Stuck (2007, d. Gordon) From the director of Re-Animator comes this dark comedy, starring Mena Suvari as a woman on the verge of a promotion who does some X and crashes into Stephen Rea, who hurtles into her windshield. Panicked, Suvari parks Rea in her garage but does nothing to save him.

Started to watch Weapons tonight. The kid's voice bugged me, then that everyone had an upstairs bugged me. A minute later I said fuck it and watched something else. I feel like Lou Reed: "Fuck Radio Ethiopia, I'm Radio Brooklyn."

X (2022, d. West) A sextet of porno filmers rents a cabin for shooting from a creepy-ass looking couple. Also, they’re prudes, which doesn’t work out for their tenants. Pretty good horror flick, first of a trilogy, and yeah, I’ll watch the second.

May (2002, d. McKee) Angela Bettis stars as May, a demented child with an overly controlling mom, who grows up and works for a veterinarian, where she delights in the surgeries. She’s never had a boyfriend so she gets a crush on Adam (Jeremy Sisto),

Police Story (1985, d. Chan) Classic action flick, from the opening village destruction to the closing insane mall fight, with plenty of other action and comedy between. I remembered loving this, and it’s better than I remembered.

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919, d. Wiene) Brilliant film that stands the test of time, with compelling visuals – cubist painted sets that the characters appear to walk on, misshapen doors, oversized chairs – it’s an Expressionist freakshow.

Crossfire (1947, Dmytryk) A man is brutally murdered, investigation ensues. The initial suspect seems too wimpy to kill anyone. It’s a Three Bob Flick, as Robert Montgomery investigates Robert Ryan and Robert Mitchum, among others.

I just looked up the actor Alex Dowding, who played the young Sam Chapman in Slow Horses and looked remarkably like him. Not a lot of info, apparently no relation to Sean Gilder, Chapman in his current phase. Why anyone would care about this trivia, me included, is beyond me.

I was walking with Misha today and a woman said she'd seen us at least once a week, asked my name. I told her Misha's name and she asked again what my name was. I told her, didn't ask hers, because that's how good I am at socializing.
