Trying not to be off-putting, but I’m only human Letterboxd:
#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #Filmsky 📽️ Watched some good shit this week. - BEVERLY HILLS COP is a reminder of how charming Eddie Murphy used to be - THE ODYSSEY is quite good, but didn’t hit me emotionally enough to be great - SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD is top tier sad spy shit
#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #Filmsky 📽️ - Chow Yun-Fat looked cool as hell in the opening act of A BETTER TOMORROW, but the melodrama didn’t click for me. - M:I-2 ‘s greatest legacy was breaking from the M:I formula, thus freeing the rest of the series from being anything remotely realistic
I laughed when I saw the drawing Killer in the Code says is a “smoking gun.” I was expecting something garish and disturbing. Instead, it was…this, which doesn’t look at all like the Black Dahlia and I don’t think those marks are wounds.
#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #filmsky 📽️ Two very different animated movies and two very different big-budget movies.
#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #Filmsky 📽️ - A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN is still so good - LE CERCLE ROUGE has Alain Delon being just the coolest motherfucker that ever lived - THE MUMMY (1959) is pro-killing colonizers, so this is almost a hero-Mummy, I guess?
It’s worth noting that this is not the proposed New College of FL statue. That one had Charlie Kirk sitting at a table with a hand outstretched, palm up. That one, people plan to put shit in the palm. This one is sitting on a bench, and people want to piss on it. Totally different.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003). Absolutely brutal in its dumbness and ineptitude. And I had recently watched and loved the original, so that was an additional blow. Any time I see a horror movie touting any connection to this film (from the people who brought you…), it’s a hard no from me.
#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #Filmsky 📽️ - WHEELS ON MEALS is unforgettable thanks to the amazing castle battle & the Chan/Urquidez fight - DEAD OR ALIVE is unforgettable because the first and last scenes are fucking nuts - COOL HAND LUKE is unforgettable because Newman is so damn charming
#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #Filmsky 📽️ Guess which two movies I watched on my own, without my family?
The Bulls are uncomfortably close to the relegation/draft-penalty tier according to these projections. If Billy Donovan was still the coach, I’d say that they would win +4 over the projection, but this feels pretty accurate right now.
#LetterboxdFriday #filmsky 📽️ #LastFourWatched I talked to a woman at a bar this week, and she said she hated BEST IN SHOW because she was a dog breeder; she also said that the film “wasn’t wrong.” Amazing stuff, like when Aerosmith hated SPINAL TAP because they thought it was directly mocking them
#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #Filmsky 📽️ A much better viewing week! - FLETCH is the only movie Chevy Chase improves - AGUIRRE had me rooting for Death like a Final Destination sequel - APOCALYPSE NOW theatrical cut is SO MUCH TIGHTER than REDUX. Happy to finally see this cut.
Oof. It hurts how much improvement it would take for Patrick Williams to be worth his contract
#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #Filmsky 📽️ - TO BE OR NOT TO BE is technically impressive and the script is ballsy, but I thought most of the jokes were obvious. Maybe I just don’t like Jack Benny? - FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT might not be S-tier Hitchcock, but it’s not far off
Probably should have ahifted players down a position, rathwr than moving MJ & JJJ up one
#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #Filmsky📽️ - the framing device in PRINCESS BRIDE is inspired. Such an improvement over the novel’s framing device. Goldman was truly one of the greats at adapting his own work. - GOAT is a mess that wasn’t sure what lesson to teach, so it tries them all a little
#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #Filmsky 📽️ - EEPHUS is the sports movie that cares least about how good its players are - SHEEP DETECTIVES was cute! It got a lot out of a silly premise - PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN is bizarre. A tale of vengeance where becoming a victim is victory?
#Filmsky 📽️ #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday - I was really expecting HAMNET to wreck my shit, but instead it was just…pretty good? The play at the end hit me so much harder than any of the grief scenes - IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT I was meh on the rest, but damn the last scene is truly excellent.
#LetterboxdFriday #Filmsky 📽️ #LastFourWatched - PLAYDATE is dumb, but Reacher can be funny - LOVE AFFAIR is extremely charming (on the boat) - GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY is fun, but should be better given the cast - SWAN PRINCESS good lord, 90s kids had it rough between Disney movies
I have to imagine that the MIN and CLE GMs would want to stick around those situations, unless the Bulls choose to overpay. Of the other named candidates, Austin Brown seems most likely to me — if only because the Reinsdorfs have already scouted him and they love lazy choices.
The implication here, of course, is that the Reinsdorfs did not feel confident in the AKME front office, which makes the secret extension given to the pair even funnier in retrospect. The Reinsdorfs expect loyalty and butts in seats; competence on the court is far down the list.
If noir is up your alley, GUN CRAZY is an overlooked gem. It definitely starts like a B-movie, but has one of the beat femme fatales ever to do it.
#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #Filmsky 📽️ - MATERIALISTS is very much an experiment in how long you can stand watching incredibly obnoxious characters - ELIO was definitely not Pixar’s best, but the themes hit home in the end - MICKEY 17 should not feel relevant to my actual life, but it does
