Interesting….
The only time I discuss this “event” is here at MovieSpat. Whenever I see the topic I think it’s on deck, but shyt, we’re still a month out from this happening….
Keep us posted , BKB….also, being a month away and this being “boxing”, something could happen and the show canceled….still, it’ll be a game-day decision if and where I watch this “fight”…
Cheers…

Maybe it was A Woman Under the Influence- at times a tough watch but Gena Rowlands nails it there…dark, emotional, scary, yet I couldn’t stop watching…it’s one of those films I tell myself needs a repeat viewing, but it’s such an emotional trip I keep putting it off— same with Requiem of a Dream and Room (2015)
Back to your original topic; the attention span thing is obvious, but also the way media/content is presented and consumed is ever-changing. Apps can be clunky so sometimes I just give up and watch a game or do something else. Also contributing to less movie watching for me— my favorite theater closed down a few years back and I just haven’t found a suitable alternative. It was gem of place: easy access, great seating, excellent customer service, two bars, great popcorn….and clean restrooms, which is a notable thing in my town — damn I miss that place….
But I’m fortunate to live in a town where theaters can still be supported , for now. Movie houses are my preference for film viewing even though I have a nice setup at home. I feel bad for smaller towns where it appears the cinematic experience will go by the wayside…..
From the totally random files, Billy hicks- totally looking forward to game 4 tonight , DEN@MIN….

I thought the same thing, that’s why I had to keep Streep off my list, it just might not work. I went a little offbeat with my selections because I had to consider balance: some comic relief, some sass, some sexy , some serious. Any set of top 10 best actresses— a subjective list, indeed— probably wouldn’t fly…
Maybe. I know my love for the new is being stretched with some of the offerings, but some of my issues are my time constraints. But I like to think if there were movies that struck a chord I’d make the time. I just don’t see a lot. There’s some out there, enough to keep me content, but I’m thinking of what’s arguably the last golden age, the 90s. A bunch to choose from in that decade.
I think good movies are still being made but the proliferation of content and the mediums chosen to bring it to the masses are overwhelming. I’ll go into an app and see so many new movies I never knew existed. So much to sift through . Makes it feel like a crapshoot. I do value this site for the posters that make good recommendations because it saves time. (Not a new movie but I think it was you that rec’d “The Killing of a Chinese Bookie” and I liked it, so there’s folks here that still like to discuss film despite the MovieSpat threads)
Cheers…
Thought of another…
How to Please a Woman (2022) -Renee Webster
Australian film billed as a drama, which I find interesting because I just thought it was funny with quite of few hilarious moments. Maybe more of a dramedy. With a title like that you’d think it’s an exercise in pandering: a woman starts a house-cleaning business and who would be the perfect employees for this role reversal? But I thought it was totally tongue-firmly-planted-on-ass-cheek humor with a dash of heart and, yes, crudity. Cheeky, heart, crudity and good dialogue, count me in….
I Think We're Alone Now (2018) - Reed Morano
I think Morano’s primary trade is cinematography, but I liked her direction here, which I’m sure was aided by her keen eye. Not perfect and the pacing felt like a slog at times, but with the apocalyptic vision displayed here the overall flow works. Superb efforts from Peter Dinklage and a good turn by Elle Fanning. Only four roles here; the other credits go to Paul Giamatti and Charlotte Gainsbourg.
Unsure of the context, but I’ll try…
For sports prognostications, my limit is usually larger than most recreational players/fish….
Cards, I don’t mind a good 7-card stud session, but not for pocket change; besides, it’s hard to find a stud game anymore. So mostly it’s no limit hold ‘em, with a decent enough buy-in to keep the chasers away….occasional hi-lo Omaha …
Cheers….
Hahaha, you ain’t lying there, Parker….lol
But for me, it would be Little Caesars pizza…talk about a 7 dollar colonic ……
Makes no difference what you say…
Lose some…
Great in “Cold war”….also very nice in a bit part in another Pawlikowski film, “Ida”
Why
Annie Lennox
Usher
Caught up
Damn, another one I think I know but maybe not…
Have you posted this before? Not complaining or anything, but what gets me is I might’ve answered it then and can’t think of it now….
All right all right all right….
I’m not a complete dinosaur, my total for answers of songs made this century slowly climbs….
Unwritten, Natasha Bedingfield
I’m curious….this reads familiar.
I’ll use a lifeline- I’ll take any hint you see fit to provide…
I need to quit watching “Devil Wears Prada”….but Streep was so good
I’m not sure I’ve ever listened to this song outside of that movie.
I think it’s named ‘suddenly I see’
Don’t know the artist….
