Fantastic, but old news. How disappointing š
Well, the details are new (and interesting, IMO). Was foolish to get hopes up for Phil turning something else over anyway!
True enough. I blame Paul.
Fantastic, but old news, this announcement was leaked from several online retailers weeks in advance. How disappointing there were no new discoveries š.
But this calls into question how theyāll deal with seasons with missing stories, or if theyāll even bother.
I do appreciate being able to save a ton of money since most of the DVDs are out of print now. I actually sold Robot for quite a bit more than I got it for in anticipation of this announcement.
Iām not sure I can generate enough arguments about it to carry me through the next three pages.
Donāt worry. Life finds a way.
Moderately annoyed and saddened.
Can you do anything about the hilt?
I feel like Iām being ignored and it pisses me off.
A definite improvement. Itās almost like they covered it in blue to cover up the aging effects.
Thanks.
Hi hi.
I thought Dunkirk was going to win Best Picture, but I was hoping for Shape of Water to.
I think thatās the problem. I feel like I put too much into maintaining friendships that the other person doesnāt really value. So it just ends up being work. That combined with what I said in my last post makes any kind of meaningful friendship really difficult.
And I appreciate the space here.
Congrats on the Oscar, Harmy.
Adam West was known primarily for TV work, and the Academy notoriously hates horror.
All of my friendships are entirely unrewarding. I might as well not know anybody.
Iām not sure what makes a friendship rewarding other than pleasure of company.
Dependability, loyalty, honesty, chemistryā¦
I donāt have people with whom I socialize on a regular basis and Iām not good at staying in touch. Maybe itās a trust issue or extreme introversion but Iām pretty okay with it.
I certainly have issues putting trust in others, and have been told I am the most antisocial person they know, so who knows. All I know is I donāt feel like Iām getting the most out of life and feel mostly unwanted.
I suppose Iām just not convinced theyāre very good friends.
Not watching it because I am alone.

Goddammit. I didnāt want to read that.
Yikes.
What have you been hearing about the Academy voters?
Still up. At her apartment when I shouldnāt be, doing stuff I should be avoiding (hence the still awake). She randomly decided to go take a shower. Should be encoding audio for HAL (sorry buddy, I only have one left to do, youāll have them all tomorrow). I know what we are and I wish I were more so I keep letting this happen. I need to stop.
I canāt.
Ugh.
I know the feeling. However, not to the extent you are. Good luck. Itās hard.

Nonetheless, I am awake.
Once again, Iāll spare you all the wall of textā¦

A Fish Called Wanda (1988) - Not sure what took me so long on this once. Great cast, amusing story = good movie. B
Boy (2010) - Early Taika Waititi film that further proves the guyās got a fantastic and unique cinematic voice. Funny and emotional. B
Three Men and a Baby (1987) - In which a horror movie scenario is played for laughs. Much too cutesy for me, but still likeable enough. C+
A Knightās Tale (2001) - I wanted to see this when I came out and yet somehow this is the first time Iāve gotten around to it. For all the hoopla about anachronisms, I really wish they pushed that aspect of it further. As is, itās sort of a basic ātale,ā though Ledger is, of course, great with what heās given. B-
The Crow (1994) - I knew this was the ultimate goth movie, but I wasnāt pleased to find out how true that really was. C
Blade (1998) - Another sort of superhero movie thatās taken me way too long to see, and honestly Iām pissed no one properly explained to me how cool this movie is. B
Blade II (2002) - Mostly on par with the last, though better in many ways. Makes me want to watch the follow up but I know I shouldnāt. B+
Peter Rabbit (2018) - Donāt even ask me why I saw this. I will say itās not nearly as annoying as I thought itād be, and Domhnall Gleason absolutely kills it. C+
Wait Until Dark (1967) - An exceedingly tense suspense picture. Hepburn brings it too, as usual. Alan Arkin plays it big but I love it. B+
Black Panther (2018) - Simply put, itās the best Marvel has yet done. Not so much a superhero film as a superspy/Shakespearian tragedy sci-fi action/drama film, with some real meaning to it. Already seen it twice. Ryan Cooglerās the real deal. A-
Godzilla: Planet of Monsters (2018) - Little disappointing. I donāt even care about Godzilla that much but with a premise as interesting as this and the freedoms provided by the medium, it should have been a lot better. C-
Cool Runnings (1993) - An extremely basic sports film, but with a unique enough subject matter and charm to be quite a good time. C+
Annihilation (2018) - Always enjoy a good mind fuck. A great new entry in the cerebral sci-fi canon with some amazing imagery and a lot to chew on after the credits roll. I personally think they could have done a bit more with Portmanās character which could have improved the central ideas, but I think the movie still works fine as is. B+
Gattaca (1997) - A compelling, almost literary, sci-fi yarn. Some of the characterization is weak, but most of the power of the story is still there. B
Mute (2018) - What a massive shame this movie is. Despite the talent involved, pretty much everything is all over the place. The vague intrigue at the start never turns into anything of real interest, and all weāre left with is an overlong slog. D+
Game Night (2018) - This was a pleasant surprise. Nothing groundbreaking but itās good to see a straight up comedy film that actually works these days - something thatās far rarer than it should be. B
Wait Until Dark is fantastic, glad you liked it. One of my all time favorites.
