Add to that list -- Gattaca
Andrew Niccol and Alex Garland are two writer/directors who produce some interesting work.
BTW, Kathleen Kennedy is retiring from Lucasfilm this year.
Big shoes to fill, and no doubt a tough job.

It looked bad just from the trailer I saw...Yes. It was gross
Love the movie "Hidden Figures." 🩷Part way through The Six Triple Eight. Another film, like Hidden Figures, about forgotten African American women.

Everyone from my parents generation are just about gone.RIP Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa.
RIP Michele Trachtenberg.
What a damn shame on all three accounts.
I think that this video describes your feelings. It’s a long one but definitely worth a watch.Sidenote on Bethesda, Fallout 4, and Starfield, game talk. For it’s time, Fallout 4 is a most wonderful exercise in escapism and the interactions with NPC‘s (non-player characters for anyone not familiar with the term) was good enough, it got me hooked on having a companion, or multiple NPC companions in an adventure where you play by yourself, but you feel like you have company. I love it when they confide in me their problems and ask for help. And as unrealistic as it is just by virtue of spending time with you, they grow to like and love you. In my opinion, this is superior to a co-op or online game where (human) tourists pollute the environment. 😉 In the solo game, you alone make the world what it is.
If you make it to Starfield, give a shout or read my rants about it in the Starfield thread (the Gaming form). Bethesda’s failure was producing a new game that still relied on a decade old conversation matrix from the F4 era, and today it comes across as so awkward, and a hindrance to immersion. “How’s it going?” Me: “Oh shut up!” 😊😉
I recommend watching the original. The American version is nice, but it completely overhauls the main concept so that they can do the “hero” thing. The original is one of the best movies I’ve seen last year.Speak No Evil (2024)- Nice thriller. An unsuspecting family becomes the prey of another couple. My critique is that the slow burn feels dragged out.

Mutual suicide or gas leak kinda accident?
Thanks. It was actually 5 tests. Studied, can’t drink coffee, didn’t sleep well.
- Please limit your caffeine intake to less than 10% of your body weight.
- Cramming is comforting, but really provides less benefit than a good night's sleep. (See point 1).
- Good luck.
I haven't heard anything else. Seems they've ruled out a gas leak though...Everyone from my parents generation are just about gone.

Hadn't seen it for a while. Couldn't find the disk so had to re-order. This 40th anniversary edition is visually stunning even in 1080p. Movie is just as entertaining and jaw dropping as it was when released 50 years ago.
Throwing toast and rice....those were the days.Nice, I posted here 2 weeks ago watched it.
For me this was part of my teen formation years. 1979, I was part of a movie theater cleaning crew for 4 months. We cleaned 2 cineplexes then, rotated cleaning .. yea Rocky Horror, in its hey day. Just surreal now looking back at it thru my 62 year old life lens. Week after week for months it played Friday and Saturday nights.
I hear every word of this in my mind.
Science fiction... double feature/Frank has built and... lost his creature Darkness has conquered... Brad and Janet/The servants gone to... a distant planet/ Whoa-oh-oh-ohh/At the late-night... double feature... picture show/l wanna go/Ah-ohh/To the late-night... double feature... picture show.
Best thing to happen to Star Wars. She has put out non stop garbage and basically ruined the whole franchise for many people who get tired of every thing that comes out save for a small select few (Andor).BTW, Kathleen Kennedy is retiring from Lucasfilm this year.
