speaking of Corman, The Criteron Channel has a collection of Corman directed films adapted from Poe this month.

It's also inspired me to finally watch HEAT, which I've somehow never seen despite being a Scorsese fan. Been on my list for a while but I always forget, the past couple pages here reminded me.

It's not a Scorsese move, it's Michael Mann. People have been talking about both though.

Lol, I was going to say I never knew that was Scorsese to begin with. Yeah I guess I haven't been reading the last couple pages closely enough..

I watched The Last Temptation of Christ a few weeks ago, that's a wild ride. Dafoe as Jesus? Ya, he plays it a bit crazy, which makes it all the more weird. It's also amusing with the 80's synth soundtrack. It's on Amazon Prime.

Harvey Keitel as Judas with a Brooklyn accent just adds to the fun.

Ya, I really don't know why I haven't watched this one before. I love the forced biblical lines word for word, where everything kinda hangs for a moment, so you can go

Spoiler!

Today would have been Wes Craven birthday. The man is up there with only John Carpenter in terms of all time greatest horror movie directors. He has so many amazing films, including starting two of the best horror movie franchises in Scream and Nightmare on Elm Street.

The soundtrack for Last Temptation is Peter Gabriel and it rules.

It's incredible, it just feels out of place for the story of Jesus, but right in place for an 80's movie. It's like a warm blanket to remind you the movie is going to be a little weird, and it's OK.

The Meg 2 is sure to be an unmissable cinematic offering!

They're awful. They're typical old theatre seats with a little bit of an allowable recline to them, which isn't helpful whatsoever because other than the first couple rows of seats you're not looking up at the screen, you're looking forward. The recline mechanisms are worn out too, meaning you spend the whole movie slumped down in your seat trying to stop it from rocking backward.

It's essential that after watching Cape Fear, you watch the Simpsons parody episode. Probably top 10 episode all time.

I love Oppenheimer, I’m not sure it’s worth the IMAX but maybe I’m wrong.

The sound was good, but you can get that at AVX. And once I sat down, the IMAX didn’t seem all that bigger to me, I dunno. Up to others but it didn’t really seem necessary to me.

Exactly the same as the last time you were there…only worse. They probably haven’t been cleaned or reupholstered since your last visit either.

I've been burned by enough terrible to mediocre Ninja Turtles movies that I had kind of written off the new one. Plus the animation style just doesn't do it for me.

But now that it's here, and I've read some reviews, I kinda want to see it.

The 1962 original with Gregory Peck is worth checking out as well.

I saw Oppenheimer on film in 70mm imax at West Ed and I think I saw god.
