Really good #LastFourFriday. Yes yes I like Westerns now, you got me. Also one excellent new release, a Canadian classic (watched with @smichele.bsky.social, her first Maddin, fun!) and an obscure French political romance thriller with two great actors. 📽️

Repost with an iconic fictional band. 🎸🥁🎸🎶
Josie and the Pussycats (movie version) is the easy correct answer, but I haven’t seen them live in a little high school gym on Nantucket, so…

Sleepy tonight but #LastFourWatched calls! Two shorts, two full length movies. I don’t spend enough time with the Criterion Channel’s shorts and I’m always glad when I do explore them. 📽️

Share an awesome 70s movie!
Just watched this and it blew me away; I was expecting rough around the edges Altman and I got this amazing slice of dark American satire.

Hey, let's do #LastFourWatched! I wrapped up #Hooptober, of course, not on a terribly high note (two bad movies by good directors, sigh) but Phase IV made up for it as an unexpected joy. 📽️

NW: Phase IV, Saul Bass’ only directorial effort. Our final movie of #Hooptober. I’ve been idly curious about this for years. 📽️

For #LastFourFriday this week, I am still deep in October horror viewing. My spot of relief was a Fassbinder, chosen as a counterpart to Suspiria, which was a good choice. Oh, and I have now watched all of Lynch's feature movies. 📽️

Better late #LastFourFriday than never! Back into the swing of #Hooptober plus one Ingmar Bergman because without variety what are you? This weekend's variety may be Pusher since I picked up the boxed set in Dublin; I'm not sure that qualifies as a break from horror but it'll make me happy. 📽️

While I’m thinking about Letterboxd thangs, I’m amused by my most seen actors of the year. Not sure I’ve ever had a year with this much cinematic masculine energy in it.

Sitting on a plane returning to Seattle: time for #LastFourWatched! Had a break from #Hooptober since I’m doing that with @smichele.bsky.social, so I took the opportunity to catch up on some new releases and visit the very cool Lighthouse Cinema in Dublin. Jet lag ruined my Kogonada plans, alas. 📽️

Off to Dublin but let's do #LastFourWatched before I get on a plane. Heavy on the #Hooptober again; this week will be a break from horror with whatever I watch on the plane and probably a visit or two to the IFI. 📽️

Oh yeah let’s do #LastFourFriday! Kind of a haphazard week but that’s life in the #Hooptober fever dream. And 2.5 stars isn’t a bad rating, I found things to like in both of those. 📽️

Best physical media rental library in the world and that’s not hyperbole. 150K titles. Here’s about half of their Westerns section. 🎥

Launched into Hooptober with a classic James Whale, continued exploring Westerns with Jimmy Stewart, ate comfort food with Jean Gabin, and hit The Beacon for my 1st film in their Destroy Me More program. 📽

Nevertheless, it's Friday, and I have a #LastFourWatched. Claire Denis is really really good, dunno if you knew that or not. 📽️
