Saw Poor Things.

A few people left after the more graphic scenes.  I liked it.  I thought it was humorous.

I really want to see that....but my one movie friend isn't interested. Thought we'd see it at Christmas but she preferred Godzilla

All of Us Strangers

Aka that film about two gays set in London where the one can talk to the ghosts of his dead parents. Starring Andrew Scott, Paul Mescal, Jamie Bell and Claire Foy.

I really liked it but definitely a movie if you are in a mood to feel sad. Deals a lot with childhood nostalgia.

Only pet peeve I had was with the final moments of the film but I don't think that detracts too much from the experience

2nd season of Foundation got better just to be ruined by the season finale.

Maybe those self-proclaimed "defenders of western civilization" should look a bit more into it.

Haven't seen the documentary, but saw a comment of one guy saying (paraphrasing) it makes Alex look like a self absorbed jerk who does whatever he wants. Most responses are, "well, duh?"

Alex was an absolute queen.

Who knew being a world conquering megalomaniac made you a jerk too

Documentary is ok so far. Acting is... documentary level acting. They did Memnon dirty though.

For Me and my Gal (1942)

This is Gene Kelly's film debut and his first pairing with Judy Garland.  The story barely matters, of course, but it's both a salute to vaudeville and (in the final act) a flag waving salute to the armed forces; there's even an ad to buy war bonds and stamps in the final frames. 

Since Kelly was unknown as a film actor at the time (he had been on Broadway) he only gets one chance to dance solo.  This works out a little better than most Garland-Kelly pairings, as Judy was certainly not in his league as a dancer (almost no one was, I think the only woman who was a memorable dance partner for him was Cyd Charisse, and she was taller than he was so they couldn't have been a regular pairing) so usually he has to have several dance scenes without her.  (This isn't to dog Judy, Gene was definitely not the singer she was.)
