2024 watch #422: Menace II Society (1993) A lot bleaker than I expected. There's really no getting out.

2024 watch #420: Southland Tales (2006, Cannes Cut) I don't know if being debilitatingly high made it easier or harder to understand this time around, but it's still like David Lynch directed a season of Archer.

2024 watch #419: The Nice Guys (2016) If I won the lottery, I wouldn't tell anyone, but there would be signs, like more dumbass noir from Shane Black with whores and stuff.

2024 watch #418: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005) The new Beverly Hills Cop put me in the mood for a dumbass sassy detective movie night, so if you know me, you know what's coming next. I think idiot noir comedy might be one of my favorite genres.

2024 watch #417: Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F (2024) Eddie Murphy's still got the juice, and using almost all the same music takes me right back to being 5 years old watching the original at an inappropriate age. Bowfinger 2 when?

2024 watch #415: Fly Me To The Moon (2024) The trailer felt like a Tropic Thunder parody, but it was a decent mix of Space Cowboys with Mad Men. Fun and wholesome, and Jim Rash is great. That line about moon jujitsu class wasn't actually in the lyrics, but I thought it anyway.

2024 watch #414: Love Streams (1984) Gena Rowlands doesn't handle the divorce well, and Jim the dog should've been a superstar. "I wasn't born to lose. It's just the thing I do best."

2024 watch #412: Kill (2023) I want you to imagine John Wick was actually violent and angry. Extend the Oldboy hallway fight out to 90 brutal minutes on a train. This would be an amazing double feature with Kaithi (2019).

2024 watch #411: Maxxxine (2024) I liked it better than Twitter or Pearl. Kevin Bacon chews some scenery, it captures the gritty, sleazy 80s vibe, and has a great soundtrack. Loses points for accuracy because Ass Sandwich was released in 1987, but a video store has it in 1985.

2024 watch #410: Top Secret! (1984) More gags per second than any other movie. Not a frame wasted. The Peter Cushing Swedish bookstore scene is a masterpiece.

2024 watch #409: Jade (1995) Didn't realize this was a Friedkin until now, which makes it my first, as I saw this dozens of times as a kid working at a theater. The car chase should've tipped me off. I appreciate it more as an adult, but it's still a nonsensical erotic thriller.

2024 watch #408: Independence Day (1996) When a nearly 30-year-old movie has a throwaway line about the president being attacked for his age, and an entire theater immediately loses their shit laughing at it, it's never been more Joever.

Watched return of the living dead at 5:30pm EST yesterday, and sitting down at an Alamo movie party for ID4 right now. Snagged a bunch of Area 51 badges with Pullman's speech on the back.

2024 watch #407: Jaws (1975) Required viewing for the 4th. My first time on the big screen, and the first time ever for the woman in front of me who shat herself, screaming louder than I’ve ever heard a human scream when the head falls out of the boat. See it with a crowd.

2024 watch #406: Tank Girl in 35mm (1995) Another one I have no idea how I missed back in the day, because it would’ve been extremely my shit. Bugs Bunny in a camp Fury Road with a soundtrack curated by Courtney Love, and insane cameos from Iggy Pop and James Hong.

If you murder a string of Supreme Court justices and then appeal your conviction back up to the Supreme Court, all the remaining judges must recuse themselves with conflicts of interest. You are automatically freed; the perfect crime. No law school is brave enough to admit this.

2024 watch #402: Licence To Kill (1989) Those Brits have to have a license to do anything. This has everything: Puns, sharks, lasers, baby Benicio del Toro, Wayne Newton as a huckster guru, half the cast of Mortal Kombat. I can't see Timothée Dalton as anyone but Simon Skinner.

2024 watch #400: Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1 (2024) This had nothing to do with Horizon: Zero Dawn, smdh. A little bit of The Searchers by way of Deadwood and Blood Meridian, which I'm glad I'm reading concurrently. I do know Costner's seen The Fabelmans (2022).

2024 watch #399: Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) Hard to believe this is the same director as The Rise of Skywalker. It's mostly carried by Adam Driver's Farrah Fawcett hair. I'm going to have to get so high in two weeks giving episode 9 a third chance.

2024 watch #398: The Last of the Mohicans (1992) I guess this was my first Mann. The 4th VHS tape we watched dozens of times as a kid due to mom's thirst for Daniel Day-Lewis. "How is it you are headed west?" "Well, we kinda face to the north and real subtle-like turn left."

2024 watch #396: Janet Planet (2023) Despite the titular overlap with the lyrics, this had nothing to do with Outkast's Bombs Over Baghdad, but was Aftersun for girls whose mothers dated insufferable men. “Every moment of my life is hell.”

2024 watch #395: A Quiet Place: Day One (2024) That is one well-behaved cat. Mine would’ve gotten us killed immediately. They figured out the sound thing day one, but Jim from The Office was still hitting it raw and definitely not giving his wife a screaming orgasm on day 194.

2024 watch #390: Don't Look Now (1973) What the fuck? The paranoia and the slowly ratcheting tension are great as he goes through the stages of grief over losing his daughter, and we think he's losing his mind until he very clearly isn't.
