I've seen it at least 5 times through and it never gets old.
28 Years Later. Loved the original, but this didn’t work for me at all. Started strong, but morphed into a totally different movie around the halfway point.
It's REALLY UK-centric. I loved it, but it has a lot under and not-so-under the surface relating to Brexit and Jimmy Saville. I'm really looking forward to the Bone Temple to see where they take it.
I want to see this one, but I'm not a Paul Thomas Anderson fan except for Boogie Nights. The reviews are generally good, but I've also heard that it's hard to understand and too long. Maybe I'll wait till streaming.
A couple nights ago:
Tonight:
It's a shame that Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon weren't there for The Bourne Legacy as I felt that movie was a bit of a hot mess, IMHO. Jason Bourne recreated the connectedness/correctedness of the first three films. Jeremy Renner was fine (he was not one of the problems with Legacy
) , and I am glad he wasn't cast as a replacement for Damon as Jason, but someone different.
This series of movies was truly excellent (The Bourne Legacy, aside). I hope there is more to come.

Finally knocked over Alien Earth. Some of the child impersonation seemed a bit by the numbers. No wuckers. Never been a better time to examine the power of tech corporations to redefine the social contract to their own advantage. But mostly, Alien was a breathtaking imagination of an alien lifeform and first contact with it. They can invoke it all they want. But they'll never come close to matching it from within the confines of the franchise.even when they pump up the sentience beyond the need to feed while simultaneously making the adult form more quadruped. Nice try though.
I've developed a habit of fast forwarding through what looks like the unnecessary or boring parts of movies I've never seen before.
Last night it was The Green Inferno. Very tonally confused movie about tribal cannibalism. Made me a chuckle a couple of times. I'm not sure if that was the intent.

I went to this the other night.
Cleese is 85; the title of the tour started with "Not Dead Yet."
It''s the 50th aniiversary of the release. He did about a 10-minute intro, then an hour of comments and Q&A afterwards. He's still sharp and funny, the show was really enjoyable. He was also straightforward, confessing that while he thinks the first 70 minutes is pretty great, he doesn't like the last 10 at all (few laughs). He also paid tribute to Graham Chapman, who he co-wrote Python bits with--he showed part of his eulogy at Graham's funeral, as well as a bit the remaining five did at a late '90s comedy festival that included Graham's ashes. If you're a big Python nerd like me, definitely catch this tour.

It was "inspired" by (or heavily ripped off from, whichever you prefer) Cannibal Holocaust, one of the most controversial movies of all time. I don't recommend watching that one, mainly due to its real on-screen animal killings.
Actually last afternoon, but no TV since. A classic episode with a very young Bruce Dern. I dig him. He always plays extreme characters .
Of course, he's not playing anywhere near Oklahoma. *sigh*I went to this the other night.
