Midsommar; holy fuck what did I just watch (in a good way)….super intriguing, disturbing, uncomfortable, and one of the most unique movies I've ever seen. Can feel a bit slow in the beginning and it's not exactly a short movie but stick with it till the end. I highly recommend. You may not know whether you actually liked it or not when it's over but it's an experience.

Just rewatched green book yesterday. Wow. One of my favourites this year.
Joker. Great. Watched it twice.
Looking forward to Terminator: Dark Fate. I am not expecting much. Hoping for a nice cinema evening with lot´s of action and one of my favourite childhood stars. Get to the choppah!!!

Had the joy of watching Starwars, 'A New Hope' with my two kids for the first time.
Fantastic parenting moment….

Liked Joker too. A sort of Taxi Driver for the age of dross

I'm by no means an avid Star Wars fan but I am curious how The Rise of Skywalker film pans out this X-mas. There are already tons of Youtube videos that are pushing forth theories about Palpatine's return and who Rey's parents are.
It got me thinking, Anakin Skywalker had no father and he was allegedly conceived from midichlorians. Although not a new idea, my theory is that Palpatine is the one responsible for Anakin's birth and somehow Rey is a descendant of Palpatine. Maybe she's Luke's daughter or Kylo Ren's sister and if so, it would kinda make sense since she's imbued with force abilities. Palpatine > Anakin Skywalker > Luke & Leia > Rey & Ben Solo.
The real question is, how the feck is Palpatine still alive? Is he a clone? Or did he not die at the end of ROTJ?

Watching GROUNDHOG DAY made me think about other great flicks starring Murray… So...
RUSHMORE
THE LIFE AQUATIC WITH STEVE ZISSOU
THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS
THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTELThere's a lot to hate when it comes to Anderson, but I enjoy his geeky films... Next is LOST IN TRANSLATION. A classic, pretty much.

That is actually not a bad idea… But then I might go on a Woody Harrelson spread and end up watching ZOMBIELAND which has both Murray and Woody...
Which is actually not a bad idea either.
That's actually an excellent idea.

Because it’s a brilliant film. It’s always in my top ten.

I'm a bit of a Star Wars fan but I'm not in tune with all the current canon which includes the animated Rebels TV series, comics, books, etc. I'm pretty certain he straight up died after being tossed into the Death Star's reactor in RotJ and from what I know, there aren't any dark side force ghosts. However, I believe that the sith are still able to live on in random artifacts (e.g. a helmet). He could just be in a force vision like Rey had in TFA.
Side note, I purchased a ticket for opening night so we'll see how they conclude the Skywalker saga. I haven't found the new movies to be too great (especially The Last Jedi) but hopefully it ends well! The story's been centred around the same era for too long and I wanna see something similar to Knights of the Old Republic.

All this talk of Bill Murray made me go and check out Kingpin from the library
