🎬 Film Refs
🖇️ Re this - fixed. It seems that I am definitely am all over the place on movie watching.
Now, at the age of 94, Clint’s career is finally winding down towards its end …
A random quote I just stumbled across … replace 94 with 84 - and the quote would still have been valid ten years ago
Since then he’s directed 8 films including Jersey Boys, American Sniper and Sully …
Maybe he’ll see 104?
I’ll come back to this later. Lefsetz has already connected some dots .. but he didn’t go on and introduce the lurking ‘hobby’ that ‘solves this’ and is a clear and present danger to the entertainment industry if they continue to focus on BAU.
The last paragraph.
Homeless People - Soccer - Movie - Awareness .....
I watched a lovely little movie last night - fresh out on Netflix with Bill Nighy in the lead role.
Great movie? Not at all. Just one of those lovely little movies that I happen to enjoy - and seemingly that Bill happens to enjoy making.
Anyway - it got me to wondering. Is there really a soccer World Cup for homeless people? Turns out yes - yes there is …
The Real Story Behind The Beautiful Game
Member Countries — Homeless World Cup
I am part of a burgeoning collective that is out there and can be found - but we aren’t yet promoting. Homelessness is one of the threads running through the collective. I haven’t heard talk of this particular event - BUT - I am going to post this post into the timeless space and see what I can find.
Want to know more about that collective and what we are doing - Let Me Know
Started watching a new series on Netflix. First episode definitely has me hooked ,,, though it seemed that I knew the plot. So, looked it up. Of course I knew the plot. It was a movie from a 5(?) years ago. A very good movie actually. But different as it was, the connections were tight - even down to the directorial style. It was if the TV dude was emulating the Film dude … 🤦♂️ similar! Identical. It was the same director - Guy Ritchie - I do love me some ‘Guy’.
Turns out that he made the movie and then turned around and said - right them let’s do a TV show. It’s going to be good.
🖇️ 📽️ The Gentlemen
🎵 🎬 Listening to Steve Howe in interview and my mind keeps hearing Billy Mac (Bill Nighy) being interviewed in Love Actually.
🎬 🔗 Netflix Has The Best Assassin Movie of 2024 — Why Is It Being Buried? (Apple News)
Never heard of it. But then it isn’t coming out until June. Added to my list for sure. But why is it being ‘buried’? Well first we have to ask is it being buried? I am not sure it is?
🔗 LIfe Imitating Art? … that is if 🎬 Love Actually counts as ‘art’?
Friend 1: Do not watch ‘🔗 🎬 Leave The World Behind’.
Friend 2 : I’ll watch it - I like to make my own mind up, not just listen to what others think.
Me : Cool - have you seen Barbie?
Friend 2 : Oh no. I don’t like the messaging behind that one.
Me : Messaging? What about making ….. oh never mind.
🎬 Evgeny Afineevsky is director of ‘Freedom On Fire’ .. it’s about to start … private showing at the conference .. he will be talking afterwards.
📎 The rock’s the star: meditative film about a Cornish stone goes global
Added this 🎬 to my ‘find and watch’ list.
… and 🔗 this one … though totally different.
🎬 When I read sometime next week about how Barbie is ‘out performing’ Oppenheimer at the box office, I will point people to this image. I admit it is but one theatre in the nation - but I bet the proportions of screens are about right.
🔗 I survived the Barbie-Oppenheimer double-bill and I don’t recommend it.
Over three hours for one of them. The double bill is out for me …
Reader, do not attempt Barbenheimer. Or at least, if you do decide to do Barbenheimer, please don’t do it in the order I went to see it. If you take anything from this, it’s that you should really go and see Barbie first. Because otherwise, and I’m talking from very recent first-hand experience, the effect is a little like having your mother’s funeral invaded by a flashmob of parking circus clowns. Which, you know, isn’t exactly ideal.
🎬 It would be around 1,315 days - cant be more exact, because I am not sure of the first date, since I last went to a Theater to watch a movie.
The movie back in late 2019 was Knives Out, yesterday’s was Asteroid City. (I only reviewed 🖇️ Knives Out 2) - 3 stars and flagged as better than 1 if that gives you a clue.
Both coincidentally featured an ‘ensemble cast’. (I don’t make a habit of those kinds of movies.)
But the funny thing is that we saw last night’s movie with the same couple that we saw Knives Out. That is the only time we have been to the movies with those friends and the only time we have been to that particular Theater.
Like pandemic bookends.
🎬 There’s a movie out there just released called the 🔗 Sound of Freedom
Good reviews on IMDB … serious subject … but it seems to this observer that it is being artificially promoted. I’ve also had some back chatter that all is not what it seems.
Any thoughts from those that read this post?
