After discovering what a terrible year 1965 was for movies in our recent @cinemashame.bsky.social episode, it's legit shocking how many good films came out just a year later--and my favourite is still the one where Adam West can't get rid of a bomb.

For Tim Allen reasons, we talked about* his remake of THE SHAGGY DOG and how it's a perfect example of how fretting about remakes is absurd because we had all forgotten it existed until we looked at his IMDb today. Meanwhile, I just checked Disney+ and it's not on there. But the original movie is.

At the end of last year's @cinemashame.bsky.social holiday episode with @dandelgado.bsky.social, I joked we should do THE SANTA CLAUSE 3 next, even though I've never seen the other two films. Fast forward to tonight and I actually have to watch it. Don't make jokes, kids. They can catch up on you.

Now if someone cast Deutch as Seberg in a movie about the making of PAINT YOUR WAGON, I would take a day off work to be there for the opening day matinee.
Reading about NOUVELLE VAGUE begs the question, "Will Allan watch a biopic about a filmmaker he dislikes making a movie he's never enjoyed just because he wants to see if Zoey Deutch can pull-off Jean Seberg?"
