New Isaac Florentine screener let's go

Rewatching Mad Men for only the first time since it aired. Obviously a pantheon show and even richer on a second pass, but honestly my favorite part is how Roger calls him "Teddy Chow-guh-guh." Also fuck Pete.

I have now heard at least two other stories about these guys not paying up on time.

Splurged on a Mini PC specifically for watching screeners so I don't have to keep connecting and disconnecting my laptop to the TV all the dang time, and I feel really good about this choice.

Absolutely insanely great interview with the legendary Jack Fisk on Big Picture pod this week.

My lukewarm take on this is that it's interesting how someone can now to go in to Star Wars essentially cold and not really understand the clear starting point because there's so much extraneous slop. Is this proof that it's ruined forever or just that it's a relic?

"Kubrick was not a surrealist!" is a new one

Should have expected but was still very bored by the big twist on last night's Seven Kingdoms. I was enjoying this little story, hopefully it's not gonna turn into another dumb Game of Thrones thing.

Going to see Mulaney tonight at the Paramount, should be a fun time.

Because I have free and unfettered access to Scarecrow I pretty much never buy stuff. My physical media collection is paltry by cinephile standards. But I did just cough up for the Arrow HARD BOILED and EXCALIBUR. Had to do it.

For homework purposes revisiting FIRE OF LOVE, easily in my top five of this decade so far, if not top three.

Tonight's good work

Have to (very gladly) rewatch THE RIGHT STUFF for homework purposes and like how the heck is there no 4K?

The best thing my YouTube algorithm has put in front of me in weeks. Two bangers.

I always knew me and Ben Kingsley had a bunch in common

I chopped off the tip of my thumb just barely above the bone on Thanksgiving and it's finally almost all the way grown back, very exciting.

Wonder Man is really good! I'm as surprised as anyone.

Watching ASSASSIN'S CREED for homework purposes and, like, what the fuck is this shit

For homework purposes I am rewatching SERENITY (2019). Still find it insufficiently nuts!

To celebrate the big news, here's our latest episode, @whateverokay.bsky.social covers the second in a series of VENGEANCE IS MINEs, and @colonelmortimer.bsky.social steps into THE HOUSE OF MIRTH. And our dog movie this time is Jim Henson's Dog City (1989)! youtu.be/5kSoUHfb_jg?...

Rewatched BLACK PANTHER, which remains pretty damn good. Coogler totally not even bothering to pretend to smuggle -- in a MCU entry no less -- remains a miracle. He really got away with it, thank goodness. I dunno, I think he's got a real future.

I am very excited for my screening of the hopefully 5 star 3 star CRIME 101 next week.

Very surprised to find myself really really liking Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.

I am embargoed from telling you that I am fully in the tank for For All Mankind and there's another very good season on the way.

Sick game

Seahawks

I just really fuckin hate football man

Yes, good.

Is that Peyton Manning from the motion pictue IS THIS THING ON?

I would give anything to be able to do that gibberish fake Italian shtick that Carl Reiner and Bill Hader can do.

There are simply too damn many things in the Mel Brooks doc that are choking me up.

The GOAT Khandi Alexander turning up on Abbott Elementary pleases me very much.

Nice to see Michael Nouri on The Pitt tonight

Caught up with PILLION, which would have made my top 10 had I seen it in a more timely fashion.

Birth of a Nation with Big Naturals Close Encounters of the Third Kind with Big Naturals Do the Right Thing with Big Naturals Superman Returns with Big Naturals The Thing with Big Naturals Psycho with Big Naturals Lost in America with Big Naturals Home Alone with Big Naturals

I am exercising an incredible amount of restraint in saving the For All Mankind screeners to watch with my wife this weekend.

Easy as (episode) 1 2 3! First RvR of the year is THE NIGHT BEFORE vs. GET OVER IT, @whateverokay.bsky.social recommends 1984's VENGEANCE IS MINE (more VIM to come?), and @colonelmortimer.bsky.social talks up Gregory Peck western BIG COUNTRY. 📼 subscribe, like, comment, and viva physical media!

Good night everybody

I would never try to tell you it's good, because it isn't. But Albert Pyun would have loved MERCY.

Rewatching THE TOWN in light of THE RIP. Renner is objectively terrific in this but sincerely asking: is it better if it's Damon? The movie is already GOOD WILL HUNTING but bank robbers. It's very good in any case. Just spitballing.

I've been embarking on an ER rewatch and news to nobody but Mimi Leder deserved a long career making action movies. I'm glad she has had a lucrative run in TV for a long time now -- especially getting that bag on Morning Show -- but still. Go watch THE PEACEMAKER. That is all.

I have no heavy affection for Game of Thrones and couldn't make it through more than a few episodes of House of the Dragon so I am surprised to say that the Knight of the Seven Kingdoms premiere was very good.

Landman doing its SCDP Mad Men S3 finale, fun stuff.

I really enjoy football

Go Seahawks Fuck ICE
