    If you haven't seen it, The Death of Stalin is fantastic and reminded me quite a bit of Dr. Strangelove in its ability to parody the insanity of government while somehow not straying too far from reality.

    Wanted to love it, but given the prism of time, I wasn't smitten. If it'd been a bit more contemporary, I think I would've been more into it.

    Finally got around to watching Stalker. Damn.

    Tarkovsky is amazing. Watch Andrei Rublev if you have 3 1/2 hours to kill.

    Has anyone else noticed a dearth of good commercial movies lately? maybe its just me.

    I saw the green book recently. pretty good, a little uneven towards the end. entertaining though.

    Gotta see it again now that it's in IMAX nearby.
    Saw it yesterday at an IMAX. Very intense!

    Nobody has seen Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse yet? Everything I've heard is awesome but haven't made it yet.

    I'm pretty much over super hero movies. They're fun and all, but there's so many of them now, it's hard to care when a new one comes out. As an example... I'm pretty sure I've seen this one, but I can't remember what it's about exactly.

    Best superhero movies ever IMO were the Dark Knight series, especially The Dark Knight. Heath Ledger was amazing, best bad guy EVER. All the Batman movies since have sucked.



    Jared Leto's Joker was pretty dang good too. Aren't they giving him his own movie?

    I like TCM, always finding movies good movies I've never seen.

    "Criminal Code", with (a young) Walter Houston (DA then Warden) and Boris Karloff (the Con) 1931

    " The Eagle and the Hawk" Fredric March & Cary Grant, WWI flying , 1933

    Grant also made my favorite airline movie, "Only Angels have Wings"

    Just revisited a film from 1994.
    Three Colours: White
    It has held up quite well.

    Fighting With My Family is a unexpectedly good biopic of a young lady from England rising to stardom in the WWE. An interesting view into a world most folks, including myself, never think about.

    I am deeply biased toward an animated version of Spidey. He came around when I was in Jr High. I stuck with the drawn likeness.
