Man, big movie weekend for me. Got tickets to the fun-looking new Terminator movie Friday night. Then headed to north Philly for The Lighthouse and Parasite on Saturday. Sunday sees my first trek to Rehoboth and its film festival for two movies, with four more to go throughout next week. Weeeee.

Going to my first movie since Fantastical Beasts, Ford vs Ferrari looks too good to pass up.

Going to my first movie since Fantastical Beasts, Ford vs Ferrari looks too good to pass up. My bros and I kept laughing at their pronunciation of Le Mans. If you like this one, check out “Les Mans”, starring Steve McQueen.

Going to see Doctor Sleep in a minute, and the screen I’m watching on has two levels. Normal screens have rows A-H, this screen has rows A-N.

I'm on a WW2 bender right now, v9733xa can I get some WW2 recommendations?! Something brief you don't need to write a big paragraph for everything. I'm okay with artistic liberties but I'd like to avoid complete fiction like Inglorious Bastards. And I've seen and don't need listed: Saving Private Ryan, Dunkirk, Pearl Harbor, Imitation Game, and that Gary Oldman Churchill thing.

Oooh, I’ma butt in here for a sec: The Longest Day The Great Raid Flags of Our Fathers/Letters From Iwo Jima Defiance Valkyrie My Way The Great Escape And of course, the emotional man movie: The Dirty Dozen I'll vouch for most of those, sure. Letters From Iwo Jima is incredible. War drama classics: The Bridge on the River Kwai -- Alec Guinness spits straight fire in this Stalag 17 -- great prison drama Where Eagles Dare -- Eastwood kicks ass Patton -- pensive and amazing character study Foreign Correspondent -- incredible Hitchcock spy flick Modern interpretations: The Thin Red Line -- Malick does war, shit gets real deep Come and See -- brutal sensory experience of Soviet horror Downfall -- the best representation of Hitler in film Fury -- kickass tank fights and surprisingly deep pathos Das Boot -- claustrophobic sub warfare Empire of the Sun -- Spielberg coming-of-age, featuring a young Christian Bale If you're looking for a curveball: The Best Years of Our Lives -- greatest film ever made about "coming home" Atonement -- romance, drama, deceit, devastating narrative Casablanca -- i mean, technically yes? Holocaust, if you are into that sort of thing: Schindler's List -- no explanation needed Son of Saul -- immersive first-person harrowing realism Sophie's Choice -- Sophie chooses, has to live with that shit Life is Beautiful -- schlocky but emotive and warm

All right v9733xa, I know you probably saw all of these, but you think they got it right?

Well, yeah, I got more than half but not as many as you'd think. I missed a good handful though... Amy, Fyre, Life Itself, Icarus, Blackfish, 13th, and Faces Places, The Act of Killing. Mostly ones impossible to see unless you have a streaming service, live in New York or LA, or steal them. So, yeah, I missed a bunch. A shame.

You know, tao, I was thinking about that video, and a bunch of the awards this month... and it just seemed stupid not to max out free trials of both Amazon Prime and Netflix for the next 29 days. So here we go, I'ma blow through everything on each platform I've wanted to see and couldn't for the upcoming 4 weeks. Weeeee!

Soooo..... anyone see this yet?
I know it got posted to YouTube 4 weeks ago, but I only just noticed it the other day; as cool as it might mean that being on the channel would mean a technical sprucing up in terms of picture and sound, would I be too far out of line in hoping some of these get proper Criterion releases?
