The 90s were a special time for movies. I watched Patriot Games yesterday; the storytelling and cinematography are actually pretty run-of-the-mill, but Sean Bean—and surprisingly Harrison Ford, too—give great performances. Don't get me wrong, I couldn't live without Han Solo and Indy, but I’d never really thought of him as a great actor before—just a pretty cool guy. I need to watch Frantic and Witness again sometime. Oh, and then there’s Blade Runner, of course.

Oh yeah just a great period for movies. I’ve never seen Frantic! Adding it to the list. Don’t forget The Fugitive and Presumed Innocent…he was great in those as well.

@sabergirl I saw this too! and I'm still not really sure what happened!

Interesting film though, not what I expected; this seemed more like slasher-themed oddity of a film than a classic slasher movie, which honestly I preferred as I'm not much of a horror guy.

Maybe Billy was right, maybe it was all just about flesh and fluids after all...

I’m gonna say it. The new Scary Movie is gold. My partner and I finally watched it the other night and both enjoyed it.

I watched this on my flight across the pond and really had to pull myself together to keep from crying. Heartbreaking, but also very funny. I’ve never heard so much swearing in a Scottish accent—and I understood most of it, or so I think.

I thought at least 75% of Scottish dialect was swearing.

@endo could just be Altitude-Adjusted Lachrymosity Syndrome (AALS). It’s a thing, apparently.

@endo I can confirm we swear a lot, but it's mostly in a joking way and not serious.

I'll need to check out this movie

Not including the C word

I am very excited for the Nathan Fielder Elizabeth Holmes doc.

[jordanscollected]

@Matt me too. Have you listened to “The Dropout” podcast? Really well done.

[Matt]

No, I’ll check it out!

@Matt the trailer alone was f r e a k y.
