My favorite scene was when he tries to play "Let It Be" for his parents.
Everyone who has ever tried to show their parents something important and meaningful while their parents are totally absorbed in being, well, themselves, can identify.
And we live to fight another day.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Our wings are not tired.
It was a completely charming movie. Good idea for comfort food as needed.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Loved that movie.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I loved Yesterday. It was an utterly charming little film.
I watched Doctor Sleep with DH last night. I never liked The Shining so this was a bit of a stretch for me. While I liked the young girl protagonist, I just found it so ridiculously full of plot holes and hand waving. And minimal nods to Kubrick and Nicholson.

I am making my silly Movie Google Docs semi-public if anyone wants some structure to a movie watching project. Of course just watching what is comfortable is always a great choice. This messy spreadsheet documents Oscar nominees for several years and which ones I watched and then has a tab with 1971-2017 Best Picture nominees and then another tab with 1970 - 2001 10 highest grossing films per year.

I've been wondering if we should do some sort of group watch thing.
In theory I'm still doing my Century Plus of Cinema project, but it stalled somewhat due to my work schedule in February and now, with the Math Greek here, it is not really feasible to be mainlining silent movies from the 1910s and 20s. (In fact, he has a maddening tendency to want to watch things that are not part of the plan, or freely available, at all.)
Right now, I'm trying to keep us focused on what is expiring from Criterion at the end of the month, which is mostly the Burt Lancaster and Danny Kaye collections. The Court Jester anyone?

Group watch sounds fun

Ann, that's a ferret.
Burt Lancaster? Is Trapeze available?
Burt and Tony Curtis play a team of trapeze artists -- and then along comes Gina Lollobrigida. Incredibly strong HoYay for a 1950s movie, even if it's all subtext.
