General movie discussion

[DrunkonDuty]

The screwball comedies of the 1930s were so popular in part because during the Great Depression laughing at the comedic follies of the rich was immensely cathartic.

Absolutely! Watching Groucho Marx take the piss out of Margret Dumont is always so much fun.

Have you seen Once Upon a Time in the West?

I have! Though I don't love it in the same way.

I should revisit it one day soon.

Went and saw Everything Everywhere All at Once this past Saturday night. It was excellent. Great absurdist sci-fi kung fu parallel reality sci-fi family drama with heart. Michelle Yeoh remains everything I could ask for. Stephanie Hsu and Ke Huy Quan were outstanding. The rest of the supporting cast were great too. Jamie Lee Curtis really taking it over the top, and James Hong always wonderful to see.

So, for those of you who didn't get to see The Batman in the theaters, here is your reminder that it launches on HBO Max ....

TODAY! That's right, it's streaming today.

The last full length movie I watched was Ghostbusters Afterlife (and that was in theaters). Prior to that was Wonder Woman 84 (on HBO Max) - which I was going to turn off but ended up finishing it because my wife was having fun laughing at it.
I did watch Love & Mercy (the biopic about the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson). His story really connected to me, so I'm glad I watched it.
So I've probably watched three feature films in the past two years.
I just don't have the motivation or attention anymore to watch movies like I used to. (And I used to be a film librarian, so that's saying something.)

Well, I agree.

....which is a problem for the theaters....


(Now, the exception to this is "the youths." In my area, it's still a place to hang out, go on dates, etc.)
