Network (1976) watch along

I loved this movie and yet it’s hard for me to explain why as I try and wrap my brain around it only once. Network #64 on the AFI list deservedly so. It’s sharp, relentless, and somehow still feels uncomfortably current almost 50 years later.

The amount of monologues and powerhouse speeches in this thing is unreal. I don’t even know how they pulled it off (okay, I do—a ton of work and actors who had the chops to pull it off with fire and nuance). It’s one of those movies that ...

Classic Movie Suggestions

Classic Movies came in 3rd Place in the last poll, and since I ruled April, you get to rule MAY wahahah! 😽

This is a hard genre to nail down, so choose wisely!!!

Google Says:

"A classic movie is generally regarded as being of high quality and enduring relevance. It's a film that leaves a lasting impression, is frequently re-watched, and continues to be appreciated and discussed years after its release."

The Great Escape (1963)

Hey everyone!

I escaped the tech difficulties that popped up and it felt very method while watching this movie! I had to fix this and that! Like these men I was resourceful! Who knows if Mercury’s in retrograde, but I caught it all within seconds! Except… didn’t notice my mic dropped for about 10 minutes in the middle—ugh. So sorry about the audio in that stretch. Thankfully, backup mic came to the rescue!

The Coen Bro's Director Movie Poll

Hi Everyone! I have missed you!

Okay, so I pulled a list from Wikipedia of the movies they made together. I was originally aiming to focus only on the ones they co-directed, but I ended up including a couple from this list even if it was just one that Directed but both wrote or worked on together.

If a movie isn't on the list, it's because it's already on the channel. I did watch Fargo when I was a kid, I don't remember much about it, so I decided to leave that one off fo...

Well… 3/3 for ME with this trilogy. 😽

I've rewritten this post 6 times since Monday.

Each of these films in the Before trilogy breaks and heals us in different ways. Before Midnight, though— this one, it lingers. It has echoed in my thoughts and SOUL, like a conversation you/we once have/had or should have had. Watching...

Okay, I’m not gonna lie—while I think this movie IS magical, I couldn’t help but compare it to my all-time fave, The Sound of Music. I know—they're totally different films, made just a year apart, and there’s really no reason to stack them against each other. But still!
