no, Andy. After that it gets way more Stiller-ish and drops off.

Cobweb is available on streaming. It's a great addition to this year's October spooky season movie list. I don't know why it was in theaters this summer-it literally takes place during Halloween.

I do still really like it. On rewatches I have softened on my stance a little. I love movies within movies, so that's a plus. Downey Jr and a lot of the side characters like McConaughey, McBride, and Nolte make me laugh a bit still. For me, Jack Black gets a little old and what I said to Andy above is true for me - the 2nd half gets a little too Stillery for me to fully love it as a whole.

It took us 3 sessions to get through Babylon. Broken up into 3 one hour episodes made it somewhat bearable but overall not worth watching. There was some potential there and a couple of funny moments but it was a mess.
eta: they should have cut the Toby McGuire scene out completely.

I wanted to watch a movie last night that I knew I wouldn’t have to pay too close attention to because I was pretty drained. Not sure how I landed on The Goodbye Girl but boy did it surprise me, had some real heart and laughs. A little dated in spots and I’m still not a huge Dreyfuss fan but this movie had a certain something. I was pleasantly surprised.

Neil Simon's dialog still (mostly) shines 50 years later. The Goodbye Girl wasn't adapted from one of his plays so it's a little less theatrical.
Robert De Niro was originally cast in the Dreyfuss role.

Snake and Mongoose (2013 - on Prime) is like a poor man's Ford vs. Ferrari. It tells the story of the rivalry/friendship of 60s-70s drag racers Don "The Snake" Prudhomme and Tom "The Mongoose" McEwen.
There are a bunch of sports movie cliches and the family melodrama is pretty thick at times but I enjoyed my time watching it. It's a relatively low budget film but the filmmakers do a nice job of mixing in cool archival drag racing footage and the actors look enough like the real life drivers to be convincing. The casting overall is strong with Tim Blake Nelson and Fred Dryer (!) is memorable supporting roles.

Oh that would have been real interesting to see Bobby in that. Also I did perk up a little when I saw Neil Simon in the credits, I had no idea. The only thing I knew about the movie was Dreyfuss won an Oscar for it.

$30 on Amazon todaySony studios confirmed that thei 4K Ultra HD Steelbook release of David Lean’s Lawrence of Arabia (1962) will be coming back into stock at all your favorite retailers in the next month or two.80s finally watched Heat- hooah!
Now I need to return the favor and finally watch a couple of your suggestions.I guess I did knock out Amadeus last year finally. I did intend to buy Lawrence of Arabia 4K the other day, but when I looked it was about $100+. Nope. I ended up with Blade Runner 2049 and Pulp Fiction instead.

12yo Floppinha wanted to see a scary movie... and I thought we were going to see the latest Agatha Christie thing with Ken Brannagh, but saw It Lives Inside instead. (eta- it's still in theaters)
I know the girl liked it, but she's a maroon. there wasn't much if anything new added stylistically or narratively to the cannon other than it centering around an Indian American family. the plot was pretty heavy handed about assimilation and it borrowed all of its scares (nothing new to see) without doing them terribly well. suffered a bit from low budget and lesser acting. but moron 12yo liked it well enough, so there ya go.

I'm not too worried about the packaging, just thought it would be a good one to have on 4k.

Love Gerwig. She was the reason why I wanted to see the movie that turned into a steaming pile of plastic social commentary.
Rarely funny, the physical comedy completely missed.
Music didn't work for me.
What is the reason to watch?
Gerwig? Margot? That's not enough. Will Ferrell was forgettable old and tired.
The lack of story?
The one-dimensional characters?
I'm sorry but I have no idea why anyone who isn't a vapid 12-year-old girl liked Barbie.

The longer I live, the more I relate to Ed Tom Bell from No Country for Old Men. Substitute in "culture" for crime in "I don't know what to make of that. I sure don't. The crime you see now, it's hard to even take its measure."
I suppose it's always been thus though.

yeah you get it, it happens. Comedies are especially tough to translate along age and time.

I've never been one for comedies much. I think in my entire library of digital/discs - which number about 400 - I think I own eight comedies. And some of those I'm pretty sure I got for free.

We withheld judgement from our teenagers to get their unbiased take after seeing Barbie. Their views were pretty close to ours... ok, fun, but not getting the hype. A couple lol moments for me (not my wife), but otherwise pretty forgettable and lacking new insight or ideas into things, despite it's decent self awareness. Wanted it to be... more. Of anything.

It certainly didn't present any grand new ideas but it was self aware and I thought balanced things quite well. It held Barbie was as a feminist hero while also acknowledging how Barbie is also kind of everything many feminists fight against. The men were a joke but yet in the end, Barbie opted for the real world where men have more power over her fake "perfect" world and of course the female Barbies of the "perfect" world mistreated the males of their world showing that it was far from actually being perfect. Again, not genius necessarily, but quite intelligent for a comedy aiming to work for preteen audiences as well as adults. In the end, it was a comedy and you either find those funny or you don't. I thought it was hilarious but I also had the benefit of seeing it in a sold out show opening night. Nothing can beat a comedy with a crowd.

I'm as far outside the target demographic as any of you farts but put me in the enjoyed Barbie group. It was no cinematic masterpiece but it was a fun diversion for a couple of hours. It delivered enough laughs although mostly in the first half of the movie. They'll probably bludgeon the franchise to death with sequels but for now, it was about as good a movie as could be made with the limited source material.

I liked it. It's not on the level of the Spider Verse movies (what is, really?) but it was fun, funny, and looks fantastic.

I really want you to check out Messiah of Evil if you can find it. It looks like it's on Prime/AMC/Paramount+. I'm still not sure what I watched, and I planned on a rewatch. Just a bizarre, very visual movie I hadn't heard of.

I've seen so many, I am trying to come up with ideas for this year's 31. Scattershot of movies? All 70s? Try to tackle a series I haven't gotten to? All Stephen King?
