Project Hail Mary
★★★½ Watched

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

The Devil Wears Prada 2
★★★½ Watched

A bit overlong (Andy's new boyfriend was not needed) but the cast still completely slays of course and seeing these characters after so long was really nice. Nigel ❤️
More melancholic and perhaps less fun than the iconic first film but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Lots of nostalgia and callbacks yes, but it also has something to say that wasn't present in the first film (yes the state of modern journalism is depressing); and the characters' evolution after 20 years feels mostly natural. Which is more that we can say for most legacy sequels.

A very likable and sincere tearjerker which easily fits into the "underrated gem" category. Robin Williams really was kindness incarnate.

Self-Love. Taking responsibility. How growing up doesn't mean you have to completely lose your inner child. "And remember, fair maiden, should you need us...,Yes, should you need us, for any reason at all..."; and Sexual Awakening/Female Desire the movie, all from the mind of Kermit the Frog's dad. Damn.

While it does have flaws, (the battle to get inside the castle really drags near the end), I love it way too much to acknowledge them. Iconic quotes and characters easily…
