On the whole, it's a good #LetterboxdFriday with a varied #LastFourWatched. The only through line I could suss out of this grouping is that each of the film's main characters *really* want something.
Then I realized that describes *every* movie.

Bill Maher is quitting standup due to "political violence from both sides" and definitely not because of "being a really shitty standup"

Just saw my first Christmas tree of the year up in a neighbour’s house.
I assume these are the same people who stand up first the moment a plane lands —adrenaline junkies, the lot of them.

I may not love Honey Don't as much as I want to, but I would happily watch any number of its sequels. #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday #FilmSky #MovieSky

Ethan and Joel Coen earned lifetime passes for making the greatest run of great films ever. I welcome a reunion, but if they want to keep working separately - one on lesbian noir comedies and the other on gloomy Shakespeare plays - I accept it. Save your venom for Michael Bay. #filmsky #moviesky

The day after Halloween is when you start plowing through the candy. In that vein, it's been a #LastFourWatched of pure cinematic junk food for me.
My next #LetterboxdFriday might be nothing but Criterion titles, but don't count on it. #FilmSky #MovieSky

Just one stale sour patch in this #LastFourWatched for #LetterboxdFriday. If you're interested in the full-sized candy bars instead, I suggest seeing the new Frankenstein in a theatre. *Everything* about it deserves the big screen treatment.

Lots of murder going on in this week's #LastFourWatched. Sometimes you have to wait for it, but it feels like #LetterboxdFriday murders are inevitable.
Then, before you know it, it's #HideTheBodySaturday.

One of my controversial movie takes is that De Palma's Scarface (1983) is a terrible joke played on everyone who ever wasted time watching it. Pacino's performance is a cartoon with a bad accent. We're supposed to believe *Robert Loggia* is *scared* of this guy?

Administrators at Indiana University baselessly fired the student media director and ordered the student paper to cease its print edition, so it'd sure be a shame if this excellent digital front page were to be widely shared today
