weekly digest: getting back into the swing of things
everything that happened at Flick Filosopher from Monday, July 31, to Sunday, August 6
Got four Daily Streams out this week, which isn’t quite daily but better than I’ve managed lately. Didn’t post any reviews, but a few are in progress.
I’m off to see Oppenheimer again right now, and then I’ll be ready to write about that one.
My wheels are still spinning, but they’re starting to get me in motion again, at least a bit.
Hope your week is off to a good start too!

loaded question: is IMAX worth the premium upgrade?
Does IMAX make a film feel more like an event in a way that cannot be replicated even with the best home setup, or even in small multiplex screens? Or does IMAX come at too high a price? [reply at Flick Filosopher | reply at Substack | reply at Patreon]
