Yeah, I saw you deleted it after I posted my reply. :lol: So I edited mine, too. I get being grumpy. Beau makes me grumpy as fuck.

Hope you get some good rest soon.

The movie features a version of Release with rerecorded vocals and Ed changes the lyrics from "Oh dear Dad" to "Oh dear Rod"

Who could possibly think recording a new version of a classic song that's virtually indistinguishable from the original save for the awkward shoehorning of a character name from an obscure Casey Affleck movie was a good idea?

I don't know if that pic will ever stop being funny.

A YouTube essay told me not to watch "Drawn Together: The Movie".
So naturally, I'm watching the shit out of it tonight.

Roman J. Israel, Esq.

Seen it once before. Last movie I added to 2017, probably won’t add more now. Still 100+ movies to go, including exactly 60 I’ve never seen before.

Think Denzel does an interesting role, in which he was nominated for an Academy Award. Not his best movie though.

Plan on seeing The Flash (2023), and Pitch Perfect 3 later.

I'm not sure you're right about its intentions. "Evil" is too strong a word but it is purposefully off-putting and mean spirited. Ari has talked a lot about that.
I feel as if all of Aster's work has that mean-spirited streak, and it's very clear from his short film he made before Midsommar; he's excellent at aesthetic and mood, but I just don't find any heart in his movies and the best horror (imo) has compassion; he's not terrible, but he is overrated; his reputation should've gone to Robert Eggers

Feel like there's a much better movie right under the surface of this movie. It's a shame.

For what it's worth, this is the first Ari Aster movie I've actually enjoyed. It's also not a horror movie.

Really enjoyed Mutant Mayhem. Loved the animation style. Great cast. Jackie Chan stole the show as Splinter.

Pitch Perfect 3 is fairly mediocre. Not fully done yet, but doubt it will change too much. First one was good, second was a decent follow up, even if a lesser overall movie. This seems to have lost the magic, but probably still fun for major fans of the franchise.

Firing up The Color of Money. I've got high hopes for this one.

I tried a couple months ago. It was solid but I was getting tired and bailed after 30 minutes. I never went back. I've never seen The Hustler.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen either. They’re both good enough.

I wanted to watch The Hustler first, but it's not streaming anywhere without ads.

10 minutes into Color and I can already tell I'm going to love this. Paul Newman is magical.

Prospect. Nice little movie. Pedro Pascale really made a whole career out of escorting youths, huh?

Never heard of it, but it sounds interesting.
