I am not sure how this film could have been improved. It is, considering the time when it was made, about perfect. Just an awesome film.

My kid wanted to watch A League of Their Own. I’d never seen it before. This must’ve been right when Tom Hanks learned to act. He’s terrible in the first half of the movie poorly portraying a drunk but he’s good in the second half. Overall, it’s fine I guess. Anything with Jon Lovitz has to dig itself out of a hole. He’s terrible.

Cop Land on Netflix.  What a cast.  I remember when this came out and I think I probably watched it.  I had a lot of other things on my mind in 1997 besides movies though.  

I remember watching it and thinking "Holy shit! Stallone can act!"

Tonight we watched Raiders of the Lost Ark. The 11 YO loved it. She only knew Indy from the Disney rides.

A couple of funny things stood out…

Marion “I was a child! What you did was wrong!”

Indy “You knew what you were doing.”

Alright, Pedophile Jones, that was awkward.

I also got a chuckle out of the first fight in Cairo. All the extras that are killed first get up and roll out of the way of the next wave of attackers. Dude, you were impaled straight through with a sword. You shouldn’t be getting up.

I was so proud my daughter recognized the Wilhelm Scream in the truck scene. She instantly said “I heard that before. I didn’t know it was from this movie!” I then had to explain the history of the Wilhelm Scream.

Just came off a transatlantic AA flight. Nothing really grabbed my attention in the new release section but it’s just as well because they had The Fifth Element. That’s always worth a watch. Possibly Gary Oldman's greatest role, and that’s saying a lot .

All the angry fems always bring this up without even knowing her age.  I'm sure Indy didn't force her.  legal is legal.

Started rewatching the Young Indy Chronicles tonight with the family. Didn’t realize they’d re-edited and repackaged them since I first watched. They cut out the "old Indy" framing device entirely and jammed them together into 80 minute episodes. Probably most jarring is that they put them in roughly chronological order so they no longer alternate between child Indy and teenaged Indy

So re the indy/Marian thing: he was a grad student at UChicago, so probably early twenties. She was the daughter of his phd supervisor (Ravenwood) so there’s no telling how old she was. "I was just a child" could be idiomatic or could be literal. Still sketchy, but probably not as much as @CooterBrown suggests.

When Evil Lurks

Holy shit. There were several literal jaw dropping moments for me, and I watch some really fucked up shit.

This flick raised the bar on horror, that's for fucking sure.

Can't say much else without spoiling anything because it is 100% original.

 

I'd never heard of this, so I watched it on your recommendation, as it was included with my AMC+ subscription.

Definitely bizarre.

Home Alone 2

Buzz disgusts me. You could tell even then something was off about him and he'd end up being a real creep. https://globalnews.ca/news/8472729/home-alone-buzz-devin-ratray-arrested/

Out of a perverse sense of curiosity I clicked on that link.

Is that one of the most pathetic things you ever read? A watch party with Buzz and questions after? What could someone actually ask him?

This came through my town over the summer.  I’d seen it several times before but never in a theater and wanted to see the 4k. The whole movie isn’t 4k, about 80-85% is, but the parts that are look gorgeous. Obviously not a movie that’s for everyone. 

Ya think?

Went to see Saltburn tonight. I had zero idea what it would be about or what to expect. That was a wild movie with so much unexpected drama. If you have a free couple of hours and want to see a really cool movie with Rosamund Pike as one of the co-stars go and see this.I always enjoy stuff she is in so that made this even more fun to watch.

Ice Cold in Alex (1958) WWII film about a couple of British soldiers, a couple of British nurses and a South African they meet along the way make it 600 miles across the open desert from Tobruk to Alexandria. Much better than I was expecting.

Pigeon Tunnel about the life of John la Carre. Interesting but boring, if that makes sense.  

Mostly it was about him and his dad who was a conman.  Some of the cinematography was wonderful some of it was over the top.

If you like the books like I do,  it might be worth it.  90ish minutes could've shaved 15 off easily.

Dream Scenario with Nic Cage was really, really good. The last movie I saw of his was just a cash grab, but this was some great acting from Cage. Really was just a fantastic performance. 
 

 

Apparently Cage got himself out of debt with all of those terrible movies of the past 10 years and has moved back into caring about the script.

Afire on Criterion Channel, from Christian Petzold (his movie Phoenix from about 10 years ago is really excellent, for anyone who hasn’t seen it).

A slow burn (no pun intended), with an exceedingly unlikely lead that is so good at being unlikeable it almost ruined the movie for me until the final 20 mins or so.

Shit, I'm not sure I fully understood it now. There are definitely plot holes but I can see how it influenced a future generation of psychological thrillers/horror.

Unbearable Weight was excellent

He had one this year that was unfortunate, The Retirement Plan, but they paid him so he did it. This was the opposite of that.

That was funny. Any actor that can make fun of themselves like he did in that movie is cool by me.
