More Timothée Chalamet Again!

In the past few days, I've watched "Miss Stevens" (2016), "Little Women" (2019), and "A Rainy Day In New York" (2019). I enjoyed them all. I liked "Miss Stevens" and "Little Women" the best. I did enjoy "A Rainy Day In New York", but not as much as the other two. I tried to watch "Dune" (2021), but I couldn't get into it. I'll try again in a few days. I think I'm experiencing a bit of burnout from those types of movies. I wound up watching "New Year's Eve" (2011) instead, which I enjoyed. It was a fun watch, and I think it was just what I needed. Something light-weight and pleasant to watch. Not so dark and heavy-handed.

Even More Timothée Chalamet

I watched two more Timothée Chalamet movies yesterday: "Love The Coopers" and "Hot Summer Nights". He didn't have a lot of screen time in "Love The Coopers" but it was a good movie nevertheless. Timothée is so good at playing the odd introvert, I'm starting to think that's who he really is in real life. I laughed out loud at the awkward kissing scenes with him and his love interest in the film. I really enjoy him as an actor. He's very talented. I did feel sad seeing Diane Keaton and Alan Arkin in the movie because they are no longer with us and I love them both, but I enjoyed their performances as always. I really liked the movie a lot.

"Hot Summer Nights" was different than I thought it was going to be. I thought it was going to be funny and light-hearted, but it turned out to be quite serious in ways that I didn't expect. Timothée was the odd introvert again, but this time I saw a bit of something else in his performance, his fierce determination, his will to succeed, to overcome his shyness and assert himself. I saw his ambitiousness. His refusal to quit or let his fear stop him from achieving his goal. There's more to him than meets the eye.

I'm struggling with my decision of which movies of Timothée's to watch next. Most of them are very dark and depressing, so much so, that I've been feeling the weight of them in my day-to-day life. I've been feeling dark and depressed since I started watching them. I'm getting tired of feeling this way. It's taking a toll on me. I might have to stop for a while and watch something else. Something more light-hearted. There are things that I need to do and this feeling is draining all of the energy from me.

More Timothée Chalamet

I watched two more Timothée Chalamet movies: "Lady Bird" and "Beautiful Boy". Lady Bird was a good movie, although Timothée only had a small part in it. Beautiful Boy was a very hard watch for me because I had been involved with someone who had drug problems (they passed away in March of this year). It was heart-wrenching, frustrating, and very sad. It brought me right back to where I was just a short time ago, and it really upset me. It was so hard to go through and it almost destroyed me. Watching this movie stirred up all kinds of bad feelings inside me. The Timothée Chalamet character in this movie survived, unlike my friend who lost his battle with drugs. It really hurt reliving that time in my life again. Timothée's acting in the movie was very realistic, and it brought back memories of what I went through with my friend. I kept bursting into tears and feeling very panicky. I almost cut the movie off several times, but I pushed through it and kept watching to the end. I'm glad I did because I needed that closure, even if it wasn't real. I wish it had been real. I wish my friend had survived, but he didn't, and I'm still picking up the pieces of my life after his death. My heart is still broken. I'm still broken from it all, but I'm still here. I still have to fight everyday to get through it. Some days are better than others. I'm not giving up. I will fight on, but I'm tired. I'm so tired. God is with me every day. That's how I survive. I'm not alone. God is here. I miss you, Tommy.

It's Timothée Chalamet Month!

I'm officially declaring December of 2025 as Timothée Chalamet Month! I finally got a chance to see "Call Me By Your Name" a few days ago, and I loved it! Damn, that was such a good movie! So, now I'm on the lookout for other good movies that Timothée's been in. Yesterday I watched "A Complete Unknown" and I loved that one, too! Now I see what all the hubbub is about! He is something else! I am smitten with him and can't wait to watch another movie that he's in. Later today, I plan on watching a couple more movies that he's in. I can't wait!
