#MovieThread V: Definitely Not The Final Frontier, Chapter Six — June Edition
From 2020 to 2023 I watched 1492 movies. This year so far, I've watched another 201, for a total of 1693 movies.
I fucked up the total number so bad last month that I was more than 200 off, so I went back and edited those posts, yeesh.
This month:
* Starting Nora Ephron.
* I'm turning in my graduation project on Monday, so, you know, probably some downtime after that.

I guess I'm starting June with the movie I once went "haha, that sounds fucking terrible, could not make me watch that in a million years" about until the friend who was watching it pointed out it was nominated for Best Picture, it's --
#1694, or #202, 1942's "The Pride of the Yankees."
Woah, they made a movie where Furiosa (from "Furiosa") meets Mad Max (from "Mad Max")! From pride to fury, it's --
#1695, or #203, 2015's "Mad Max: Fury Road."
I've turned in my graduation project so my brain feels like a leaky balloon and I might as well watch a movie I'll hate anyway, and this one's a propaganda piece about a battle the American armed forces lost that came out eight months after it happened and is probably racist, it's --
#1696, or #204, 1942 Best Picture nominee "Wake Island."
Afternoon movie. Afternoovie.
It's --
#1697, or #205, 1994's "Stargate."
None of us know what the future holds and so we must make moves to get closer and learn.
Leaving now for Sneak Preview.
#1698, or #206.
Hollywood should make screwball comedies again, it's --
#1699, or #207, 1942 Best Picture nominee "The Talk of the Town."
You've heard of the first "Omen," now get ready for --
#1700, or #208, 2024's "The First Omen."
When I saw this in the cinema a few years ago I went, "well, it's a well-liked classic for a reason, but it definitely injected or at least reinforced some real problematic nonsense into the culture," but the longer it's sat with me the more I think it might be one of my favourite movies ever, it's --
#1701, or #209, 1989's "When Harry Met Sally..."
On Letterboxd, this is the least-popular Best Picture nominee I haven't seen yet, outranked by "The Patriot" -- a lost film!! -- and all I could find of it it is a VHS rip, it's --
#1702, or #210, 1942 Best Picture nominee "The Pied Piper."
I should rewatch this before the second one comes out, it's --
#1703, or #211, 2015 Pixar film "Inside Out."
* May 26: Saw 2024's "Furiosa" in the cinema, #196.
* June 2: Watched 2015's "Mad Max: Fury Road" at home, #1695, figuring I'd have heard about a cinematic rerelease of 2015's "Mad Max: Fury Road" by now.
* June 4: Heard about cinematic rerelease of 2015's "Mad Max: Fury Road."
* June 5: Told the Brother, who had yet to watch 2015's "Mad Max: Fury Road."
* June 10: Leaving now to go see —
#1704, or #212: 2015's "Mad Max: Fury Road."
It's been a while since I've checked in on my horror list -- #185 and #186, "Ju-On: Black Ghost" and "Ju-On: White Ghost" -- so let's watch Romero's final zombie movie, it's --
#1705, or #213, 2009's "Survival of the Dead."
All I remember about this one is I think there's a pretty good tank chase? Leaving now to go see --
#1723, or #231, 1995's "GoldenEye."
If 2007's "[🔴REC]" is so good, why isn't there a 2009's "[🔴REC]²"? It's a mystery. Anyway, it's --
#1706, or #214, 2009's "[🔴REC]²"
I do not know what this one's about, it's --
#1724, or #232, 1994 Nora Ephron picture "Mixed Nuts."
Remember those 1980s "The Stepfather" movies, where Terry O'Quinn assumes a series of fake identities so as to marry a series of unsuspecting widows with a series of unsuspecting kids to inevitably kill?
What if everyone involved knew about cellphones? (But not smartphones quite yet.) It's --
#1707, or #215, 2009's "The Stepfather."
I don't remember which one this is, besides "the one with Roger Moore, the KGB, and a submarine" but if there's a Bond classics screening I go to the Bond classics screening, leaving now to go see --
#1708, or #216, 1977's "The Spy Who Loved Me."
I don't know what this is about, but they've covered it on this week's Cinematic Universe, and it looks loud, so maybe it'll be enough to drone out the anxiety gremlins in my brain, it's --
#1709, or #217, 2004 Japanese picture "Kamikaze Girls."
