I took your humor, I was just curious. Yes, I watch quite a few older movies but I don't log them here like I should. I tend to log more on letterboxd and reserve my conversations here for Oscar prognostication, newer releases, and political doom-spiraling. I did do a big dump of those viewings on Latest Reviews a few weeks ago. I'll probably do that again once I get farther down the WGA list.flipp525 wrote
I mean, no one has a gun to your head about it, Sabin (and I’m mostly just joking here). But California Suite does feature a very funny, Oscar-winning performance by Maggie Smith in which her character actually loses an Oscar.
I don’t know if it’s you MO per se, but I have noticed you talking about second and third viewings of the new fall offerings every year so there are several films every year you watch more than once (or, at least, report here that you do).
The movies that I grew up watching and loving don't really feel like they get made anymore like they used to. So, I get my kicks from older movies. Although to be fair, I am revisiting some older films as a form of comfort food from the real world as well as personal issues. I haven't put a strong focus on filling in blindspots in some time. I do take your point.
Unnecessary side note: I haven't personally owned a television of my own in over five years. It's certainly put a damper on my viewing habits. But today I went shopping for one which (when I settle on the model) will be the first entertainment unit purchased with money from being a full-time creative.
