    Well, I thought Dogtooth was unwatchable, and may or may not go back to it.

    Lobster was watchable.聽

    And then there is The Killing of a Sacred Deer.聽 Not a good suggestion for family night.聽

    Saw Greta Gerwig's Little Women for family night.聽 This is the first Little Women version that I watched all the way through.聽 Best parts of the evening were exclamations of hey, it's the guy from Matewan.聽 He's been in a thousand things since Matewan, but he'll always be the from Matewan.聽 Aand then聽 someone interjected Better Call Saul when the father showed up.聽 It was entertaining fare--Saorise Ronan (sp) is always good in the movies I've seen, albeit that's Gerwig's prior movie and was it, Brooklyn.聽聽

    Bullitt - Steve McQueen is Mr. Cool in this pic.聽 Amazed that Peter Yates is the director.聽Better chase:聽 Mustang v. Charger or ten speed v. Cinzano Semi?聽 Lovely聽shots of SF and a few nice聽McQueen moments, but I prefer other McQueen movies like The Getaway and his ensemble movies.聽 聽聽

  3. Ill take Sherlock Pub in Sharpstown Mall 2 piece band that played Gloria 10 straight times to close out the night.聽

  4. The Swimmer. Based on John Cheever story and starring Burt Lancaster.聽 Studio very unhappy with result and hired Sydney Pollack to direct some changes and made Lancaster pay for last day of shooting.聽 聽Read the story when I was young and would like to read now at my advanced age, but no longer have the book.聽 I swim everyday聽and so my interest was to see if there was any like-mindedness.聽

    Lancaster picks his route across upper class suburbia聽and swims his way uninvited in聽neighbors pools with mixed reaction.聽 It would be a better movie without the studio additions, but the movie that stuck with me.聽 聽I share very little with the main character, although my ex-wife may find a few resemblances.聽 Burt and I do share the absolute joy of diving in water.聽 聽He in pools and me in the river.聽

    Hell yeah.聽 Made me laugh after my divorce.聽

    BBC's Tinker Tailor and Smiley's People with John Gielgud are excellent.聽 Available on regular youtube.聽

    And Fleabag had best answer for favorite period piece...Carrie.聽

    I watched this based on seeing people praise it here.

    I was....

    Underwhelmed.聽聽聽 I get the politicking and backstabbing to succeed Stalin.聽 But it just fell flat.

    Curious to what your reaction was to Iannucci's other film "In the Loop"聽 聽In the Loop was an instant comedy classic.聽聽聽

  7. Double feature on TCM:

    Dodsworth:聽 Have you thought how little happiness there can be for the old wife of a young husband?聽 Kurt! Your mother's leaving.

    Philadelphia Society:聽聽

    What most wives fail to realize is that their husbands philandering has nothing whatever to do with them.
    Then what has it to do with?
    A reluctance to grow old, I think.聽

    This was pretty good.聽 Marilyn Monroe and her sidepiece plot to kill Marilyn's crazy husband but it goes all wrong.聽 I think this is the most I've ever liked Marilyn's acting.聽 Jean Peters was really good too.聽 There were lots of beautiful shots of the falls.聽 I'm not sure why the trailer is black and white but the movie was color.

    And when I heard that voice, I immediately thought of 16 Candles.聽

  9. Saw Badlands over the weekend.聽 Surprised to see that it was ranked as #4 on Guardian's List of Best Crime Films.聽 聽Seen most of these and not a bad list.聽

  10. Simple process in watching an old or foreign movie, if you like it, then follow the director, star or something inspiring from the film.聽 Watching Blazing Saddles gets you Treasure of聽the Sierra Madre聽or gets you Blue Collar.聽 And from there you check out other John Huston, Bogart or Walter Huston movies or you get Richard Pryor, Harvey Keitel and the great Yaphet聽Kotto in a Paul Schrader film.聽 Blazing Saddles also takes you in a straight line to Brooks and Wilder films.聽

    I found that arc confusing at first as well, but it becomes clear that Jimmy is quite traumatized and scared over recent events.聽 It affected his ability to work on other cases.

    Jimmy needed a quick resolution in court, so he could meet with Mike without Kim knowing or suspecting. Perhaps he was out of continuances for that case.
