I'm trying really hard to actually finish a movie, but the direction is so bad, so amateurish, that I want to hurl something at the TV.

And there's an HOUR to go.

However, it's still early, so I'll try.

I now want to watch Some Like It Hot and The Apartment too.

But what a slog.

This movie barely got released and yet they're trying like crazy to get the lead actor up for an Oscar. They just don't have that kind of money.

I could only find two or three reviews, and there are zero on Rotten Tomatoes.

The story isn't uninteresting - based on an Arthur Miller short story.

The actors are okay.

It's the director. And yet, the two or three reviews praise her to the skies - how stylish her direction is - no, it's not stylish at all - it's just like every other movie where there do the shaky cam crap and over-edit ever single scene. But I'll save my biggest rant for the notes.

You bet I will.

There'll be no stopping me.

I've had quite enough tuna pasta salad.

bk · « **Reply #284 on:** December 26, 2024, 07:31:16 PM »

QUITE enough.

One chocolate donut and one cookie.

That will be it for food.

bk · « **Reply #287 on:** December 26, 2024, 07:35:30 PM »

For food, that will be it. Why that wants to be it is anyone's guess.

Are you saving revealing the title of the movie for the Notes?

Story that I don’t know if it’s true, but I find intriguing: Double Indemnity was up against Going My Way for the Oscars. When Leo McCarey won, he was walking to the stage and Billy Wilder tripped him.

Back from the triple birthday party.

Where there was no jello mold, green or otherwise.

Well, I will watch the movie tomorrow.
