    Remember David Gordon Green? Well, he's still making movies!

    This is probably his best since... Pineapple Express? I didn't see Your Highness.

    This was better than it should have been. It's less of a hero-worship and more of a mature look into PTSD and recovery. Both Gyllenhaal and Maslany are terrific.

    I could have done without the Bawston aesthetics of the supporting cast. The whole white trash family dynamics, yelling at the Red Sox playing stuff, not knowing what a mojito is, is just unappealing to me.

    Check out Prince Avalanche if you can. It's criminally overlooked.

    I reeeeeeally regret missing this in theaters, but will certainly seek it out.

    It's weird to see that shot at Fenway at the end. I was at that game when they shot that scene and they didn't wheel anyone out in a wheel chair. That part was done in a studio with the crowd completely CGIed in.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?
