Our parents got Wrangler for us for Christmas in 2007. We said goodbye to him today. He was, objectively and unequivocally, the best dog in the entire world. I love you, Wrangie.

Still thinking about Aftersun. Today, *THE* shot. And I’m thinking about it because it distils in a single frame some heavy things I’ve grown up with and experienced since becoming a father that it overwhelms me to see on screen. I feel like this one’s going to need a thread 🧵:

I also want to mention that Aftersun wrecked me harder than any movie I’ve seen in years and that Paul Mescal is probably the best actor in the world even though he won’t win tonight
