The Tenant
It's probably been about 40 year since I saw this movie and remembered very little of it. Thank you TCM for finally showing it. Strange, but very good film.
Speaking of TCM, for this thread to have so little activity this year The Old Man must have stopped posting around here?
Thor Love and Thunder. Very slim Pickens flights to Bangkok. Never watch Marvel or superhero movies but I admit it was pretty funny and the GNR laden soundtrack was fun

Thumbs up!
Yes, agree, but it was so depressing it made me want to go to the baby goat petting zoo and go watch old videos of "Up with People!"
Have you seen the equally joyless San Diego Personal Trainer, but superior (IMO), Amorres Perros?
On another note, I just saw the new buddy flick Step Brothers. I went in expecting a piece of junk. A bit long, horrible acting, but some real laughs. I'd recommend if you like the genre.

Good night oppy on Amazon is a really well written documentary about nasa's twin rovers spirit and oppurtunity.
Money Heist on Netflix. recently I have some problems with streaming movies on Netflix. They work only on my phone, but I can't watch thme from my laptop. I've already contacted their customer service and hope they'll answer soon.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent Ironically, this self parody is probably the best film Nick Cage has done in years.

How was it?

A, I hope you and S are well and healthy.
The film isn’t everyone’s cup of tea yet I thoroughly enjoyed and recommend. If you and S decide to watch, don’t read any reviews or talk to those that have seen. I think the film works better knowing as little as possible.
I definitely want to see Menu.
Last night we watched Sundown. Meh. I expected better from a film with Tim Roth and Charlotte Gainsbourg, although the latter's part was a bit one.

Got it. We are good. Stef is on her way to France and I am home alone for the week

Agreed.
Glass Onion
Lot’s of fun. A totally worthy sequel. I’m really glad Craig and Johnson (the writer/director) are working on a third one.

Same. Funnier than I expected. We enjoyed it

looks interesting
The Menu
Very well acted and executed. The film seemed to fly by and I fully enjoyed it. I’ll have to watch it again (and I think I will enjoy a second watching) to see if this opinion holds, but on first viewing, I did not think the final 10 or so minutes of the film were “earned” by the prior hour and a half.

I agree with you.
Glass Onion - Fun movie.
The Menu - just suspend your expectations that people wouldn't really act this way, and go with the flow

Just for you. It certainly is an interesting throwback to Polanski's work in the 60s and he does get to get his fetishes out. Perhaps it's closest to the great Repulsion. There's the question how much Polanski can carry a movie as an actor, as good as he does in his short role in Chinatown.
If you've never seen his first feature Knife in the Water, I urge you to seek it out. I hadn't seen it in decades and forgot how masterful Polanski is in his direction.
For his later movies I really enjoyed 2013's kinkfest Venus in Furs. I was surprised how much. I was always disappointed by his constant use of his young wife Emmanuelle Seigner in the late 20th and 21st century. However she really tears the screen up in this movie.
