Shallow take - there's something about his face that makes him not attractive to me. Superman is supposed to be hot. I imprinted on Christopher Reeve as a child, and still find that black hair/blue eyed/square jaw situation to be hot like burning. He has these things, but somehow not.
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

The dog is uncanny valley for me. Looks like a cartoon.

Same, Vortex. It's hard to pin down because as you go through Corenswet's features one by one everything should work, and his face isn't actually that dissimilar to Henry Cavill's. But in the end the appeal just isn't there. I'm pretty sure it's something about his eyes.
I will say that in other projects I've seen him project the gee-whiz Jimmy Stewart wholesome aura that's needed for the character.

I watched Suspicion tonight. 1942 Hitchcock. Not his best. This was a review on Letterboxd that has me laughing still: “90 minutes of Cary Grant being hella sus”.

I had fond memories of it from my teen years, and I still love it (mainly for Beaky and the Regency romance plot), but it went down in my esteem quite a bit when I blogged Hitchcock's filmography a decade or so ago. Now, it just barely makes the top 20 in my Hitchcock rankings.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I finally saw Sinners on Saturday, and told my mother she should really see it, so then today when I was going to see Thunderbolts with my cousin (I am obviously way behind), Sinners was at the same theater at about the same time, so she came and saw that! We both thought it was great, obviously.

For Tony Todd fans, I've read that the filmmakers of Final Destination: Bloodlines were informed of his diagnosis and let him go off script in his character's final scene to give whatever goodbye message he wanted to his fans and the audience in general. In addition to that bit of poignancy the movie is getting good reviews as a whole, so it sounds as if it's a proper sendoff.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
So, I want to see 28 Years Later but I don’t think I ever saw 28 Weeks Later and haven’t seen the first one since it was new. Should I catch up first?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Dave Bautista to star in RomCom:
The film tells the story of bestselling romance author Francine London, who has a secret: she’s actually a six-foot-four mountain of a man named Ed Schwenke. When Ed’s identity comes under scrutiny, he hires a wildcard of a woman to pose as Francine at a romance fiction convention, while evading a cynical female journalist, who hates romance even more than she hates liars.

Wasn't this the premise of Oh Madeline back in the 80s?
