Reading "big funny hat" compels me to share this image of Shelley Winters. Consider it inspiration, or perhaps a challenge.

BLACK BAG seemed to be under everyone's radar but it's one of this year's most enjoyable releases: a super cool spy thriller where everone in MI6 is human and damaged and horny, but with a very tight and hopeful romantic core. Also grimly funny, with some truly hilarious banter.

Might I recommend Steven Soderbergh's BLACK BAG? To that end, honestly the entire OCEAN's trilogy is comfort cinema for me. I would also argue that Wes Anderson's entire filmography is just him and those in his orbit doing what they think is cool, fuck everyone else.

This was not exactly a good movie but it was the only werewolf movie playing in theaters last December, which is the most appropriate time to watch werewolves in a theater, so I was grateful for that at least. Oh and mostly practical werewolves are always welcome.

Cadbury Mini Eggs are probably my favorite candy of all time, heartily approve. Breakfast of champions!

Also shout out to the Gandalf vs. Saruman old man throwdown from THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING, a wizard fight with no magic beams or lightning bolts, just old people rag dolling each other off walls and marble floors. Not something you see every day.

- the underwater fight from TOP SECRET
- the hallway fight from the first Netflix season of Daredevil
- the final reel of POLICE STORY
- the fight in MY FATHER IS A HERO where Jet Li is swinging the kid around on a rope
- roughly 65% of the run time of THE NIGHT COMES FOR US

I work at a movie theater, last night was brutal. But a dad coming out with his kid made the same comparison, shaking his head in utter bewilderment.

This clown's just asking to have soup and/or milkshakes thrown at him.

Is it reasonable to assume bonus points if #2 also includes scrolling through microfiche in a library basement?
