I’m being honorably discharged from ICE today because I have terminal Havana syndrome. Next time I kidnap a 5 yr old it’ll be from that big Chevy Tahoe in the sky

Criterion giving LENNY a 4K release is cool and everything but it's time to stop goofing around and do a box set of all five Fosse movies.

Interested to see the reactions to ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN in 4K. Personally I really like the transfer, which restores the original Saul Bass Warner logo in black-and-white.

Not really a flex because, well...and it was a festival screening, but... I saw I LOVE YOU, DADDY in IMAX.
Have asked this before and always like the responses. What are your biggest “I saw that in the first run cinema” flexes? Couple of mine:
Transformers: The Movie (1986)
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993)
Office Space (1999)

Yesterday a friend of mine told me there's a woman at his dog park who now uses an AI therapist 24/7 and is paralyzed by indecision if she can't consult with it first. So basically a Magic 8 Ball that knows her name.

...THREE-DAY PASS is great, too. Stumbled on it last year on Criterion 24/7.
if you’re in Toronto, i highly recommend going to see Martin Ritt’s great 1861 jazz drama Paris Blues
extra-recommended if you’re a Chazelle fan
a movie that stars Paul Newman, Sidney Poitier, Diahann Carroll, and Joanne Woodward, AND features Louis Armstrong!

Was thinking about this movie last night and how weird it is that Eric Stoltz's character is only five years old.
On this day in Horror/Sci-fi History, THE FLY II was released in 1989.
