Whatcha watching?

Perusing YouTube.
Not sure if this has been posted before, but if it has, it deserves a repeat. Both Karen and Richard could really play.

Watched Trap, the newest M. Night Shyamalan movie. Wow. One of the worst movies I've seen in years. It takes a completely implausible concept and shoots the plot full of holes at every turn. Bad acting, bad writing, bad everything. How does this guy keep getting to make movies?

That's the twist, you'll never see coming...

"Murdoch Mysteries" from Acorn TV.

The Substance. Pretty good. Too long. Fun body horror. I would’ve liked more explanation of the substance and where it comes from, but that’s not the point of the movie.

Absolution. I thought it was just another Liam Neesan action movie but this one has a plot. Very good movie. Very good performances. Bad dialogue. Could’ve been great with a better writer. It’s worth seeing.

I loved The Substance. One of the most audacious movies I've seen in quite awhile. I agree, it could have been about 20 mins. shorter, but it didn't bother me much.

About two thirds of the way through I started fast forwarding 10 seconds at a time here and there for a long zoom shot that doesn't add anything. They clearly had a very specific visual style for the movie and it was executed well, but after a while it's just tedious.

I didn't mind the length, I loved that it just kept ratcheting up and up and up. The sound design was spectacular.

I watched Saquon Barkley catch a pass, break a tackle, make a guy miss with a wicked spin move, then jump BACKWARDS over another guy and gain an extra 5 yards.

That was so badass!

In a whimsical dose of nostalgia, we watched this over the weekend; Still goofy, but fun:

Then, we did the math and realized this movie is 37 years old!

You're welcome!

Whatcha watching?​

The demise of humanity as we know it.

Another classic.

That movie delivers every time! It is so perfectly '80s. And you could not have described it better - it is "a whimsical dose of nostalgia," and "goofy, but fun."

The older I get, the more I'd rather watch horror movies like this than the deeper, darker, more disturbing kind. The real world is deep, dark and disturbing enough!

The 4K transfer is quite nice too...

Saw Anora this afternoon. It won the Palme D’or at Cannes this year, but it didn’t work for me at all. It was about 45 mins too long, and unless you love excruciatingly long scenes of people yelling at each other in Russian, I’d recommend avoiding it.

Well...
Lately? On the Roku channel, I'm streaming Ancient Aliens while I do my morning ablutions; make the bed; and get ready to face the day. Sometimes, I'll alternate it with Unexplained Mysteries (?) - anyway, the one with William Shatner. He cracks me up; even more than the other show's mantra: " Ancient alien experts say - YES!" They seem to say "yes" to just about everything... except "Are you just making this stuff up?"
I found King of Tulsa on the Peacock channel a couple of weeks ago; I'm having a hard time getting into it, though...
Other than that? Mostly old Sci-Fy movies from my... large... DVD collection; I have a lot of them in there. Recent ones? Colossus: The Forbin Project, last night. Watched the alien vampire movie Life Force, as well. Watched all three of the Dr. Quatermass movies last month. And, the BBC 6-part TV version of Quatermass and the Pit, also. And, of course, the original The Andromeda Strain, and The Satan Bug, too. Honestly; I don't watch a lot of TV. And, you couldn't get me to go to a movie theater, these day, either. Living alone in a 91-year old house means there's a lot of other things that really need my time more than watching stuff. But, I watch my movies when I can...

Loved that one.

I remember as a little kid, my walk home from school went past the local cinema, and I had a sudden awareness of all the slasher movies coming out - the poster for "Happy Birthday To Me" really stuck in my mind, along with this one (and "April Fool's Day" turned out to be something a little different - an early example of appearing to adhere to the rules, whilst bending them quite a bit, as Wes Craven would later exploit).
