old movie night: Nosferatu was vetoed for possibly being too scary by youngest.
Robin Hood
Flynn does multiple 3-4 meter drops from trees, parapets, vines, and springs up with a shit-eating grin. fights are sensational and plentiful, and the stunts! it really looks like these extras were being shot with arrows (they were)
cheesy jokes still landed for me. fighting John Little on the log bridge was hilarious. thereâs a dull bit about 70% through while Olivia de Havilland and Errol Flynn develop their romance.
afterwards we watched the trailers for Prince of Thieves and then Men in Tights, âfor when youâre olderâ. eldest already though Men in Tights looked hilarious

My kidsâ surrogate grandmother sent my newly minted 12 year old a birthday card with a donkey in sunglasses that said <<< SMART ASS and he laughed his ass off for like a minute straight

Cuckoo was OK. I think if you saw the trailer and know anything about birds, you can figure out the plot pretty quick, though I would have never guessed how many scenes of monster women with cum on their hands would be in this thing.

Now Iâm curious about whether there are any other movies where ornithological knowledge created spoilers

@gimelrey made me watch borderlands as punishment for laziness. I played very little of the game, but it felt like an unfaithful adaptation if only because it wasnât a loot and crafting oriented grindfest. The scene where the soldier heroically makes a stand alone shouldnât have been offscreen but should have been him kiting the enemies a few at a time from a jankey AI pathfinding error position for 20 minutes. They should have had a recurring joke about guns having slightly different names and abilities despite looking like the same thing. There should have been 100% less shimmeying along ledges as that didnât feature in the game at all. Otherwise I am growing surprisingly numb to media that is a movie in the vaguest structural sense only and basically donât care enough to get upset by it anymore.

I dunno about ornithology, but I have heard that the early scenes of The Thing get spoiled (if not by cultural osmosis of having been around for 40 years) if you know Norwegian and understand what the guys in the helicopter are yelling.

I finally got around to seeing that adaptation of âThe Autopsyâ last night. I thought it was pretty good, but I probably wonât bother watching anything else from the series since everyone says thatâs the clear standout episode.
Now Iâll just wait for the faithful In Yana adaptation that has the budget of a Marvel Comics movie.
(Actually, I would guess that if any of Sheaâs novels ever got adapted it would be The Extra.)

Watched LonglegsâŚit was OK. I think I liked a lot of the shot composition and whatnot more than the movie itself. It starts super creepy, goes kinda heavy handed with the psychic FBI agent stuff, then in the last act just spirals into it was magic satanic dolls that convinced men to kill their families.
Itâs⌠I dunno, I guess it goes places.
Anyway I will always root for Maika Monroe (reminds me theyâre still making that sequel to It Follows), though maybe the most eerie performance is that kid from the Netflix Sabrina show. Her character isnât in it for long but goddamn sheâs good at being deeply unsettling.
Also burying the lede I guess but yeah, Nicolas Cage is alright.

Not only a tremendous movie in its own right, probably the only good serious lawyer movie (the only other decent one is My Cousin Vinnie)

Watched Suspiria for the first time. Textually I found it kinda spare but it was a visual and audio experience. Many shots and scenes kinda made me relive killer7 in my head.
The original 1977 film that is.

Havenât been logging anything on letterboxd lately because I have a zine to write hanging over my head, but I did finally wrap the Pumpkinman collection on Halloween night with the brand new legacy sequel. It totally recognized the inadvertent family movie nature of the previous backyard SOV movies in the series and seems to be about the director coming to grips with his breakup with his costar while also being a love letter to David the Rock Nelson. A+
