Originally I planned to go to a showing of Hundreds of Beavers tonight. When that fell through, I sorted my Letterboxd watchlist by length to find a shorter film and chose Daisies. Less than a minute into the credits I realized I wasn’t up for a 1960’s surrealist art film, and switched to Attack the Block, the story of lower class London teenagers simultaneously fighting off an alien invasion, the police, and a drug dealer.
I keep saying “these aren’t the kinds of movies I normally like,” then watching them and liking them. I think I may have been lying to myself about what I like.
Also: John Boyega is made of charisma.
