Writing about things I read and watch because somebody, somewhere might care. Knows entirely too much about the history of Winnipeg movie houses. I follow whatever and whoever interests me.
NOW PLAYING: Thunderbolts (2025) Yeah, yeah, I know. But I just finished reading the original Busiek run, and this looks like a take on DC’s SUICIDE SQUAD, so I figured what the hell.
The 1960 series HONG KONG used a lot of Asian actors, unusual for the time. I knew if I waited long enough, James Hong would make an appearance. He was in everything!
NOW PLAYING: Pink Flamingos (1972). I’ve never seen it… …but I know how it ends.
Watching RIPTIDE, an 80s detective series that was basically the Three Investigators all grown up except their office is a boat instead of an RV, and instead of Jupiter Jones they have Perry King. Also they have a robot and a helicopter.
NOW PLAYING: The Death of Superman (2018). Spoiler: he hits an iceberg and sinks!
NOW PLAYING: Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay (2018) Might as well get back to the DCAU (or whatever this universe is called). I’m a big fan of the Ostrander Squad, maybe this will be more that.
NOW PLAYING: While the City Sleeps (1956) This was on my watchlist even before I knew it had Vincent Price and Howard Duff.
#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched The only interesting thing about this batch is that they were all first-time watches.
Without downloading any new pics, what’s it like being in a relationship with you:
That’s certainly a novel interpretation of the source material. *whispers* Oh. Never mind.
NOW PLAYING: Brubaker (1980) From the “August 27, 1980” bucket list.
NOW PLAYING: The Hound of the Baskervilles (1959). Hammer does Holmes. No idea what to expect.
Remember when TV made an effort to give a realistic portrayal of computer programming? Me neither.
NOW PLAYING: Watership Down (1978). Family Movie Night will never be the same.
NOW PLAYING: Skidoo (1968). Family Movie Night will never be the same.
“You know, Wilma’s pretty hot in this episode,” I say before realizing the room has gone quiet and everyone is looking at me and oh shit I said that out loud didn’t I…
We don’t usually see each other‘s headers. Here’s mine. (Quote post with yours, if you want to and if I’m not so late you haven’t already…)
