Check out "Hunger" tonight at 9:45 on Turner. It's set in 1981 about Irish Republican prisoners in the Maze Prison in Northern Ireland.
 
The Gray Man – it had potential but in the end it was just awful. Goesling and Thornton were completely wasted in this dreck-filled and overly cliched wants to be Bourne hot mess, and the major 'battle scene' in Prague was ridiculously preposterous. Pissed me off.

Netflix spent $200 million on that, and a ton on advertising for it. (it was all over Vegas including on the side of a casino) Meanwhile they also laid off like 300 employees and barely advertise their TV shows that people actually watch but pimp dreck like this or Adam Sandler movies even his friends won't watch. This is why their sub numbers are dropping.

Honestly I barely could finish it. And now I hear they’re planning multiple spin offs
 
The live announcement on YouTube for Christopher Nolan's new movie Oppenheimer is interesting. It's just the same teaser playing on a continuous loop. You can't fast forward or reverse it. The only thing that changes is the countdown clock that briefly appears counting down the time (months, days, hours, seconds) to the premier next year down to the 1/1000th second.

I'm looking forward to this movie quite a bit actually.
 
I'm kind of over Chris Nolan. After Tenet I just really don't care anymore. The guy is so full of himself and I can deal with that when the films are enjoyable but now he is so far up his own butt I just can't.

Following -- brilliant
Memento -- one of the best movies ever made
Insomnia -- (have not seen)
The Batman Derp -- fascism is gross and so are these
Inception -- solid
Interstellar -- solid, although jesus fuck that ending
Dunkirk -- (have not seen)
Tenet -- (have not seen)

In general, the bigger his budget the worse the movie. cf. Jackson, P. and Cameron, J.

If it was just another Nolan movie I would probably be meh. I've enjoyed his stuff ok but never been "oh it's a Nolan movie, I need to see it." With this one it's the subject matter I am really interested in. Ever since the Chernobyl series I think every book I've heard has been about atomic/nuclear/radiation history and I've tried to watch other documentaries on those subject that I can find. I find it all fascinating

I loved dunkirk.
 
Wow! What a lineup. I'm really impressed with the deep cuts they chose.


I'm also a little taken aback by seeing movies from the 80s now appear in TCM's catalog.

What used to be the oldies station here moved to a classic hits format and plays everything up to grunge/90s now. I mean, it has been 30 years.
