Watched The Go-Gos doc tonight. Solid history, a ton I'd never seen before (thanks for withholding, snl...) and enough positive stories about drug abuse to equal the first act of Trainspotting. #film

@MovieNights Yes, 2021. Didn't realize there were multiples.

saw Cusp tonight. An observational doc of painful
honesty, you will remember it. #film

* When they're not fabricating footage in controlled conditions or chucking lemmings off a cliff. #whitewilderness.

Saturday #film doc: Secrets of Life, '56. Disney's 50s true-lifes hold up favorably* with modern nature docs. This overview is no exception, and includes a genuinely impressive opening segment on...plants.

@kutless Unnecessary, leans too hard on callbacks, but essentially inoffensive.

Surprised how Cobra Kai it was with finding jobs for the surviving original cast. Always glad to see Red Dog get some work. #film

Sooner or later I knew I'd watch A Christmas Story Christmas. Too much affection for the first one to resist it.

De Palma today. A fairly unspectacular overview, lacking the expected 2-3 omg moments from a career retrospective. #film

One month of coso is already in the books. I like it here.

Absolutely enjoying the heck out of Meet Me in the Bathroom. The archive footage they found is transportive to the era. #film

TIL volcanic eruption health advisory jargon. It's wild that's a thing.

Tonight was American Gigolo, and Bill Duke with hair had a real early-DS9 vibe. #film

I wondered if seeing the Documentary Now! take before viewing The Kid Stays in the Picture would spoil it, but every bit of the inside baseball auto-fluffing egomania lands square. #film

Watched Under the Volcano. Similar to The Man Who Would Be King, a #film I found much more fun, Volcano is old-hollywood material given new-hollywood flourishes. Not uninteresting, but a little overrated.

Black friday $2 Showtime deal led to some #films on my to-do list.

First up, a long overdue rewatch of The Sting. Not nearly as close to Butch & Sundance as I remembered.

@rleebyers And the style model for Euphoria, for better and worse.

I'm on team #film, since it's shorter, but I'm willing to change to #movies since it's more specific.

Looking for an adequate holiday time-waster?
People We Hate at the Wedding is not up to that task.
