| 2.9 00:46 |  |  | Last time I was at the former Showplace ICON was December 2023 to see Ferrari by myself. Last time I went to an actual CINEMA was to the Lagoon to see Phoenician Scheme in June 2025 which ended up being my only "see a movie in a theatre" that year. I'm doing even worse THIS year as I'm now told it's September for my first one of 2026. ANYWAY. Everybody loved this film and with good reason, I ALSO can't believe it even got made (and yes by Warner Brothers Discovery of all corporations) and how about that up and comer John Cena? I still wish it had ended with all the protagonists chowing down at Raising Caine's or something but that's not much of a complaint. Sure looks like it'll be gone by Friday so I'm glad I got a chance to pay six bucks (HEY still only $6.51 after tax on a Tuesday with their bogus membership thing!) to catch it on the one Tuesday I could have. Although... Marcus replaced the Coke Freestyle machines with an array of non-freestyle Pepsi products but I still got probably 64 ounces of Diet Dr Pepper out of my $14 "Tuesday combo" (giant popcorn and decently large pop, although their straws were surely compostable due to their absolute worthlessness) Hey, go read all my friends' reviews to learn about the actual movie, I'm no good at that (★★★★½) |

| 9.8 00:11 | |  | Screened at the Fitzgerald after a Circle Jerks performance (in 2026) and a Q&A with Alex, Keith and Zander. I think they started with a 4K copy and then when the projector kept choking on it they had to lower the bitrate. Now it's definitely been double-digit years since I've seen this one but......there are still a few things about it that confuse me. That's strangely comforting in my old age, I suppose. |
|
| 2.8 14:55 | |  | Xfinity On Demand viewing was necessary after seeing the first one. I think I can now tell you I like the first one a little more than the second one. Of course they're both fantastic. |
|
| 7.7 06:36 | |  | Made the mistake of watching five minutes on cable and then found out it was available on demand so.....eh, who needs sleep |
|
| 31.10 03:10 | |  | Channel surfed to Showtime, which I forgot is still something that's part of my cable bill somehow |
|
| 19.10 05:02 | |  | Watched Clue |
|
| 19.10 05:02 | |  | Ian told Kelsey and I to watch this, so we watched it. It was.....definitely something. I'm certain Ian liked it WAY more than we did. |
|
| 30.9 03:44 | |  | Plane film! I felt like Jamie Foxx may have glossed over some important stuff! |
|
| 7.9.25 01:54 | |  | Rewatched via IFC On Demand (which, in theory, takes about an hour less than watching it on IFC proper) |
|
| 7.9.25 01:45 | |  | Cabin DVD! |
|
| 7.9.25 01:44 | |  | Cabin DVD! |
|
| 11.6.25 02:00 | |  | Well, I'm still not really a Wes Anderson guy and this was definitely a Wes Anderson film, but I wasn't bored and it was neat to look at and I enjoyed talking about it with the people I went to the theatre with and I got a large corn and a large Coke Zero. What more can one ask for? Golly, this is the first movie I've seen in 2025! (★★★★) |
|
| 23.12.24 04:12 | |  | I liked the first one better, but I'm still glad I watched this one without spoilers — and also glad I still haven't watched any Hallmark ones. Ooh it's time to watch the KFC movie again! |
|
| 17.5.24 08:40 | |  | Kris put it on. Still no skateboarding. Didn't any of these kids skateboard? I must be remembering my youth wrong. |
|
| 17.5.24 08:40 | |  | Started on the plane, ended at home |
|
| 14.5.24 09:18 | |  | Pretty good! Needed any skateboarding at all |
|
| 8.5.24 07:05 | |  | I was drunk and did not pay attention as I'm not into roasts and Tom actually did put me to sleep.... but I watched ENOUGH of it and figured it was probably a "movie" on L for some reason so here's my log. I do recall laughing a few times. I had no idea who most of the comedians were because I'm a senior citizen. I like Drew Bledsoe. Shout out to Pat Barker! |
|
| 3.5.24 15:52 | |  | This was terrible! Kris liked it way more. He likes a lot of nonsense! (★) |
|
| 27.4.24 14:18 | |  | Kris put it on. Damn, it's 25? |
|
| 23.4.24 18:10 | |  | Kris made me watch it - still not sure why. This wasn't very good! |
|
| 23.4.24 18:09 | |  | Plane film! |
|
| 23.4.24 18:08 | |  | Watched it again on the plane! (★★★★) |
|
| 15.3.24 04:36 | |  | Hallie couldn't BELIEVE I, an alleged proper Minnesotan, had never seen this film. She said a lot of other stuff about it, too. So I done watched it.
Ya know, friends, I feel like our next conversation is going to be very awkward! (★½) |
|
| 22.2.24 02:45 | |  | So when I was told this was the Trash Film Debauchery selection of the month at Trylon, I cracked that I probably already owned this - then was shocked to find that indeed, I DID own it. (It's part of a 10 film collection called WOMEN WHO KICK BUTT that I surely paid ten bucks for at Best Buy a lifetime ago and probably never watched up to ten of the films) Anyway, oh God it's so awful on so many levels. This would have been great to see in a full Trylon and not alone at home on the ol' DVD player. I definitely have friends who will want to watch this and it will be my mission to try to dissaude them and probably fail. Once you learn about this film, you can't escape its pull. (½) |
|
| 22.2.24 01:26 | |  | Somehow I've gone this far without ever having seen this OR being spoilered about it. I wasn't ready! (seen at Parkway) (★★★★) |
|
| 27.12.23 01:49 | | | Having no idea what it was about going in other than I was probably gonna enjoy it because Michael Mann, my expectations were met and surpassed. What can I tell ya, I love me some Michael Mann. I laughed a couple times and my jaw dropped a couple times. Turns out I like Adam Driver and Penélope Cruz, whoda thunk? I would have had no problem if it had been longer. EASILY worth the $5.50 Tuesday rate although I think my Showplace ICON put it in its smallest, quietest theatre and I do wonder how it might have been on a huge screen with some bigger sound, but I can't fault them as I believe they filled nine seats for this 9:15 showing. I'M still happy, though, and isn't that all that REALLY matters? (★★★★) |
|
| 25.12.23 04:32 | |  | Plane movie! Wow, was she great. |
|
| 24.11.23 05:33 | |  | I LOVE me some "Internet" movies created just before most of the peeps had any clue what the Internet was about |
|
| 23.11.23 05:08 | |  | Still good |
|
| 11.11.23 00:33 | |  | Somehow I went almost 40 years without having seen this movie start to finish. Talking Heads are a rare artist I have always been pretty unenthused about so I knew hardly any of the songs. Good enough excuse to consume a large Riverview popcorn and Cherry Coke and later, Ad briefly fell asleep against my shoulder. |
|
| 22.10.23 03:36 | |  | Definitely not "The Venture Bros." So much cussin'! |
|
| 17.10.23 02:23 | |  | Caught at the Fitz with "live score" by Claudio Simonetti's Goblin. Good music! But dog, this film made ABSOLUTELY ZERO SENSE. Just totally bananas. I have so many questions. (★★) |
|
| 22.9.23 12:18 | 
| @kransekage.bsky.social Oh dear
 |
| 10.9.23 03:13 | |  | Adult Swim's playing it again so I guess I'm watching it again. It's still good! |
|
| 3.9.23 23:15 | | | Adult Swim is airing it (AGAIN, as they premiered it two days ago - I watched it then, too, but forgot to log it). I prefer it without commercials! But it's been perfect hotel room fare for me both times it's been on. I'm still sad this'll be it. (Somehow I've had the Metalocalypse movie on my hard drive for almost a week and haven't watched it. I'll try to get it seen before IT makes its TV debut with commercials.) |
|
| 23.8.23 01:11 | |  | Pretty matter-of-fact and almost exclusively focusing on 1982-1986, which - I mean, that's the Wham! time, that's fine - but like so many music documentaries I end up watching, even with an amazing amount of sound from the two principals this one just seemed to barely scratch the surface. I know Netflix only gave them 90 minutes, and I didn't give Netflix a dime so I can't be mad at anybody. I AM glad I had already read Andrew Ridgeley's book and could fill in some gaps on my own. I wonder if Shirlie has a book. |
|
| 1.8.23 00:57 | |  | It was fine. (★★★) |
|
| 26.7.23 00:23 | |  | Wow. Holy shit. Wow. (★★★★) |
|
| 25.7.23 03:15 | | | Watched The Venture Bros.: Radiant is the Blood of the Baboon Heart |
|
| 12.7.23 23:26 | |  | Watched Drop Dead Gorgeous |
|
| 7.5.23 22:34 | |  | Started it at Kat's last week, finished it tonight. Didn't make me suddenly want Netflix |
|
| 3.5.23 12:32 | |  | Wow, Delta's in-flight entertainment system sucks ass - out at least the ghost constantly operating my console |
|
| 3.5.23 12:30 | |  | Plane film! I did fall asleep this time |
|
| 28.4.23 12:02 | |  | Kris' pick - some of it holds up (I am being kind) |
|
| 14.4.23 04:38 | |  | Kris demanded I finally sit through it, so I done did. What can I tell ya? I wasn't seduced by "improv Will Ferrell" then and I'm still not now. |
|
| 13.4.23 00:18 | |  | Plane film! It did not put me to sleep! |
|
| 12.4.23 20:18 | |  | Plane film! Just as tragic as I'd figured it'd be. (★★½) |
|
| 3.3.23 04:57 | |  | Acquired this for a friend and figured I needed to watch it too. It was good! It did NOT make me feel like I needed to watch "The Witches of Breastwick" again. |
|
| 2.3.23 17:00 | |  | A friend put it on as background - it was better than I thought it would be! I don't know why I'm surprised as I generally enjoy Julian Barratt stuff. I would enjoy watching it again when I'm actually paying attention and not simultaneously super buzzed off Hamm's |
|
| 29.12.22 23:40 | |  | Maybe not the best film to watch alone but definitely not a bad film to watch with a packed Parkway Theatre crowd primed by a Simon Husbands performance prior to the showing |
