Childs Play (2019) is aright Hows it stack up to the original? I'm not a Chucky purist, but the original is far better than any other in the franchise, as holds true for most horror franchises. There's Child's Play, then the rest. Obviously this one isn't as good but it has the same spirit. IMO its better than Seed, Cult and CP 3. Borderline maybe better than CP 2 depending how you feel about that one. Some hate it/some like it. I'm in the middle but if I had to watch one right now it'd be CP 2019.

Child’s Play 3 has the coolest setting of the OG movies but is so meh. I’ll probably check out the new one in theaters when I get paid this week

I wasn't really into the new Child's Play, everything about it felt so lazy.

Between Worlds (on Netflix)
I...kinda...really liked this? It’s a movie with another worthy Nice Cage performance that people need to see just as much as Mandy or any other thing that’s Cage-hott. But it’s not just Cage that’s welcome here. His two co-stars Franka Potente from Run Lola Run and the Bourne Identity and Penelope Mitchell keep this thing moving. It’s a more grounded movie with a more grounded cage at the beginning until things start going haywire with the plot, which kind of feels like one of those early to mid 90s body swap/serial killer vhs rental-movies.Its not that, but still. This thing gets crazy. Like Cage banging everyone in about four different scenes that’s cut with more banging whilst yell-reading from a book...and all of it actually matters to the plot! It’s definitely melodramatic but oh yeah did I mention Cage plays a bad ass trucker? This thing moves around a lot but it’s always focused surprisingly. What throws you off in the beginning to let you know that it’s indeed goin*to get weirder is the weird David Lynch Twin Peaks bass heavy score that’s thrown in at random.

Just watched Fire in The Sky for the first time in many years. This is the best movie of its kind imo. Great characters, and really impressive interior UFO scenes. The examination scene is one of the most memorable and scary scenes ever in a sci-fi film. The aliens, even when shown up close are so well done. I feel like if this movie was done with CGI it wouldn't have anywhere near the same atmosphere and sense of dread. Current sci-fi movies should take cues from movies like this.

Knife+Heart is really good and provocative, but all the Frenchness kind of got in the way of a good giallo. Plus I couldn’t get into the leads at all.

I left off with a negative, but it’s certainly one of my faves of the year, if it’s considered a 2019 movie.

I count it as a 2019 release since it was released theatrically in March.

The Getaway (1972 w/ McQueen) was dope. That train station scene was so unbelievably well done.

Such a good early 90s cast too. DB Sweeney, Robert Patrick, Peter Berg, Craig Sheffer!

Watched The Getaway (94 version) and it's just '90s nostalgia for me. I couldn't help but think that since Walter Hill wrote both versions of The Getaway and The Driver was clearly an inspiration for Drive that NWR needs to do a version of The Getaway.

I love The Getaway '94. I love 90s Alec Baldwin. Movies like this are so unequivocally fun. Plus Michael Madsen. I paid way too much for this DVD that's out of print.

Speaking of NWR, has anyone started watching Too Old to Die Young? I'm only 4 episodes in and it has everything that I like and don't like about NWR. Hideo Kojima's brief and barely noticeable cameo is the best part so far. Also like Billy Baldwin in this.

Just finished Without Feathers and was deciding what to read next so this is perfect.

I haven’t read any book on it, I’m sure there are some, actually I think Travis Walton wrote a book about it himself. I just listened to the Last Podcast on the left episodes on it.

I'm only 2 episodes in. I generally am a NWR fan, but one quirk of his that I feel like he has taken too far in this is the looooong-ass pauses and blank stares his characters have before they speak during dialogue scenes. Miles Tellers' character is probably the worst offender. Hey dude, your boss is asking you about a murder you witnessed, maybe don't stare like a silent robot for 5 straight seconds before answering.

Just received word that NY Public library will discontinue its relationship with Kanopy on July 1st. Un-fucking-believable.
