Rewatched 'Out Of The Blue' (1980) for my podcast. Liked it a lot more this time. Glad it's so accessible now (seemed near impossible to find before that 2022 restoration.)

Truthfully, if you don't know anything about the alien series, you're better off watching it since the myriad of complaints about callbacks won't apply to you. If you like it, follow it up with alien, then aliens, then Terminator and Terminator 2 cuz it's a Cameron night, then hop over to the action movie thread. I should rewatch alien vs predator and see if it's as bad as I remember or if it's dumb fun I've been at war with Skynet my entire life friend. Promised to watch all of the Alien movies and will fulfill that. Too much lore though. I don't know where to start! What lore tho. There's a big bug and Sigourney Weaver in her underwear 75% of the time, She wants to kill it they don't, its the perfect organism. There you're about caught up cause the movies cant even keep it straight.

I assumed there was some story because nerds are always complaining about something.

I assumed there was some story because nerds are always complaining about something. I mean there is but it's mostly around trying to kill a bug and or being killed by a bug. They are really good movies tho. I'm mostly joking about the lore. You dont need to watch them but I would say you should at some point.

“Fuck lore” is my guiding principle. Ever more convoluted lore is created to justify more product, which becomes sacrosanct for the hard-rocking among us. Alien 1-4 actually arent very lore heavy at all.

Between the Temples was better than I expected it to be. Kinda has a Harold and Maude vibe to it. Carol Kane was so good in it.

I love Jeremy Saulnier. Blue Ruin is one of my all time favorite movies. I haven’t watched the trailer but I’m having doubts about Rebel Ridge. Forever fuck John Boyega for bailing mid shoot. A movie that has to start shooting from scratch a whole year later, likely now with a reduced budget and shooting schedule due to blowing a fair amount during its first attempt, has an uphill battle. Netflix has given it no press. If they had a winner, I think it would’ve played at a festival or two to build momentum.

I take it back. Some fellers already got screeners and said good things.

Hold the Dark was a step down, but still good. But I remember there was a palpable excitement for it dropping and people talking, so I gotta think Netflix was doing legitimate promotion.

Youtube sneaky freebie!
I'm about to watch it for the first time, but Bill Burr said he had a hard time getting through it because it's so gut-wrenching. PSH FTW!

Watched the director's cut of Napoleon a couple of days ago and it doesn't really improve on the original in many ways. Basically just more Josephine stuff and another battle scene. It still moves through everything too quickly and doesn't have anything particularly memorable about it.

Super Dark Times came out seven years ago. Hope the director does another movie.

He’s fucking old and has been a workhorse forever. Got a case of Eastwood-itis, but studios give ol’ Riddles a bigger budget. I could consult Wikipedia for a minute and do a count, but I’m thinking like half of his movies are meh to bad.

Also, Gladiator is super corny, passable entertainment. But that’s his legacy for most moviegoers.
