I thought Noah Segan being in the same pose was a purposeful reference to Hot Fuzz when I saw it!

this movie was great but it honestly felt less like a whodunit and more of just a mystery reveal plot. in the other movies there was the possibility of working out who the killer was for sure if you caught the details. but this movie had no firm evidence in anyones case and theres no way you could have known for sure who the murderer was, even if your guess was correct

I’m so drawn to this movie mainly because of the kind and non-preachy aspect of religion. Watched it 3 times already. Father Jud’s character was amazing and Josh embodied him brilliantly

Absolutely loved every time someone would call Jeremy Renner’s character “pathetic” or something and it would cut to him making awful little faces. It cracked me up every time

Backstage at Zara Larsson’s Viral Lollapalooza Show | Soundcheck | Vogue

LAVISHLY DEMURE

An exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how Zara Larsson prepares for her viral Lollapalooza performance. As the Swedish pop star gets ready for one of her biggest gigs yet, a show-stopping concert at Chicago’s iconic Lollapalooza music festival, she gives us an intimate look at her day. We begin eight hours before showtime in Zara’s hotel room, where she does vocal warm-ups, eats breakfast, and reminisces about the last time she played Lollapalooza, ten years ago. Once she arrives at the festival grounds, Zara gets into glam, drawing inspiration from a colorful, sea-dwelling crawfish. After spending time in hair and makeup, she heads backstage for a few final rehearsals with her dancers before taking the stage.
