Screeners I've been invited to but won't attend

[Drunk Monk]

The Essex Serpent (book) got a number of good reviews, but I never got around to reading it.

This is an Apple TV series starring Claire Danes and Tom Hiddleston

[Drunk Monk]

The Unbearable weight of Massive Talent or The Northman. 

I got the invite to TUWoMT for next week but I'm going to wait about committing to it until my mom stabilizes. I've already committed to TN this upcoming Wednesday, but Patrick will be writing that one up so if I have to bail, I can easily (I hope I won't have to tho for so many reasons).

[Greg]

I can only cross so many fingers, but I will endeavor to do so. I hope your mother is on the mend.

Streamers from Searchlight. Not sure where they are streaming tho. 

rim-coms. 

FIRE ISLAND
STREAMING ON JUNE 3, 2022
FIRE ISLAND, set in the iconic Fire Island Pines, is an unapologetic, modern day rom-com inspired by Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. The story centers around two best friends who set out to have a legendary week-long summer vacation with the help of cheap rosé and a cadre of eclectic friends.

GOOD LUCK TO YOU, LEO GRANDE
STREAMING ON JUNE 17, 2022
Nancy Stokes (Emma Thompson), a retired school teacher, is yearning for some adventure, and some sex. Good sex. And she has a plan, which involves hiring a young sex worker named Leo Grande (Daryl McCormack).

NOT OKAY
STREAMING ON AUGUST 5, 2022
Danni Sanders (Zoey Deutch), an aimless aspiring writer with no friends, no romantic prospects and — worst of all — no followers, fakes an Instagram-friendly trip to Paris in the hopes of boosting her social media clout. When a terrifying incident strikes the City of Lights, Danni unwittingly falls into a lie bigger than she ever imagined. She "returns" a hero, even striking up an unlikely friendship with Rowan (Mia Isaac), a school-shooting survivor dedicated to societal change, and scooping up the man of her dreams Colin (Dylan O'Brien). As an influencer and advocate, Danni finally has the life and audience she always wanted. But it’s only a matter of time before the facade cracks, and she learns the hard way that the Internet loves a takedown.

Wasn't Red Dwarf the original rim-com?

What about Dr. Strange 2!!!!!?????

Just got the invite. Sorting it.

Mr. Cage is going to be very disappointed but I think he'll understand.

I'm sad I missed it last night. I had 3 paragraphs written in my head already - 1. the Kung Fu bow Nic uses, 2. Actors playing self deprecating versions of themselves (JCVD, Being John Malkovich, Murray in Coffee & Cigarettes, Norris in Dodgeball, Keanu in Always Be My Maybe, ad nauseum), and 3 how horrible JiuJitsu was (but Nic was the only almost redeeming factor). 

I got invited to another screener I'd never heard of and was going to add it here but I deleted the email and forgot what it was. I'd have to remote access my KFM email again and I only do that every once in a while.


Wasn't that big into Red Dwarf but I did like the cat.
