It's not an inspirational teacher movie.  :yucky:

You didn't like Stand and Deliver?  :huh:

He might enjoy In the Heat of the Night more.

You mean the Academy Award Best Picture?  You are correct, sir.

TSWL is set in the UK, so might be more relatable, but ITHotN has Rod Fucking Steiger's Academy-Award-winning performance.  No contest.

We are going to watch In the Heat of the Night tonight, in honour of his passing.

I've seen it many years ago, and thought it was great, but it has been so long I've forgotten the plot.

I've never seen the one he won the first Academy Award for best actor won by a Black American actor - Lilies of the Field. Thought about that one, but my wife really likes crime dramas, so in the heat of the night seemed the better choice.

Lilies of the Field is a very different movie from anything else he did.  the best word for it is probably "charming."  If you don't watch it tonight, put it on your list.

For those who have Mubi, they currently have a John Carpenter triple feature: They Live, Prince of Darkness, and Assault on Precinct 13. :)

Perhaps one reason why Madonna divorced Guy Ritchie was his approach to sex is the same as his to film-making, same style/template ALWAYS.

How do you know what Ritchie's approach to sex is? :unsure:

Robin Hood (1991). Tony Iommi stands up for a poacher and becomes an outlaw. A decent telling of the story, certainly better than the Kevin Costner version. And it has Uma Thurman [spoiler]in boy's clothing[/spoiler]. :mmm:

Watched The Alpinist last night. It was very good. Those people are fucking insane. I had anxiety just watching them.

Lost Daughter

I do not understand the critical acclaim, though it did interest me in the book.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

I'm really enjoying GLOW so far.  Much, much better than I expected.

The first season was great, the second felt very aimless. I thought it did a great job of recreating the 80s, though.
