Look I’m not into the idea of just rebooting everything from the 80s and 90s but you can’t tell me this Three Men and a Baby wouldn’t be incredible.

The Movie Grid is so much fun. I struggled so much with the sports ones but this has been a blast.

My parents are in town and they brought me a crate of all my old tapes from when I was a kid. I didn’t realize how hard the Monsters Inc. clamshell went. This thing is a beauty.

Since becoming a dad at the end of last year, I feel like I’ve found a much deeper appreciation for good Movie Dads. And man, 2023 has been a GREAT year for Movie Dads.

I need someone to explain to me how Harrison Ford didn’t get a nomination for Shrinking. I cannot fathom voting on this last year of television and his performance not being one of the first things that comes to mind.

Trying to save what little life the VCR in my combo TV has left so I finally tracked down another player in good condition that I don’t mind wearing out (and tinkering with learning repairs). Had to add a little shelf but I’m digging my new VHS desk setup so far.

The greatest modern blockbuster turns 20 today. Two decades and no summer tentpole has been able to top what Gore Verbinski did with his crew of miscreants on the Black Pearl.

Before last month I’d never seen Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. It was the only one in the franchise I’d missed.
Now I’ve watched it 3 times in 10 days. To say I’ve found a new comfort movie is an understatement. Maybe it’s because I’m a new dad but this film brings me so much joy.

If the character of Indiana is retiring with Harrison, can we turn back the clock and spend some time with a young Henry Sr.? One movie wasn’t nearly enough.

The 4th of July is a holiday just for movie marathons. Stop shooting off fireworks and just project Days of Thunder into the sky.

Finished my Indy rewatch and have discovered that even at 17 I was correct about Crystal Skull the first time around. People been telling lies about this movie for years.
It’s good, just like every other Indiana Jones movie.

The film is far from perfect but goddamn if Temple of Doom doesn’t have some of the wildest production design I’ve ever seen.
