Watched a Jack Black movie about the Polka King.

Anyone see The Irishman yet?

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Not the best Tarantino, but still OK

Sheet. I'm a busy bee. If I'm watching that I gotta have at least two days free before committing to watching it in one go. I wanted to see it at the pictures but they stopped showing it before I got chance to go. Being in a cinema means you're forced to not get distracted by the damn fucking phone or anything else. |

One of the too many versions of Blade Runner, with "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" queued up afterwards.

Yep. It was quite good, but the editor in me couldn’t help but think it did NOT need to be 3 1/2 hours long. Like, it was two full sittings. Could have had a lot of stuff clipped. 2019 attention spans are not built for it. But it’s solid. There’s some questionable de-aging that goes on with DeNiro... they do something to his face for a while to smoothify it, and with that and the bright blue contact lenses (meant to signify Irishness?), there are a couple Uncanny Valley moments in there, early on. But overall... great ode to mob movies. And there are people in it from basically every mob/crime film/series ever made. Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Godfather, GoodFellas, Mean Streets... aka Scorsese casting, but still: hard to find even a bit part that didn’t turn up in something else of note. Good stuff. |

Actually watched this on Saturday with the Mrs. Still holds up as not only one of John Hughes' best films but one of the best films of the 80s. |

but seriously, even though i dislike some of it at some levels (mostly ideological, same as groundhog day, maybe i’m just a jerk) it does have some memorable & hilarious moments, and john candy is great in it. |

Pesci was great, not so for Pacino or Graham. All in all, pretty good, though. |
pesci was dope. Irishman was fun.
|
DeNiro looks just like LBJ

Too wifey to a 30th anniversary screening of When Harry Met Sally. supa fun.

Scrooged, as I continue to somewhat slowly work my way through many variations of "A Christmas Carol" as per my tradition.

I thought he looked like Alec Baldwin. At least around the eyes (all Irish people have bright blue eyes I guess?) |
