Ah, another nocturnal soul, I see. No head down till the sun comes up.
JK, but you'll want to turn that "maybe" into a "gonna" pretty soon if you want to sleep before 2:00.

I'm on a 3rd shift tonight working til 6am! And when there's a slow night, I can usually get a movie in.

West Side Story will be on D+ tomorrow, fyi. So I'll have access to stream WSS, King Richard, Dune, Power of the Dog, and Drive My Car out of the best picture nominees now. WSS and KR I'm going to save to watch with my gf, and maybe I'll watch Dune tonight.

Do you have Apple? CODA streaming there, I loved it.

Don't have Apple, but could always do the free trial for it. As long as it works on an Android device.

Do the trial and make sure and watch Ted lasso while you're at it!

 

[Bohnjaggs]

Do the trial and make sure and watch Ted lasso while you're at it!

And every other Apple+ series too. If that's not too overwhelming.

 

[JohnnyCashFan]

really enjoy this one written & directed by Jonah Hill

I need to watch! I've heard it's great.

Do it!

 

[tvham]

Do it!

I don't know, was about to start my fifth rewatch of Ted Lasso...

 

[gaporter]

So, Drive My Car, huh? Phew.

 

[Bull Shannon]

So, Drive My Car, huh? Phew.

They drove that car, man.

Really, great moviegoing experience; felt like I was just hanging with the movie for 2:45, then the ending brought it all together for me and I couldn’t stop thinking about it.

I don't typically rewatch shows, but I've seen almost every Apple TV series and every one has been excellent

 

[CrazyDiamond84]

So, Drive My Car, huh? Phew.

Hoping to get to this tonight.

Just saw this came to HBO Max. I usually enjoy Wes Anderson fare, so I'll probs watch it soon.

I know what I'm doing this weekend now that there are no parades.

I know what I'm doing this weekend now that there are no parades.

I'm also hoping to watch Drive My Car and West Side Story in the next couple of days! Also might rent Belfast to help put a big dent in the BP nominees. So far CODA is my favorite.

 

[CrazyDiamond84]

Dune was good. Excited now for part 2. So far I'd say:
Licorice Pizza 4/5
Dune 3.5/5
Don't Look Up 3/5

 

[JohnnyCashFan]

more skater action tonight

The Batman reviews are good and liken it more to a dark hardboiled noir like Zodiac or Seven than your average superhero film, guess I'll be seeing my first one in a very long time.

One of the negative reviews said it was darkly shot, as in the lighting. And now I'm getting PTSD flashbacks to The Long Night GoT episode where you couldn't decipher much of anything during the battle. I just hope there are some lighter scenes to contrast the constant doom and gloom vibe. And I don't mean lighter comedic Marvel style scenes but just like, the lighting light.

Having just sat through the dark amorphous blob that is Aliens vs Predator: Requiem, I wonder if The Batman's lighting (or alleged lack thereof) can truly compete with that.
