I have watched that Baldwin monologue many times. Don’t know who won the Best Supporting Acting Oscar that year, bc Baldwin deserved to win hands down.

Salo, 120 Days of Sodom. Pier Palo Pasolini. Based on the unfinished De Sade novel he sketched out in prison. Four aristocratic libertines sexually abuse innocent virginal boys and girls before...

In Vegas last week. Wanted to see a movie on the big screen. Covid be damned.
Saw the Last Vermeer. A World War II art forgery legal case. Guy Pearce was good as the forgerer.

Molly’s Game. Love poker movies

Blade Runner 2049. Done by the same guy who did Arrival. Slow paced st times but the last half hour with Harrison Ford was a great payoff. How they did the effect with Sean Young’s replicant...

Indy Day 2 was meh. An excuse to get out of the heat and eat some popcorn. I was surprised how underwhelming the new Star Trek was.

Just bought a 55 inch smart TV. Had bought a used double disk version of Kubrick's 20001 a few months back.

I literally upgraded my TV to break its cherry on this flick in HD and 7.1

Wow. The...
