What was the last movie you watched?

Before Sunrise. I enjoyed this - you really do feel like you're seeing these two people gradually getting to know each other and fall in love. It is enough of a Speech-Centric Work that you could probably turn away from the screen and still get the gist of what's going on most of the time... But then you'd miss all the Scenery Porn.

The History Of Future Folk. His planet threatened by an oncoming meteor, an alien is sent to earth to eliminate all human life and claim the planet for his race... Thankfully, he quickly becomes fascinated by the human invention of music, as does the soldier tasked with killing him and continuing the mission; They form a folk duo together, and work on finding a way to save both earth and their home planet Hondo. As you might suspect, Future Folk are a comedy-folk duo with a Robot or Spaceman Alter Ego theme whose formation predates the movie, and this is basically a filmed version of their back-story. It's pretty charming in its low-budget-ness, with a few funny moments. The only small downside is a somewhat unfortunate Stalking is Love subplot. Side observation I made after looking up some youtube performances: in the film, they have red and black jumpsuits and vaguely bucket-shaped space helmets, but in early performances, the helmets were clearly actual buckets with big holes cut into the side and some duct tape for decoration. I liked finding this out because it means 1) when they revamped their uniforms, they must have deliberately decided they should look more polished yet just as silly, and 2) fans in the movie showing up to their shows with homemade bucket helmets was sort of a big in-joke for those who followed their act from the beginning.

That's a good one. :)

Well I only saw the first forty-something minutes of the film. I plan to watch the rest of it. But AWWWW YOUNGER PRE-U.N.C.L.E. DUCKY.

Transformers, the original animated one. Since it's set in 2005, would it now count as historical fiction?

I'm watching Psychomania, the '70s cult British motorcycle gang horror film starring Nicky Henson, Beryl Reid and George Sanders. It's quite good in places, and the vintage British motorbikes are nice too.

Godzilla vs Megalon, well, the MST 3 K episode of it.

"Rex Dart:Eskimo Spy"

Inside Out. All of my feels. Just take 'em!

Mosquito Squadron, starring David Mc Callum and Charles Gray. Better than its reputation, and seeing Mosquito fighter/bombers tearing into the enemy is always fun.

The Big Lebowski. Still one of my favorite movies. I love how I can pick up on new details every time I watched it, and I found myself enjoying the plot a bit more now that I've read a few Raymond Chandler novels and thus appreciated the parody a bit more.

COOL CAT LOVES YOUUUUU!

The last half or so of Angel Heart. Anyone who says that Mickey Rourke isn't one of the greatest actors of his generation is wrong, to be blunt.

Man-Thing (2005)

Ernest et Célestine (w/ English subtitles). Holy crap, this movie is adorable.

I suppose this counts as a documentary film so... "You Can Go To Hell, I'm Going to Texas" presented by Rich Hall.

Kung Fu Panda 2. I'd watch the third sequel if the reviews are good.

The last half or so of "The Hunt for Red October".

Devilman the Birth
