Much like yesterday’s video, this is another video on which me and Evelyn disagree. She thinks that it’s about being young and free in Russia. I think it’s about vampires.

Here Are The Seattle Film Critics Nominations!
Earlier today, the Seattle Film Critics Society announced their nominations for the best of 2017! The winners will be announced on December 18th.
The most interesting thing about Seattle’s nominations? The amount of love that they showed to Blade Runner 2049, an acclaimed film that, with the exception of Roger Deakins’s cinematography, was running the risk of being forgotten during the precursor season. They also showed some love to Logan and The Disaster Artist, which made me happy.
