The Green Knight today. Arthurian films generally leave me cold, so this stagey, scrappy indie-budget execution made it more interesting than expected. #film

Zaslav is the new Chapek.

It did, however, explain why I know at least 20 women named Jennifer.

Today's #film was Love Story, a story more about a rich white man's problems than the relationship.

Tonight: GDT's Pinocchio. Dark, but never grim. Lets you see a familiar story with fresh eyes. #film

Looking for a dumb AIP-ish #film found 1971's The Vampire Happening on amazon. The title writes a check the broad, slow, sloppy comedy can't begin to cash.

Watched Red Rocket today. Not enough comeuppance for a lead basically modeled as an indie-#film Paul Snider.

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

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.

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
