You know what's a good gotdang movie?
Matthau was a star during this period but at 50-ish to May's 39, he's a little miscast (I bet Charles Grodin would've killed in this). Still, Matthau's lovely.
Did I get a little teary when Henrietta gifts Henry the frond token? You're damned right I did.

London game devs! I’ll be there tomorrow. Let’s show Rockstar and their parent company Take-Two that we stand by our fellow workers who deserve reinstatement.
Will you?

Good Boy, meh movie! Jackie Chan is old as fuck and still charismatic as hell! Found footage where the premise of the doc within the film makes no sense! Zombie v Shark: Dawn of Justfish!

All winners this week, movie-wise. Dark City was the director’s cut from Arrow’s recent 4K. I had to chew on OBAA in a second viewing which hooked me. And Perdita Durango/aka Dance With the Devil is a first time watch since its VHS release.

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! What’s your #LastForWatched?
Cripes, True Grit is perfect. I liked Weapons the first time and adored it the second. And despite feeling like a pilot shot for streaming, Dead Talents Society has some good bits and could’ve benefit from more creative production design.

I adore lots of Wingard’s previous work but Godzilla X Kong was an ugly, overly busy film.
Adult Swim Yule Log threw everything at the wall (complimentary) but I kinda wish it had the courage to stick with the fixed POV.

Three of these didn’t have enough movie or feeling to sustain their runtimes. One was an absolutely devastating drama with a performance by Ms. Eartha Kitt that took my breath away.

3 rewatches and a first time viewing of a classic.
Both Anderson and Zombie made a pair of films with lots of ideas (that never really cohered). Ww should have more low-key action comedies like Midnight Run. And Anora remains a tightrope act of tones and feeling.

Tornado and Heretic were both dull at both the conceptual and execution levels. Meanwhile, Predator: Killer of Killers asks, “What if there were some Predators?”

Having a rotten week and positively DO NOT want to talk about it.
One respite’s been reading Al Ewing’s Immortal Hulk run. You might be having a hard time, but Dr. Robert Bruce Banner is having a harder one.
