Set up as in you queued it up for her to watch?

Watched The Devil Wears Prada 2 with spike's wife. We both loved it!

Bout to strap in and watch Conan the Barbarian. I know I’ve seen parts, but it’s been years upon years

She ended up watching something else so we could watch it together sometime. Blimey.

The Conversation.

Gene Hackman, what a star. Coppola at its finest.

Here's my weekly update on how my project of trying to complete the list of the 1,000 greatest films before I turn 40 at the end of next year.

This week, I watched three more movies. First was Smiles of a Summer Night, an 'early' Bergman comedy which was indeed funny and felt quite like a Swedish Shakespeare.

Next was 1985's Taipei Story, from Edward Yang. This one I enjoyed very much

And tonight I watched the Audrey Hepburn classic Breakfast at Tiffany's, which I found tremendously charming and quite captivating. I won't be marking it as a favorite over the Mickey Rooney of it all, but it does have a lot of charm overall

I only managed to get through one more episode of the silent French serial Les Vampires (1915-16), so I have now seen four of ten episodes. I'll try to look at that more this week.

262 films to go! Still on target

Good luck. Very surprised to hear your remaining number is so low. You've been putting in work as a cinephile!

I'm 20 years in at this point. Most of that work was done 2006-2012, honestly

Marty Supreme was very good, and I say that as someone who wasn’t impressed by Good Time or Uncut Gems. Need way more Abel Ferrara acting in my life.

Justice League: The New Frontier (Blu-Ray)
Man, I really love this one. I don’t collect comics, but I did get the DC compact version of this one.

I get whiplash every time LV praises a modern film. Something ain't right.

I Love Boosters.

Such an enjoyable experience. Poignant and hilarious. Weird and layered. Surprising and hokey (in the best way). It's stylized within an inch of it's life and it all works.

Boots Riley is a special mind and a welcomed eye.
