I've been curious about something, and I'm not sure how to ask it without risking sounding like a dick, so let me just preface this by saying I'm genuinely asking out of curiosity and not to criticize: JCF also used to just post a movie poster image or IMDb link without commentary on a daily basis without saying anything about it. Is that just the movie equivalent of a "now spinning" post? Are these films you're watching for the first time? Rewatching? Are these conversation starters, or a running journal of what you've watched?

The funny thing is I actually enjoy the photo of the screen while watching as opposed to the poster/link. It’s weird because they are kinda the same thing but the a post of the image taken while in the act of watching seems a bit more substantial for whatever reason.

I take it as a conversation starter but also a bit of a BeReal-type thing. 'Here's what I'm doing right now!'

I didn’t know about it either until SNL did a sketch about it…

Good movie but the original TV version with Alec Guinness blows it out the water

I have yet to see the Guinness version but sadly, the blu-ray (US version, at least) looks pretty bad. I do really like the newest version, even more than the first time i saw it back in 2011 when i got it on blu-ray. Wanted to watch it again over the years but never got around to it. Then a 4K was announced, got it and finally got to see it again. So i guess the next time i see it will be on yet another format lol

Yeah, i guess it's a bit like a "now spinning" post. This is the main movie thread so i figured it was the appropriate place. Some are rewatches, some are first time. I try to add some text (have a little on a few of them) but, being both autistic and ADD, I have always struggled to articulate how i feel about things and can take a really long time to write something (this post, for example) because i get distracted by all sorts of things 🙂

It's never bothered me, and on the contrary, I like knowing that someone on here is just watching something cool every dang night.
 
Going to try in earnest to catch up on some notable misses before the end of the year (on top of my Advent Calendar horror challenges). Kicked things off with the Korean thriller Midnight. PHEW. This one's riveting.

A deaf interpreter falls witness to a serial killer mid-spree, landing his sights dead on her.

Currently streaming on Prime, Tubi, and Plex.

Midnight (2021)

A serial killer ruthlessly hunts down a deaf woman through the streets of South Korea after she witnesses his brutal crime.

I started watching this a few months back, but realized (
after the first, um, erotic car scene)
that I wasn't in the mood for it at the time. I should return to it soon. I did enjoy Raw a good amount.

That was something, especially considering what happened right before that haha

You should. I would say overall it is slightly better than Raw.
