Last Movie You Watched

[AnotherSpin]

I will watch this movie, it is on Prime here.

I'd also recommend reading about Walter Duranty — a Stalin apologist who denied the Holodomor in Ukraine — and the history of his Pulitzer Prize. You might start to see a thread connecting to some of today's admirers of the Kremlin's dictator.

There's also this very readable and full account, for anyone still unclear about events:



Excellent film BTW.

Robt Eggers' Nosferatu.

Now, the director's commentary.

[AnotherSpin]

Rewatched a classic movie with Gene Hackman. Ah, the golden days, when tough guys didn't bother calling scumbags to strike a deal — they just dealt with them, fast and hard. At least we can still remember.

Alien Romulus is IMO bad in another way. It is nostalgia bait. Decently made, but sterile and empty. Still entertaining.

I returned Nosferatu and The Marsh King's Daughter to the Library today. With expectations informed by your comment, I was curious enough to consider checking out Alien Romulus, but another patron has checked it out. Will I think/care to look it up again in future? Qui sait?
Separately, while it is not among my 75 best-loved movies, I remember mostly enjoying Beetlejuice. I was entirely cool to the news of a sequel. I saw both original and sequel at the Library, so I went ahead and checked both out. Will Report.

I thought the sequel was a little dull and forgettable. But it is still a decent movie. It didn't feel like just a cash grab.

I forgot (if ever I had marked) that Dick Cavett and Robt Goulet appear in Beetlejuice.

Speaking of Beetlejuice, have you seen the next installment Beetlejuice Beetlejuice? I haven't seen it yet, but I imagine it will be hard to top the first film.
