Day 12 #FavoriteMovie #MovieChallenge #Moviesky #Filmsky Favorite animated film Flow (2024) Director: Gints Zilbalodis I walked into this one blind. I remember asking myself, “Am I watching a masterpiece?”and answering yes. No dialogue.

Day 11 #FavoriteMovie #MovieChallenge #Moviesky #Filmsky A film with an uncomfortable moment 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) Director: Stanley Kubrick The moment when HAL reads lips. Still creeps me out!

Day 10 #FavoriteMovie #MovieChallenge #Moviesky #Filmsky A film that brings the good feels A Hard Days Night (1964) Director: Richard Lester Innocent Beatlemania. Silliness and quick wits. Oh, and there’s the music too.

Day 9 #FavoriteMovie #MovieChallenge #Moviesky #Filmsky A film I’ll never watch again Zone of Interest (2023) Director : Jonathan Glazer It’s one of those movies where one recognizes the brilliance but it is so harrowing that you’ll not watch it again.

Wow!

Day 8 #FavoriteMovie #MovieChallenge #Moviesky #Filmsky A film with animals as the main characters Babe (1995) Director: Chris Noonan I just rewatched this the other day. As good as I remember

Day 7 #FavoriteMovie #MovieChallenge #Moviesky #Filmsky Favorite Sequel Aliens (1987) Director: James Cameron So many quotable lines…. “Drake! We are leaving!”

Day 6 #FavoriteMovie #MovieChallenge #Moviesky #Filmsky A film I didn’t expect to enjoy Three O’Clock High (1987) Director: Phil Jouanou A meh ‘80’s high school comedy. But the slapstick element won me over on first viewing

Day 5 #FavoriteMovie #MovieChallenge #Moviesky #Filmsky A film everyone needs to watch Another hard category. What makes a film indispensable? After some consideration, it’s this one, just for the humanity on display Tokyo Story (1953) Director: Yasujiro Ozu

Day 4 #FavoriteMovie #MovieChallenge #Moviesky #Filmsky Revenge Three Colors: White (1994) Director: Krzysztof Kieślowski The 2nd part of the Three Colors tragedy, it’s been described as an anti-comedy. Long due for a rewatch

Day 3 A film that always makes me laugh #FavoriteMovie #MovieChallenge This is hard category for me. Do I go with a classic, a short or something more recent. Plus I’m an easy laugher… Young Frankenstein (1974) I may have also had a crush on Teri Garr

Day 2 Film based on a book #FavoriteMovie #MovieChallenge True Grit (1969, 2010) - both films are fun to watch in their own way. But the book by Charles Portis is well worth the read.

Day 1 Love Story #FavoriteMovie #MovieChallenge It might be Amelie. It’s got magic going on inside of this film.

I guess this might be a problem for Chicago

Listening to Mary Margaret O’Hara’s “Miss America” again. Man, that album was way ahead of its time. Masterful!

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. hard mode: no star wars, star trek, lotr, dc, marvel, disney, pixar, dreamworks, spielberg, cameron, wachowskis, or ghibli.

I’m currently listening to Mary Lou Williams’ “Zodiac Suite” and all is right with the world.

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

No, “@tylerperry3547,” you’re not the official Tyler Perry fan page.

We have to see the logic of the killings as well as the killings themselves. The horror is a truth in itself. But it is also a sign of a political logic, one known from the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century. snyder.substack.com/p/lies-and-l...

Coming up with my annual list of “music that hit me hard” is proving really difficult this year. There was just too much music that came out this year.

It’s amazing what a small piece of chocolate and some music can do for one’s general mood

If you see this post a monster.

Run, Charlie Brown. Show us the meaning of haste.

As a Blue Jays fan, I kind of want Detroit to win this game. A highway 401 series has a nice ring to it. But I also wouldn’t mind if Seattle won. A battle of the ‘77 AL expansion teams would be cool

On June 27, 2024, Joe Biden gave the worst debate performance in history. And then it became my job, as a DC reporter, to foster conventional wisdom that a feeble president with sane policies was surely worse than an energetic president with racist, economically incompetent, kleptocratic policies.

May the forth bewitch you!

The trilliums have this tulip surrounded. I’m taking it as a sign. Elbows up

I say this every time de-extinction comes up: it makes no sense to devote science to bringing back extinct animals when we can’t be bothered to keep extant ones alive in the first place.
