Considering most of Miike's Osaka youth coming of age films are available on dvd, I suspect there's a copyright issue with distributing Blues Harp. Among the multiple great house band performances throughout at the central bar, I doubt that cover of Tom Waits' New Coat of Paint was ever cleared. 👀

Mikey plus Superman??? Oh wow, it's so obvious and yet I never considered that it would happen. 100% the dopamine I needed!

"The Cavalier Daily corresponded with former Rector Robert Hardie, whose term ended June 30, regarding the two accounts. He confirmed that he agreed with Ryan’s account.

'I concur fully with President Ryan’s recollection of events,' Hardie said."

Welp

Also Gamergate.

You know, when it came out (phrasing) they really tried to downplay that (also phrasing). Like the poster and film cover were quite classy and romantic. Now when I look it up, half the promotional material looks like they're trying to sell Slip and Slides. The film itself is pretty tame if surreal.

Plus, I think Night of the Comet (1984) would bore you, The Witches of Eastwick (1987) might be rejected, and So I Married an Axe Murderer (1993) is probably not as good as I remember it being when I was a kid.

Clearly the only correct answer was Boxing Helena (1993) all along! 😂

For Moonstruck I think I'd honestly pair The Shape of Water (2017) for you. I could be evil and pair Audition (1999) or Habit (1995) but at the risk of an aquatic erotic theme, everyone needs more Guillermo Toro in their life!

I think the easiest programming option would be Local Hero followed by An American Werewolf in London, followed by Moonstruck.

I do have half a mind to pair Local Hero with Warm Water Under a Red Bridge (2001) just for the WTF look I would get next family dinner. There is a logic to it, but also 😈.

Or you could double feature Cat People (1942) and Curse of the Cat People (1944). Together they clock in at just under 2.5 hours. The first is a very creepy but bloodless Noir style horror while the second is psychological fantasy with Gothic shades, closer to Harper Lee meets Katherine Paterson.

Hmmm I have two ideas.

The Asphx (1972) is a personal favorite about photographers trying to capture the spirit of death. It feels like something Mary Shelly and HG Wells would collaborate on. A more serious and less gruesome predecessor to Death Becomes Her.

On the unlikely chance this is popular I'll cut off at 31 requests, also no promises that what I recommend will be readily available or that I'll be super prompt in replying, so maybe try and get them to me by noonish tomorrow if you're actually trying to see something before the weekend. Cheers!

Goddammit Nem! Now I gotta resist the urge to blow all my money!
