So I’m knitting while Air was on in the background, and I hear Matthew Maher’s voice. Which makes sense, people are in different projects, until someone calls his character Peter, and I’m baffled to look up and see this guy:

New World, New Life.
Bauer x Reader.
One shot.
Warnings: Fluff. Implicit Smut. Pregnancy. Daddy Bauer (no, not like that, you pervers)
Words: 4800
Summary: The world ended time ago but now people start walking around it again. And new doubts appear.
Taglist: @minervadashwood @livingdeadblondequeen @green-eyedladywrites @bringinsexybackk69
≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈
The capsule opens with a soft beeping sound, your ears are strained by the change of compression in the atmosphere around you. You breathe in deeply through your nose as the thermal sheath leaves your body and you are able to sit up on your bed, slowly. A groan escapes you and you carefully remove the IV from your arm.
"Everything okay, honey?" You hear not far from where you are.
You raise your head, looking for its owner, and smile half-sideways as his blue gaze bores into you, glowing brightly.
"Good morning, Bauer." You greet him watching as he shakes his head, brushing his hair out in front of his eyes.
You met Bauer the same day you started your mission, you were divided into groups, with different qualities, skills and academics, you would all have a new purpose. Each pair would be sent to different bunkers that you yourselves had adapted, perfected and prepared for the next few years of your life ahead of you. The Earth had become an uninhabitable pit due to the selfishness of the human being, disabling its existence, but they had studied that it would be a passing thing, they did not know exactly when they would be able to step on Earth again, but that would be the goal of your mission, to keep the most important, most relevant and wise people in the world to be able to make things better in the next world.
Or so you were told.
At first meeting your partner was complicated, he seemed annoyed and angry with the world, later you would find out why, but even so, the first encounters were tense and uncomfortable. As time went on and you were the only beings you could communicate with, you both agreed to get along as best you could. After a couple of attempts, Bauer surprised you by being a funny man, with an acid and somewhat spicy humor, but pleasant and without making you feel uncomfortable, he was sincere and was not ashamed of what he thought, sometimes he woke up from the capsule annoyed, not wanting to talk, he just took his cigarette and went to work, as the minutes passed his mood was changing and while you were preparing the Sleepers, he suddenly spoke to you through your communicator, scaring you.
"Bauer I told you not to do that again!" You reproached him, hearing him laugh.
"And how funny would it be if I listened to you?" he would reply many times, some of them right behind you, seeing him that disgusting proud smile for having achieved his goal.
Your mission was to keep alive the people who would conquer the future when the world was habitable again, you had two hours to do it, you with your medical expertise made sure that all the Sleepers were still alive inside their capsules, Bauer kept the facility and the coexistence in perfect conditions so that everything would run its course. Little by little your friendship was forged and over time, it became something more.
You never talked about it, simply a mutual agreement, the facility and the Dormers came first, then with the minutes you had left, you would dedicate some time to each other. Sometimes Bauer would finish before you, he would come over and hug you spreading kisses down your neck making you lose track of what you were doing, other times it was you that wouldn't let him finish his task, kneeling in front of him, with your mouth full.
"Fuck, girl, this place is going to fall apart if I don't..." Sometimes he couldn't finish the sentence, cumming.
"Good morning." He greets you back by carefully getting up from the table to walk over to you and you kiss each other slowly. "I know it sounds corny as fuck, but I missed you." He whispers against your lips and a chuckle escapes you, shaking your head.
"You can be a lot of things, Bauer, but never cheesy..." You joke and see him look at you offended, but something catches your attention. "Wait, what?" you look over his shoulder and suddenly you're afraid.
The clock is at zero, neither forward, nor backward, the air is not charged, the lights are still on, the supply has not been cut off, everything is working, but the clock is not moving. You look at the air vents, something is coming through them, but they are certainly not connected to the common supply. You turn away from him to check that everything is okay, that there hasn't been a system failure, Bauer keeps looking at the diagnostics for you, the computer keeps pulling up new records.
"B-Bauer..." You call out to him with wide eyes.
"What, what's going on?" he walks over to you and then discovers what you're looking at. "Fuck..."
The toxicity levels of the air outside is in the green zone on the controller, it's not even close to half the clock, the level is surprisingly low, but that's not all, there's a soft beeping coming from somewhere and on the cameras you see the Sleepers, starting to incorporate into their tanks.
Oxygen regenerates outside, the world is safe again. The mission has come to an end.
"Oh shit." Grunts Bauer as you rush out to the lower facility to check that everyone is okay.
There is a new step, a new beginning, now everything is blank again, the manual has no more advancement than what you guys know, they never gave you anything else in case the future was closer than they had planned.
Bauer gets going, putting on his overalls, he helps you to check that all the people are well, that no one has any strange symptoms because they have been lying down for so long, asleep. Little by little everything is working, connecting, you explain to them what has happened, many of them already know, others seem confused, as if they had only been asleep for a couple of hours. You know that feeling, you have been living it all that time while protecting the facilities.
"I'll go out first." Your partner tells you, grabbing the special suit to go outside. "I'll check that everything is okay, that it wasn't a system failure." He explains and you look at him nervously.
"Bauer... it could be dangerous..."
"If we don't, we have to put all these people back to sleep, reboot the system..."
"I know, I know, but..."
"Hey..." His hands caress your cheeks. "It's going to be okay, trust me."
You nod your head and let him put his helmet on before walking out of the area leaving you there with all those people.
Tumblr media
It's been two years after that, and you still feel goosebumps rise on your skin every time you open your eyes and the sun warms your face. The memory of the first time you left the bunker after so many years locked up, when you got out helped by Bauer, the Earth reduced to ashes, the almost deserted and inhospitable environment, a bluish and yellowish haze surrounded all your surroundings, but it was not toxic, it was not unpleasant, it did not damage your lungs or produce abrasive rashes on your skin, so it was true, everything seemed to return to normal little by little.
What surprised you most was to see the other facilities open up and join you.
Now there are about ten thousand of you passing the Earth again, a very poor number for all of you who were once, you had also lost in that period of time some of those illustrious people you had protected, some diseases had mutated becoming more aggressive and your immune systems were weakened to the time of hibernation, some had simply gone mad and could not stand the pressure of living this way. But it was not all bad, there were also births, some babies now growing strong and adapting their existence to the new world. The serums you used to sleep had a formula that blocked the menstrual period of the women, by no longer taking the serum, little by little they all recovered their cycles.
But yours not. At least not yet.
You and Bauer, your relationship is different now, you haven't grown apart, but there are so many things to do that your preferences are different. Or so you think. You know that your partner was married, that he had children, maybe he misses all that, maybe he wants or needs to start a family again, you wouldn't mind being that person with whom he could share his life forever, but now you are not the only one. Now there are more women out there.
You shuffle nervously in your seat, as a medical specialty, you help other renowned doctors to help your co-workers when they come with a problem, luckily things have calmed down a lot after the last year, but you always have to keep your guard up. You work in the bunker, it is the most sterilized area, you use them for important things, research, development and hospitalization, Bauer is part of the engineering team, they are in charge of expanding the city, fixing the less deteriorated buildings, giving them a second chance for all of you, there are exploration groups that keep traveling from one place to another looking for any survivor, water samples or any animal that does not represent a mortal threat for all of you. In two years you have come a long way, but there is still too much to do.
"That will be enough for today." You hear your companion beside you. "It's late, the night is cold these days, we should head home."
"Sure. See you tomorrow." You say goodbye, gathering your things.
You look at the clock, the one that used to count your hours of life, now it is back to tell you your working day, the days still have the same hours, curiously, in the calendar you measured the first day you all woke up as day 1 of the year Zero and since then you have been governed by the change of the seasons, the lunar and solar cycles, the tides, you try to make everything have a sense similar to before the world changed.
You put on your jacket properly, thankful that the clothing in the bunkers is prepared for extreme weather. As you return to the outside, you immediately recognize Bauer's ringing voice, he is waiting for you outside. Unconsciously your heart starts beating much faster as you quicken your pace to get outside to meet him. His work area is further away from your bunker, but when he's finished, he's gone to find you, it's those little details that always make you smile when you think of him, those little signs of affection, of bonding between you, as if you were still in the care period of the Sleeping Ones. Alone, you and him.
You stop as you reach outside, in front of you, Bauer is talking to a companion of yours, he smiles with his hands stuffed in the pockets of his work pants, she presses her work papers to her chest as she laughs and flirts, it looks like a scene from a teen movie, and you feel out of place. Your feet don't move, you just stand there, looking at them, not sure if you want to wait for them to finish talking or just step aside and leave without saying anything. But Bauer sees you, in one of those moments, when he smiles chewing his lip, his eyes search for you and then his attention to the other woman disappears completely to smile at you and raise his hand, waving at you. She stops talking too, following his gaze, discovering you, your stomach flips as you see the fear in her gaze, she knows she was doing something wrong, behind your back, she seems to want to tell him something else, but Bauer ignores her walking towards you. You have a few seconds ago put aside the worry of whether you are what Bauer needs, for the worry that his hand is bandaged.
"What happened to you?" You ask him worriedly.
"Hi to you too, did you have a good day?" he jokes giving you a kiss on the head.
"Hi, it's been a long day... How the hell did you do that to yourself?" you insist hearing him laugh.
"It's just a small cut, we're reusing the materials from some hibernation capsules and when separating the inner rings, I cut myself." He explains to you, shrugging, as if it's not important.
"Let me look at that." You ask, grabbing him by the wrist, walking back inside the bunker.
Bauer follows you without opening his mouth, with an amused smile, his eyes fixed on the back of your neck. He enjoys it when you take care of him, when you care, he loves to see how you smile when he comes to pick you up after work, how you welcome him home if his shift is at night and he comes home in the morning.
It's almost like coming home for real.
"Sit down." You ask him as you go to get some medical supplies.
He obeys by sitting at the table you used to use for eating, for checking diagnostics...for fucking. He grunts low at the thought of it, wherever he looks in that place, it all brings back memories of your times together, work was work, but fuck, Bauer loved the last twenty minutes on the clock, loved and hated them; on one hand it meant you had the time to yourselves, he's not proud, he knows that twenty minutes wasn't enough to show you what he could do with you, how he could make you feel, but he tried every time; on the other hand those twenty minutes meant that when the clock reached zero, you would go back to your capsules and go back to sleep for six more months, six months without seeing each other, at first he didn't care, but as time went by a strange feeling lodged in his stomach every time you lay down in your tanks and the hatches closed. What if they never opened again? What if you never saw each other again? What if it was all over and he hadn't told you everything he really felt?
"Show me your hand." Your voice, bringing him out of his thoughts, he lifts his head to see you sitting next to him and shows you his hand.
"Yes, ma'am." He smiles as you look sideways at him.
Carefully you undo the bandage little by little, unwrapping his hand, there is some blood on the cloth, but the wound doesn't seem very deep, a cut goes all the way across the palm of his hand, it still bleeds a little, but it doesn't worry you. You rest his hand in your lap opening new material to heal him and bandage him again.
"Thanks, I love having a nurse all to myself." He laughs and you snort in amusement.
"Idiot..."
"Maybe..." He leans towards you and kisses you slowly. "But I'm your idiot..."
You smile, but at the same time you are nervous, he kisses you again, you reciprocate his kiss by holding his hand when he touches your cheek, his hand on your thigh moves and you break the kiss slowly.
"Sometimes I miss being here, you know?" He confesses in a whisper causing you to look up at him. "Alone. You and me... with no one else knowing about us..." He continues to speak softly, his fingers playing with your hair.
"B-Bauer..."
"This place was ours, wasn't it? Maybe two hours every six months wasn't enough, but it was our home... don't you think?" He looks at you intently.
"D-don't say that... these people..." You try to be reasonable, he nods understanding you.
"I know, but sometimes I hate the way your boss looks at you." He confesses again, but this time he gets up, not giving you time to respond. "Let's go back, they'll be closing the doors soon and these days the night is getting cold."
You nod picking things up, leaving everything tidy again, Bauer takes your hand and the two of you leave the bunker. The walk home is silent, the sun is setting and the moon is beginning to appear, the glow creates an almost fantasy atmosphere, with all that dust in suspension acquiring new colors and lights. It is magical. Your body sticks a little closer to his, you feel a little cold in your hands and on the tips of your toes, it's something that always happens to you when you're nervous and the conversation with Bauer has left you a little upset, not in a bad way, you just feel that there are things you should keep talking about, but at the same time you're afraid of receiving an answer you don't want to hear.
"We're here." He tells you when you reach your house, you have rebuilt the least damaged part of an old New York City building turning it into a small house for yourselves, using still useful materials and things from the bunkers, for your small civilization it is enough. Bauer rests his hands on your shoulders and rubs your arms several times, intensely, a pleasant warmth comes over you and you laugh softly.
"Thank you."
"Are you better?" he asks you and you nod.
"Perfect, you're a perfect stove." You joke making him laugh too.
You separate, you go to the kitchen to prepare something to eat, at first you only had ration food, but the scouting parties kept finding animals and plants that were edible and didn't pose a threat to your system, adding them to your new diet. Electricity is still a difficult thing to control, you have managed to get some generators running, use elices from the wind fields to get power, but you still have a long way to go for that. You take out the jars of meat you have prepared, for better preservation, to add to the vegetables you are growing in your small fields. You feel Bauer settle in at the kitchen table to watch what you're doing.
"Do you know what Sarah was telling me earlier?" he says to you, breaking the small silence that has settled in the kitchen. Sarah is the partner he was talking to on the way out of the bunker. "Apparently her period is back."
You stop what you're doing, a shiver runs through you. You find it a little weird and awkward to walk up to someone and say, "Hey, my period's back." You know why it has, you saw it in her eyes when she saw you, she likes Bauer and would like to take advantage of her regained fertility with him.
"That's great, some women are worried about that."
"Yes, that's what she told me, she thought the serum had rendered her completely sterile." He shrugs. "I guess every woman will have her time..."
"We all have our times." You chuckle softly when you hear him snort.
"I'm happy for her, I imagine she was worried there would be some man she was interested in."
"Of course she is." You laugh in disbelief as you realize he doesn't know what you're talking about.
"Really? Who?" curiosity increases in his voice, he leans against the table as you turn around looking at him with raised eyebrows.
"Have you really not noticed or are you kidding me?" You ask him with mockery in your voice.
"Me? No, of course not, she didn't..."
"Bauer, I've seen her talking to you, the way she looks at you... it's obvious she likes you. A lot." You say turning back to dinner.
"She talks to everyone the same, I've never noticed any different treatment..."
"Maybe she doesn't have a definite type of taste in men, but she... she does want something with you."
"But I don't want anything with her." He assures you. "She's not my type."
You pause for a second, Bauer notices your hesitation, your doubt, he smiles because you're not looking at him, but he can sense that you've tensed, that there's something bothering you.
"Really?" you try to sound casual and it amuses the technician even more.
"Yes, I already have someone who fits my type of woman." He assures you, you tense up again, but you continue to prepare the food.
"I-I'm glad...now that there are so many of us...i-it's good to bond with others." You whisper, trying to believe what you're saying. "D-do I know her?"
"Her? Oh yes, of course..." He is amused by your attitude, you are jealous, annoyed, he can appreciate the trembling of your shoulders, of the stiffness of your whole being. He gets up from the table and walks towards you. "You know her very well... because it's you." His hands span your waist as you gasp at his touch and he pulls you away from the fire, resting your back against his chest.
"Bauer..."
"What's wrong? What's got you worried?" He speaks against your ear, very low.
"Nothing, it's just..." His hands caressing your waist make it hard for you to concentrate. "There are more women now... if you had interest in another..."
"Why do you think this is only one way?" He asks you and you tense up. "What if one day you find a guy you like better than me? Are you going to live being miserable just because you won't tell me?"
"N-no! That's not what I meant... I was thinking about you, because..." Your cheeks start to redden and your fingers twitch nervously on top of his hands. "I like being with you, Bauer, you're a great partner and we understand each other well, but... I don't know if I could ever give you a family if that's what you want..."
"We're back to the same thing." He sighs and rocks your body in his arms, very slowly. "That decision isn't mine alone to make either, we're not bringing a baby into the world just because I want to have one, do you understand me?" he shrugs and kisses the top of your head. "For now we have this, and I like what we have, I don't want to be with anyone else, suddenly one day the serum stops having an effect on your system? Well, we'll think about it when the time comes." He assures you and you are suddenly relieved at his words.
"I wouldn't mind having a family with you..." You confess feeling his embrace tighten. "B-besides it's not like we have a lot of birth control now either..." You try to joke and he shakes his head.
"Nope. And don't sell me that shit about oral sex or getting it out before I cum, I like your pussy too much, I'd never get it out in time." he comes clean and you laugh feeling your face burn.
"Why do you always have to spoil romantic moments?" You feel him laugh behind you, he turns you around to look at you and kisses you.
"Because you were getting so nervous, your hands are freezing." He says grabbing both of your hands, it's an immediate reaction, when you feel really nervous, your hands and feet freeze. "I had to warm up the atmosphere a bit." He smiles wiggling his eyebrows.
"Bauer, the food..." You try to sound responsible, but he shushes you with a longer kiss.
"I got what I feel like eating right here." He whispers kissing you again, then your cheek, moving down your jaw towards your neck, you sigh and tilt your head giving him better access.
"L-let me turn off..." You gasp closing your eyes for a moment before breaking your embrace and turning off the gas you're cooking with.
The gas canisters you have are a tremendously scarce commodity, used only for the bare essentials, you don't want to waste it for a quick fuck, not that, not the food. Bauer entangles you in his arms again, this time your kiss is more intense, wilder. He guides you over and sits you on the kitchen table, without separating your lips. His hands move everywhere, roaming over every nook and cranny of your body.
Your clothes quickly end up on the kitchen floor, the heat invades the room, your bodies are wrapped in a thin layer of sweat. Gasps, grunts, groans, moans and curses are heard echoing through the house, the wet sound of your bodies rubbing together is even obscene.
But you both want more.
Tumblr media
That morning you woke up a little dizzy, with a dull head and a churning stomach, you have a strange taste in your mouth, but you don't want to give it importance, the cold is coming and it is possible that your defenses are somewhat low, something that can be combated with some medication and rest, if in the course of the day you do not improve, you will talk to your colleagues.
However, when the leader of your group asks you to take some samples for testing, your world turns upside down. Your stomach compresses and your feet lose stability making you almost fall.
"Watch out!" They help you by grabbing your shoulders. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, yeah, I'm just a little dizzy; my stomach is weird." You tell them trying to let go, but they guide you to one of the gurneys.
"Sit down, we're going to run some tests on you."
"I'm fine, I had a big dinner last night and it's getting cold, I might be a little lazy, I just need to rest..."
"Sounds good to me, but let's rule out everything we can, okay?"
"Okay..." You mumble even though you don't agree.
Your companions examine you, draw your blood for some tests and leave you lying on the gurney while they continue with their work, you feel frustrated because you are fine, you can continue working, it was just a dizzy spell.
"Do you want me to alert Bauer?" Hear Sarah suddenly at your side. "He's your partner, isn't he? Maybe he could have symptoms too."
"I said I'm fine..."
"Yeah, besides what you have, it's not contagious." Says another partner who looks excited. "You're pregnant."
If you weren't lying down, you're sure you would have fallen on your ass at the news. Pregnant? That's impossible, if you haven't even menstruated since you left the bunker. And you doubt very much that Bauer has a magic penis.
"There must be some mistake, I'm still on the serum, I haven't gotten my period back."
"Possibly your egg was fertilized before it detached from your uterus with your first period, according to this you're almost two months along." He looks at you curiously and you continue to be surprised. "Hence your dizziness, nausea and possibly increased appetite... am I wrong?"
"No..." You admit feeling a little embarrassed now.
"I'm going to alert Bauer." You are told by the same coworker who gave you the surprise.
"No, that's not necessary." You say quickly. "They had an important project today, I'm sure he's busy and..."
"Sector ABC 108, do you read me?" you hear your team leader speak over the radio.
"This is Sector ABC108, we read you." They answer on the other end.
"I'm asking for Bauer, is he available? I'm the team lead medic for Sector FGH231."
"Bauer here." You hear his canned voice on the other end of the radio. "Is everything all right, is something giving you trouble?"
"Not exactly, it's your partner, maybe you should come over, we need to talk." He tells him and there is a shrill beep. "Bauer?"
"He's run off, I guess he'll be there in a few minutes." Informs his partner.
"Great, sorry I stole him from you guys."
"No problem, we were just finishing up, I hope it's something good."
"Yes, yes it is." He cuts the transmission and looks at you, you sigh.
It wasn't necessary to tell if, you think, you know Bauer might have freaked out, put himself in the worst situation. On the other hand you're a little worried, you don't know how he's going to react when he finds out, you don't know what to expect, it's true that Bauer has made it clear to you that he would like to have a family with you, but maybe this is too hasty. It's not like you planned it either....
You hear his clumsy footsteps stumble against the front door, he curses through his teeth and you can't help but let out a chuckle. He appears through the door shaking the strands of hair stuck to his face, his eyes travel full speed around the room until he finds you sitting on the gurney, the grimace on his face turns into a confused and worried grimace.
"What's wrong?" He walks quickly over to you and holds your face in his hands. "Are you okay?" He touches your forehead as if to check that you don't have a fever.
"I'm fine, you shouldn't have come in such a hurry..."
"Why are you lying here? You've been so strange for a few days..."
"You've noticed it too..." You laugh softly and he's still confused. "I-I'm pregnant..." You tell him and you see his eyes widen.
"B-but..." He doesn't know how to say it without sounding wrong.
"You didn't give her time." Jokes the doctor in your group. "Do you want us to examine him? Let's check how he's doing?"
Your companions bring in the equipment to give you an ultrasound, Bauer still looks shocked, but you both hold your breath when you see the small lump on the screen.
You feel your eyes fill with tears, Bauer next to you squeezes your hand and kisses you on the cheek at the same time as your colleagues explain that the baby's development is fine, that everything is in order, now you are going to have to take things more calmly, but you are sure you won't be able to stop, you have never been good at being a calm person.
Bauer next to you kisses you again and his hand rests on your belly, caressing it, you look at each other and he rests his forehead against yours.
"I didn't know..."
"Hey, don't even think about apologizing or whatever it is you're doing right now." He stops you. "It's perfect, okay? It's ours, this is our family, and I wouldn't trade it for anything." He assures you and you smile kissing him again. "I love you..."
"I love you, Bauer..."

'23 SKIDOO
Before rattling off a list of my top ten movies for the year, I should offer a disclaimer. As with most years, it's based on incomplete information. There are still quite a few significant movies I haven't yet seen. But here, based on what I've seen and how I'm feeling at this writing, is my Top Ten List for 2023.
Tumblr media
Killers of the Flower Moon--Martin Scorsese's epic yet intimate nightmare about the Osage murders in Oklahoma in the 1920s is a masterpiece; one of his best works and probably the best movie of the year.
Oppenheimer--Half of the midyear smash duo, this chronicle of the atom smasher of White Sands is a dazzling directorial performance by Christopher Nolan, fracturing his narrative yet keeping us focused. Possibly a hair overlong and anticlimactic, it's riveting at its best.
Barbie--The other half of "Barbenheimer." Greta Gerwig's brightly-colored take on the Mattel icon is crazy, imaginative and deeply goofy, yet in its own way no less serious in its ambitions. Margot Robbie is improbably touching in the title role.
Tumblr media
American Fiction--Jeffrey Wright is quietly marvelous as an African-American novelist who so resents being expected to pander to white ideas about the black experience that he does so with a vengeance and becomes a smash. Cord Jefferson's adaptation of the Percival Everett novel Erasure is both rueful and hilarious, often at the same time, and beautifully acted by Sterling K. Brown, Tracee Ellis Ross, Leslie Uggams, Myra Lucretia Taylor, Issa Rae, Miriam Shor and the criminally underutilized Erika Alexander.
Maestro--It's not so much a biopic in the usual sense as a portrait of the marriage of Leonard Bernstein and Felicia Montealegre. Bradley Cooper is luminous as Bernstein, and his reserved directorial style balances Bernstein's grand self-dramatizing manner beautifully. Yet it's Carey Mulligan's Felicia who emerges as the movie's guiding spirit.
Tumblr media
Godzilla Minus One--The Lizard King stands in for postwar despondency in this one-off, one-of-a-kind monster spectacle that's also a surprisingly moving portrait of a nation coming to terms with utter defeat, and gradually starting to rise from its own ruins.
Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret--Judy Blume's classic for adolescent girls was a long time coming to the screen, but under the direction of Kathleen Fremon Craig it struck just the right note; sweet and lighthearted.
Air--Sneakers have become such a cultural touchstone that it's probably inevitable that we'd get an origin story for athletic footwear. Ben Affleck's account of the development of the Air Jordan line and the issues around it is absorbing and amusing.
The Holdovers--Alexander Payne's '70s-period comedy, set at a private school in Massachusetts, is essentially a vehicle for the performances of Paul Giamatti as a splenetic ancient history teacher, Da'Vine Joy Randolph as a bereaved cafeteria manager and Dominic Sessa as the kid they're stuck with for the holidays. But what performances they are.
Tumblr media
Saltburn--After her stunning debut with Promising Young Woman, Emerald Fennel's second feature, a neo-gothic take on class, is by comparison a little overwrought and sour. But it's no less brilliant, and it comes together joltingly at the end.
A few others that I found to be worth my time: The Blackening, A Haunting in Venice, Dumb Money, Jules, Theater Camp, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Thanksgiving, Somewhere in Queens, Cocaine Bear, Renfield, Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, Napoleon and The Boys in the Boat.
A superb 2024 to us all!
