I just saw it yesterday, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to recall the name. Luckily it was a double feature with One Battle After Another.
Yeah she ain’t Kate.
Kate’s well-respected, has helped build the reputation of the British Film industry and its ancillaries.
Done more than our fucking King, but that’s another topic
Kate is basically to the UK what Meryl Streep is to the US.
I haven’t had the chance to rewatch that. I like Pynchon, so I should just go in thinking it’s dark absurdist comedy. I took it a bit too literally the first time, so SP’s character seemed regarded and deliberately portrayed as a projection of woke stoopid .
An actor?
MS can be insufferable at times. Wasn’t she the grandma in JD Vance’s biopic?
I saw it as a meditation on how people get caught up in ideologies to the detriment of human relationships. Like any good work of art, it’s open to multiple interpretations.

I found it like reading The Alchemist, overrated pseudo philosophy
I haven’t read it. What I heard about it made it sound to me like the book equivalent of a warm hug – a genre I prefer to avoid in both written and screen forms.

You think the Alchemist didn’t deserve it?

Maybe the best worst movie I"ve ever seen. It’s so bad that it’s good. The terrible special effects are a riot.
Cult following.

Haven’t seen Sunshine in, um, decades I guess, but I’d say your comparison is like comparing literally any sandwich that’s not a shit sandwich to a shit sandwich. 
Also haven’t read that book in decades, but that’s probably for the best.
