I picked up a whole bunch of genuine classics from Warner Archive in the 4/$44 sale that just arrived and tonight I’m going with... Looker. :D

I just got a nice little haul from Amazon‘s buy two, get the third free sale and it arrived today. Now I just don’t know if I should watch Silent Running, Seven Sinners or Shepherd of the Hills first.

Either The Flying Leathernecks or The Long Voyage Home on HBO Max.

Kids are in bed, wife went to bed early...I think I can sneak in a western. And iTunes had El Dorado for $4 yesterday and I’ve never seen it. I think this is the beginning of a great idea... edit: jinxed myself here! One of the little guys woke up.

For not the first time, and probably not the last, I have a free hour to 90 minutes and no idea what to watch. And for not the first time and probably not the last, I’ll either stare at my shelf and run out of time while trying to make a decision, or will just end up watching something Star Trek.

I have to get to that one of these years. I’ve heard such marvelous things about their release but my only frame of reference on the film is whatever battered and edited version PBS used to show when I was much younger.

I’m embarking on a low-key rewatch of David Lynch’s filmography. While I’ve seen all of his films before, many more than once, I’ve never actually watched them all in order. Got to Eraserhead a few nights ago, and The Elephant Man last night. I don’t think I’ve seen Elephant Man since high...

I’m trying to catch up on odds and ends. I have lots of things that I’m in the middle of or almost done with, be it a TV series or bonus features on a review title. Instead of starting something new today, I’m trying to inch those other things along. With any luck, I should be able to finish...

I've been a bit under the weather for the past couple weeks... I'm slowly improving but I'm finding that my patience for trying to watch a two hour movie just hasn't been there. So I've been mostly reading as well as watching TV shows of a more low-stakes variety. This week, I noticed that...

I'm looking forward to seeing that one too!

I'm feeling under the weather so I'm making the best of some bed rest with the "lost episodes" of the Honeymooners.

I think that's the one Albert Brooks movie I've never seen. I should probably work on that. I am embarrassingly behind on everything else as far as daily viewing. Tonight I'm watching some Star Trek Voyager (final season) episodes. I meant to finish this in December...oops.

Two movies that couldn't be more different: Holiday Inn and SpaceCamp.

Finally got to my German BD of the Jimmy Stewart-Maureen O'Hara western The Rare Breed. I'm a satisfied customer.

I adore both of those films, both in my top ten, and I've never made that connection. Bravo, sir!

I didn't know there was a controversy - is it that Pixar is ripping off a movie that Fox just made a couple years ago? I know almost nothing about Coco but when I saw a brief description, I thought it sounded exactly like Book Of Life (which I really enjoyed).

Three very different films, a mix of Netflix and discs, my first time seeing each: -It Follows -The Big Heat -Son Of Paleface

This was just released this week, so no worries, you're not too far behind! This is an interesting beast, this 188-minute version. The first BD (the single disc version) is the 151 minute director's cut that Richard Donner put together in 2000. (The original theatrical version ran 143...

Superman: The Movie (The new Warner Archive disc of the 188 minute TV version.)

Today I attended a screening of Dragonfly Squadron (a film that I have on disc) hosted by HTF's own Bob Furmanek. It was great to see it on a big screen and with an audience! Nearly full too! Tonight I'll be rewatching some of the prior weeks episodes of Twin Peaks and will watch the finale...

I am on my way to see Terminator 2 in 3D. Man, did they drop the ball on this - no premium showings, no publicity that I've seen anywhere. Looks like a total of five tickets have been old for this screening out of a possible 850. Yikes!

And he still may be - the movie came out this January, so it'll be eligible for next year's award ceremonies. I wouldn't be surprised if the studio gives it a little push.

Last night I watched the new German BD of "Bend of the River", a marvelous James Stewart-Anthony Mann western. The disc appeared to be a new-ish (or at least, not ancient) master based on an imperfect element - when it's good, it's really good, but the few moments that were less than stellar...

Was a blind buy and I loved it. Perfect way to end a night.

My Twilight Time package of Sony sale titles just arrived. About to pop in Edge Of Eternity.

East Meets West night (unintentionally): -The Yakuza -The Bitter Tea Of General Yen

Mike, on very rare occasions, my wife sometimes will have to work a 4pm-midnight shift on a day I'm off. I'm of two minds on this. On one hand, it's a bummer that she's got to work on those nights and that we miss having an evening together. (I'm much more of a night person.) On the other hand...

Inception and The Dark Knight Rises.

The Prestige (been rewatching Christopher Nolan's films more or less in order to celebrate the release of Dunkirk).

Memento and Batman Begins.
