My Week in Movies: July 5 - July 11
Jul. 12th, 2020 01:37 pmIt's been quite a week! ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
sol_se registered her car in California. We put together an exercise bike she got for her early birthday. I watched the John Wick movies for the first time. We also finished Avatar: The Last Airbender (so good!).
Movies I've seen before are in italics.
Hamilton (2020)
MST3K: Manos the Hands of Fate
The Third Man (1949)
Zodiac (2007)
John Wick (2014)
John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017)
John Wick: Chapter 3 (2019)
I watched Hamilton a second time while bored at work. So good. Cried again.
sol_se had never seen Manos, so that had to happen. So bizarre, so uncomfortable, such a rich tapestry of riffing.
I didn't feel like watching more Legend of Korra (I'm having a hard time finding an "in" for the series, but I also struggled with Season 1 of Avatar), so we switched to what may be my favorite film of all time, The Third Man. I picked up a new detail this time: Alida Valli's character is wearing pajamas monogrammed HL -- Harry Lime.
After watching a docuseries on the Zodiac Killer, sol_se was in the mood to watch David Fincher's Zodiac, which i had never seen. It's a very good movie, although I found myself frustrated with Jake Gyllenhaal's character frequently.
Continuing the trend of sol_se showing me cool stuff, we watched the whole John Wick series between Friday and Saturday. I liked them a lot, although I found the violence level to get more oppressive with each passing film. By the end of the third, which I liked a lot, I was hoping that there wouldn't be a fourth, because I'm not sure I could take it. My favorite of the three was probably the first.
