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.

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.

First time using mute from the firehose. I feel old.

Which reminds me, watched The Automat and am now intensely curious to try Horn & Hardart coffee. #film #coffeewars

Out: Latte extra shot, or hammerhead/red eye. Cafe Cubano if available (not often).

Home: Trader Joe french roast cold brew concentrate with almond milk. #coffeewars

Watched The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean today. Sometimes an entertaining, but always a mess. #film

I prefer a legit thin-crust-deep-dish Chicago, but good New York is much easier to come by here.

Most recent pie? New Haven. #pizzawar

As a socal native, very hopeful at the end of the Chapek era.

Late to the game on Sleeping With Other People, but why isn't it more highly regarded? Great cast, smart script.

Airplane viewing continued: Nope.

While overall enjoyable, I didn't like it as much as Us, which while enjoyable I didn't like as much as Get Out.

Airplane viewing: Clerks III. A crude comedy hiding in ninety minutes of grief therapy.

On travel and wondering if daytime HBO was this bad before the merger.

Confess, Fletch is the sustainable version we deserve -- and that I fear we won't see more of.

HBO 11/22 Scorsese shorts ranked.

None are uninteresting, but it's no surprise that the personal subjects were the best.

#5. American Boy
#4. What's a Nice Girl Like You...
#3. The Big Shave
#2. It's Not Just You, Murray!

Continuing down the Scorsese short-film rabbit hole. Three down, two to go.

The Big Shave was terrific!

On the positive side of the new month, early short Scorsese films now on hbo. Yay, completism!

With options limited, ended up with 2003's UFO doc Out of the Blue, which failed the low bar of '70s In Search Of... watchability I craved for a Halloween close-out.
