Some excellent scenes in this and some very good acting performances.

Produced by the duplass brothers I believe. I don’t love all their stuff but some of them are good

They have talent. Even stuff I don't like is well made. Plus...I mean Mark was Pete ;^)

My wife had me watch Coda starting last night and into today. It’s really good. Really good.

I had never heard of the movie until my wife brought it to my attention. I learned that it won three Oscars in 2022, including Best Picture. (Really good, huh?)

The Devil and Daniel Webster (1941)
Down on his luck farmer agrees to sell his soul to Mr. Scratch in exchange for 7 years of fortune. Walter Huston brilliantly plays the role of the devil with mischievous, cheery, and ruthless abandon. It's more than good and evil, it's a statement about the corrupting power of wealth and hits even today. The movie doesn't perfectly stick the landing but it's great nonetheless. There are some connections to Citizen Kane due to I believe both being made by some of the same key people sans Wells.

I watched Alexandra Pelosi's latest documentary, The Insurrectionist Next Door. It's running on HBO/MAX right now.
I've never really thought of Pelosi as a great documentarian. I don't think there are any of her films that will cause you to sit and ruminate on them for days or months at a time.
But she makes, what I call, really good "popcorn" documentaries, that are engaging and good entertainment for 100 minutes, which is all you can really ask for out of most films.
This film fits within that.
It's basically a film where Pelosi interviews a half dozen to dozen participants in the January 6 insurrection. She uses footage most of them took themselves and posted to social media to give the viewers a sense where this person was and what they did that day.
She interviews most of them in their homes, either before their prosecutions were completed, or even after they've served their sentences. She basically attempts, with each individual, to see if they'll sort of blame Trump for being there that day, to see if their views of Trump have changed, and to see if she can learn what they actually thought they were going to do once they entered the capitol building.
I would say it's definitely worth a watch. It's got a decent comedy aspect to it, which might be unexpected. It's also a reminder that no matter what anyone might think of these individuals, there is a human story behind it. Sometimes the story is precisely what you would think, and in other instances, not so much.

Preview of a full length movie from the Please Don't Destroy trio from SNL. Looks funny enough to give it a try.

It's gotten great reviews, but 3 and a half hours long?!!

I think this is a case where you know what you are getting with a Scorse movie. He's made it known that he likes long-form storytelling.

Ballerina - Netflix. Grieving the loss of a best friend she could not protect, former bodyguard Ok-ju sets out to fulfill her dear friend's last wish: sweet, sweet revenge.
The film lacks just a bit with its plot and character development, but everything else was on point including the acting, dialogue, action scenes and cinematography. I'm glad this film was foreign made too because I can't help but feel if it were made in the U.S. it would have been nowhere as sharp.

3.5 Scorsese hours, so every minute will be endless.
Dr. Mrs. is hot for it and recovering from a root canal so I have to oblige. I am not looking forward to it. The last Scorsese movie I enjoyed was 13 years ago, and the last Scorsese non-comedy I enjoyed was 41 years ago.

Is there a common theme apart from the outfit?

I never tweaked to this until just now:
mookie has a white jacket to swap out the black. Think it is a nice mix to have the black tuxedo pants with white jacket and black tie ;^)
