First time ever.

Very fun! I found the VO to feel very dated, but loved everything else.


I agree, though I do believe that was intentional.

Yeah, it's totally intentional, but it's just a product of its time: Very snarky, Shane Black 4th wall stuff.

I watched Miami Blues a few nights ago after finishing the book. It was pretty good. One of the better Alec Baldwin performances I can remember.

his movies are super fun! But everything prior to Nice Guys feels very 90s.

my affection for shane black is well documented, as is trag's dislike over the v/o narration in Kiss.

trag -- why does v/o work in Nice Guys?

Just finished the first Kill Bill. I’d not seen it since the theatrical release. Starting the second one now. Never seen it.

Finishing up part 2 this morning. I had forgotten just what a strikingly beautiful creature Uma Thurman is. God damn.

I’ve enjoyed this version (2005) of Pride and Prejudice. Seems a lot more light than I remember (not seen this version before).

How do you pick each year's movies?

It is my collection of digital movies, curated and bought because I want to watch them, whether it’s for the first time or a rewatch, and with everything that is part of that process in choosing movies.

Watching them by year was a project to see classic movies (which I did mostly alone), but turned out to be a great way to watch movies with my wife for modern movies.

No movies that I have seen since the start of 2020 are rewatched, but rather marked as seen on the list since then.

Part one is great. Even if it all feels lke one long movie, the second part (or movie two) isn’t quite as good as the first.

Thurman is amazing.
