Well, a couple nights ago I saw 2001: A Space Odyssey.
I first saw it when It was first released in a Cinerama theater and was very impressed.
It was visually spectacular.
Even on television, it is still a visual experience.
Not boring exactly, but, you might say... slow moving- like really old honey, plus
it didn't make sense.
When the monolith was "unearthed" on the moon it was a milestone in man's evolution
and pointed to the next step, a lagrange point near Jupiter.
So, it was imperative the humans reach the second monolith.
But, during their voyage in a spacecraft the size of the Chrysler building, HAL 9000,
knowing the purpose of the expedition, starts killing off the 5 spacemen, which
would therefore void the entire purpose of the project. Impressive camera work but....?

On some TV show I watched decades ago someone being interviewed about this movie said that the book 2001: A Space Odyssey made perfect sense and explains everything. I made a pact with myself to never read the book as I like the mystery of the movie. I see something different everytime I watch it.

The fortress did feel alive, that was cool. I always love it when Belle Reve is mentioned because it takes me back to Lionel Luthor in Smallville. This brought some tears to my eyes. haha

I was just flipping through the TV offerings and came in at the middle of the Addams Family (cartoon movie)
and probably would have just dismissed it; but now that we have all been sensitized to the age of Trumpism,
the message seemed all the more relevant. A evil woman, Margaux Needler, is encouraging the townspeople to
riot and storm the Addams' family home, well... because they are different.
In the end, all resolved well, but somehow that ending seemed hollow and cartoonish. I guess cartoons are like that.

Well, the company that provides our TV service recently "upgraded" and we have more variety-
but not always with reliable service. I was watching My Fair Lady and suddenly it
just disappeared- so, then I started watching Broken Blossoms (1919 with Lillian Gish).
Broken Blossoms was grim and bleak and depressing. I watched about 10 minutes and then gave up.
In film history books there are always stills of Gish looking frail and vulnerable. I was thinking
that now I could experience the movie for real. After 10 minutes I discovered I would
prefer to live without that experience.

Well, I was just watching Vampyr (1932) and thought it interesting enough to post a comment,
but while I was trying to find the "last movie you watched section" I missed the ending.
It's probably not all that important that I missed the ending because a plot and a linear storyline
were not the main elements.
To me it seems to be in many ways an experimental, almost surreal film where the camera
plays with angles and movement, shadows, "special effects", odd juxtapositions and atmospheric
acting and lighting. In fact I first thought it was a silent movie, but, no, here and there there was
a word or two and some eerie music and haunting sounds- though it also used title cards like
silents.
I would say that as a vampire movie, it was a bit of a self-indulgent exercise, but for all that
self-indulgent stuff, I am going to recommend it.

Well, a few days ago I saw The Philadelphia Story, and really, with the great actors
and director, I was expecting something better. In the end.
I found this critique somewhere that pretty much sums up my opinion, as well.
....I've seen this several times now, and it impresses me as a movie that's less than the sum of its parts. On paper, the cast is all-time great, but does it really work?
Hepburn's character, Tracy, is made out to be some sort of insufferable, unforgiving, puritanical ice queen. This is how others consistently describe her, but from the very first scene she's nothing like that. She's playful, sarcastic, witty and flirtatious. Hepburn's performance projects nothing that resembles the portrait everybody in the movie paints of her. The main dramatic thrust of her character arc therefore makes no sense.
Perhaps the most ridiculous scene is that in which Tracy's father blames her extreme coldness (and again, the Tracy we see is not cold, but effervescent and sassy) as the cause of his affair (!). His little speech, which must be heard to be believed, can be paraphrased thus: 'Tracy, perhaps if you weren't so cold I wouldn't need a mistress. I've only strayed from your mother because you're so unloving.'
The mere fact that the father says this is astounding enough, but furthermore we're clearly meant to absorb the father's speech as a piece of incisive, profound wisdom. Tracy begins to cry meaningfully as if he's uttered the key to everything. Oh, I forgot to add that he says this just before her wedding. Thanks dad!
The father's speech is not only inappropriate but psychologically implausible--men have affairs for many reasons, but their daughters' coldness is rarely (and perhaps never) one of them. Even if that were the true reason for his infidelity, it's astonishing that the movie seems to deem this explanation sufficient to exonerate him of all culpability for his actions, while Tracy receives no such indulgence for her supposed coldness.
For the sake of argument, let's say that the movie does a good job of portraying Tracy as cold and judgmental (it doesn't), but if that were true, surely her genetics would bear some of the blame--her father is a selfish cad, her uncle is a roué, and her mother is a flighty society matron; her relations are all far less likable than she, yet she's the one constantly under attack as a cruel and unapproachable goddess.
We're to believe that Cary Grant's character was an abusive alcoholic, but Grant's persona doesn't fit that at all. So again, we have a character that the film is trying to portray as one thing, but is clearly something else entirely; and if Grant really is an abusive alcoholic, why is the movie constantly urging us to siphon all sympathy away from Hepburn's character, as if she were the real abuser? One can see a rather misogynistic pattern emerging--women are to forgive men's failings, but are to receive no forgiveness themselves. They exist to please and placate men.
Tracy's brief romance with Jimmy Stewart's character comes on abruptly, without adequate dramatic preparation, and seems to result from their inebriation rather than deep thought or feeling; yet the scene is played as if it were a revelation of true character, not just a drunken illusion. Their characters' backgrounds and temperaments seem far too divergent to make their sudden infatuation at all believable.
I can only conclude that this movie's extraordinary reputation is due to the stars' cumulative achievements. It certainly isn't justified by the meager impact of this muddled and somewhat offensive story. Yes, the stars play many scenes with great elegance and charisma and there is some enjoyment to be had here and there, but the fundamental dramatic incoherence of the plot and character motivations shouldn't be overlooked because of the sheer wattage onscreen. These issues prevent me from feeling much of anything for the characters, and while I always enjoy seeing these performers, the material here hardly makes the most of their talents.
Now, back to me-- I did like the inclusion of this Groucho tune...

Not long ago, I came across an interesting backstory to this film. Hepburn was listed as box office poison by the major theater owners association after a string of box office bombs. She picked and partially financed the theater production of The Philadelphia Story, because she really wanted to play the role and Hollywood was cold on her. It became a huge Broadway hit.
She then acquired the film rights to The Philadelphia Story and had a big role in choosing the actors and Cukor to direct. Hepburn was a strong and independent woman, and undoubtedly was drawn to a character who stood up to the mistreatment that was common in those times. Her strong-willed character became sympathetic, especially to women who faced similar mistreatment. The film raked in the money and studios wanted to work with her again.
Also, the film was made before a lot of women went to work during WWII, and the second wave of feminism, spawned by the liked of Simone de Beauvoir and Betty Friedan, took hold in the 1960s/70s. The film was a reflection of the common societal problems of its time. It was also made during the Hays Code, and divorce and women rebelling too strongly against husbands and fathers was considered problematic by the moral guardians of that era.
While the film was made during the early days of Edward Bernays, it’s hard to imagine that Hepburn or Hollywood had the PR savvy in those days to calculate ways to rebrand actors with audience subconsciousnesses in mind. Whatever the case, it worked and Hepburn's career was revived.

Bonjour Tristesse
I am watching Bonjour Tristesse on television, right now, as it write this and was
enjoying the the first half- the mix of black and white and color photography, the clarity
or focus of the scenes, the language and attitudes of a particular lifestyle.
Something about the opening B&W scenes reminded me of Lilith, the movie with
Warren Beatty. Duh! They both starred Jean Seberg. My brain was in power-saving mode.
Anyway, I have passed the halfway point and I am losing interest now that a plot has
begun to emerge. "A" for atmosphere, "B-" for plot.
Maybe Hitchcock should have directed.

Trivia:
Sorry for resorting to AI out of laziness. I'm trying to reduce my contribution to the societal and personal cognitive diminishment resulting from succumbing to AI out of laziness, as well as the possible spreading of algorithmic "hallucinations," though Google AI pretty much summed up what I wanted to say.
While ostensibly a warning of a future accelerating human cognitive diminishment, some view this book's message as a Straussian esoteric message of desired results cloaked as a warning.

The Verdict (1946)
The last movie I watched is the one I'm watching right now.
I started the movie already 15 or 20 minutes in progress. It
seemed a bit "talky" at first. I was ready to keep flipping channels,
but then something about the photography and elements
of composition caught my attention, for example- framing
people indoors who are darkly and sharply photographed, looking
outside suffused with a gray and foggy. In nearly every interior
shot we can see through doors into other rooms as if the action
were taking place in a knowable reality rather than a set.
Is the movie any good? It is a film/noir detective mystery which,
so far at least, seems to have a conventional noir plot, full
of complexities and deceptions.
It stars Sydney Greenstreet and Peter lorre that may or may not
be a positive element- as that acting combo seems, maybe, too familiar.
Oh, now it has ended in a fairly so-so fashion. Maybe just watch
the first hour.

Modesty Blaise (1966)
I'm sure there have been movies based on comic strips that were worth watching,
but, I think this is not one of them. I recall (vaguely) that Quintin Tarantino had John Travolta
reading a Modesty Blaise book while on the toilet in Pulp Fiction. That may have encouraged
me to watch.
Anyway, it came on the TV, and I started watching. It seemed to be a take-off of the James Bond
movies with a female "agent" and "mod", "op" artwork and 1960s sensibilities. Modesty was supposed to
be a supreme manipulator, always one step ahead of her foes.
But she wasn't. it seemed like she was always getting trapped and in need of rescue, she really was not
a good fighter. She was awkward and easily overcome or overpowered several times.
One thing that annoyed me about the filming was the dirty streets and sidewalks. Even in the most ordinary,
uninspired, movies they hose down the streets and sweep the sidewalks. And not just the streets,
In Venice, the canal water was full of trash- Yes, it usually is, but in a campy "art" movie, is shouldn't have been.
Dirty streets may have worked in Taxi Driver, but... not in this one.
So, was this a "spoof" or just a badly conceived movie? maybe both.

Unrequited love, death, a somnambulic Baroness who walks the ledge of a roof nightly, a gigantic merkin, supernatural garden-tool robo-spirit kratts (based on Estonian folklore) set in a surreal 19th century Estonian village nestled in a forest. I really enjoyed this film’s hypnotic pace, atmospheric B&W cinematography, and how it was able to transport me to the film’s alternative reality for two hours.

Well, it seems like recently one station has been showing some old B&W movies- recently a few Hitchcock
films and Katharine Hepburn stuff. Last night was Bringing Up Baby.
I had recently seen What's Up Doc and the contrast (of similar concepts) of the characters, Susan Vance (Hepburn)
and Judy Maxwell (Streisand) was what stood out after a few minutes watching.
Judy was a smart, clever, spontaneous, academically brilliant, but "daffy" personality who thrives on chaos to advance her own
agenda.
Susan was basically just a self-centered, "ditzy blond" (though she wasn't blond). At first she reminded me of a Gracie
Allen type, but then the cadence of her voice reminded me more of Carole Lombard. Turns out that Howard Hawks (director)
originally wanted Lombard for the part. Was Hepburn just imitating Lombard?
All in all, I found the movie well constructed and enjoyable, for what it was and should be watched for historical reasons-
though I would have preferred Susan to be less "ditzy" and more "self-actualized" as she was in the jail scene where
she pretended to be a hardened bank robber. Although at the time it was a box office flop, it has, over time, become a
classic of the screwball genre

Asphalt (1929- German)
I was just flipping through channels and came across this film.
The first part caught my attention. A policeman was directing
traffic at a busy intersection. The photography was almost abstract,
almost experimental. It took a few minutes before II realized it was
a silent movie. as I continued to watch, I became less interested
in the plot (stolen diamond, love interest) than the camera work.
Worth watching.
Subtitles were in German, but that was OK.

It must have been Monster night, the other night.
I saw Shin Ultraman. I had never seen an Ultraman movie before,
but liked the effects and overall look of the film. I liked that it
had subtitles and was not dubbed. I also liked the creatures and villains.
Here is a clip.
I also, that night, saw The Blob, with Steve McQueen. I was a little disappointed.
I was expecting the McQueen character to be more "Rebel Without
a Cause", but the character was just an "all American kid". The Blob, itself,
looked like someone squeezing Axle grease through a dollhouse.
Neil deGrasse Tyson gave the Blob high marks, because it was not just
some anthropomorphic "Thing", but was different in a way that an actual alien
might be different.

A kind of tone poem on the persistence of conflict and resistance, a little chaotic but maybe that's the point. All of the performances are excellent (Sean Penn is especially notable, Leo DiCaprio and Chase Infiniti terrific), a little long at about three hours but well worth the time.
