phantom thread was some good shit

great, now i have a crippling fear of mushrooms. Thanks

"Phantom Thread" was good, like really good. It had everything from some fine ass clothes, to a good ass plot twist, and of course My Boyfriend™ mr. Daniel Day Lewis. he still got it. I've been kind of underwhelmed this whole awards/movie season. I feel like most of what I've seen hasn't been as original as everything was last year, but this one was. Like pretty much all of Paul Thomas Anderson's work, I usually sit there for the first hour trying to figure out if I like the movie or not, and then once shit goes down in the second half, I'm down. With Phantom Thread I spent the first half thinking "the clothes are good, and he a freak but I don't know if I want another hour of this." But once those mushrooms came out I was like "alright. so this is what love feels like"

I was always going to see this movie but I'd originally thought it was just about fashion. And I mean it was but it wasn't a normal old fashion movie about models with eating disorders that have scandalous relationships with their photographers. The trailer made it look like shit may-or-may not hit the fan, so when I saw that it was listed as "drama,/crime" on it's imdb page, I was like "okay PTA, I see you". Would i call it "crime", no. But was it still fucked the hell up, yeah. So the first half was "decent enough fashion movie". The clothes were really good, there was your stereotypical asshole designer, it was classy as hell. You sat there happy for Alma because she went from waitress to muse in like 2 seconds, but you were also pissed at her for not leaving Reynolds (pretty sure thats his name, i'm too lazy to look it up). And homegirl Alma did fight back on occasion, but he'd just walk right back over her, or HBIC Cyril would do it for him. So when Alma shows up picking those mushrooms the whole theater collectively lost their shit (though there were a bunch of assholes that were overreacting to every little thing so they mainly lost their shit). I was sitting there having a moment like "Hell yeah Alma, get his ass." But then once he started going down I was sitting there, maybe about to cry, all "oh alma, girl why'd you have to go there". It was like how on "Breaking Bad", when hank came for walt, you spent the whole season praying for him to die, but then when he actually did you sat there like "god isn't real". But in this case my man DDL managed to stick around.

After that everyone made up, but there was still another hour left and I knew we weren't going to just sit there and watch 60 more minutes of dressmaking. After Reynolds (?) went full on asshole again I was like "the bitch has got. to. go." So then we cut to the mushrooms again, and like last time the theater freaked the fuck out, and i sat there like "Hell yeah, fuck him up, we're gonna kill his ass this time". And for a split second I thought he wasn't going to eat them, and definitely made a loud ass comment, but he eventually did. But instead of offing him, we got hit by a freaky ass plot twist. PTA had my ass fuckedddddd uppp. I left that theater v. confused, but satisfied ass hell. I'm terrified of Alma but she's also my new icon. I want an Alma/Cyril ticket in 2020, they'd have my vote 11/10.

I will say the music did sound like something out of a Biltmore ad, but Biltmore ads are classy as hell.

Lol I've finally managed to not complain about a movie, and to think all it took was a crazy bitch with mushrooms. I'd for sure go see this in the theater if you can. Shit was good, that's all i'm gonna say

Phantom Thread gets 5/5 OK's
