Can't wait to see Bohemian Rhapsody!!

[Freed Roger]

edit, This will have to suffice for my Dwight Shrute "A Quiet Place" cameo

Actually there are a bunch of parodies out there.

Saw it over the weekend at the new Alamo Drafthouse here in the Cities. Wife and I both thought it was fantastic.

Some friends of mine reported the same. I'm excited.

Watched "The Post" the other night. I thought it was a little clunky at times, but there were some good performances.

I was also amused at the very 1st scene that Hanks and Streep had together. It looked like they were in an Acting 101 class. 2 actors, 1 table. 1 actor has a prop (newspaper). No real establishment of characters, just dive into the dialogue.

We saw Bohemian Rhapsody Sunday. It was great.

A star is born was terrific. Hadn't realized this was the third remake of it though. I could see a best picture nom, but not sure if there will be any actor/actress noms. Definitely a best soundtrack nom and most likely win.

also...not sure what movie is more depressing....a star is born or million dollar baby

The Other Side of the Wind - A Netflix/P Bogdanovich completion of an Orson Welles project he filmed over 6 years and then languished in a vault until now. How could I resist?

[SHOW]

For old film buffs, it will be interesting enough to watch. Quite a cast. John Huston, Dennis Hopper, with all sorts of familiar hollywood character actors popping in and out. Very disjointed, as you'd expect with the production conditions. Almost shut it off a few times, but then there would be some curiosity, or familiar Orson Welles-ish approach that would keep me in. That and the weird nudity/sexual scenes ala Welles uncensored.

It's a film within a film. About making a film. And then outside of the film there is the story Welles and the making of this film. Hallucinogenic on it's own, but feel free to supplement as you watch. Autobiographal elements abound for Huston, Welles, and the bohemian filmmaker life. And Bogdanovich- who played a character role in the film that has some of the real life relationship with Welles, and also the completion of the project. This is where the mind [expletive] aspect might lock someone in for the full viewing of this. That and the weird nudity/sexual scenes ala Welles uncensored.

Also, there are some classic interesting visuals and scenes. And some great one-liners. And for the film that is within the film - it's visuals are stunning as well - Orson Welles' lady friend actress is smokin hot (and nude) . The film within the film was so over-the-top that I think Welles is critical/poking fun at some sort of arthouse genre. The ending, I kind of like. And John Hutson is great. Undoubtedly the backstory of this film is much about him as Welles.

An intentionally chaotic meta film. (If I'm using meta correct). Lots of memorable pieces to it, for such a strange disjointed piece.

Third Man - looking forward to hearing your take on it.

Found out my library is going to start offering this streaming service soon:

Kanopy has a smallish library but a lot of classic and independent movies. Lots of instructional/educational videos too apparently.
