Iron Man - 3.75/4
Iron Man 2 - 3.05/4
Thor - 1.4/4
Captain America: The First Avenger - 2.5/4

Next up is The Avengers, ugh. Why am I doing this?

Criterion just put up a huge Hitchcock collection, so I'm trying to go through to fill the gaps I haven't seen. So far I've seen Sabotage and The Lady Vanishes. They were both good, especially the latter, but I think I'm only just coming up to some of his best ones.

Nice, I had the same plan---to watch some that I'd never seen. I'm planning to watch Foreign Correspondent, Shadow of a Doubt, Marnie, and Torn Curtain.

I loved it. Beautiful scenery, great performances. Nice slow burning plot with a few twists and surprises. I saw a bunch of headlines like "The Ending EXPLAINED" before watching it, so I was maybe expecting something a bit more ambiguous at the end. But the ending was perfect.

One thing that confused me:
Spoiler: show
I swear in the scene where George has his parents and the governor over for dinner, the governor makes an offhand comment like, "George, your brother, first in his class at Harvard..." Did I mishear that? Was he talking about Peter, Rose's son?

Oh man, you get a lot of those for EVERY movie, no matter how straightforward the ending is

Malloy! I have a movie for you. Not only is it very good but it is also on the Criterion Channel and I sense it may appeal to your radical leftist tendencies

It is called Canoa: A Shameful Memory

You should all watch this movie, it is Mexican and very good

Lenny, since last night you talked about loving David Thewliss, have you ever watched Divorcing Jack? It's this obscure Northern Irish black comedy from the 90s with a kind of Coen brothers vibe (sorta -- maybe more cartoony). I caught it on cable when I was a kid and it was pretty influential on me, I think

I'm going to go see the original Matrix on the big screen today. Never seen it on the big screen before, though I've probably seen it thirty times over my life
