Watching a guy run down a long room and going "wow! this is an expensive movie!!"

People love to say that Doctor Dolittle is so bad that it killed Rex Harrison's film career, nearly ended movie musicals, and almost bankrupted 20th Century Fox. All of these things are true

There's a scene in Doctor Dolittle where he sings a love song to a seal

Sometimes a film will make you reanalyze your entire life and what led you up to this moment where you saw these images

It's so funny to read about an old movie with a disastrous production because it'll be like "the budget ballooned to $15 million"

RIP Tatsuya Nakadai, one of the best actors

Are the boys streaming today

Million Dollar Mystery is basically like what if there was a version of It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World or Rat Race where the most famous guy in it is the dad from Happy Days

You used to be able to go to your local theater and see a film like this on a beautiful 35mm print. But no more

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World is a genre of movie but it's weird that some guy who primarily made stodgy oscar-bait type movies invented the genre with no real buildup or precursors

Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein is the movie that everybody is calling "just okay"

This is not a bit, because I do think the way that Burton moves a camera is much more interesting than Del Toro. Del Toro moves the camera in almost every shot in the way that television sometimes does, but Burton reframes, turns it into a point-of-view, follows, etc.

Some pedant on Letterboxd keeps changing the title of "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein" to "Bud Abbott and Lou Costello Meet Frankenstein"

The prequel

The problem with adapting Frankenstein is it kind of is a footnote that anybody played the monster after Boris Karloff

Remember Trap? What a picture. Movie of the decade.

If the Hollywood Theatre cared about movies they would've screened Trap on 35mm

Just got into what looks like the final screening of Frankenstein on 35mm at the Hollywood. What's weird is the movie was shot digitally

UPDATE: his friend woke me up at 5am to ask if I had any Tylenol

My roommate loves to text me after 10pm and say "hey I have a friend who's gonna stay in the living room tonight"

Gorgeous! Can’t wait to get this framed!! Also this was only like $15

Customer told me that she only likes Pink Floyd pre-Dark Side of the Moon

One of my friends told me I should set up a dating profile where my answer to every prompt is about or related to The Beach Boys

Everybody is impressed at my ability to recall in minute detail many events that occur in Christmas With The Kranks, a film I saw one time 6 years ago

Saw a theater marquee for Badlands and got excited about a screening of the Terrence Malick before I realized it was Predator: Badlands

Looks like Letterboxd is down. In its absence I'm offering up any movie opinions you could want

Chris Columbus isn't what made Gremlins good. Besides, he should be letting me work on a legacy sequel to Christmas With The Kranks

Gonna steal this someday (from Bodyguard)

Fleischer has such aptitude for suspense that it's weird it took him 25 years to direct a horror movie. But I guess directors don't really choose their careers

All of the tiktok speak online is dumb but “ahh” annoys me so much. Just say “ass”!

You ever think about how in a movie when characters are at, say for instance, a baseball game the baseball game was shot at a different time than the actors

Something I've discovered is that everybody who watches a bunch of old Hollywood movies has one random journeyman director they just love. Who knows why this is

Brutal. I recommended Little Italy (2018) to somebody and they didn’t like it

They’re only showing trailers for movies old people like in front of the movie about Lorenz Hart

It’s so cool when you’re the only person in the theater

Damn, so the guy from Weezer lost out on being New York's mayor

The Beach Boys podcast I listen to is doing a "best of the '80s" episode and one of the co-hosts called the '80s material "a curse from the devil." Can't wait until they get to the '90s!

Now who's gonna check the popular knapsack with many different locations for something as simple as a used crack pipe

I’m hearing from a very reliable source that Matt Farley loved this film:

I’m hearing word that Ghosface is hot. I disagreed, but was told I’m wrong. Does anybody else think that Ghostface is hot

After I've had four beers I just put on Abbott and Costello and it just makes me feel good that they found each other because they seem so different

There’s not one moment in Halloween With The Kranks where somebody goes “didn’t this happen 20 years ago with Christmas instead?” It is never once acknowledged

Instead of the umbrella scene at the market, Luther Krank goes to Spirit Halloween and gets a bucket of fake blood dumped on him, which seals his hatred of the holiday

Sitting alone in my house thinking about Halloween With The Kranks and laughing

A 20 years later sequel to Christmas With The Kranks has so much potential. And by “potential” I mean it should be a near scene-for-scene recreation of the first film

The guy who directed Christmas with the Kranks is the guy responsible for changing the title of The Exorcist III to “The Exorcist III” and adding an exorcism to the movie
