Chinatown. Saw it for the fourth time. It's going to become one of my favorite movies eventually -- it has grown every time and I can even stand Dunaway in it now. The minor cast carries it, and of course the beautiful aesthetics.

TIL (spoiler): Polanski rewrote the ending which had been happy. What a great decision. The score was rewritten, recorded, and added to the film in the last 11 days before national release.

Get Carter. This is one of the most rancid movies I have ever seen. It's so wonderfully gross and Caine is striking and so cold. Hard to remember that Michael Caine was a very good actor about 40 years ago before he made nothing but crap.

Deadpool 2. Meh. More of the same. Reynolds is charming, the Winter Soldier was cool, the bartender dude was funny, everything else pedestrian.

HBO's Woodstock '99 doc drops tonight. Looking forward to watching it tomorrow...

It's one of those things that I knew was a big deal when it happened, but at 15 I really had no idea WHY it happened. Over time I've learned about it little bits at a time and my view of things have shifted. Curious how this adds to the perspective.

I have the Blu-ray for Once Upon a Deadpool, but I haven’t had the chance to watch it yet. I think that will be my Tuesday night movie.
 
I can't watch Ace Ventura: Pet Detective any more.

Yes, I know for 1995, it seemed appropriate, but in 2021 and where I am now, it's "cringe," as the kids would say.
 
There are a lot of things like that now. That 70's Show gets cringier by the minute, which I suppose was destined to happen by the mere nature of the show.

Everything Barney said in How I Met Your Mother was cringe ten seconds after he said it.
 
Most of what Barney said was cringe at the time...the character is a sleeze. NPH was the reason people liked him.

That 70s show was and still is great. You just need to realize Red and Kitty are the best part of the show.

And in ten years it will be cringe that it is cringe now.

Hemlines, how do they work?
 
Ace Ventura was especially problematic for me because of "EINHORN IS A MAN" and using trans people as a source of cheap humor.

But then again, that is me.
 
The 90s taking everything to "11" is definitely something that I kind of look back on and wonder "What the hell?" Look at how well American Pie has aged.

That said, if you want a helping of Jim Carrey, THE MASK still holds up, especially compared to his other two major films from 1994.

And later, Liar Liar and The Truman Show hold up just fine. Eternal Sunshine is spectacular.
 
Cutter's Way.

Moody, deeply cynical 70s period piece and murder mystery in which all the investigation occurs off screen, and the focus is not on the "detective" but on a sidekick who cannot decide whether to commit or stay safe.

A comment on the implosion of the 1960s, wealth, California, responsibility, and apathy. It made me extremely uncomfortable and I was impressed by it.
