I have always identified with the dad when he reads the riot act to the teacher.

And yes I know we're not supposed to. But he's right. Let millions of NPCs go to the wall to save one creative genius.
 
For my money, that is Mel's most underrated film. I enjoy the story of how he gave Hitchcock a private screening before the public release, and Mel thought he'd offended the Master of Suspense because, as the credits rolled, he left expressionless and didn't say a word. A few days later, Mel received a case of good wine and a note of approval from him.

A rare film on which I disagreed with most of the critical reaction. Ebert only gave it 2.5 stars and insisted Hitch couldn't be spoofed. I think he was just afraid of offending his audience.

Wifey is at pottery class, perhaps I'll go put it on now.
 
I did not like it at first. I like it more the more I see it. But I like it for individual acting performances and little scenes. The plotline is the weakest of all of Brooks' work IMO, even allowing for it being such a great Hitch parody. Young Frankenstein is parody after all but it's a great story too.
 
This merch tells me Dune 3's gonna suck twice as hard as Dune 2.

Is that the remake of the original (Dangerous Passage*, maybe?) where an idealistic FBI agent is protecting a woman witness making a cross country train trip to testify against a mob boss, and little by little all his illusions evaporate?

* Edit: No, that was The Narrow Margin. Remade in 1980, but not the Lancaster film.

The Marie Windsor / Joan Weldon / Faith Domergue trifecta, when actresses (1) were adults, (2) could act, and (3) could hold an intelligent conversation between takes.

Extinct since 1960, along with the rest of maturity. I see the faintest flickers of it in Gen Z, but they'll have to reinvent it for themselves after 3 generations of perma-toddlers. Bad times produce good women.

Went and saw Wildwood this weekend with my daughter. It’s the new animated movie by Laika, the studio that made Coraline.

It’s gotten good reviews and they’re pretty spot on. It’s a very good movie.

You can definitely tell it’s a movie set in and around Portland (Oregon you Mainers) made by a studio based in Portland. A lot of interesting nods to Western Oregon.
