I don't know if anyone still talks about movies on here or if the discussion has been moved to a different thread, but damn 2017 has actually been pretty great.
In the last month or so I've seen Good Time, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, and Lady Bird and all three are contenders to be my favourite of 2017. I'm sure they will be replaced by Phantom Thread upon release though.

We saw Phantom Thread on Saturday. Paul Thomas Anderson is my favorite, and this is one of my favorites of his.
It is the most like Punch-Drunk Love of any of his films. Which is to say, it is brutally funny. Which is to say, it was not at all what I expected.
After thirty minutes, I felt like I had been drinking champagne and huffing nitrous. After two hours, I felt like I had been drinking champagne and huffing nitrous non-stop for two hours.

PTA is one of my favorites (The Master is probably in my top 5 movies) so I am also excited to see how this stacks up against Paddington 2.

You won't believe this, but Steph and John were not as intent on seeing Paddington 2 as I was. We ended up seeing Three Billboards instead.
Three Billboards was pretty great, but I probably would have liked it more if a.) I hadn't seen it immediately after Phantom Thread or b.) it had been Paddington 2.

I’m glad to hear you liked Three Billboards, since we seem to have similar movie tastes and I was getting concerned about the backlash. Still sad about no Paddington 2 review though.

Nearly everything about Three Billboards is objectively very well done but if you stop for even half a second to think about the politics of it...the backlash is well deserved.
