i saw that on netflix last night and hovered over it and it auto played a preview scene with the guy in the bar being rude and i was like i will watch this scene to see how it ends and it ended stupidly and then i stopped watching and that was the only peaky blinders thing i ever saw.

jo jo dancer, your life is calling (1986)
starring richard pryor it's about a successful comedian looking back on events in his life i had never heard of it before and i thought it looked thematically very similar to all that jazz which was really something else but i wasn't really drawn into this story, partly because richard pryor's acting in parts just seemed way too stiff and forced great soundtrack and lots of the supporting cast were great especially in the first club he gets a job at and the scenes at his grandmother's house but overall fairly bland for me and i thought the ending was a bit of a let down

Just curious - why did you watch it? It's kind of an obscure Pryor flick. I think I remember seeing the trailer, but haven't seen the film.

it popped up when i started typing 'jo jo' (looking for jo jo bizarre adventure per calvinhob recommendation) and then also i thought i remembered some simpsons thing where someone was like 'homer simpson this is your life' then i watched like opening 5 minutes and was like hell yeah overall it was fine i guess, i just thought it was going to be more heart stopping like a.t.j.

Gotcha. That's so spontaneous and brave. And yeah, if you haven't seen The Toy you might want to check it out. It's ludicrous. I'm pretty sure I saw it alone in the theater as a kid, probably a Sunday matinee. My mom would just drop me off at the cinema and, I guess, come back and pick me up after ninety mins - two hours. Sometimes we'd both go to see a movie, but she'd go to hers, I'd go to mine and we'd meet up after. I can't imagine that being a thing now.
So far 2026 has been good movies between this and Good Luck Have Fun Don't Die. So maybe this is a good movie year?
But also Goat Basketball movie was the worst experience of any kind of my entire life so there is a case to be made that 2026 is the worst movie year ever also.

if you pause around 1'07 in this colbert conan interview, just after colbert says "questionaire", conan purses his lips for a moment, and then sort of drops the corners of his mouth and looks up
just for a moment when this happened i was like, dang that suddenly doesn't even look like conan anymore but this other famous person and i couldn't pin point who it reminded me of
who is that? (timestamped to start @ 1'04)
then finally i was like i must be thinking of john de lancie, the actor who played Q on star trek
and i was like 80% sure that's who it was thinking of but then i started doubting it and thought maybe is it dennis hopper i'm thinking of? then i thought the guy from the movie the beach who criticizes leonard di caprio all the time and sort of mocks his shark story
but it was trippy how how suddenly it just didn't appear to be conan anymore

last night i briefly started the squeeze (1987) starring michael keaton it's remastered and looks great, only watched 15-20 minutes got a truly great generic 80's soundtrack so far; he lives in an abandoned warehouse where he works on his art, which again is really impressive in this remastered version, also costarring the guy who betrays the crew of the ebbechenezzer* in the matrix lol

Thought it was going to be fairly well done trash, but it was clever and weird, using different POV and time-jumping for twists. Maybe not as cleanly as it could have, but still. I liked it.
Beautiful. Bring lots of tissues. Jessie Buckley is amazing. Paul Mescal who plays the Tutor is amazing as support Her performance would not have been believable if it weren't for his. The writing and direction *chef's kiss*

South Park: Bigger Longer and Uncut.
Been a few years since I've seen it. Husband Mcfiance face (what am I calling him now?) used to work with a lady named Toddy who was the voice of Wynona Rider (and also played Polly pry in Cannibal! The Musical) and dated Trey Parker for a while. It's fun to hear her voice in the movie. She was really cool and singed my cannibal! Dvd.

I have a Wet Hot American Summer DVD that I had Michael Showalter, Michael Ian Black and David Wain sign at a vid store screening of their Stella DVD. They were all dicks about it. Still love the moviefilm. Wish I could've bought a copy of the Stella DVD because I think it got got for music copyright stuff.

Last Straw (2003)
It was fine, not terrible. The cheesy synth scoretrack was bad, though. I liked the tweest. Jessica Belkin was good.

the squeeze (1987) an ok movie i guess with an impressively huge dinosaur made out of tvs somewhat featured in it and this is going to sound so stupid because i suppose it is, but this movie, set in nyc in the 80,s, really really nails the 1980's nyc aesthetic nyc streets with steam rising out of sewers in the streetlights, deserted factories, but also interior spaces like the bad guys office, the private eye's office, michael keaton's place, all the cars and the people and their attitude near the end there's an event taking place on a stars and stripes decorated battleship like that cher music video from i'm guessing the 80's also overall and ok average movie but worth watching this remastered version - can't find the soundtrack anywhere on youtube but as i said it is a top tier 80's nyc soundtrack
I decided to hurt myself last night and rewatch Romero's last 2 zombie flicks, Diary and Survival of the Dead.
Both were bad, but Diary was a bit better than I remember, and Survival was even worse than I remember. A shame.
He kinda...stopped being subtle about his social/political commentary. In fact, he went complete opposite, to the side of very not subtle, and he relies too much on unique (and just silly) kills (with terrible cgi), and dumb caricature ethnic characters. But come on, some of the best makeup effects ever in his first three films, then real shit chi was just so disappointing.
