had to give disney 10$ a month to watch the new star wars series with commercials

say hey! 

I spent an hour looking for something to watch and finally settled on Shoplifters. Had to see it in two viewings because I was tired from the search.  Excellent performances by the entire cast. I found some of the end a little implausible but I don't know much about Japanese law.  One of the better films I've seen recently.

RIP, The Logo.

"While it's never been officially declared that the logo is Jerry West," Silver said in 2021, "it sure looks a lot like him."

Pyramid the movie

rewatched the constant gardener yesterday which i hadnt seen in some time only to realize later it was a john le carre adaptation. today i went with the spy who came in from the cold. thought id seen it but if i did it hadnt stuck with me. might keep going and restart the little drummer girl mini-series from a few years back or do the tinker, tailor, soldier, spy miniseries from a while back with alec guinness. 

6/6 parade of planets

watched a most violent year this afternoon on max. solid film that defies expectations. it was set in 1981 which apparently was the most violent year in nyc based on crime stats.

going with civil war unless i fall asleep first. 

after successfully wiping the mr and mrs smith slate clean i am eager, no whats the opposite of eager, unenthusiastically considering which other shows i should tidy up. on the list of started but havent finished though still in the mix

pen15, mrs davis, beef and probably a few paint by numbers british detective shows. still unstarted fargo season 5 and ripley are the only ones that immediately come to mind. offhand can recall a few apple+ shows im not anxious to revisit.

 

heres one for bill.

a couple eidsodes in and Sugar is coming off corny and cliche. Why don't the critics agree? 

finally swung back around to finish up mr and mrs smith on amazon. kind of well paired with last nights the fall guy except with 8 hours they were able to flesh out the relationship more. as much as i love emily blunt it really was goslings "journey" and that journey was mostly in the service of the action while this was always about the marriage first and foremost with both characters given equal weight while the spy hijinks were just window dressing.

anyway, only had two episodes left today after months away, and think they stuck the landing. will look now to see if a second season is to be expected or if they are happy with where they left it.

hitting this tonight. amazing how fast things are getting to streaming lately.

stax on max

Heads up skinny 100 rots. On criterion channel
