I was waiting for a baseball game to start and needed to kill some time and watched The Goonies. My takeaway is that I learned Anne Ramsey was only 55 when she filmed her role as Mama Fratelli.

Went into The Lighthouse blind last night. I'm sure I'm the last FM to see it. It was really good and a masterful use of the slow burn and unreliable narrative / perspective.

Once again, in the “no one else here watched or will admit to watching” category:

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

This movie is a hot fucking mess.

I kinda liked it and want to watch it again, though was 30 minutes too long. Best Marvel film in a long time. Good soundtrack.

I just borrowed The Witch from the library and it's the first movie by that guy that I've seen, so fear not.

Best peta campaign in a long time.
Pretty good movie. (And I remember the old prf pronounced volume 1 the greatest movie ever.)
It works on pretty much whatever level you choose. There’s always an extra 30 minutes for the people who have to watch every post credits scene and YouTube Easter egg video.

Dungeons & Dragons.

It was actually really good dumb fun

Haven’t been in the habit of watching many “proper films” at all these past few months, but am excited about this: a new Aki Kaurismaki joint, Fallen Leaves, premiering at Cannes soon. He’d suggested he was retired a while back.

This was good. HEAVY on 80s nostalgia. Great soundtrack.

Despite already knowing how it ends, was still tense and then uplifting.

Yeah, that was really good.

My wife and I just watched Nicole Holofcener’s You Hurt My Feelings. We both really liked it!

Watched Tender Mercies last night - one of those I had never got around to. Lovely film, and so well performed.
