I Thought We Should Talk

I wasn't able to see "Marriage Story" in the theater (remind me never to try to park near the Los Feliz theater in the evenings), so I watched it on Netflix at my friend Linda's house prior to the Oscars.  She didn't want to sit through 3 hours of "The Irishman" again, so I didn't bother to ask.  I'll watch that eventually, though.

• So, Kylo Ren and Black Widow are getting a divorce...
• I really liked those "What I Love About..." letters.  That's one of the tools I would have used if I had continued to pursue my counseling career.
• I like that they both loved each other's competitiveness.
• I loved Laura Dern's role in this movie.  Laura Dern, Laura Dern, Laura Dern!!!
• I also loved how the film portrayed both characters with faults, and not just one being the villain (more Ben Solo than Kylo Ren, then).
• Both ScarJo and Driver were outstanding in their roles.  
• Baumbach's writing is incredible in this film, and I'm really glad he won Best Screenplay at the Spirit Awards.
• I thought it was hilarious when Cassie was trying to get her part right when serving the divorce papers.
• "It's all garnish, vegeterianism."
• Me:  "You need to go to a hospital!"  That observer woman couldn't even dial 911?!
• Loved all of the Hallowe'en costumes.  Must be nice to know costume designers that will make stuff for you.
• Aw, he didn't know where to bring the kid trick or treating.
• "You *were* happy. You've just decided that you weren't now."
• "I didn't even know what my taste was because I was never asked to use it."
• “And I’ll never stop loving him, even though it doesn’t make sense anymore.”
• Dude, Kylo Ren can sing!  Honestly, he did a great job, and I'd love to see Adam Driver in a musical, because he knows how to act and sing at the same time, instead of just singing whatever.  I really liked his rendition of "Being Alive"

I cried a lot, I laughed a lot; I really enjoyed this movie.
