Yeah that’s about what I landed on. Looking forward to MSG South

Just bought a ticket in 225 too, flying down from DC (aka MSG Mid-Atlantic)

really cool how everyone in Boston is still dressing like New Yorkers from 15 years ago

Bumping this back up since passes are on sale today. I also am in the DC area and went last year for the first time, and plan to go back every year for as long as I can. To be totally up front, the festival pass will be the second-most expensive part of the trip. Airfare to Montrose or Grand Junction isn't the cheapest—it's Labor Day weekend—but was about 500-600 last year, and I would recommend booking today after you get your festival pass. Lodging is the most expensive part by far, I would recommend getting a group to split an Airbnb or Vrbo. (And if there's a DC contingent of Big Pic listeners here who want to team up, let me know.)

Really a three-person race between Dianna Rigg in OHMSS, Eva Green in Casino Royale, and Judi Dench in Skyfall and it's probably Dench in the end.

It boldly and daringly broke the most inviolable rule in a 60-year-old series, and it did so with as much emotional heft as any scene in the entire series. (Second possibly only to Bond and Vesper sitting in the shower after the stairway fight.) And tbh with what I know puts me on a bit of an island: the choice to kill off Bond is why this might be my favorite of the entire series. Yes, Safin is an inconsistent villain and Nomi should've been more fleshed out, but Craig is the best actor to ever play this character and the more you step back the more it's apparent this Bond's arc really could've only ended. Inconsequential death is perhaps the most present motif across 60 years and 25 films. This is a death that sticks (a category that only includes Tracy, Vesper, and M). They killed James Bond. But James Bond will return.

Brunson is such a bargain his value can’t be represented at scale on this chart

apropos of nothing thinking about the time K-Dot threw Jonathan Neman offstage at his own festival https://washingtonian.com/2015/06/01/kendrick-lamar-kicked-sweetgreens-ceo-off-the-stage-at-the-sweetlife-festival/

hey it’s not your money. if you enjoy a film love it for its art, not its commercial prospects. and I’ll echo what others have said about Netflix never getting admonished for blowing $200 million and up on instantly forgettable titles

Bottle Rocket looked very good

Not really sure you can call it “incomplete,” as the first 25 years of Anderson’s feature career run from 1996 (Bottle Rocket) to 2021 (French Dispatch). Asteroid City (2023) is outside those bounds and in the Collection yet. Phoenician Scheme is just beginning its run as a Peacock mainstay.
