It was meant for 14 year old boys in the 1990’s! We all wanted to see Jesse from saved by the bell naked! It was unheard of a celeb like her to do nudity! Unlike todays crop of celebs who make a living out of it!

The Third Man (1949)
Superb as ever...

Last night my friend and I watched American Gigolo.
I liked it. It’s kind of a “neo-noir” in a sense, and I loved seeing LA in the early 80s.

I don’t think that dialogue and plot were the reasons why 16yo me watched it.
I don’t think that people appreciate how rare, and special, nudity was back then, until fast internet became a thing. While now even a google search for “light bulb” will probably return some form of nudity if not pornography, at the time we had to look
for it, and sometimes even feel ashamed of it. It was truly something special, even in a non sexual context.
To this point, this incredible scene from Bananas which now doesn’t make any sense:
Exactly! Life was hard back then! Perverts today have got it easy!! 😂
The Color Out of Space
An excellent Lovecraftian adaption, well produced by all concerned...

Going to stream it. I never would picture Ryan Gosling as Ken. Does Barbie question her existence as a toy or something else? At least in Toy Story was no doubt they were toys. When you make it live action with actors, are there giant real people about? Were is this setting a magical Toy World?
He actually does a pretty good job at it. Amazing actor.
Somewhat. There are moments when she questions herself living in Barbieland as a toy. One of the endings is about being toy or human, and its resolution doesn’t make any sense in light of what the rest of the movie is about.
There’s no question in the movie that she’s Barbie, the toy.
Jaws (1975)- Great adventure! I like the changes they made to the movie.
The Princess Bride (1987)- I love this movie, great story although much of it is tongue in cheek, there is comedy and touching moments, and I’m not a sword fighting enthusiast, but there is a sword fight that impressed me. They must have practiced for weeks to choreograph this.
No affair, Hooper lives, and shark blows up via O2 bottle.

We went to see Oppenheimer in one of the local theatres.
Unfortunately the base sound was overwhelming, making hearing the dialog difficult at times.
We will have to stream it when it becomes available, probably with subtitles.
Otherwise it was an interesting film.

How was it in comparison to the last MI? I found the last one quite boring and overly focussed on the "family" theme and it didn't work for me. MI III also played at that angle but did it better I reckon. In fact I'd rate the last MI movie the worst in the entire line-up. Yep, even worse than the utterly ridiculous #2! I have a very soft spot for John Wu and could watch that movie all day with the sound turned down. So at least it's interesting in that aspect, unlike the last MI... for me.
I liked MI : Fallout a lot so I might not be on the same wavelength, however I found MI : Dead Reckoning much better. Better characters, more dynamic plot, enough personal drama that is very well tied to the rest, and crazy action scenes. Even the ending is somewhat satisfying for a “part 1” movie.
This weekend we spent Friday night watching one of my all time favourites.
No Country for Old Men
I have lost count how many times I have watched this film… and every time I am astonished by this desolate, bleak story told with perfect deadpan humour.
Magnificent.
Saturday and Sunday nights we re-watched
Jean de Florette and Manon de Sources.
A simple enough tale, beautifully told, superbly acted and filmed to make full use of the Provençal countryside.
I wish Verdi or Puccini — better still Mascagni — had been around to turn it in to an opera (or two).

Agree.
I remember reading the book after watching the film at its original release and being put off by the affair… probably because the actors were so much older than me (11yo) 🤣 and the thought of Ellen Brody squirming about on a wet patch on the diner's bench made me want to barf. (As you can tell, that passage has scarred me for life!)
A big reason we have stopped going to cinemas: The sound is godawful. Far too loud, ear drum bursting bass and as you pointed out, usually to the detriment of the actual dialogue…
*sigh*
I love this film. Sugar is the scariest villain ever!This weekend we spent Friday night watching one of my all time favourites.

have you read the novel? The film follows the novel almost to a "T".
Really awesome indeed. If you haven’t seen Mandy (from the excellent director Panos Cosmatos) I think you would like it.
Past week I started watching Skinamarink. I left it after 30-45 minutes, because I felt a bit bored and also didn’t know how to approach what I was watching. The atmosphere can be terrifying if you’re in the mood. I guess I wasn’t in the mood, but I’ll give it another chance.
