The antigravity effects in this are still impressive. CGI was still in its infancy and there's not a lot of digital hokey pokey going on.

FIRE IN THE SKY is on and I forgot about the tongue-in-cheek casting of Henry Thomas.

We always call it Garbo-ing when Babs covers her face and say that in the voice to her.

Gaza is currently being treated like a concentration camp. Cornering everyone together, with nowhere to go, no electricity, no water … People have learnt nothing from our histories. And just like our histories, people are still silently watching it all happen. THIS IS GENOCIDE & ETHNIC CLEANSING

This is the statement that got her fired, Calum. Please show me the conspiracy theory here. Why would others resign in solidarity over an antisemitic hoax? I believe you and I were friendly back in the day, and I'm appalled that you went from 0 to "idiot review" in under a second QT-ing me.

Can't believe they got rid of it for all the video releases.

Haven't seen it in ages. Remember it feeling like two movies that were at cross-purposes.

FARGO is weirdly underrated, particularly among Coen heads. Saw it opening weekend, which was nice because the snow scenes weren't yet bedeviled with print wear and tear.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

Haven't seen any Pixars since Docter's SOUL, a movie I would not *not* call "millions of dollars in therapy."

My cat demanded a belly rub during the climax of SHELTER and I missed one of the boss kills. (On the other hand, got to pet a cat.)

NOMADS is not a great movie, but this line rings in my head 24/7 these days.

Any universal remote should do the trick. You might even be able to find an app to control it with your phone if you know the model #.

During Covid I watched his filmography through up to LONE STAR and just finding them was a pain in the ass. (I never did locate SEACAUCUS 7 or LIANNA.)

I only want a 4K if he includes the theatrical cut. Of course, the alternate cuts may only exist as dated video masters, and would probably require costly resto work to be 4K-ready. (Also hope he doesn't mess with the colour grade.)

It was the same one if memory serves. Is it still there? It's gone on the Canadian app.

Heads up: Michael Mann's THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS is on Tubi. Weirdly, it opens with a pan-and-scan warning, but it's full widescreen (2.35:1) throughout. Sadly it's not the theatrical cut, but the 115-minute second director's cut.
