Everything Everywhere All At Once

(I seem to be failing at playing catchup or talking about anything nontrivial on here, so here's what I did this afternoon)

cosmolinguist and I went to the cinema for the first time since the ongoing pandemic started. It was a quiet screening (Tuesday 5:10pm) for a film that's been out a while, and we wore our FFP2 masks throughout. One of the attendants made a point of telling us how the air cycling rate has been increased in the auditoriums, to above the standard required in hospitals. For some reason this wasn't mentioned on Cineworld's "covid precautions" webpage, which I might try to get them to fix as it may encourage more business for them.

The film, "Everything Everywhere All At Once", is excellent. It has real heart tied in with fantastic action and very silly comedy. Michelle Yeoh is amazing, Jamie Lee Curtis is great and Stephanie Hsu is a real break-away star. To say much more would risk spoilers; it's not a film where that would ruin the entire thing, but I'd much rather people went into it relatively unprepared because it's the best way to process the sheer batshit wholesome awesomeness of it.
