Here’s today’s business:

In Florida, police shoveled off a crocodile out of a homeowner’s swimming pool. In a press conference, the crocodile explained, “Given the current housing market, ownership of a body of water as mere addendum to one’s living quarters felt excessive! I, too, partake the ecosystem and felt justified indulging in its spoils … FREE LUIGI!” (USA Today)

A picture of Donald Trump’s mugshot hangs amongst past presidents’ portraits in the White House. The president’s aides say this defiance is his reason to get up in the morning—besides the previous night’s KFC buckets. (People)

Anora (2024)

Anora’s about a 23-year-old U.S. sex worker who meets and marries a rich 21-year-old Russian. The energy throughout is Uncut Gems-like; if you’ve never seen the atypical Adam Sandler movie, imagine snorting Red Bull.

Chaos works here mainly because it creates genuine unpredictability. You rarely feel the “formula” like one would in most modern comedies (m-o-d-e-r-n’s shorthand for J-u-d-d A-p-a-t-o-w).

The interplay between Mikey Madison’s Anora and the third main character (revealing who’s a potential spoiler) counterbalances the comedy with humanity—without becoming a Women’s Studies dissertation.

The movie’s unpredictable until the very end, making those 2 hours whizz by like premature ejaculation without the disappointment.
