My Two Weeks in Movies: November 3 - 16
Nov. 18th, 2019 03:12 pmI was in Phoenix with ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
sol_se when last week's post would have gone up, so I saved up my movies for one mega-post today (which is also a day late oops).
Movies in italics are ones I've seen before.
The Harvey Girls (1946)
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954)
The Band Wagon (1953)
On the Town (1949)
The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)
Ghost in the Shell (1995)
Cinematic Titanic: Legacy of Blood (withsol_se and Mom)
Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla (2002) (withsol_se)
Cinematic Titanic: The Wasp Woman (withsol_se and Mom)
Frozen (2013)
The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (1949)
Charlie's Angels (2019) (withelipie, kuwdora, and others)
Falling Inn Love (2019) (withsol_se)
The Last Detail (1973)
For the time I wasn't in Phoenix, my viewing was largely dominated by either Criterion Channel's MGM Musicals collection or my new Disney+ subscription (yes I'm also watching The Mandalorian). I was also watching a lot of Desert Bus, an annual internet telethon raising money for Child's Play charity.
The Adventures of Robin Hood and Ghost in the Shell made for a curious double feature when I was stuck in Burbank airport for several more hours than intended. I had to go with whatever was on my iPad at the time and these were it. The first was acquired as a parting gift from Filmstruck when they shut down. The latter was source for my robots vid that was never clipped or used.
The new Charlie's Angels is charming AF. If Disaster Gay is Kristen Stewart's new archetype, I'm all for it. Bring it on.
I'm a sucker for a dopey and formulaic romantic comedy, so sometimessol_se and I will watch something along those lines for our date night. It has to be, like, Hallmark movie level, though, with just the faintest hint of name actors (if there are any names at all). Falling Inn Love fit the bill perfectly.
The Last Detail took me, like, two weeks to watch in fits and spurts, with a whole Phoenix vacation in the middle. I wanted to watch it because it has, for my money, a great iconic plot: one last hurrah before going away from civilization (in this case, to Naval prison). I'm pretty sure Stargate SG-1 had a similar episode. I have a lot of trouble with Jack Nicholson though, even if he is directed by Hal Ashby. I finally made it through, though. It's not really my kind of movie, I guess.
