  1. Melancholia is the best Science Fiction Film Ever

    I don't think you think of Science Fiction often when thinking about Lars Von Trier. Yet, his 2011 masterpiece Melancholia is one of, if not the best, science fiction film(s) ever.
  2. So I actually watched both movies #AnotherEarth and #Melancholia (found old tweets as evidence 😆). Somehow I remembered the former much better. Was ruminating over them this past week when I came across the #EveryoneDies audiobook - planning to listen to it on the long flight to Shanghai. Yeah, one of those moods..

  3. I don't watch as many movies as I'd like on #TheCriterionChannel because most of the ones I choose require a level of #intellectual or #emotional investment, or both, that's been difficult for me since 2011, when my marriage imploded. I saw #Melancholia a few weeks later in the theater, which perfectly describes the movie and my mood then.

    That's the last deep #movie I saw in a theater.

    I used to thrive on such #films, but the world since then has me guarding my emotional health; I'm a softie.
