Andrew POE!

There's only so many hours in the day for me to watch stuff.

Movies today....I'll have to caution you, most of what I watched today was a bit political. L.A. Confidential (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 4.5/5 stars Citizenfour (Mubi, leaving on 6/30) - 4.5/5 stars Milk (Peacock, leaving on 6/30) - 5/5 stars Bulletproof (Mubi, leaving on 6/30) - 2/5 stars

Well, I watched a crappy movie so you didn't have to and I can confirm it's crap. And Christine Baranski is indeed a foxy minx.

Movies today.... Robinson's Garden (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 2/5 stars What's Up Connection (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 3/5 stars Fauna (Mubi, leaving on 6/30) - 3.5/5 stars Bride Hard (saw in the theaters) - 0.5/5 star Il Buco (Mubi, leaving on 6/30) - 5/5 stars

Sure I'll watch that too!

I will likely be watching Wise Guys sooner than later.

Thanks for enjoying those movie reviews Harry. Movies today.... Paper Moon (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 5/5 stars American Sniper (Netflix, leaving on 6/21) - 3/5 stars Elio (saw in the theaters) - 4/5 stars Brain on Fire (Netflix, leaving on 6/21) - 2.5/5 stars River of Grass (Mubi, leaving on 6/30) - 3.5/5 stars

Actually, I wasn't even thinking about the Mia Farrow narrative when I watched VCB or the whole thing with Woody Allen's personal life. I was just thinking about how I felt about the movie versus the rest of his work that I've seen.

Yeah, I tend to struggle when watching movies later at night as far as aspects like that go. It's likely if I watched Materialists at a 9:00 pm showing I would end up with what happened to me and the most recent The Wedding Banquet - essentially falling asleep in the theater and not remembering portions of the movie. I had paid attention enough to Vicky Cristina Barcelona and just wasn't a fan of Bardem/Hall/Johansson's characters. I could just re-watch it before the end of the month. Woody Allen movies to me just vary quality wise; some I connect with like Annie Hall, Interiors, and Hannah And Her Sisters, but some just seem really average to me like Bananas and Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Although his more recent movies after that have a Mendoza line it's failing to hit.

Yet I watched Materalists and liked it enough to give it 5 stars. It sounds like it's a divisive movie.

Movies today... Casualties of War (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 4/5 stars Audition (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 4.5/5 stars Don't Be A Dick About It (Mubi, leaving on 6/30) - 1/5 star

Movies today...not as much as usual due to having to go into the office for work. Platoon (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 4.5/5 stars Vicky Cristina Barcelona (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 3/5 stars

If it includes John C. Reilly as Dewey Cox, I'm fine with it.

Can't wait for the crossover movie where Bruce meets Bob Dylan (played by Timothee Chalamet of course).

Yeah, Trump was in his 20s when Mailer ran. Town Bloody Hall is still on Criterion Channel now. I don't know when Norman Mailer vs. Fun City is leaving Criterion Channel, but considering the rest of the Fun City collection is leaving this month, it's likely to be next month.

Movies today....a few more short films compared to usual. Tongues Untied (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 4.5/5 stars Q (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 4/5 stars Will-o'-the-Wisp (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 2/5 stars Norman Mailer vs Fun City (Criterion Channel) - 3.5/5 stars Autobiographical Scene Number 6882 (Mubi, leaving on 6/30) - 3/5 stars

Yeah, it was honestly the first 30 minutes or so of Reservoir Dogs and having the characters dropping the 'n-word' left and right. Even when I divorced myself from that, I found myself not liking Reservoir Dogs as much. So far, I don't like that aspect of Tarantino's character writing. Almost all the films after Pulp Fiction though, he hasn't done that (or as noticeable). (I haven't seen Django and I'm fairly sure he does it there too). I didn't have the same reaction to Reservoir Dogs as I did to Mallrats; I found Mallrats disappointing to watch. EDIT: Oh and if you value your time and your life, don't watch Left Behind (2000). It's really that bad.

September Criterion Collection releases got announced. They include: - Flow - Born in Flames - Read My Lips - The Beat That My Heart Skipped - This Is Spinal Tap 4K (finally no longer in OOS) - High And Low 4K - Isle of Dogs - The French Dispatch Isle of Dogs and The French Dispath are individual releases and also part of the Wes Anderson box set for a kidney / $500.

Yeah, it's too easy of a joke too. "My name is Buck Williams and I fuck millions!" Christians are weird.

Yeah, I haven't seen what's in the spoiler yet. I also didn't take notes while watching the movie. I should probably watch every movie referenced in Pulp Fiction. Sometimes I'm really good at analyzing a movie and other times I miss the boat on my analysis.

Movies today....finally saw ones that have been requested from me to see. Pulp Fiction ("When are you going to watch Pulp Fiction?") - 5/5 stars Left Behind: The Movie ("HarryArchieGus: You watch everything, when you are going to watch this?") - 1/2 / 5 stars Dark Water (2002) (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 3.5/5 stars Fit Model (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 4/5 stars Nettles (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 3/5 stars Lamb (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 3/5 stars Iba N'Diaye (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 2.5/5 stars Negative Two (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 3/5 stars

Movies today.... The Fog of War (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 4/5 stars The Boys From Brazil (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 2/5 stars Urban Rashomon (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 3/5 stars Antonyms of Beauty (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 2.5/5 stars The Life of Chuck (saw in the theaters) - 4.5/5 stars Birage Diop, Storyteller (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 3/5 stars

AMC has indicated in a press release that there will be a "premium spot" before movies at their theaters start for another ad, as if that's what's making people not go to the theaters.

Movies today....quite a few short films. Va Savoir (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 4.5/5 stars Mol (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 3/5 stars Behind The Scenes: The Making of Ceddo (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 3.5/5 stars Dirty (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 3.5/5 stars A Nation Is Born (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 2.5/5 stars Africa on the Seine (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 3/5 stars Materialists (saw in the theaters) - 5/5 stars First (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 3/5 stars Friday the 13th (guess what date today is?) - 3/5 stars

I caught the Youtube video of Cena tonight as World champion. I'm over him being champion and tired of it. I sorta wish CM Punk had told Cena, "You know, if you don't like appearing here in WWE, you can stay home. Nobody will complain." Cena can no show his remaining dates and just retire as champion. What incentive does he have to even be on WWE TV? Not getting paid? Getting suspended (he's retiring, why would a suspension matter to him)? It really doesn't make sense to me.
