I discovered today that the new Ant-Man movie had been out a week. I'd heard about reviews coming out, but had thought I'd see more of a reaction on tumblr if it was out already. But after reading both about the general reaction to it, and the cast list, noting specifically who wasn't on it (seriously, what do they think we all went to the second one for?), I've decided I don't want to walk through the cold or shell out the money just to see it in the theaters. I can always just watch it on Disney+ in three months time if I feel the need. And right now I feel more interest in watching Black Panther: Wakanda Forever again.
Although I've also been watching the new All Quiet on the Western Front on Netflix. That's one striking, brutal film. I haven't read the novel, so I don't known how much is from that and how much of the scenes with the higher-ups especially was derived purely from history, but it all works together to further raise the viewer's anger and grief at the world that caused the war to happen.
I've actually seen enough of the Oscar nominees this year I may well watch at least part of the ceremony. Then again, I'm dubious on how much I'll like the results.
