It toooooootally makes sense that Jason Ritter (son of John Ritter) is in Freddy vs. Jason. Dipper Pines would have kicked both of their asses.

Well, Dipper and Wendy. Mostly Wendy. But Dipper would have helped. #watchingtonight #horror #GravityFalls #movies

The great thing about slashers is you can watch them in any order and still be able to figure out what’s going on. Dream Child…kinda rocks!!! #movies #filmsky #horror #watchingtonight

This show still holds up. Any debate over the best Batman/Joker should at least include Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill. It borrowed the look of the #TimBurton #movies and I think the Nolan films took a few things from it. This is what happens when adult creators don’t pander to kids #watchingtonight

I added this one, District 9, to my DVD collection the other day. It’s been a long time since I saw it. Somehow it feels more relevant today with its themes of prejudice and bigotry. That it’s shot documentary style just adds to the sense of realism. #movies #filmsky #watchingtonight

Dave (1993.) I love Kevin Kline in pretty much everything. In Bobs Burgers he was the only thing that made me consistently laugh. Pirates of Penzance, Midsummer Nights Dream, Cry Freedom, In & Out…he just nails it. #movies #watchingtonight #filmsky

Well…we’re not quite dead. 🎶I FEEL HAPPY!!!! I FEEL HAPPY!!!!🎶 So I think I’ll settle in with a good #movie. The Magnificent Seven. Steve McQueen, the king of cool, the “strong, silent type”…and yet still has to compete with the brilliant Eli Wallach. #filmsky #watchingtonight

Let us all talk of our favorite version of True Grit and why it’s the Coen Brothers version. Not only was John Wayne a racist piece of shit (seen these days as a minor character flaw) but he had the acting range of a fucking fence post. Jeff Bridges is an actor. #movies #filmsky #watchingtonight

Sleepers (1996.) One of those smaller gems from the 90s. Yes I recommend it but with a heads up: it deals with sexual assault. Kevin Bacon is at his creepiest and you also have a pre-Burn Notice Jeffery Donovan. Naturally Bobby gives a great performance. #movies #filmsky #watchingtonight

I think if you were going to have an award category for the most fun performance in a #movie, Peter O’Toole as the swashbuckling Alan Swann in My Favorite Year would have to be a major contender. “I’M NOT AN ACTOR!!! I’M A MOVIE STAR!!!!” #watchingtonight #filmsky

I forgot how hilarious this #movie was. Jack Benny was great at the dry delivery. “So they really call me Concentration Camp Erhardt, eh? We do the concentrating and the Poles do the camping!” #filmsky #watchingtonight

#Watchingtonight To Be or Not To Be. Jack Benny and Carole Lombard in director Ernst Lubitchs comedy lampooning fascism. Just a reminder: even the most terrifying figures look silly slipping on a banana peel…and art makes one helluva banana peel. #movies #filmsky

The problem with having so many DVDs is I forget which movies I have.

Tonight on I Forgot I Had This on DVD, Slumdog Millionaire. Great bit of cinny 😁 One of those few times the Oscars pleasantly surprised me. Well written and exceptionally well filmed #movies #filmsky #watchingtonight

Giving Jurassic World another shot. I only sat through it once.

I like Bryce Dallas Howard but..yup. Humans are still goddamn boring. “Our focus groups said dinosaurs aren’t cool so we made our own.”
Your focus groups are fucking idiots. Dinosaurs are awesome! #filmsky #movies #watchingtonight

Tom Hardy as Bane sounds like a bad Sean Connery impression. Sometimes he just sounds like Connery on helium 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 And Christian Bale just sounds like Cookie Monster. I like ya, Nolan but you’re taking a guy in bat S&M gear WAAAAY too seriously! #watchingtonight #Batman

Sleepless in Seattle. Once again, RIP #RobReiner. Sometimes you just gotta watch a 90s #romcom and Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan were the favorite couple of the decade before Friends came along. And this one is also a nice nod to classic Hollywood (An Affair to Remember.) #movies #filmsky #watchingtonight

#Watchingtonight: the Man in High Castle. It was Rufus Sewell that got me hooked. The man is the Claude Rains of today: a master of less is more acting. I’ve seen him play good and evil and he always excels at both. #Netflix #scifi

#Watchingtonight in continuation with my theme of #movies with great conversations: the Third Man. Orson Welles is terrifying as the diluted penicillin dealer Harry Lime. If you want great dialogue, go #filmnoir.

“Would you really feel any pity if one of those dots stopped moving forever?” #filmsky

This is showing promise, the Man in High Castle, even if it is no longer by a dystopian alternative future that Nazis have taken over. Will Rufus Sewell ever not be great in anything? Dark City, the Illusionist, Hamlet 1996…he just nails every role. #Netflixandchill #watchingtonight

Spent the day at mom and dads while the cleaner was at my place. Now it’s time to settle in while dinner is cooking and put a classic in the DVD player.

You might think you’re cool but you’re not Peter O’Toole in Lawrence of Arabia cool. #movies #filmsky #watchingtonight

So I got the #RayHarryhausen classic the Beast From 20,000 Fathoms as a double feature with Them! Naturally when I watch one I have to watch the other.

I really don’t feel like I have a choice here. It’s like a legal thing. Not just at the state level. #movies #watchingtonight #filmsky #scifi

Them!

Because sometimes you just wanna see some big ass ants wreck some shit. But unlike most 1950s big-ass bug movies, this one excels at building suspense. It helps that we have Edmund Gwenn (Santa Claus from Miracle on 34th Street) as the scientist. #movies #watchingtonight #scifi

Of all the cameos in Across the Universe, Bono is actually my favorite. First off, I like U2s music. Joshua Tree=great album I think. Second off, his take of I Am the Walrus is pretty bangin’. His vocals mixed with Julie Taymors psychedelic visuals are a good mix. #musicsky #movies #watchingtonight

Tonights #movie theme: Try to Stop Zach From Singing Along. I remember seeing this in the theaters and I think it still holds up today. I only knew Kidman from that shitty Batman movie. Nice to see her stretch. Same with Obi Wan (MacGregor.) Creative use of the songs as well. #watchingtonight

It Came From Beneath the Sea. Director #TimBurton listed Ray Harryhausen as one of his biggest influences. I can really see it in this one and Earth vs. the Flying Saucers. I love Harryhausens work especially considering that he did it all himself. True classic cinema. #movies #watchingtonight
