Long plane ride to Tokyo..
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny - had decided previously to skip out on seeing it in the theater. I really, really wanted to like this. I didn't. It was marginally less bad than the previous Indiana Jones film.
Touch - picked this as nothing else looked interesting. Film is partially in Icelandic, Japanese, and English. Interesting story and characters, though a slow, wistful romance film isn't typically my jam.

Janet Planet
.. I wanted to like it more, but it just seemed very middling. All beautifully filmed and slow and considered, but just felt like it was the sum of many films I’d seen before. Dunno if this is a recalcitrant middle aged thing, but fuck it’s hard to find a film that hits my sweet spot these days!
Any film tips to get me thru Xmas please share - character driven, no bullshit, good story telling
(i have resisted the urge to use the term ‘old fashioned’)
Try Red Rooms, maybe...but then again I really liked Janet Planet, so fair warning.

I actually liked a movie with Adam Sandler.
Anger Management isn't bad. Not at all actually, I've watched it several times and laughed.
You had me there for a second...

Queer is middlin', meanderin', and the production design is flat, but Daniel Craig's actin' is super and it was nice to watch him receive a handy

You know this is the most unrepentantly closeted director of all time, Baz Luhrmann, right? Moulin Rouge with Lady Marmalade, Romeo and Juliet with the Cardigans. The most HORRIBLE movies ever made, basically.

Lots of Nirvana, Prince, and New Order in Queer. Odd choices.

I feel like the question should be "Which Wim Wenders film should I watch next?"
Lay it on me!
He did road movies in the eighties that are hyped but I felt were ok. Instead I really loved Perfect Days (same sensibility as Paris, Texas).
Also, Salt of the Earth, a documentary about a Brazilian photographer who basically saw the world and then restored a nature reserve was mesmerising.
I can't get enough of Perfect Days. I've watched it three times in three months and would watch it again right now, if I could.

if you're not christian, perverted, or asian this is probably not for you. i must have watched the shorter version 15 years ago because it feels completely fresh.
