He had a bad stroke a while back but is still alive. He was even in the table reading of Rocky Horror during the pandemic 2020.
Yeah I knew that, and I feel like when I heard he died I thought âoh yeah, I knew he had been unwellâ.
At my old office location his diabetes doctor was next door and he walked into our office mistakenly once, we were all very excited.

Boy oh boy am I not also going to voluntarily spend movie-watching time thinking about fucking DJT. Hardest of passes on that movie, at least in the immediate future.

Trump is an extra layer of hell I just canât bring myself to watch.
If it made me feel bad for him for example I might have to end it all!

Assuming this is the one with scenes set 70s era cars, we saw that being set up in Toronto (standing in for NYC). It was something about Trump.

Scanners (1981)
As this movie got going, I wasnât sure whether the scanning plot device was going to be for me. As it turns out, I warmed up to it quickly and it was actually the biggest reason I can say I liked the movie overall. Each of the scanning scenes were pretty enjoyable to watch. The iconic head explosion was even cooler given the broader context of the scene, and the climactic scanning scene felt appropriately heightened after all that had built to it.
That said, this was certainly a flawed movie. Stephen Lack is stone-cold AWFUL in the lead role. When I even stop to think, âis it crazy to compare this to Sofia Coppola in Godfather III?â itâs not a great sign. The line deliveries are painful, and while I gave due consideration to the thought that heâs playing an abnormal character and that maybe the performance isnât so bad within that contextâŚI canât buy it. Especially since Michael Ironside is very solid in the Revok role and would have presumably been burdened by the same character limitations.
The story wasnât bad I guess, though I did feel that it was uneven and didnât do a great job of getting me to care about the stakes of the film. It mostly felt like they had some cool concepts to play out and then put together a flimsy framework that ultimately qualified as a semi-coherent story. I donât know.
Even with these negatives in mind, the high points of the movie do carry the viewer to a good experience overall. Iâm enjoying delving further into the David Cronenberg catalog and will continue to do so.
3.5/5

Someone needs to watch this (Havoc 2005) and report back.

what the fuck
I saw it. The scene is silly but in the movie itâs supposed to be silly. All her friends are rich white kids trying to be gangster and Anne Hathaway thinks sheâs tougher than them, but when she tries to hang out with real gang members she gets way over her head. The initiation to the gang is having the gang members run a train on her and her friend BTW.
Itâs not high art but it did show that Anne Hathaway could act in more mature roles.

The Granny (1995) If you want an aggressively stupid direct-to-video horror-comedy to watch with a group of people and youâve seen Leprechaun 2 already, you canât go wrong with this.
I am begging you people to watch normal movies from way, way after you were born.

She generally does. Sheâs easily one of the best out there. She nearly showed enough WIM to make Love and Other Drugs work; it felt like Michael Jordan trying to will the Wizards into the playoffs.
