My Week in Movies: August 2 - August 8
Aug. 9th, 2020 03:00 pmWe watched The Witcher Season 1 this week, which is very good if you can track the timelines. It's not made easier by the fact that Jaskier doesn't seem to age. They make *references* to him aging, but there's nothing really visible.
I've been playing Pillars of Eternity on my Mac and it's very good dungeon crawling fun. I'm still not quite where I need to be when it comes to controlling my spellslingers, though.
Movies I've seen before are in italics.
The Cars That Ate Paris (1974)
The Last Wave (1977)
Comic Book Confidential (1988)
A Knight's Tale (2001)
Destroy All Monsters (1968)
Gojira (1954)
Phantasm (1979)
Criterion Channel has a collection of Australian New Wave cinema which I'm gobbling up. The Cars That Ate Paris is a concept in search of a plot, but I generally liked it. I don't know if I fully understood The Last Wave. The ending appeared to be a dream but maybe it wasn't?
Comic Book Confidential is a documentary I used to watch as a kid before I was old enough to really understand the sections about underground comix. I have a new appreciation for it now.
I needed to be immobile in an awkward position for a time on Friday, so we watched A Knight's Tale since I could watch it sideways and still recognize it.
We also watched Destroy All Monsters in![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
sol_se's continuing Godzilla education. When I discovered she hadn't seen the original, that went on the docket the next day. It's a very different beast from the rest of the series.
Finally, while searching for something, anything to watch last night, we settled on Phantasm, mostly because I wanted sol_se to WTF a lot. It worked.
