    Nobody. Bob Odenkirk as a bad ass former “auditor” who runs afoul of the Russian mob. Not what I was expecting. I just thought he was some former boxer.

    Return of the Living Dead. More comedy than horror. Lots of gore and brain eating. Lots of boobs. I will complete in watching the trilogy of the Return films.

    The Toolbox Murders (1978). Have never seen it and always remember seeing the box at video stores. My best friend in 8th grade watched it and told me a little about it way back when. Lots of boobs. Has Will from Land of the Lost. Allegedly based on a true story.

    Zardoz. Another one I had never seen by always remember seeing commercials for it as a late night movie. Lots of boobs. Sean Connery running around in a cod piece. Kind of slow but interesting futuristic film

    Class of Nuke’m High. I am not a super fan of the Troma-verse movies. Had only seen Toxic Avenger when it came out. Lots of cheesy gore and cheesy dialogue. Lots of boobs.

    Graduation Day (1981). A Friday the 13th ripoff that obviously came out right after to take advantage of the slasher genre taking off. Some boobs. A young Vanna White has a small part. Only watch if you love the early 80s slasher/horror films.

    Prom Night (1980) Jamie Lee Curtis. Leslie Nielsen! Kind of slow starting but ends up being OK for an 80's slasher flick. Some boobs, but not Jamie Lee's

    When a Stranger Calls. Another movie I had never seen, but have always heard about. The call is coming from inside the home! Starts off great, then the plot goes kind of weird, then picks up at the very end.

    Started new FX series, 'The Lowdown.' Starring Ethan Hawke, along with WA native and UW alum Kyle MacLachlan, who has a much lesser role in the series. Pretty entertaining so far.

    One Battle After Another

    Biggest battle for me was trying to stay awake for a fucking almost 3 hour movie off of McMenamins soapy IPA's.

    I love some of the shit on X that predictably jerked it to and took this plot way too seriously, "It's non stop action, truly one battle after another!"

    This is a Culture War satire and California Noir (I think I just made that up but you know what I mean) where Leonardo DiCaprio tries way too hard to be a Lebowski type for Gen Z to keep his career going.

    Sean Penn was horribly miscast until the final jokes at the end. Then it's obvious he was perfect for the role.

    Depending on where you sit in the Culture Wars, this will either be a worthy dark comedy or a complete pile of shit in the vein of "the Left can't meme". I guess for me it was both.

    I will say that Paul Thomas Anderson is fucking unreal when it comes to scores and cinematography. There's 4-5 shots that are amazing, even some small scenes like the helicopter over the California forest. The tone reminded me of Under The Silver Lake which is probably the best California Noir ever made. There's 3-4 screens that were laugh out loud funny as well. Leo wasn't exactly terrible in it, he's just kind of become a parody of himself now.

    An account on X posted a which Paul Thomas Anderson film is your favorite thing?

    The only movie of his I started was There Will Be Blood and I didn’t even finish it.

    Day of the Condor in memory of Redford

    Gets to nail Faye Dunaway but who didn't in the 70s. A 1975 Sidney Lumet film about a CIA reader who comes to his front and finds the entire team killed. In is reading he stumbled across some information on a shadow team and sent it on and that triggered the killing

    Very 70s energy crises government corruption CIA bad film. A group made a plan to invade the middle east and Venezuela for oil

    The end is great

    CIA guy - Cliff Robertson - to Redford - It was a great plan and it would work and you blew it

    Redford - you guys and your plans how can you do this shit in secret

    What should we do?

    Tell the people

    Now? How about when they can't heat their home or buy food? They will beg us to do it (true)

    Redford points to the NY Times building - they have it now

    CIA - How do you know they will print it?

    Fade to black

    I love Boogie Nights. Honestly, have only watched a few others of his movies and they've been over my head. I'll probably stream this one and see if I can get through it.

    Boogie Nights is a good call. Also liked The Master and Inherent Vice I stumbled onto recently and it's a by the book stoner mystery and pretty good.
