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 watched Miami Blues a few nights ago after finishing the book. It was pretty good. One of the better Alec Baldwin performances I can remember.

First time ever.
Very fun! I found the VO to feel very dated, but loved everything else.
I agree, though I do believe that was intentional.
Yeah, it's totally intentional, but it's just a product of its time: Very snarky, Shane Black 4th wall stuff.

I can see that.

I really enjoy Shane Black's writing (mostly)

Think the quality trailed off in the second half.

Watched that last Dr Strange movie last night. It was.....alright I guess, but it's one long ass movie to be them basically just trying to tell Wanda to stop being a dick

Cinderella Man

Third last 2005-movie on my list for now. Only Pride and Prejudice and Harry Potter 4 left after this one.

my affection for shane black is well documented, as is trag's dislike over the v/o narration in Kiss.

trag -- why does v/o work in Nice Guys?

Just finished the first Kill Bill. I’d not seen it since the theatrical release. Starting the second one now. Never seen it.

Having finished the book yesterday I'm now watching the movie Cockfighter.

Finishing up part 2 this morning. I had forgotten just what a strikingly beautiful creature Uma Thurman is. God damn.

I’ve enjoyed this version (2005) of Pride and Prejudice. Seems a lot more light than I remember (not seen this version before).

Will watch Harry Potter and the Goblet Of Fire now. Always a good time. Last 2005 movie on my list.

How do you pick each year's movies?

Posted: **Sat June 25, 2022 5:29 pm**

It is my collection of digital movies, curated and bought because I want to watch them, whether it’s for the first time or a rewatch, and with everything that is part of that process in choosing movies.

Watching them by year was a project to see classic movies (which I did mostly alone), but turned out to be a great way to watch movies with my wife for modern movies.

No movies that I have seen since the start of 2020 are rewatched, but rather marked as seen on the list since then.

Part one is great. Even if it all feels lke one long movie, the second part (or movie two) isn’t quite as good as the first.

Thurman is amazing.
