August proved to be an odd month, moviewise: I started the month exhausted after San Diego Comic-Con and ended it planning for (and then attending!) PAX West, and in between, it was more rewatching — or a lot of television, this past month — than that many new movies this time around.
Of note: I rewatched Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame because I was curious how they’d play out years later, and… ehhhh? Infinity War starts far stronger than I remember, but its back half lags so badly, while Endgame is just a slog from start to finish. (And has genuinely terrible pacing issues.) Meanwhile, The Last Showgirl was absolutely fucking beautiful and made me cry, Netflix’s DEVO documentary was enjoyable if weirdly purposefully limited, and, I have to admit, I really did enjoy The Babysitter and its sequel more than I should confess.
Nonetheless, here’s what I watched this last month!
