Last night I watched Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. A brilliant film with two classic stars, Brad Pitt and Leonardo Decapiro. Humour throughout and Tarratino's violence done tongue in cheek. 8/10.
Just went to see The Goldfinch. Having read the book, I rather liked it. Having not read the book, my wife hated it. In fact, she walked out halfway through.
I guess it's not a good movie (most critics hated it too), and if you haven't read the book it's apparently hard to follow, and even harder to figure out why you should care about these characters. But it's an excellent visualization of the book. For example, the Las Vegas house and Hobie's store/workshop looked exactly as I'd imagined them when reading the book. This rarely if ever happens. So go see it not as an adaptation, but as a set of illustrations for the book, and you may enjoy it.Interesting. The book is one of my all time favourites.
Deadpool 2. Just as good as it was the first time.

Again, they seem pretty close to how I'd imagined them, especially Hobie.I'm intrigued. But mainly I would want to see how they do Hobie and Boris as they are such great characters in the book...
A few years ago, TCM ran a block of those old Dick Tracy films, I found all of them very entertaining. I have seen this one several times; Karloff makes a great villain. He was the villain in the Water Mitty film also. TCM also ran the Dick Tracy serial(s) a few years ago. One of those actors of these films was DT in that (or those).Dick Tracy Meets Gruesome (1947)
Ralph Byrd as the title hero, with BORIS KARLOFF as he Bad Guy!
This one lacked all the wonderful gadgets, but did a fine job mixing the seriousness and campiness! It was also a fine example how, lacking Special Effects/CGI, chase scenes, fights and other action scenes can be so much more realistic!
If this one were in color - and I could get you to go see it - I think even the most ardent FX fans would love it.
Even without most of the futuristic gadgets, it still had a touch of the Sci-Fi - a 'time bomb' that suspended time!
Old age...here is a problem in continuity or an error in [?] between You only Live Twice and On her Majesty's Secret Service. In the former, Bond & Blofeld meet face to face; in the latter, Blofeld fails to recognize Bond.
...Blofeld fails to recognize Bond.
Blofeld was expecting Sean Connery.
