Today he’d be a moderate

End of Baby Driver was so bad. Had a decent thing going to.

Watched Rear Window for the first time. Pretty good.

The last 20 or 30 minutes were the most suspenseful thing I've ever watched.

Rear Window is on my top 10 films of all time list.

You know what won't ever be on my top 10 list? The netflix movie Bright. It might have made an interesting series if the alternative history was pieced together, etc, but it missed the mark completely as a movie. 3.5 out of 10.

Hitchcock is my fav. director ever & James Stewart might be my fav. actor of all-time. They remade Rear Window w/ Christopher Reeve in the late 90's. I will never watch it

It should have been set one or two hundred years later in Seattle's Redmond Barrens, and been called Shadowrun.

Finally saw Big Sick. Enjoyed it a lot.

Speaking of which, sort of. Here's the quote from the cover of the of the NYT Sunday Magazine.

Jordan Peele’s X-Ray Vision
“Get Out,” his docu-horror-thriller-comedy about race in America, was the movie of the year. What will he show us next?

I liked Get Out. I like Jordan Peele. including other stuff even more so. I thought the film was competently made, and often very entertaining with a nice bit of social context thrown in. All of which I would say about Big Sick, though I thought the acting was better in Sick (though it's not really a fair comparison since Get Out had to stick to broad genre conventions) , had a little more flair and was more entertaining (to me) though that's completely subjective. But I also thought Big Sick was a nice little film. I'm not sure why all the buzz for Get Out which I'd put on the same plane.

How did I not know of this before? Thanks to M*A*S*H, I now know of the existence of "The Terror of Tiny Town", a 1938 flick which has come to be known as "the world's only musical Western with an all-midget cast." It's now on my must-watch list!!



WHOA! And the whole flick is on Ewe Toob!

That wasn't what I meant by a "nice little film," Bucky.

I watched Rear Window based on this thread and had two martinis based on my penchant for alcohol. I was not disappointed with either.

that's nice but how was the movie

Watched I Am Sam Kinison... very well done doc and terribly sad

Bad Moms was very funny. Heard the sequel is trash tho

DJ Khaled feat Pitch Perfect 3 was really bad

I thought the House was a very funny specimen of the star-driven, divorced-from-reality Hollywood farce genre. also a neat 90 minutes without the plodding third act that so many of those movies have. surprised it seems so widely despised

Really enjoyed Lady Bird.

Finally watched John Wick 2... was fun violence

1990 was a bad year for sequels.
