Also, I'm looking forward to your review of In The Heights. This thing has a 97 on Rotten Tomatoes. You're the prince that was promised right now. (Armond White is the old king).
It's actually a good lesson for me to not get upset when something I find tedious gets intense critical acclaim. People like it and good on them right.
I watched The Father last week and found it beautiful so that's what I shall think about.
I watched Frisky Dingo when I had Covid. It’s not something I would have watched normally, but you had mentioned liking it so I gave it a go. It was highly enjoyable and helped my quarantine time pass more pleasantly.
I want to tap out of Loki just to make my Facebook archnemesis unhappy so almost purely out of spite, and that weird critic pseudo-bribery is just making me hate...they probably got another showrunner who doesn't know who Mephisto is. I'm enjoying Sweet Tooth just to spite them.
I love "Streets of Fire" (I was 19 when it came out) and had it on VHS, and now blu-ray. Michael Pare was, well, not /bad/, but not good either. True of every movie I saw him in. Willem Dafoe as the Mad Biker was great. Lots of actors in first or early roles there. Pity it opened on the same weekend as Star Trek 3 and got crushed at the box office.
The soundtrack is pretty good, too, and spun off a top ten hit.
Pare was definitely not GOOD. But yeah, it's got Dafoe and Bill Paxton and Diane Lane and Rick Moranis (the same year as Ghostbusters, I think?). This was also a key Rick Rossovitch text!
I think I've seen Streets of Fire! Was that the same guy that starred in that movie about a 60s rock star ala Elvis or Jim Morrison that disappeared? That was in the 80s too...goodness, can't remember the name..."Eddie and the Rockers" or something like that. It was a movie one of my sisters loved, so I was forced to watch :) I was young then, so my memories of that time are off a little it seems.
I also didn't realize Warriors was something anyone else in the world had seen, but me! dink-dink-dink "Warriors...come out to pla-ay."
Many, many years ago, I worked for the local newspaper, and the managing editor decreed that no one-NO ONE—could accept anything of value from a source or client. This edict brought lots of confusion: What did “of value” mean? How much was too much? Did it include trinkets like free pens? What about tickets to events? The whole thing came crashing down when a reporter covering a concert arrived at her seat to discover she had been placed by several high level managers who had accepted the freebies, and the venue had thought they would all want to sit together.

I generally don't review musicals because I simply don't get them. They do nothing for me.

So good! Glad you enjoyed.

Oh man Warriors, pretty sure that was my first R rated movie. Loved Streets of Fire, agree Pare was not great, but he was peak 80s Pare in this.

There are things that make sense to accept! Tickets to a concert; tickets to a preview of a movie. That is part of the job!
