Andrew POE!

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.

Movies today....no Pulp Fiction or Left Behind 1 or Last Year At Marienbad. I KNOW. Plane (Peacock/Netflix, leaving Peacock on 6/12) - 2.5/5 stars Lemon (HBO Max, leaving on 6/30) - 1.5/5 stars Woodshock (HBO Max, leaving on 6/30) - 1/5 star How To Train Your Dragon (2025) (saw in the theaters) - 3.5/5 stars Acid Rain (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 2.5/5 stars

It can't be that bad. Can it?

I got The Sacrifice, Last Year At Marienbad, Nostalghia, Bob Le Flameur, and Alphaville from that sale. My poor wallet.

Movies today.... Heathers (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 4/5 stars Showing Up (HBO Max, leaving on 6/30) - 5/5 stars 20th Century Women (HBO Max, leaving on 6/30) - 5/5 stars

The thing with Brian Wilson/The Beach Boys is you can tell an act that's influenced by them and what they sound like owing a debt to Brian Wilson. Animal Collective and The High Llamas for example sound like something Brian Wilson/The Beach Boys would do. I got to see The Beach Boys as a little kid in concert, but never the shows with Brian Wilson. I always felt like he made it okay to be a little weird and he's probably the perfect example of someone with autism that lead a productive life (or at least he had similar traits to someone with autism).

Yeah, it's a shame about Emily Lloyd. It's obvious from watching In Country that she and Bruce Willis didn't get along. I haven't seen Tokyo Fist, but I may track it down.

Nope, Pulp Fiction. I won't touch Left Behind 1. (At least not yet).

I end up being busy on the weekends - which is usually the best time for me to watch movies longer than 2 hours. I'll watch it this weekend, I promise!

Pulp Fiction talk serves as a reminder that I still need to watch it. Movies today... In Country (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 3.5/5 stars A Guide To Breathing Underwater (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 3/5 stars Tetsuo: The Iron Man (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 4/5 stars Nine (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 2.5/5 stars

I'll be there day 1 for this. It got a mixed reaction at Cannes, but maybe it'll do fine.

Movies today. I think there's a bird theme. Gran Turismo (Netflix, leaving on 6/10) - 3/5 stars The Birds (Netflix, not leaving any time soon, just started on it last night) - 5/5 stars Migration (Netflix, leaving on 6/19) - 3/5 stars Lady Bird (HBO Max, leaving on 6/30) - 5/5 stars

Movies today....did another podcast appearance so that cut into my movie watching. Bananas (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 3/5 stars Hale County This Morning, This Evening (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 4.5/5 stars The Childhood of a Leader (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 3.5/5 stars

Movies today.... Volver (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 4.5/5 stars Belle Epoque (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 4/5 stars Dan Da Dan: Evil Eye (saw in the theaters) - 3/5 stars Ring (1998) (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 4/5 stars 38 (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 3/5 stars

Movies today.... I Am Woman (Netflix, leaving on 6/7) - 2.5/5 stars The Magic Christian (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 5/5 stars The Phoenician Scheme (saw in the theaters) - 3/5 stars Seymour: An Introduction (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 3.5/5 stars

Did you not learn from my review posted in this thread not to see this?

If the Criterion 4K edition didn't exist, I would get this. Which reminds me, I really need to buy the 4K edition during the next Criterion sale.

Movies today....a lot of 1960s films. You're A Big Boy Now (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 3/5 stars Barbarella (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 4.5/5 stars Coogan's Bluff (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 4/5 stars Ballerina (saw in the theaters) - 2.5/5 stars Try And Get Me! AKA The Sound of Fury (Criterion Channel, leaving on 5/30) - 4.5/5 stars

Wicked: For Good I'll be there to see it in IMAX at 9 am or so to avoid people singing along with the movie.

Movies today...not as many as usual due to work and rehearsals. Black Caesar (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 3.5/5 stars Ahed's Knee (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 4/5 stars
