Share a 90s movie you think deserves more love…
That’s tough. Most of the 90s movies I really love are generally appreciated; the more obscure ones are mostly critical favorites.
“I wish more people would see Drifting Clouds!”
“No shit.”
But Next Stop Wonderland (con’t).

I am not sure why it took me 20+ years to realize I should keep TTRPG campaign material in file folders, further organized with liberal use of paperclips, but here I am.

NW: Choice of Arms, the last movie in the @filmsradiance.bsky.social Alain Corneau boxed set. It’s been a great set so far, although real world death and sexual abuse casts a dark shadow over these already fairly dark movies. 🎥

Last day of work before vacation is a good time for #LastFourWatched. And what a week -- two special screenings most recently, both with the director presenting, plus a classic Varda I've been saving. 📽️

Really good #LastFourFriday. Yes yes I like Westerns now, you got me. Also one excellent new release, a Canadian classic (watched with @smichele.bsky.social, her first Maddin, fun!) and an obscure French political romance thriller with two great actors. 📽️

Repost with an iconic fictional band. 🎸🥁🎸🎶
Josie and the Pussycats (movie version) is the easy correct answer, but I haven’t seen them live in a little high school gym on Nantucket, so…

Picked up some dry erase tokens from TacticalTokens.com which worked very well for Feng Shui shot count markers. Witness the PCs:

Sleepy tonight but #LastFourWatched calls! Two shorts, two full length movies. I don’t spend enough time with the Criterion Channel’s shorts and I’m always glad when I do explore them. 📽️

Share an awesome 70s movie!
Just watched this and it blew me away; I was expecting rough around the edges Altman and I got this amazing slice of dark American satire.

Hey, let's do #LastFourWatched! I wrapped up #Hooptober, of course, not on a terribly high note (two bad movies by good directors, sigh) but Phase IV made up for it as an unexpected joy. 📽️

NW: Phase IV, Saul Bass’ only directorial effort. Our final movie of #Hooptober. I’ve been idly curious about this for years. 📽️

For #LastFourFriday this week, I am still deep in October horror viewing. My spot of relief was a Fassbinder, chosen as a counterpart to Suspiria, which was a good choice. Oh, and I have now watched all of Lynch's feature movies. 📽️

Better late #LastFourFriday than never! Back into the swing of #Hooptober plus one Ingmar Bergman because without variety what are you? This weekend's variety may be Pusher since I picked up the boxed set in Dublin; I'm not sure that qualifies as a break from horror but it'll make me happy. 📽️

While I’m thinking about Letterboxd thangs, I’m amused by my most seen actors of the year. Not sure I’ve ever had a year with this much cinematic masculine energy in it.

Sitting on a plane returning to Seattle: time for #LastFourWatched! Had a break from #Hooptober since I’m doing that with @smichele.bsky.social, so I took the opportunity to catch up on some new releases and visit the very cool Lighthouse Cinema in Dublin. Jet lag ruined my Kogonada plans, alas. 📽️
