Watched a trio of Season-appropriate movies to carry us through Halloween night:
The Lincoln Project has always been pretty open about their goal being to defeat Trumpism. They view the current GOP as infected by the Rabid Orange Cultists and are trying to burn out the virus.
We lost a true legend and an integral part of movie-making history.
except for the ridiculous Dee Wallace werepomeranian at the end, of course.
In my opinion, worth nothing but the pixels it’s printed with, An American Werewolf in London is a better film, but The Howling has better werewolves.
Watched the recent version of The Invisible Man (which stars Elisabeth Moss and Oliver Jackson-Cohen). It was better than I thought it would be. Director Leigh Whannell does a nice job setting up some genuinely tense moments without resorting to cheap jump scares. And while it was pretty creative to frame it around…
The Amazing Randi proves once and for all that death is, in fact, not a hoax.
Streaming;
I enjoyed The Gentlemen. It is, you mentioned, the peak of Guy Ritichiness. I especially loved the performances by Charlie Hunnam, Colin Farrell and Jeremy Strong. Plus it was great watching Hugh Grant do his best Michael Caine.
I’ve honestly been surprised at how durable the right’s victim mentality has been.
Seriously Eddie Van Halen death as a little blimp, instead of separate post??
Despite being an old Gen Xer, the first time I saw Van Halen was for their “For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge” tour.
The first Van Halen song I ever learned how to play was “Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love”.
Because all we see is the blatant rip off of Judge Death (but with fewer bones and a dumber helmet).
It was a Multimedia Pop Culture weekend for me:
Binge watched Ratched over the weekend and I’m on the fence about it. This could have easily been called “American Hospital Story” as it has all the familiar elements of Ryan Murphy’s horror series. It even stars Murphy cast favorites Sarah Paulson and Finn Wittrock, who are fantastic. But I was far more engaged with…
I thought they did surprisingly well with what they had to work with.
