Speaking of heist movies, Vas Blackwood - who played Rory Breaker in Lock, Stock - turned 63 today. The heist here being, of course, half my life.

The French are not doing much to avoid the inevitable Clouseau references.

Meanwhile there’s a small person being lowered into the roof by a fishing pole while the French inspectors all focus on the ladder.

Put the kids to bed and fire up Tubi for some absolute Halloween schlock with extra cheese.

I saw two movies this past week. One I can’t stop thinking about: “If I had legs I’d kick you“ starring Rose Byrne and Conan O’Brien (???). I can’t say it’s an enjoyable movie, probably the most stress inducing thing I’ve ever seen, but Rose Byrne was fantastic and unforgettable.

The other one was Bugonia. I hated it so much I’m still mad.

Good to read. Haven’t seen it, but it’s on my need-to-see radar.

Glad to hear that. I haven’t seen it yet, but I plan to.

I saw Caught Stealing, and it had its moments, but overall it was kind of meh.

I hate Yorgos Lanthimos so much. I hope he never makes another movie. Everything from him is “ooOOOoOoooOo look at me I’m so twisted, I’m a twisted little pervert, look at meeeeee”

I hope he makes a lot more movies for the perverts like me who enjoy them.

If you like that kind of thing, the new Predator movie is quite fun.

More of a “found family” feel good after school special than what i was expecting. Silly me thought it would be scify action horror, which it is, a little bit.

I finally got around to watching House of Dynamite.

My advice? Don’t.

House of dynamite. The multi-part structure was good (Weapons used it in a similar way recently too). Always glad to see Jared Harris in a movie. Stringer Bell was a nice suprise. Thought the broad and thick incompetence strained credulity
then i recalled the current cast of characters in our current regime.

Listening to Rebecca Ferguson’s ever-evolving accent was fun.
