“Favorite first time watch” movies (2024 and earlier) for November.

A couple of solid Noirvember films - DETOUR and KANSAS CITY CONFIDENTIAL.

Karyn Kusama’s debut film GIRLFIGHT.

But Amir Nedari’s THE RUNNER was far and away the best film I saw last month, eclipsing even TRAIN DREAMS (2025).

📽️ This year I’m starting off the Christmas movie season on the right note. First up:

Excellent, Oscar winning short FRANZ KAFKA’S IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE, starring Richard E. Grant. Directed by future Doctor Who Peter Capaldi. A tale of writer’s block around the holiday and inspirational miracles.

“A man - a man sits alone at home. This is the time for what? For isolated relaxation. There he reclines alone. But in a plane, what? PART OF A TEAM!

That’s the Chicago way.”

Some Thanksgiving movie traditions don’t change. For example, I still watch HANNAH AND HER SISTERS every year. The only thing that’s different now about this is that I root for a brain tumor. 📽️

I want John Sayles to be given the combined budgets of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, so that he can adapt his epic novel A MOMENT IN THE SUN into the greatest historical record of the Spanish/American War, and the Wilmington Massacre/Coup of North Carolina.
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

Had that experience (AGAIN) just yesterday with Netflix’s BLACK RABBIT. Started off with a heist gone wrong at a fancy restaurant. The star of the series eventually gets a gun pointed directly at his face. Someone yells “Don’t shoot!”

There are exceptions but anytime I try to watch a streaming show in the last few years and that first moment they cut to a flashback it’s like oh Jesus

The year I somehow got drunk on punch that I thought had sparkling wine as a base spirit, only to discover it was nothing but Martinelli’s Apple Cider, cranberry juice, and orange juice. I must have just been in a very festive mood that year.
yes, hello, I would like to place an order for everyone’s funniest stories of holiday food-related family grudges / drama / chaotic incidents / lore

I feel like we need this

I liked Rogue One, but I did disagree with some of the decisions about how it was presented. I felt that the change of format )doing away with the opening crawl and John Williams title track) showed a lack of faith in the audience’s intelligence to separate this film from the established trilogies.
Really smart people whose taste I respect hate Rogue One and I cannot figure out why!

…he opened his beak and sang a loud, lovely trill, merely to show off. Nothing in the world is quite as adorably lovely as a robin when he shows off - and they are nearly always doing it.
