60 of 99 · most liked firstPsst! Listen! Your cells are communicating with you! And they're telling you that it's the 28th anniversary in Japan of the release of Square's cinematic RPG: PARASITE EVE. This is such an amazing game. One that stands out pretty uniquely in the Square catalogue at what it does. Aya Brea… ❤️

neutral · AI labelView post →#NowWatching THE SQUARE (2017). Director: Ruben Ostlund. Claes Bang, Elisabeth Moss. Swedish satire about art & human nature has moments of queasy brilliance, but feels overstuffed. Rewatch. #filmsky 📽
neutral · AI labelView post →Another interesting data point here: Last night I got out of a movie at The Davis at 9pm and walked home through the Square, which is typically dead on Sunday nights. But because there's new seating and sidewalk chalk in the street, several people were taking it as an invitation to stay out longer

Got 3 great movie suggestions, THE SQUARE will probably be up first.

Probably on the list because I wanted nostalgia and cheer and the charm of Dolly Parton to put the cap on 2020. Thanks, Dolly! What's yours? #FilmSky #MovieSky #ChristmasMovies #dollypartonchristmas

neutral · AI labelView post →Also last night - Christmas on the Square (4/10) A film starring Christine Baranski, soundtrack by Dolly Parton sounds perfection, on paper. This film is so much boring exposition, proceeded by the most unhinged events to ever happen in a Christmas film. Christine clearly did this film under duress

Luckily I was unloved as a kid so my parents never would've gotten me this movie and I got Spookly the Square Pumpkin instead.
