The Bear meets Iron Man meets incredible vibes
As a comics nerd, I was drawn to this one by the cast, but stayed for the feel good story. Pacing is a little strange, but it's truly an enjoyable watch and sure to make you hungry. Jon Favreau has an underrated ability to make you smile ear to ear.

it’s timeless, funny, touching, and feels particularly relevant during dark days like these. I took my bestie to a free screening yesterday because she’d never seen it and it was a hit. Save it for a cozy night in or for when you need a good cry (you will almost definitely cry)

When this came out in 2019 it wasn't really on my radar so I'm catching up to it late.
I expected this movie (based on the trailer more than anything) to be a dark comedy about World War II, the politics of conflict and man's inhumanity to man.
What I didn't expect was that it would be a low-key masterpiece.
It goes from "satire" to "drama" in like a nanosecond.
Scarlett Johansson is terrific here and the "kid actor" portrayals (typically I'm not a fan of child thespians, having grown up in L.A. around a bunch of damaged examples of this) are among the best I've ever seen.
I can't recommend this movie enough. The music direction is incredible (I loved the inclusion of German-language versions of Beatles and Bowie tunes) and director Taika Waititi (who also portrays a slapstick Hitler here) has created a unique Venn Diagram where self-skewering humor and childlike innocence collide with the cynicism of the modern world.
It won a bunch of awards but that isn't as important as the visceral takeout (and mind explosion) I had from watching this film.

i want to know where you came from! how you've changed! how you're doing now! is that really such a crime? is this not why social media exists?

I know I know, share the love and all
But you all already know too much ab me. Can’t let the outside circle know who I actually am, gotta keep the mysterious act up somehow

being an adult can get real busy, and I don’t have as much time to see my friends anymore. our solution for this has become a regular debrief night every 1-2 months. here’s the structure:
- cook or order a meal together
- come in the comfiest clothes
- late at night is ideal
- prepare throughout the week by building a PowerPoint with sections for each friend detailing important updates/occurrences in their lives (I like to present mine as little stories with pics for reference)
- appendix at the end of the ppt of new friends, enemies, and everyone’s “OOO” dates so we can make plans accordingly
these nights have come to be some of the best memories for us, and is now something everyone in our circles knows about - anytime something happens, someone asks us “will this/I be in the debrief now?” it’s structured fun and a great way to stay connected with my people. highly recommend if you have the time!
