I forgot how good this movie is. Malcolm McDowell 110% charm, which he needs to be to make a brutal thug like Alex a protagonist worth watching.
Now I need to find the full version of “I Want To Marry A Lighthouse Keeper.”

I promise there will be better ones. I’m warming up! -
Movie Pass Adventures: The Room Next Door
My first movie of 2025!
…and it’s not great. This is Pedro Almodóvar’s first English language movie; maybe the rhythms of English don’t flow as naturally for him, and it’s effecting his directing and editing. Lots of stiff exposition, including a couple of scenes with dialogue so hamfisted that people laughed. Still, it’s mostly Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton, and they’re often watchable.
Oooh! A new thing I’m doing!
I track the movies I watch on Letterboxd. When I log a movie, I can accept the default poster, choose one of the available alternates… or UPLOAD MY OWN. My goal this year: create technically accurate but misleading posters for every movie I see. This is the first one I’m posting:
“Oh, hi Martha!” Fediverse reactions

He was always so ahead of his time
Waka Waka!

Apologies to System of a Down
“Now, THIS album SUCKS…” -
Now not playing at the Alamo Drafthouse!
I cannot say where these came from.

Alamo Drafthouse plays some wild stuff.
Update:
Someone pointed out that a movie called “Bitter Harvest” was actually made a few years ago. If you want your poster of imaginary movies to avoid having real counterparts, steal this version instead:

SCANDALOUS!
I’m out of practice.

Famous Movie Scenes, Part II
Less than 24 hours ago I posted a collection of some of my favorite movie scenes, and it quickly became the most popular piece of media ever created. I was nominated for twelve Pulitzer Prizes and three Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards, and I was declared President of the Earth and Related Planetary Systems.
So here are a few more.
The jury from 12 Angry Men (1957). 
Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell in His Girl Friday (1940). 
Marlon Brando in The Godfather (1972). 
Boris Karloff in Frankenstein (1931). I’m pretty sure that’s every movie ever made.
