My seat relative to the screen’s size definitely made this the biggest that this movie has ever physically appeared to me — which means that I noticed some very subtle eyeball acting from Michael C that I honestly had never seen before…which is kind of crazy when you think about it.

Only a couple things I’d change if we’re able to re-open the edit for a few more days…
