Kessel still isnt impressing me much.

Chris, when I was much younger, last year, I used to go to strip joints...for the pool tables.
* ex_machina is an interesting concept film...I like it. 😎
...Too bad it wasn't shot in (((3D))) 😉

♦ Last night I revisited this...in 3D :::
I am very fond of this animated feature film...and like to revisit it once a year...just before the nightmare starts.
@ the strip joints? ...Did you play pacman games, black jack...poker games, did you shoot darts, chicken wings? 🙂
Never been a gamer, or player, for that matter - it was the gustatory and terpsichorian delights, and intellectually stimulating conversations with fellow aficionados of same that were the attractions.
Except for the dancing, much the same reasons for frequenting these fora

"Lady of Chance" == Norma Shearer in the lead. This is a must see silent film, if you have any access through Amazon etc.
I watched so many movies since last time that I don't remember them. ...All Hollywood flicks. If there would have been a good one I would remember.
I'll keep you all posted.

"Gypsy" was on last night on TCM. You have to be able to set yourself back about 90 years to appreciate it.
Same impression on saturday night in the cinema . * Spectre 007*
A friend of mine slept after 10 min and my wife short after the break.....
Last Friday (the 13th) @ around 5:45 PM (Pacific time) I received a phone call from a friend to go see the latest James Bond flick, 'Spectre'. ...And with his wife and another couple. @ the time we both didn't know the news; and I said to him that I was too tired and that I passed.
Only three hours later, roughly, I learned of the news. ...Totally by accident because I don't ever watch TV and even less the news. It was via an audio forum and replying to another member regarding Starbucks new red cups and Donald Trump. The new red cups was the topic, but somehow Trump came into the discussion; and so I simply google 'Trump'.
The first link I got was from a US woman journalist and with a direct reference with Paris attack. ...Just a title and I did not bother to follow her blog. But I did google 'Paris' this time, simply by curiosity.
That's how I first learned about it.
I didn't see the film, 'Spectre', my friends did and they enjoyed it. And they only learned of the sad news after coming back home from the cinema theater.
I'm big on films, and it is very unusual for me to not go see a film that I wanted to see. I was very tired, and feeling out of it; unusual for that time of the day (supper time).
My profound thoughts are with who all of the people deeply suffering all over, with all the families from Paris and around...USA, Britain, Australia, ...roughly twelve countries. ...And way beyond too. ...But Paris @ the very heart; all these young lives gone now. ...And the ones still fighting in hospitals.
What an extremely sad Friday the 13th of November 2015 in Paris, France.
I wish I could do something, so I pray for them, with them, among them.

I watched this last night, on Blu ::
It's from 2001, directed by the Coen brothers...Joel and Ethan.
It was released the same year as 'Mulholland Drive' from David Lynch.
And both movies won awards @ the Cannes Film Festival that year.
It's in black & white.
So many films (bad and good) so little time. And 2015 is a big year for films.
* I've heard that 'Spotlight' (playing @ the theater now) is pretty good, starting Michael Keaton and Mark Ruffalo. ...Powerful stuff.
Enjoy the weekend all. Be safe, be good.

Jessica Jones - Netflix - quite a different tone for a female lead from the Marvel world than Agent Peggy Carter - even the best of us are flawed / damaged to some degree, just not this "heroically"
Finished the 13 episodes of Jessica- two words about David Tennant - one of them unprintable here ( try to guess), and the other "Brilliant"
Got around to catching "The Martian" in 3D at the Nat Geo Imax last night. When Ridley doesn't get carried away with his own incomprehensible, incoherent storylines, he can still craft a decent enough film 😀
Some dramas truly do need the largest screen and biggest sound available to deliver the full impact, and it wasn't hard to see where a lot of the $108M or more budget went. That's a lotta sand, and I'll bet Matt won't be looking at a baked potato quite the same way for a while.
I liked it more than many critics, but then I'm not as discriminating as the cinema or science nerds who've thrilled at tearing this "a new one"
