What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Street Scene (1931) - an enjoyable antique, based on a hit play, about 24 hours in front of a crowded NYC tenement, with a host of familiar character actors as its denizens. It's your basic New York melting pot story: Italian, Jewish, and Irish (etc.) families all bouncing off each other...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
On Netflix, The Land of Steady Habits, the new film by Nicole Holofcener. I have really enjoyed most of Holofcener's earlier features - Lovely & Amazing, Friends With Money, Please Give, Enough Said - and her writing/directing of well-nuanced, contemporary stories generally laser-focused on...- Doctor Strange

Have you ever bumped into people from past & realized how little/much has changed.
My observation for many years now has been that, despite our culture's insistent mantra of CHANGE - YOU MUST GROW AND CHANGE AND BE THE BEST PERSON YOU CAN BE!... most people don't really change. Their circumstances change - married/divorced, wealthy/broke, healthy/infirm, employed/retired...- Doctor Strange

You know you are getting old when:
I have decidedly mixed feelings about traditional photography vs. digital imaging, which I consider two distinct and similar - but different - disciplines. As many here may recall, I grew up working in my parents commercial photo biz in the 60s/70s. Old school photography was central to my...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Wow, lots of quick responses to make: Edward, I've seen Robin Hood. It's awful, just totally misconceived... but I think Crowe is merely bad in it. Whereas he's epically, embarrassingly bad in The Mummy and Winter's Tale. (And for the record, he's capable of very good performances too, I've...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Of course we all prefer The Wolf Man! I have loved the old Universal horror flicks ever since I was obsessed with them as a little kid. I've owned a 16mm print of Bride of Frankenstein since around 1980, and have lots of the others on VHS/DVD. I used to call myself a giant horror movie fan...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Yes, of course I'm aware. I saw all those films. But at the time, they weren't trying to emulate Marvel's success and nobody was talking about universes. It wasn't like another studio had succeeded at such a grandiose plan. Now Universal, like Warners/DC, is finding that getting a successful...- Doctor Strange

Recent double feature on demand last night: The Mummy - Universal's second botched attempt to set up their "Dark Universe" of interrelated films a la the Marvel Cinematic Universe based on the old Universal Monsters (following the botched Dracula Untold). Wow, this is a pretty terrible film...- Doctor Strange

What was the last TV show you watched?
I'm recording The Miniaturist to binge after it finishes airing. Obviously, it's gorgeous, but how is it dramatically? I'm curious to see if it's a wonderful story of that period a la Girl With A Pearl Earring... or just beautifully made junk set at that time like Tulip Fever.- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Dawson City: Frozen Time - a recent documentary partly about the Klondike Gold Rush and the history of the titular community... and also about a trove of hundreds of reels of silent films (re)discovered there in 1978. Because Dawson City, which had three movie theaters at one point, was at...- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Wow, I don't see how you could come to that conclusion. McAdams is finally pregnant, and can do exactly what's expected of her: survive the scandal as the devoted wife of the newly senior rabbi, a privileged position within that insular community. Or she can follow Weisz (who she's always...- Doctor Strange

Aladdin is surely very entertaining, Trenchfriend... but it's a bit soon to be snarking about VHS cassettes as antiques. You know, some of us were already collecting classic Disney films long before VHS was invented! These 16mm prints are now legit antiques.- Doctor Strange

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Fading, I watched this last night and liked it a bit more than you did. Rachel Weisz actually IS 9 years older than Rachel McAdams, but I think they also wanted her to look older because she had "lived" more, being buffeted by the vagaries of life beyond this very sheltered Orthodox...- Doctor Strange

Worst Marx Brothers Movie??
Gotta agree: it's all downhill really fast after the Paramount films. A Night at the Opera is the only one of their M-G-M films I can stand to watch these days... and sadly, since as Lizzie said, it misguidedly set the template that sank them.- Doctor Strange

How it feels and drapes - soft or hard, smooth or fuzzy, etc. Around here, the term is more typically used for things like jacket leather than hat felt.- Doctor Strange

I detested that film when it was new, have never rewatched it, and will never watch it again. Part of it is my distaste for/disinterest in Streisand, whose talent I recognize and respect... but I have just never liked her singing. Or acting, for that matter. And as noted, the movie is a mess...- Doctor Strange
