I did get a new enjoyment out of it. Certainly a very different feeling from when I first watched it 20-30 years ago. The movie feels as relevant today as it ever did.

Wicker Man. Way better than the hilariously awful Cage remake. Pretty good, creepy, despite some amateurish, poor craftsmanship.

Sound of Metal.

Gonna go out on a limb and say that Anthony Hopkins is much better than Riz Ahmed, who I found to be wooden.

The movie was ok, but I never really felt like I got inside the head of the main character. Intense subject matter though, especially after the month I've had.

Maybe he'll admit he is wrong after reading my post.

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 haven't seen The Father or Sound of Metal but there is no way Anthony Hopkins is better than Riz Ahmed.

There I said it.

Anthony Hopkins is seriously overrated. He's fine, but he doesn't deserve his reputation.

There is no reason to dislike him. He has never turned in a poor performance, is usually really good and you're always happy to see him. He's like Sean Connery but more diverse.

He's definitely better than Sean Connery.

I really liked the novel (Human Stain). But I could never bring myself to watch the movie.
