    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Christine (2016), about the Florida newscaster who committed suicide on the air in 1974. Sad and very well done, with a tremendous performance by Rebecca Hall as the desperately unhappy and disturbed Christine Chubbuck.

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    There's an interesting piece on Mark Evanier's blog about how Landau had a budding career as a comic strip artist before he was an actor: http://www.newsfromme.com/

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Union Pacific, Cecil B. De Mille's epic western from "best Hollywood year ever", 1939, that's co-credited with reviving the western as a classy genre - it was released only two months after John Ford's Stagecoach. Uh... no. This one doesn't hold up. It is a watchable but not-good film. It's...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Room 237, about the making of Kubrick's The Shining, with assorted fanatics/experts explaining their crackpot theories of what it's "actually" about... These include the Holocaust, Kubrick's coded reveal that he had faked the Moon landing TV coverage for NASA, the genocide of Native Americans...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    A Most Violent Year - a recent film with Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain about a turf war between heating oil companies in 1981 NYC. Isaac's protagonist reminded me of Nucky on Boardwalk Empire: a businessman operating in a criminal environment who insists he's not a gangster and has his own...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The latest film by Pedro Almodovar, Julieta. A well-made and effective melodrama (based on Alice Munro stories)... but minus the reversals, shocks, bold production design, and flamboyant characters that usually mark his best work. It's a worthwhile story, just don't expect the typical...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Finished off season two of Master of None. A fascinating NYC-based dramedy series a la Louie. The episode "Thanksgiving" - wherein we watch the same family, close friends of protagonist Dev, at a dozen different Thanksgiving dinners over twenty years - was simply the best half-hour TV episode...

    Kangaroo jacket, Is it worth it?

    Obviously, I don't have a problem with costume jackets. I was never in the military myself - or on a motorcycle - so for me, they're pretty much all costume jackets!

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    As a lifelong Trekker back to 9/8/66, I keep up with what's going on. But I HATE the rebooted film series, which remove everything essential to Trek and leave a thin veneer of same-named characters in stupid action films. It's Trek for people who never liked Trek, don't respect science, think...

    The Neon Demon. Beautifully photographed incoherent garbage. Repellent.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The third film is no better, it's still a CGI-vomit action movie masquerading as a Star Trek film. The only sense it which it seems a bit more like Trek is that it takes place in deep space (not fighting a terrorist on Earth, which is awfully non-Trek) and the actors are a bit more comfortable...

    Kangaroo jacket, Is it worth it?

    I've had a Wested Raiders since 2003 and nobody's ever identified it as anything other than a brown leather jacket. Too much time spent among the experts here can give you the false sense that ordinary folk recognize classic jacket types, or somehow know military issue vs. film wardrobe... but...

    Another Powell & Pressburger masterpiece. And - something I only RARELY say - one of my all-time favorite films! Passengers. A not-bad SF flick with Chris Pratt, Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Sheen, and some seriously gorgeous production design.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Horns, wherein Daniel Radcliffe grows horns, attracts snakes, and acquires devilish powers while investigating the death of his girlfriend (Juno Temple), who everyone believes he murdered, even though there's no definitive evidence and he's released by the police... but blamed by everyone. This...

    Amelia Earhart May Have Survived Crash-Landing

    The images in that photo are much too vague to be considered definitive proof of anything. That guy looks a little like Fred Noonan, and the alleged Amelia's face isn't even visible. I choose to let the mystery be.

    Justified FX Hat

    He means current production of the Stetson hat, not the show.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I finished off the new season of Samurai Jack, which I'd DVR'd from Adult Swim when it premiered earlier this year. I was lucky to have had kids the correct age to steer me to the series on Cartoon Network when it originally aired 2001-2004, and I immediately adored it. I eventually got the...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Working my way through the second season of Master of None on Netflix. An excellent show.

    It is a masterpiece by Powell & Pressburger, no matter how you feel about ballet!
