Did humans dream-of-a-thousand-cats the dinosaurs into small birds we fry and eat as nuggets?

Seeing this ad too often:

Virgin Voyages, the swingy dinghy?

Does every neighborhood in America have one guy with the alarm-trippingly loud motorcycle? Are they a secret society?

It was more like a Chainmail movie, amirite.

Basically enjoyed the leaning-into-camp tone of D&D:HAT, but the combat needed to run at x1.5 speed. #film

I aways thought that if I ever ran into Lance Reddick somewhere I could give a little salute and say "Lieutenant." but now I never will and it bothers me.

Enjoyed TÁR more than most award-baiting character studies of complex, sympathetic monsters.

I'll be sad if Blanchett beats Yeoh for the Oscar, but I'll be able to live with it.

Hearing the name of an unfamiliar NPR show always makes me imagine the day-to-day life circumstances of their target audience.

A large plurality of Americans need to interrogate their desire to toady for any like-minded bully who comes along.

Good cast, enjoyed their chemistry, but there's too many to service in a film. Would've been a better TV series than maybe half the Marvel shows so far.

Tepid reviews put me off watching Eternals until now. Turned out to be better than a lot of MCU phase 4, plus the bonus of seeing one of Kirby's wilder concepts on screen. #film #cosofilm #mcu

Tonight's #film was Birdman.

An inside-showbiz story with more on its mind than hubris and redemption, this is a playful, worthy best picture winner that looks better with age. Really happy I finally got to this.

Watched "The Wild Ride" a dull 1960 teensploitation #film clocking in at 57 minutes and containing 20 minutes of story. Notable only for a very early Nicholson performance as the leader of a hot rod gang. #cosofilm

Today's #film, Margin Call.

Picking this cast to embody the human cost of investment-brokering chicanery is too much weight to carry for an otherwise lean, solid dramatization of 2008.

...vs. Space Godzilla

An also-ran foe in a forgettable entry. Mechagodzilla is a superior doppleganger in every way.

...vs Destoroyah

The era closes in a serviceable, semi-final form of Godzilla's meltdown and succession that lays down the blueprint for the (slightly) more serious millennium era.

Watched: Godzilla vs: Mechagodzilla2: An overlong, so-so undercard with Rodan and Minilla 2.0 lowers expectations for what becomes a very good title fight with the enhanced Mechagodzilla that's a Super Sentai battle at XXL scale.

I ran across Author: The JT Leroy story on Amazon last night. I'm shocked that I never heard of Leroy at the time of their fame.

A natural double-bill with Catfish, it's a fascinating portrait of an unrepentant fraud and a decades-long cry for help.

Weird month, few things I needed to see expiring from my streams today. Looking forward to making the february to-do list tomorrow.

Today's #film:The Menu.

I wanted to like this more than I did. Both sides of the pass are terribly underfed in an environment ripe for a good FAFO midsommar-ing.

#cosofilm

Lawrence of Arabia tonight.

Epic scale and beautiful throughout, the characters start getting lost after intermission.

Glad I finally got to it, though.
