Nathan Tyree: IT Chapter 2

---

I am strangely excited for IT Chapter 2. When IT was released I was in junior high. I carried that giant brick of a book around everywhere I went for weeks. It rapidly became my favorite novel (since surpassed many times) and has had a place in my heart ever since.

When the TV mini-series came out I watched it with excitement. It was flawed, defanged by TV standards, but as good as we could have expected.

When Chapter 1 hit theaters I went opening weekend, with reserved emotions and a nagging belief that I would be disappointed. I was wrong. I loved every minute of it.

I am hoping against hope that they don't fuck up the second half.

Nathan Tyree: Peter parker and the Summer Festival

---

I have seen two new films this week:

Spider-Man: far from home

and

Midsommar

I recommend both films heartily, but for very different reasons.

Spider-man is kind-hearted, high-spirited, sweet summer fun. It will leave you smiling as you leave the theater.

Midsommar, on the other hand, is as tough as gristle, as hard as bone, and will leave you disquieted. It is claustrophobic in wide open spaces. It unsettles slowly, and builds dread that you hope will lift once the credits roll. This is a perfect follow up to Aster's previous film, Hereditary.

Nathan Tyree: Logan

Logan is, simply, an amazing film. I would rate it right beside The Dark Knight. After all the bland super hero movies of the last few years, we finally have a truly great super hero movie.
