#NowWatching Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)

Background TV as I wind down my work day.

I'll work my way through the main 9 movies over the next few days, and starting with The Phantom Menace might be sacrilege to some, but who cares.

#NowWatching Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992)

I haven't seen this in a long time. Rewatching before I rewatch all seasons of the show.

Posts henceforth shall be CWd for spoiler suppression considerations.

#NowWatching Batman (1989)

Been a while since I saw this one.
There are a lot of beautiful sets and light rigs in this one.

I still think it's funny, and a bit of a shame, that the Batman costume dictated much of Keaton's performance. Why'd it have to be so hard to move around in??

#NowWatching No Time to Die (2021)

Skipping over Spectre and closing out my "watch all Bond movies that are convenient to see" run with this.

I don't expect to be thrilled.

#NowWatching GoldenEye (1995)

Here we go. Brosnan era begins here.

#NowWatching Species (1995)

I forget which one this is. There were a couple similar movies like this released around the same time iirc.

#NowWatching Terror at Bigfoot Pond (2020)

I'm starting out with what I expect to be a stinker, hopefully leaving enough time for a chaser.

Once again, found footage is hard to do, y'all. I think a lot of folks tackle it without realizing it's got its own set of challenges.

#NowWatching Quantum of Solace (2008)

People are always telling me which of these Daniel Craig Bond movies are good or not good, but I forget which one this is supposed to be.

#NowWatching Alien (1979)

I'm watching the director's cut, which didn't release until 2003 (per this bluray's menu).

#NowWatching The Matrix (1999)

Frost my tips and jack me in.

#NowWatching Spiral (2021)

I'm so mad about a recent two-time pharmacy staffing fuck up and now I'm going to watch this movie which I expect to displease me. Insult? Meet Injury.

#NowWatching Friday the 13th Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989)

Notable in so much as I think this was the first time we had the same actor as Jason in 2 movies, back to back. This is Kane Hodder's reprisal of the role.

#NowWatching Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993)

Kane Hodder is back for the 3rd time as Jason.

The gap between the previous movie and this one is the largest so far in the franchise. 4 years went by before Jason was back in theaters!

The height of the slasher era had been long gone at this point, so it's sort of surprising this one got made at all, let alone Jason X or Freddy vs Jason which followed.

#NowWatching The Exorcist: Believer (2023)

Don't know a thing about it.

#NowWatching Freddy vs Jason (2003)

It's time.

I feel like I've probably seen this before but I can't remember a damn thing about it.

Logging it in the spreadsheet today so I never have to repeat this.... Or maybe it's great and I just forgot!

#NowWatching Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)

I've never actually played D&D. It's probably fine.

#NowWatching Super Mario Bros. (1993)

Everyone has been talking about how great this one is.

#NowWatching The Chronicles of Riddick (2004)

I need to blow off some steam, and that's Vin Diesel's forte, am I right? Blowing my steam off?

#NowWatching The Lighthouse (2019)

I'm in a weird mood, so here we are.

#NowWatching Color Out of Space (2019)

I love this one. They did a really nice job with the adaptation. Nic Cage gives a great performance, as does the rest of the cast.

I love the effects in this too. There are many shots with practical elements that just look amazing on camera.

#NowWatching Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)

I've made coffee. Cats are snuggling on the couch with me. It's time for this, which for me is a highly anticipated, Bond movie.

#NowWatching White Noise (2005)

Putting this on for background TV as I move into some lower friction dayjob work this afternoon.

I know I've seen this one before, but haven't logged it for OMDb yet.

I think it was not good.

#NowWatching Critters 4 (1992)

I've got a movie and a cocktail and snacks.

A large Black Russian and a bag of twiglets.

#NowWatching Species 3 (2004)

This one is either direct to video or made for TV (if that's a distinction worth making).

I'm in too deep.

#NowWatching Glass (2019)

I enjoyed Split last night. Time to see how the 3rd movie works.
