A few years ago, in what may have been my last enjoyable interaction on Twitter, I asked for movie recommendations. And yall brought the HEAT.

Let's do it here!

What are some all-time movies that haven't won big awards and aren't super well known that I need to watch?

That's twenty-seven flat-out murders. That's twenty-seven lives taken without even a semblance of a legal justification under domestic or international law.

Jenny Nicholson tweet continues to not miss

@JennyENicholson

How come major film studios keep being like Jared Leto may have allegations, but at least he looks weird, stars in box office bombs, and is not a good actor

Love when the innovative genius business savant overseeing the tech propping up the whole stock market is focused on vital concerns like "erotica for verified adults." Same experts who made Pets.com jokes for two decades now fully believe this is The Future. The next John D. Rockefeller, everybody.

(Then we just edit our 60% of the surprise hotel inspector's screen time, replace that with a few more scenes in Mexico, and we're damn near perfection)

Pick a movie that could have been great. Recast ONE role to fix it.

Ocean's Thirteen is still solid but Al Pacino is goofy and offputting, drags down every scene. Give me Robert Redford and we have a more serious, menacing foil to take down. Instantly a more suitable conclusion to our best trilogy.

The Snowman (2017)
Recast: Detective Harry Hole with Michael Shannon
How it's fixed: Shannon’s unhinged intensity turns this icy mess into a psychological horror. You feel the frostbite and existential dread.

Mine is "The Godfather- Part 3," recasting Sophia Coppola (great director, but should not have been given this role) with Jennifer Jason Leigh.

Here's my pitch: you back a Brinks truck to John Carpenter's house and he makes a legacy sequel to THEY LIVE where we willingly put the aliens back in charge. Like we know they're aliens. They're still here. They're trying to kill and enslave us. We all have glasses. And we reelected them anyway.

Why have a credential system at all? Because both institutions got something out of it.
