Happily, I have the opposite of a sharp eye for this stuff, so I just sort of sat back and blissfully enjoyed Bohemian Rhapsody regardless of its flaws.

New Indiana Jones movie surprisingly good. Mostly coherent story, hit the right nostalgia spots, and the Phoebe Waller Bridge character is dope.

Yeah, he was good. Heās Tommy Lee Jones. And the movie is good. It just wasnāt a performance where I thought, āWow.ā It was just a good job by a good actor.

Agreed. I enjoyed it. But I did watch a video on the editing and I certainly see peopleās complaints.

Raise the Oscar winner for Best Makeup and Hairstyling at 89th Academy Awards: Suicide Squad
Which is not quite as bad as the movie winning for editing but HOLY SHIT SUICIDE SQUAD HAS AN OSCAR and itās not even the good Suicide Squad movie

We need to quash this Barbie/Oppenheimer beef. Too many people have been hurt.

Did it have Hitler on Ice?
The Fugitive wasnāt even his best performance that year, it was Cobb imo
In the prologue he said he specifically told them no Hitler but there was a tiny bit of Hitler

Watching Talented Mr. Ripley. I think Iām 3 Rewatchables movies in a row with Philip Baker Hall suddenly appearing.
If Talented Mr. Ripley isnāt the best script of all time, itās very very close. The way it just builds and builds and spirals out of control at an incrementally perfect pace. Thereās so much nuance. So many unsaid plot twists. So much communicated just by a look. Incredible acting by everyone involved.
The whole ā man gaslighting a woman and other men reflexively siding with him over her is way ahead of its time. You know who never logic-ed themselves into āwell akshually a thriving free market in children makes perfect sense when you really think about itā? Any woman ever.
Iām scooping booty now. Going in for The Shining. I canāt do horror unless Iām lit up.

I really enjoy Analyze This and have watched it many times.
But thereās this moment where Chazz Palminterini says, āGet a dictionary. Find out what this āclosureā thing is. If thatās what heās going to hit us with, I want to be ready.ā Itās like somebody much dumber than the director staged a hostile takeover and inserted the dumbest improv take possible, one that had long since been placed on the cutting-room floor. It was like Cliff Clavin sneaking his own bad joke into the middle of a Carson monologue.
But anyway, good scene if you ignore that part, good movie.
Is there an effective difference between UHD and HD on Prime? I canāt seem to tell any. But I havenāt rented the same movie in both to test.
I rented Say Anything in UHD and it looked super grainy. I wonder if UHD can actually make old movies worse?

Itās also one of the best hangover scenes in history. I can feel Willardās nausea as he zooms in on the shrimp while Kurtz goes on about the slug, very well-observed moment
and everyoneās desire to be God, should certain variables errr
