The last movie I watched in 2023 was MIDNIGHT RUN, which came out when I was 16 but which I had never seen until now. A couple of lines made me laugh, but honestly I am very much not a Charles Grodin fan, so it mostly seemed like a waste of Yaphet Kotto.

I've gotten into this strange habit of seeing Kelly Reichardt films on planes, which is maybe not ideal, but "Showing Up" was still pretty good. Also saw "The Creator," which I mentioned on the/a Radiohead thread. It reminded me of tons of other stuff, from "Blade Runner" to "AI" to a few action films, but its visuals, set pieces and mood made an impression on me, even if the movie ultimately fell a little short (and felt a little long). I thought "Monsters" was pretty thoughtful/striking, so it was good to see Gareth Edwards cash in some of his Hollywood franchise chits to make another more personal sci-fi movie.

Fast X — reprehensibly stupid. 0/10Inferno (Dario Argento, 1981) — felt like it was happening in slow motion; gave up halfway through. 3/10King of New York — a fucking classic. Can't even count how many times I've seen it. 10/10

Inferno is one of the many kinds of slow I love. I could live in that movie, minus getting murdered

Inferno has the greatest bad score of all time - supplied to us, the viewers, by none other than Keith Emerson himself

Ladies Man, dir: Jerry Lewis, 1961 - Baffling
saw this at an unannounced screening a year or two ago and it makes total sense as a formal experiment on the big screen. although I'd already seen Pig In The City and Witches Of Eastwick (on purpose) the same day so my practical spectacletations may have been overly calibrated, and my logic receptors beaten to a nub. (My only Lewis to date.)
