I'll be signing up for Disney+ soon so I can watch the Beatles thing, so I intend to catch up on all the Marvel I've missed while I'm at it

Re: Thief's Monthly Movie Loot - 2021 Edition

How do you feel about future Pugh appearances in the MCU? Does it look like they were setting that up, and would you welcome it if it happened? I've read a few reviews that seemed to suggest there...

Oh wow, good to know. I was under the assumption that the US ending had been stricken from the record, if you will.

And I agree neither ending is "happy" but the US ending allows you to imagine...

I've seen it a bunch as well. I'm a sucker for a film with a killer final shot/moment, so I've got it at 4-1/2 right now. (I don't even remember why I docked it half a star)

I assume the...

This was also my reaction after my first viewing. I was expecting it to be "funnier" somehow. Many viewings later, it's one of my favorite films and the fact that I once considered it "not funny...

I recently watched Booksmart on Hulu and enjoyed it quite a bit. The two leads especially had a great chemistry together. If you're looking for something fun, I'd recommend it.

I checked this one out tonight and mostly agree with your reaction.

Re: Thief's Monthly Movie Loot - 2021 Edition

oooh forgot to comment on The Innocents. One of my favorite movies, obviously. Freddie Francis crushed it.
That was your first time?

Nice! I've felt like the only person that was enthusiastic about that one. Liked it more than Mandy but can't find anyone that agrees with me.

Re: Thief's Monthly Movie Loot - 2021 Edition

That's one of the movies that we showed during my brief run as a theater employee in '89. So I feel like I've seen it, even though it was in 1-minute increments as a I patrolled the auditorium. ...

Ha, that's true but I also couldn't remember if Lorre got a bunch of screentime in that one, so I ultimately decided to skip it. Glad you found it anyway. :up:

Nice! I almost recommended that one but thought it might be too much of a "deep cut".
The way Rooney keeps digging his hole ever deeper starts to get borderline comical. At any point he could've...

Re: Thief's Monthly Movie Loot - 2021 Edition

For your Peter Lorre film, my first two recs would be Arsenic and Old Lace or Mad Love, but I don't think you can stream either of them.
So I'll throw in a good word for The Comedy of Terrors on...
