I haven't seen it. I also haven't seen La La Land or the Nicholas Sparks one.

Despite my love for Gene Hackman I've never seen it.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I loved Zombieland back in the day, and the sequel is very funny too.

The Killing (1956)

It was cool to see a young Stanley Kubes honing his chops. You can definitely see some kernels of his future genius sprinkled throughout. I liked the non-linear story telling, and the influence on Tarantino is pretty clear.

My two biggest takeaways?
Spoiler: show
Never skimp on cheap suitcases that don’t latch properly, and always check the size restrictions of your carry-on luggage before planning your trip.

I watched this a few weeks ago and loved it. I love how defeated Sterling Hayden was at the end.

I'm watching the 1975 version of The Count of Monte Cristo because I had a hankering for some Tony Curtis.

Decided to watch The Witches of Eastwick based entirely on stumbling upon a clip of Michelle Pfeiffer playing tennis with her butt. Turned out to be as advertised. A wacky and sexy good time. Also kind of strange. Weird, as well. All in all - a blast.

I re-watched The Darjeeling Limited a couple nights ago. It actually can't be improved upon. Everything in it is exactly as it should be. Nothing should be amended, added, subtracted, or polished. A rare five stars from me
