I don’t typically watch trailers but I don’t know if I’ll be able to resist for Superman. I’m getting more excited for it than I have for a movie in a pretty long time

First time watch tonight, Interview with the Vampire (1994). I like how this emphasized the sadness and loneliness of vampirism. Kirsten Dunst gave probably the best performance, she was fantastic.

Organizing by genre is so annoying which is why I must do it. It’s a challenge I must overcome. Even if my arrangement is fairly arbitrary and only makes sense to me

Trying to organize my movies by genre because I like overcomplicating things. Should Gremlins go in the Christmas section?

Yeah it’s going there

Watched Bad Santa 2 tonight since I couldn’t remember much about it from my first viewing. And I see why lol, it’s unnecessary and not very memorable. A few good laughs and it certainly could have been worse but it just doesn’t compare to the first one

I watched Bad Santa (2003) twice today. First the unrated cut that I’ve seen many times, then decided to check out the directors cut for the first time. It will also be the last time lol. The directors cut is far worse, plenty of good jokes are cut out and the darker tone doesn’t work as well

I love how my landlords always choose the days that I’m spending the most time at home to do something that knocks the internet out… I also love how they never give me any warning whatsoever when they so easily could…

First time watch tonight: Miracle on 34th Street (1947). Not exactly what I thought it would be like, charming little Christmas film.

I watched The Skeleton Key (2005) last night and I’m pretty mixed on it. Good performances and a nice setting with some pretty decent ideas. But outside of the mystery it’s not that engaging on a moment to moment basis because the actual horror elements are pretty lame. Kind of standard 2000s horror

First time watch tonight, L.A. Confidential (1997). Really enjoyed it! Plot gets a little convoluted after a while but it has a great cast and solid dialogue & characters

Last film in my little Hitchcock marathon for now, North By Northwest (1959). I really liked it. Great classic mistaken identity story, maybe a bit too long but I can clearly see the influence this had on many future thrillers

My last purchase from this years Black Friday sales has arrived. One of the most obvious satires I’ve ever seen that some people apparently don’t know is a satire!

I don’t know how everyone keeps up with all this awards season stuff lol. I’ll pay some attention to the Oscar’s but that’s about all I have in me

Man as soon as it’s not ass numbingly cold anymore, it’s raining. Could be worse, could be cold and rainy, but I was kind of looking forward to some halfway decent weather

A couple new Blu-ray’s added to the collection today. One befitting the season and the other… not so much lol

Only seen TWBB once and looking forward to revisiting it. And Bad Santa will definitely be a watch this month as it often is in December for me

Just watched The Birds (1963) for the first time. Honestly I wasn’t looking forward to it as much as some of Hitchcocks other films because it’s lacking the psychological thriller aspect that I usually enjoy from him. And unfortunately I ended up not being a fan of this one
December 8, 2024 at 2:26 AM
I was trying to sell off some of my Blu-ray’s only to realize that a tv show I bought earlier this year is a bootleg copy. Just never examined it closely till now. Well that sucks but lesson learned I suppose. Enjoy my money random eBay guy, you’re welcome for me not paying attention lol

Second Hitchcock film of the day with Rear Window (1954). The memes are completely true and that made it quite funny at times.

“Ugh I have so many problems! Grace Kelly loves me and wants to sleep with me but she’s too hot and rich for me!” Hahaha

But seriously, overall thought it was decent

Next on my Hitchcock journey was Vertigo (1958). Honestly this one was disappointing. I found it far too long without much of an engaging hook to the story. It took too long to start doling out any real answers so I struggled to get invested. I also felt the character Midge was rather pointless
December 6, 2024 at 9:36 PM
Foolishly I’ve only seen one Alfred Hitchcock film until now (and you can probably guess which one)

That’s changing as I now begin going through more of his filmography and I will be sharing my thoughts as I go. First up tonight was Rope from 1948

So are you telling me when I click on a post on here, the replies are actual human beings saying things that are relevant to the original post?
