    Ok, so I binged and am totally caught up on . . . Not quite as good as the first season, but very few things are. Still really enjoyable and close enough to the first season’s quality that the final episode, next week, could potentially create a tie. Followed by: Not as well executed as Infinity Pool, Cronenberg’s next one, but worth seeing. Warning: quite bloody/gory. This one’s a rewatch but I’m realizing I’d only ever seen it on a much smaller screen: 4K just looks amazing and seeing it on a bigger screen, there are just so many amazing shots. I guess I’ve always underestimated this one visually among Coen films. Great stuff; great tribute to M. Emmet Walsh who had the best performance in the movie. One more old one: Brando really was something before he got lazy and/or pretentious. Hadn’t seen this one since I was a kid. The location and a great lineup of character actors really do a lot of great work here.

    In honor of Lou Gossett, a line worthy of Clint Eastwood: Enjoy your Saturday night, everyone:

    So this is one of our coffee table books (actually on an ottoman): Probably saying things most people here already know, but Tippett is responsible for some of the most famous effects work of the last 40 years. Empire Strikes Back, Jurassic Park, etc. Anyway, he made a film and I keep waiting for it to show up on my streaming services, never does, but the bullet and bought the disc: And just arriving from beautiful Italia because they aren’t selling it in the states yet: Saw this at the theater closest to my house, which I don’t go to often because they don’t seem to know how to project a movie properly. Standard performance when I saw this one; though I still enjoyed the movie I think this may end up looking better at home in 4K than it did in the theater.

    I’m with you, I have to imagine this becoming a kind of classic over time. Howerton is so watchable, great performance.

    No work today, *and* no kid. Hope to catch a couple of movies, now the lawn, catch a couple more movies.

    Maaaaaan, this sucks. This is the one, so far, that I was looking forward to more than any other this year. I’d love to know the real source of the delay, and how they thought they were a month away from release and decided they were a year away. Thanks for the update though, I really appreciate it.

    I can’t find anything anywhere else about a cancellation, I think Amazon UK is just bad about overselling pre-order items. I hope that’s all this is, and that we still get the movie in early May.

    Thanks! I didn’t know until last year that she actually wrote this song explicitly for this film’s opening credits. Great stuff.
  9. Heywoodmoutaw
    Wtf? Glad I hedged my bets and ordered another one from someone else. Amazon UK also wasn’t able to fill my Oppenheimer order, I never want to be totally reliant on them. Making commitments they can’t fulfill.

    There’s been a literal million dollar screwup where I work and everyone is scrambling around trying to gather the evidence to demonstrate that it isn’t their fault (I’m not in the running on this one, just a spectator who wishes no one ill). They’re probably all sending out resumes too, just in case, at least if they’re smart.

    “Are you alone, Mr. Gittes?” ”Isn’t everyone?” Looked great on the big screen. Just an almost perfect movie and it’s hard to nail down why, exactly, it’s almost like a magic trick. Yeah, every performance being perfect is part of it, but it’s deeper than that. The first time Faye Dunaway’s face fills the screen you think “oh yeah, that’s what a freaking movie star looks like.”

    Just a heads up, this one’s much cheaper at Walmart than on Amazon.

    The making-of documentary is actually worthwhile. It’s called I Thought You’d Be Bigger, used to be available on YouTube. The amount of effort that went into the big fight with Jimmy, and the amount of real pain involved (though I know it don’t hurt) was nuts. Vinegar Syndrome has an excellent Road House set, btw.

    I hope that’s not true, that’s basically just trolling people.

    Probably not going to have time to watch anything tonight, feel like I’m letting down the team, but: tomorrow night I get to see Chinatown in the theater! If anyone else is interested, all the Regal theaters near me are showing it tomorrow night for $5. Looks like for at least the next few months, Regal theaters are showing older movies every Wednesday night for $5. Next week they’re showing The Matrix, looks like after that they’re showing Nolan movies for 6 weeks or so (Interstellar, Dunkirk, Insomnia, I forget the others). Might just be my local here, but on May 22nd, there’s an IMAX showing of Uncut Gems and a 65th anniversary showing of North by Northwest, which is where I’ll be. Never seen it in a theater, one of my favorites. Surely we’ll get the 4K disc this year, right?

    Literally. Windy and rainy all day, now it’s sunny and 60, baby.
  17. Heywoodmoutaw
    There’s obviously some racing in it, but I don’t think of it as a racing movie. A Michael Mann movie about a driven guy who’s under a lot of pressure is a better description, I think. I actually think that someone looking for a racing movie would be disappointed.

    Ordered last night and Amazon Italy tells me I’m getting it by Thursday. Awesome!
  19. Heywoodmoutaw
    Really glad it looks like this is a market that Walmart is actively courting, like Best Buy used to.
  20. Heywoodmoutaw
    Both the Walmarts near me started stocking them, though it looked like one was picked clean almost immediately. Going to run to Walmart as soon as I get off on Tuesday and hope for the best I guess.
  21. Heywoodmoutaw
    Do we have any idea which stores in particular?

    Actually just rewatched the end of the first season, going to start the 2nd season now. Really enjoyed the first season, have been holding off on this one until the entire 2nd season was out but couldn’t wait any longer. And to prove how much I love Michael Mann (produced this show and directed the first episode), I just ordered a 4K Ferrari steelbook from Italy. This show is based on a book, based on a true story. Think I would like the book, but don’t want any spoilers.
  23. Heywoodmoutaw
    Ordine effettuato, grazie! Lord the shipping cost. But yeah, eBay would’ve been worse. Paid 2 Euros extra to get it here by the 1st because I’m ready to watch this one again.
  24. Heywoodmoutaw
    Courtesy of Shout’s out of print sale (a couple were weirdly cheaper on Amazon during the sale): What’s that you say? Reversible inserts?? An alternative title even???
  25. Heywoodmoutaw
    I kept thinking someone else would offer this, but I can’t even find 4K available for sale yet, never mind a steelbook. May have to order this one.
