen Interview With the Vampire or The End of the Affair.
    Just because...
    The Fabelmans (Steven Spielberg, 2022) mild
    Petite maman (Céline Sciamma, 2021) mild
    The Banshees of Inisherin (Martin McDonagh, 2022) mild

    The last book I read was...
    The Complete Short Stories by Mark Twain

    Surprised at the low ratings for the Butcher Boy. I thought it was pretty solid.

    My one viewing of The Crying Game was in theaters when I was 13. It was part of a double feature with Indian Summer and I knew nothing about either movie going in. I remember really enjoying The Crying Game I should watch it again.

    I counted The Butcher Boy among my favourite films a few years back. I should rewatch it. Jordan in general is quality.
