I would simply not give in to the intense urge to drink human blood.

I don't know what this one's about, either, it's --

#1725, or #233, 1975 Australian film "Picnic at Hanging Rock."

#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."
