That's a classic; I love that movie.  Had you seen it before?

"Corn Nuts" 

Nope. I caught bits and pieces of it, but never the whole thing.

Right on.  Did you enjoy it?

Oh yeah.

Bless the Child. 2000. Kim Basinger, Christina Ricci.

The Monster Squad, 1987. Stephen Macht, Duncan Regehr.

Baghead, 2023. Scary movie!

Nope, 2022.

The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009)


Second time watching this weirdly funny flick. I would not like it as much without: George Clooney, Ewan McGregor and Jeff Bridges
Interesting to note that this movie was based on real people: Jeff Bridges' character Bill Django is based on Army Lt. Col. Jim Channon  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Channon
and
George Clooney's character, Lyn Cassady, appears to be based partly on the US military's top Remote Viewer Joe McMoneagle, and RV Project Database Manager Lyn Buchanan. A scene where information on a missing general is provided by Cassady in a Remote Viewing session is likely drawn from inspiration from McMoneagle's partly successful attempt to RV kidnap US Brig. Gen. Dozier's location in Padua, Italy (1981). The scene where computer systems are destroyed, seemingly by Lyn, resulting in his initial recruitment by Gen. Hopgood, is very close to fact.

I had to call the cable guy out yesterday
Then I felt the need to re-watch
The Cable Guy (1996)

"This concludes our broadcasting day."

Duel, 1971. Dennis Weaver. Steven Spielberg's directorial debut.

Nothing But Trouble. Weird but fun comedy with Dan Aykroyd, John Candy, Chevy Chase, and Demi Moore.

Oddly enough, I was just thinking of this oddball movie recently.

One of my faves.

Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)


Getting in the mood for the newest Mad Max. I can't believe that Fury Road was almost 10 years ago, seems like 2 years ago.

Furiosa should be out in July? Anya Taylor Joy is ubiquitous!

I see that it is released in America today
All different actors than the previous Mad Max movie
I've got mixed feelings
This newest movie is supposed to be an origin story of Furiosa
Check out this trailer
