What was the last TV show you watched?
I envy you Melissa, I wish I could watch it from scratch again! It's a great show... up until the last season, which goes WAY off the rails.- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
I watched it too. I thought it was pretty good, had a great cast, solid production values. I don't know that that final plot revelation makes much sense, though it was an enjoyable surprise. The actor who played Poe is Harry Melling. For those who can't place him, he was Dudley Dursley in...- Doctor Strange

Amsterdam
I thought it was good looking junk. I didn't believe a single thing in it. A great cast slumming in 30s drag. Another film allegedly set in the past but with oh-so-modern attitudes that are just wrong for the period. But then, I've hated nearly every film David O. Russell has directed, so...- Doctor Strange

Via HBO, the highly praised and likely Best Picture contender The Banshees of Inisherin. The story of a friendship gone terribly wrong between two men (Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson) on an Irish island in 1923, I thought it was good, but not great. It's a beautifully made, well acted...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
From TCM: the 1945 British film Vacation From Marriage (original British title: Perfect Strangers), with Deborah Kerr, Robert Donat, Ann Todd, and Glynis Johns, directed by Alexander Korda. A film about the effects of WWII service on people, which was no doubt an important concern at the time...- Doctor Strange

60 Years of Bond on Film
Melissa, I've been watching Bond movies since the 60s, but I'm not quite the dedicated fan that you are. I was pleasantly surprised by the unexpected end of No Time to Die. Here was James Bond finally making the sacrifice play for a worthy cause vs. skating away from disaster (see: Tony...- Doctor Strange

DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects
Actually, Edward, they were actively developing a new TV series earlier, in 76/77. When Star Wars (not yet called "Episode IV") exploded on the scene and changed the movie industry, Parmount quickly rejiggered the in-preproduction series into Star Trek: The Motion Picture. (And there are still...- Doctor Strange

Oh geez, Edward, you shouldn't have bothered. Wonder Woman 1984 is an unmitigated disaster, and all the worse because I really liked Wonder Woman - to my mind, it's the only one of the last decade of DC superhero films that was actually mostly good. (And with what's going on at Warners/DC now...- Doctor Strange

What was the last TV show you watched?
I'm recommending Showtime's George & Tammy miniseries based on the first half. Both Jessica Chastain and Michael Shannon are giving Emmy-worthy performances, and it's the rare musical biopic that isn't just a parade of the familiar cliches that were so well demolished by Walk Hard: The Dewey...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
On Netflix, the new stop-motion version of Pinnochio by Guillermo del Toro. This is NOT like the Walt Disney version (which we should recall also made major changes to the original 1800s serialized story, so it's hardly "definitive") but a completely different take. If you've seen Pan's...- Doctor Strange

Jerry & Marge Go Large (2022) - Interesting little flick set 15 years ago about a retiree and his wife (Bryan Cranston and Annette Bening) who exploit a weakness that he uncovers in the design of a national lottery to make a fortune.

Fading... You know, if I didn't read Edith Wharton back when I was an English major, there's no way I'm gonna read her now! The film was made in 2000. I mean, Merchant-Ivory alone had made over a half-dozen better period dramas by then. (*) Marty had already made The Age of Innocence. And...- Doctor Strange

FF, I just watched it last week. I've never read the novel, so this was my first exposure to the story. Frankly, I thought the film was a stiff. Mostly miscast, indifferently produced and shot, and largely dramatically inert. Several of these actors, to me, are just too contemporary to...- Doctor Strange

Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) on Showtime, with Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Kwan (yes, Short Round!), Jamie Lee Curtis, the great James Hong, etc. This is a way-strange film that I suspect makes more sense after a second viewing. It's essentially a multiverse-crisis martial arts comedy...- Doctor Strange

Of course, The Thing From Another World is a mega-classic that I've loved for 50+ years. A couple of quick notes: The film is based on "Who Goes There?" by John Campbell, a classic 40s SF magazine short story. (Campbell was actually more significant as an editor of those mags - guiding...- Doctor Strange

Another new film starring Florence Pugh (boy, she works a lot!) on Netflix, The Wonder. Pugh plays an English nurse in the 1860s who travels to Ireland to assist with the investigation of a seeming miracle, an 11-year-old girl who hasn't eaten in three months... but is somehow alive. The local...- Doctor Strange

Worf and Fading Fast... I watched Don't Worry Darling last night. An underwhelming flick that begins as The Stepford Wives and ends as The Matrix. Nothing in the story makes any logical sense if you think about it for a half-minute, nothing. But the film's pastel-1960 production design looks...- Doctor Strange
