jetpack_monkeyI was off at TGIF/F last weekend (wonderful time, I miss everybody already), so we're getting a double decker this week. Also, apropos of nothing, but I just voted for Elizabeth Warren yesterday. It's a good feeling.
Movies I've seen before are in italics.
John Mulaney: New in Town (2012)
Killer's Kiss (1955)
Some Like It Hot (1959)
Sweet Smell of Success (1957)
Local Hero (1983)
John Mulaney: Kid Gorgeous at Radio City (2018)
D.E.B.S. (2004) @ TGIF/F
Charlie's Angels (2019) @ TGIF/F
Desert Hearts (1985)
Godzilla (2014)
Godzilla: King of Monsters (2019) (birthday present fromsol_se!)
Ride the High Country (1962)
The Relic (1997) w/sol_se
Killer's Kiss is an early Stanley Kubrick film. He hadn't quite found his legs yet and it's not nearly as polished as his next film, The Killing.
Some Like It Hot is so good. It really is one of the best comedies of all time. Criterion Channel has it up right now as a special edition, so there were a lot of featurettes for me to watch, including an extended talk with Tony Curtis.
I had an idea of what Sweet Smell of Success was, but I was absolutely wrong. It's a kind of noirish, a deep delve into the seedy world of New York publicity. This is actually the first time I've seen Burt Lancaster in anything and I was quite taken.
I found Local Hero endearing, especially the very young Peter Capaldi.
I was promised ridiculousness and D.E.B.S. did not disappoint.
The end of TGIF/F had me missing all my very gay friends, so I watched Desert Hearts in honor of them. It's a story of two women who find something together in 1950s Nevada. I liked it!
sol_se bought me Godzilla: King of Monsters for my birthday, so I rented the 2014 Godzilla and made a double feature of it. They're both very fun giant monster movies, although my heart will always be with rubber suits over CGI. Still, it's exciting to see Godzilla-Ghidorah-Rodan-Mothra fighting action.
I picked up Ride the High Country from the swap table at the last Vividcon and finally got around to watching it. I'm not a huge fan of westerns, but this was a solid film with great performances.
The Relic is very stupid and very confusing and basically perfect fodder for the Saturdaysol_se date.
