Resuming my Bond marathon again and moved onto 1973's Live and Let Die - the first one with Roger Moore, in New Orleans....

 

couldn't make it past half way.  it was that bad.  i dont know how this franchise continued after that

This started the unnecessary comedic relief. And, aside from scenes with Q, they got away from any real spycraft that the earlier movies had.

I am not sure how this film could have been improved. It is, considering the time when it was made, about perfect. Just an awesome film.

Ah..Live and Let Die and introduction of sheriff JW Pepper.    He was so good he got to come back in The Man with the Golden Gun.  Seriously, though I'd play strip poker with Solitaire anytime.

Never was an actress's last name more appropriate.  And best theme music since Goldfinger.

Ahh... And a solid thank you sir...

I guess since I am typing, I might as well mention I'm looking forward to the upcoming Kang The Conqueror (being that I just rewatched Ant-Man...
Also, did anyone ever think of the fact that the misses could live in the tiny city & be married to VonDoom after all that time away from her real life..?

Roger Moore was my Bond. I always thought of them as silly movies. Later on as I saw other bond films I realized that some took the character seriously.

The 911’s chase scene in For Your Eyes Only was the greatest thing I had ever seen at that point.

African Treasure (1954). Bomba the Jungle Boy has to save a Mexican Hottie’s dad from unscrupulous diamond thieves. According to IMDB there were a dozen Bomba movies starting the kid who played Boy in the old Tarzan movies. It’s exactly like Tarzan even down to the chimp sidekick. Reminded me of the old movies that used to play on one of the San Antonio stations on Saturday afternoons.

Broken Blossoms (1919)

D.W. Griffith flick.  Had some cool names for bands (The Jackies/Yellow Man) and the lead villain was the great Donald Crisp, the world's best Dad (National Velvet/How Green Was My Valley).  Guy had a very long and interesting life.  

But no. Film school stuff..

Tiago's brain dump: Broken Blossoms (1919)

His last movie was Spencer's Mountain in the early 60's.

You want me to strike it?


People don’t like to have fire poked, poked in their noses.

My ranking:
1. Best In Show


2. Waiting for Guffman
3. A Mighty Wind (But I freaking love the soundtrack, Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara are always magic together).


4. For Your Consideration

Haven’t seen Spinal Tap in so long, not sure where to put that one.

The Bookshop - A widower moves to a small town in England and wants to open a bookshop.  Local rich lady wants the building for the bookshop to be an arts center.  This movie scratches the surface on a lot of themes, but doesn't do a deep dive on any of them.  It's pleasant enough, but doesn't really hit the homerun that it seems like it should (or could) be delivering.

Their Finest (2016) Gemma Arterton, Sam Claflin, Bill Nighly. Set in the early days of the London Blitz the Propaganda Ministry needs a film to lift British spirits. Arterton is hired to write "the slop" (female dialogue). Well made period flick.

Cave of the Yellow Dog (2005).  Need to lower your BP by 20 or 30 top and bottom?  Sit back and drink in this beautiful, simple tale, showing how for a family of young Mongolian nomads, life has changed very little in hundreds of years.  

And btw, the Chinese restaurant scene in Waiting for Guffman is one of the most spit-out-whatever-is-in-your-mouth funny scenes ever.  Thank you, Christopher Guest and ensemble, for the whole yuckumentsry series.  You hear that? "That whole thing."

If you're familiar with the work of Miranda July this mines the same vein but there is no pooping back and forth.  Great performances from Wood, Jenkins, and Rodriguez.  Worth seeing. 

I liked her first "big movie". Haven't really followed up.

Gone Girl.  As great as I remember.  A great movie gets EVERYTHING right.  Cast, characters, dialogue, score.  Everything.  Do all that right and the plot can be whatever you want.  In this case the plot is a total mindfuck.  So it has that too.

ETA

From top to bottom the casting was perfect.  Creapy Doogie Howser, Ben Afleck acting like...well Ben Afleck is in real life.  And Tyler Perry.  Who knew he had it in him?

I wanted to like this movie but it just was flat.  It should've been better

Quantum of Solace, and I just don't get the hate for this thing.  They say the plot is fantastical, but study the history of central South America, and you'll see things crazier than a plan to control water, or a luxury hotel in the desert. The villain is no less sinister than many of his predecessors.

I think it's just because it came between Casino Royale and Skyfall. It's still better than most Bond movies.

Judy is on Hulu. I watched it last night to support a Texas Ex, Renee Zellweger. It was fine, but I’m not sure why she won the Oscar. Pretty ho hum performance. I say this because Renee can’t sing like Judy Garland. Very few can. I’m sure it was an ego thing, but they should have dubbed the singing performances.  The best scene was when Judy goes home with some longtime fans for a late dinner. Is was touching that she meant that much to people. 
 

I’m also not sure what the movie is trying to say? Judy Garland was broke at the end of her life and it kind of sucked she couldn’t stay with her kids? They barely scratched the surface on her addiction issues.

Got on another horror comedy kick. Obvious recommendations there are Tucker and Dale vs Evil and... Ready or Not I think you could say falls in that category. I watched Snatchers on Hulu, which is probably a B but made me laugh a lot. Maybe a bit of a "Booksmart" dynamic going on, except it's a girl who has a strange pregnancy.

Then, came across this movie that I'd never heard of called "The Voices" with Ryan Reynolds and Anna Kendrick which went straight to VOD. It's a.... dark comedy.  You know there's "Dark Comedy" and that could mean Fargo, or even Parasite, and then there are "Dark Comedies" that are really just horror movies with a tinge of comedy, and this one is not... quite either of those things. It's very dark, but has a very light feel. And the really light feel makes how dark it is pretty fucked up, and then on top of that I think it might actually be a pretty good depiction of a schizophrenic killer. The depiction of him and his surroundings on his meds vs off his meds was really interesting. Also I was surprised that it was Ryan Reynolds voicing the animals.

 

I can see how some company ended up with the distribution for this film and then said "ahhhh fuck it" but it's a... good movie.

I really liked The Voices. The theme song will stick with you. Some other “Horror Comedy”:

Mom and Dad - Crazy Nic Cage
Mayhem - Decent, helps if you are a fan of Samara Weaving but who isnt’t?
Little Monsters
Happy Death Day, and the Sequel
Tusk - Hate it, love it. I love it.
What we do in the shadows - Genius
The Final Girls - Cool idea, worth a watch
Behind the Mask: Leslie Vernon - To me, this is a must see.
Housebound - Cool movie from New Zealand.
Krampus - Love this damn movie for the Holidays
Trick r Treat - If you haven’t seen this, do it
The Babysitter - More Weaving
Killer Klowns - Classic
100 Bloody Acres - Worth watching if you can find it
The Loved Ones - Is this Horror/Comedy? Maybe. Whatever it is, see it! It’s awesome.
