I just started the book a few days ago and am looking forward to watching the movie after I finish it.

The Zero Theorem

This one had eluded me, but I have seen all the Gilliam movies now. It was boring as hell, and Christoph Waltz continues to be massively overrated. The end.

The last 5 movies I watched (ranked - although I enjoyed them all)

Bugonia
Star Trek 4 - The Voyage Home
Promising Young Woman
A Certain Killer
A Killers Key

Speaking of Gladiator, this is such a killer line I don't see referenced very often:

"I don't pretend to be a man of the people. But I do try to be a man for the people."

Last time I watched Gladiator I felt really bad for Commodus (up to a point) He was failed by his father.

Pretty sure Marcus admitted that, but knew it was too late to correct

He blew it!

Watching The Protector. Jackie Chan and Danny Aiello attempt to rescue a kidnapped woman from Hong Kong criminals. Weird to see so much nudity and swearing in a Jackie Chan movie. So far it's a lot of fun. Not much of a story, but great 80s action. I'm sure Aiello is going to double cross Jackie at some point.

I can’t imagine Danny Aiello not nude.

He has the body of David.

But where have you seen him nude?

This was really crazy. One wild action sequence after another. Some really great stunts.

In every one of my fantasies.

Watching Trap again. I really like this stupid movie.

we watched one battle after another a few nights ago...we both found it average

I saw it won the Golden Globe for best musical or comedy. Pretty sure it’s not a musical but is it a comedy? The trailers I saw didn’t really indicate that.

It was as much a comedy as the average Coen brothers movie. I've only seen it once, but my recollection was that it was more of an Action/Drama with comedic elements.

There's heavy satire in the movie. But, no, it's not a comedy. But this is also why genre talk in general drives me crazy and why it's nonsense when it comes to awards ceremonies.

yeah calling that movie a comedy is for the birds
