It Waits (2005)
Is it weird to say that I missed watching bad movies? Probably, but back when I could safely have people over at my place (what seems like a hundred years ago), bad movies were the staple of Movie Night. We’d sit around and riff on them, finding enjoyment more through our own senses of humor than whatever lame thing was on the screen. But I watched this alone, with only my growing disappointment as company. I swear we watched It Waits a decade ago–literally this time–but all I could remember was hating a parrot? Turns out that’s all that’s memorable…

Godspell (1973)
Did everybody have a good Easter? Or if you don’t celebrate, a decent regular Sunday? I spent the day with family members I haven’t seen in a year because of, you know, everything, and then came home to watch a movie adaptation of a musical about a hippie clown Jesus. I was born after the 70’s, so Godspell never really showed up on my radar. Yeah, the signature song song “Day by Day” did ring some bells, but I’m pretty sure I had previously heard the Shirley Bassey version. So why watch this? Beyond the spectacle, I wanted to see…

Zack Snyder’s Justice League (2021)
As I said on Friday, I wanted to watch the original, theatrical version of Justice League before I dove into Mr. Zack Snyder’s Justice League so I could better compare and contrast. I made some predictions of what I thought would get cut–I was pretty much absolutely right–and what the new film would look like. Now, having watched it I can definitely say that this is the most Zack Snyder movie Zack Snyder has ever made, and that it is better than the theatrical version. The rest? Well…

When They Cry, Season 1 – Episodes 9 – 13
We’re back after a short break with more episodes of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, AKA When They Cry. Last time was the Cotton Drifting arc, focusing on Mion and her surprise twin sister, Shion. Turns out Mion is the heir to the local yakuza and is in one way or another responsible for every death and disappearance associated with Oyashiro-sama’s curse. Oh, and she has a demon inside of her, which might be different from the reason the she and Rena were acting creepy during Spirited Away by the Demon. These next five episodes–the Curse Killing arc–focus on Satoko,…

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier – Season 1, Episode 3
I gotta say, I love it when I’m rewarded for the fact that my brain can’t retain useful information but has an entire section devoted to comic books. Last time I talked about the Power Broker procedure, and what do you know, the latest episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is titled Power Broker! Kismet, or something like that. But who or what is the Power Broker? Good question!
