Lucked out and got tickets to see 'The Substance' on Friday. Rewatched 'Vertigo' last night. Movie is top tier but I don't think I can ever get on board with James Stewart. He needs to get his "gee, golly" ass out of SF! I've seen maybe a dozen movies with James Stewart and they were all good/great... and so was he. I guess I can see why he could rub people the wrong way, but I love him, Jimmy's my boy!! Just watched Bend of the River the other day and he kicked ass in it!! Have fun with The Substance!! Synopsis made me think of Evil Spawn with Bobbie Bresee.

I read a book about his friendship with Henry Fonda going back to when they were in NYC. The big thing about him was how natural he was during that time compared to most and rewatching some stuff, it stands because of that stammering. My one theater is playing Mr Smith Goes To Washington and i might go see it. Plus he was a part of the same Air Corp my grandpa was in during WW II (but not stationed together) and flew a shit load of missions. Only thing that sucks about him was that he was a lifelong Conservative lol

I had no problems with her until that accent was turned up so high in drive away dolls.

Don’t hate her but don’t think she’s ever elevated a role or anything. And obviously a neeeeeeepppppoooo baby. Also I don’t find her very attractive, which may mean I’m being unfair to her on those other counts.

I guess this is a spoiler but Speak No Evil review blurbs on rotten tomatoes definitely got me thinking we got a happy ending coming our way.

Young Werther was pretty cute, enjoyed that. It's based off a Goethe novel from the 1700s.
I read that there's going to be a 4K restoration of Hardware, definitely interested in checking that out.

btw RIP James Earl Jones
still have vivid memory of meeting him in the mid-90s because i wen't to summer camp with his son - knowing him only at the time as Darth Vader, Mufasa and the old guy from the Sandlot, shaking his big ass hand and hearing his voice speaking to me in real life was a wild, magic of movies type moment

I think one of his more powerful and unfortunately overlooked roles is in Matewan. This scene in particular:
Shouts to Criterion for finally giving it a proper release just a few years back. Up until then the best quality version was a really weak film transfer on DVD that wasn't much better than VHS. Important movie though, and JEJ is great in it.

I’d probably go see Speak No Evil if convenient but it’s not with a baby in the house.

Just cuz the reviews are pretty good, even if they’re gonna go the “remake but more agreeable to dummies.”

This movie rules, need to revisit it Dude John Sayles FTMFW! I've gotta do more digging but 8 Men Out and Lone Star are also top tier storytelling with great acting to boot. Sayles strikes me as a sort of Woody Guthrie of modern filmmaking. A man of the people for real.

Scoot Mcnairy is also the best slightly off kilter everyman working today (Patrick Wilson is the best good looking, hunky everyman).

'Matewan' (1987) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MatewanFilmed in the coal country of West Virginia, “Matewan” celebrates labor organizing in the context of a 1920s work stoppage. Union organizer, Joe Kenehan, a scab named “Few Clothes” Johnson and a sympathetic mayor and police chief heroically fight the power represented by a coal company and Matewan’s vested interests so that justice and workers’ rights need not take a back seat to squalid working conditions, exploitation and the bottom line. (i'll probably delete this from the mega in a few days, so download quick if possible) Not available to stream anywhere so I thought I'd share with the board (:
