I can’t remember if you saw Parasite but that’s obviously the big one. They added three other Bong Joon Ho movies too and they are all varying degrees of great. 13 Assassins and Melancholia are both available and ranked v high on my Decades list. The former is like 90 minutes of build-up for a big half-hour samurai action set piece. The latter is a Lars von Trier depression-fest. Art of Self-Defense and Booksmart are both funny and don’t require reading subtitles if you want something easier. Parasite was number 1 on my decade list so I'm set there. I definitely want another viewing but probs not tonight if projections stand as they are Booksmart is in my "saved" pile or whatever and I've never heard of Art of Self-Defense. Those are probs the runners edit: tomorrow night you know how this shit projects

I don’t necessarily think The Fog is bad but for Christine honestly being one of the better ‘80s King adaptations I would’ve thought it’d give it an edge
The Fog just never gets to me.

I started Mission:Impossible tonight for the first time in ages. Truly the greatest of all franchises.

If anyone has never seen it, I Am Trying to Break Your Heart, the documentary on Wilco making YHT, will be streaming for free this week through Wilco’s website.
The old guy talking to Jeff backstage in the first few minutes is one of my all-time favorite music documentary moments

kelly reichardt's first film is a quasi road movie about a pair who want to escape their lives, on the run from a crime that didn't actually happen. feels very much like an indie that would have played at sundance in 1994. quite liked it. streaming on the criterion channel for the rest of the month.

That would be the least he could do after they named their band after his dog.

I thought we owned this, but I just confirmed that we own a dvd of wilco's ashes of american flags. I do remember seeing I am trying to break your heart in a movie theater.

That post is suspicious. Lacks the usual nanatod level of detail. You ok?

I started Mission:Impossible tonight for the first time in ages. Truly the greatest of all franchises. folks this movie holds up. it was less confusing than I remembered it being. I had a good chuckle that the screens Jon Voigt is looking is looking at during the Prague scene are just a bunch of De Palma signatures (split screen, POV shots). Fallout still has the best set pieces but the three big ones here all rule. I haven't seen 2 in a while but I have to imagine that for all the other issues I remember it having there's almost no way John Woo's action scenes are worse than JJ Abrams'

I have not seen MI 1-3 for whatever reason.
I saw 4 because it had a preview of the Dark Knight Rises and I was a sucker for that and it ended up a better movie than TDKR
And so I saw the next two sequels because of how good 4 was. 5 was not quite as good as 4 but still ruled. And 6 was the best of them.
I really really need to see 1-3. It's on my quarantine list

I would respect any ranking that put 3 and 2 last. The rest are all really good. Fallout is my favorite I think just because the action scenes somehow manage to get better from the HALO jump on out and barely let up. There might be an argument that Rogue Nation is the most well rounded idk
