Terry Jones commented on his disappointment at the existence of such a term, claiming the initial aim of Monty Python was to create something new and impossible to categorise, and "the fact that Pythonesque is now a word in the Oxford English Dictionary shows the extent to which we failed"

The Lord of the Rings, Ghost Quartet, Wally, Hadestown, The Producers, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, Murder in the Pantheon, Chicago, Beetlejuice, Sondheim tribute, We Are The Tigers, The Lightning Thief, The Witches of Eastwick, Carrie, Spooky Classics, We Will Rock You, Evil Dead

I made a list of all the live performances I've seen since the beginning of last year, but they didn't fit in this post.

Groovy

Have come back from the Sydney Symphony Orchestra performing Spooky Classics. Was excellent.

(But not a single track from The Crow soundtrack, I notice.)

This is getting silly. Like Carrie this does not seem in need of a remake, but no doubt there are reasons. Hopefully it is somehow in aid of the Dark Tower...

Then again, if he's doing everything, he should go chronologically. 'salem's Lot and Rage next!

Killing the Doctor is also right out...

I've never gelled much with his movies, but The Monkey is very different (and fucking weird) so it may be worth a watch. Or not.

We are thinking of visiting later in the year. This is all a bit scary.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, Nosferatu, Batman vs Robin, Happy Death Day 2U

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple does indeed take it to 11.

In this case, the so-called Director's Cut is the bad one

No doubt this makes me a bad person, but I like Oliver Stone's complete Alexander.

This is the first year I couldn't even begin to formulate a vote. Am losing touch with the yoof...

I haven't even seen the John Wick Ballerina (I sort of feel they should leave poor John in peace, but I should catch up with that one).

The Villainess takes the bones of Nikita and goes in all sorts of strange ways with it, which I always like -- but also the action is incredible.

I've seen that -- was cool. I like how the Ballerina wasn't actually the assassin (unlike most such things). Have you see The Villainess?

You can associate non-gmail addresses with a google account, but that is getting beyond my expertise. I receive and send tabula-rasa emails from inside gmail, but I'm not sure about calendar notifications.

It definitely can do weekly reminders (every Friday, first Tuesday of the month etc)

Occasionally I look at options for a Google free life

I just use Google calendar email notifications for that, but I understand privacy may be an issue.

Shame. I'd still watch it.

Piranha II, Nouvelle Vague, Batman: Under the Red Hood, 28 Years Later

I went back to watch some S1 of 12 Monkeys, and discovered some foreshadowing of things that were only introduced much later. It does have a bit of a slow build, but it seems to know where it's going.

Ooh, I'd given up on Netflix by the time the last season of SG happened, but I should keep that in mind.

As for best ending I have seen, 12 Monkeys maybe? It seemed to wrap everything up without the rush of so many shows. Haven and The Magicians also had excellent final seasons.

One must imagine Sisyphus happy (to mate and die again).

We're off to see a local production of JCS in May.

My favourite is probably still Heathers, although given the great variety of productions, I should probably specify Barrett Wilbert Weed as Veronica).

Yeah, it didn't do much for me either. The fact I had already seen the musical version, which is not only vastly funnier but more emotionally resonant probably didn't help.

Josh Brolin (3 movies), Ang Lee (2 movies). I feel that says something about diversity -- although since I only managed 84 in total, maybe not that much.
