We all have gaps Chuck.
If youâre talking about where itâs made, Letterboxd does have a feature where you can search by country and then can use genre filters (and other filters) from there.
Back on my arthouse horror bullshit, very impressed with Onibaba, a grim 1964 Japanese movie that feels like an old-school gothic suspense tale. Looks incredible, the way itâs shot and lit seized my attention for almost the whole runtime.
Also, Videodrome holds up very well, really one of the all-time great sci-fi movies.
Quite the list, but Iâm never watching a dubbed movie. Just canât bring myself to do it.

Tom Everett Scott turning up at the end of La La Land is one of the stranger cameos I can remember. Dude parlayed That Thing You Do into absolutely nothing; 20 years later it felt like he was basically turning up to provide proof of life.

I totally forgot that after That Thing You Do, his next movie paired him with Julie Delpy in what was unfortunately a huge stinker.
That movie, however, gave us one of the best Bush songs of all time (that wasnât on Sixteen Stone).
I forgot about that; now that you show me the poster, I vaguely remember it existing. I had thought his next movie was with Zack Morris and 100% flopped, after which it just felt like we never saw him again. Definitely forgot he existed until the end of La La Land. The TTYD alumni network was not a very successful one. I remember seeing the dude who played Jimmy showing up on a failed Jennifer Love Hewitt TV show (I think it was a Party of Five spinoff) and then nothing else. The bass player, Ethan whoever, got Canât Hardly Wait, and then I canât remember much else. Steve Zahn has had a successful supporting actor career. Liv Tyler is the biggest of them (not counting Tom Hanks), but it feels like she already had upward momentum and that it wasnât mostly to do with that movie.
I was very fond of That Thing You Do.

He was on a few episodes of Law and Order. It was weird thinking, âWow, that goofy drummer is now the Governor of New York.â

Poor bastard really did lose everything when he broke his arm. He even fell out of my memory. But yeah, good reminder, he was in it and his career didnât insta-collapse.

My wife is a total pride and prejudice junkie, and will often just have it on while doing paperwork or whatever on the couch
One of my kids just plopped down on the couch one night while this was happening, which led to basically non-stop MST3K style commentary (my theory here is that kids have never lived in a world where you couldnât rewind everything so they have no hesitation about talking over anything).
âThis chick is 15 and married??? Kinda cringe.â
(Re: Mr Darcy) âthis guy is a simpâ
âare you FONDâ??? âMay I PERSUADE youâ??? Who talks like this
Me: English people
Jr: no wonder they get bullied online
Needless to say, my wife did not enjoy this.
