So, this NY newspaper ad from October, 1959 intrigues me. Zooming in, I can see this is when my third favorite movie of all time was playing at my local hometown Loews theater. I wonder if my parents went.
Back then, a trip to the movies was a glorious night out. Now, not so much. People barely get to the kitchen to microwave a bag of popcorn. The community experience of enjoying a film is sadly gone. But, I'll look anyway. You know the monthly drill, folks. I'll sort through what now resembles a newspaper and give you my gut reaction to what's currently not being seen on our local screens.
Save for one which is doing big box office.
Barbie: And sucks. One of the worst movies I have ever seen. Don't buy into the hype.
Haunted Mansion: Disney repurposes everything. Now it's turning theme park rides into dopey movies.
Oppenheimer: Three hours long. And how did they make that long a movie about the producer of "I Love Lucy?" Oh, wait, I got that wrong.
Last Voyage of the Demeter: I never took the first voyage of the Demeter.
Meg 2 - The Trench: This is something large that eats things. Starring Lizzo?
Sound of Freedom: I hear good things about this child trafficking story. People on Fox News love it. So, don't tell me. It has a conservative POV?
Mission Impossible - Dead Reckoning - Part 1: Reviewed here recently. Almost three hours of jaw dropping excitement. The same time you would spend on line at a Six Flags park.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Mutant Mayhem: Mutant Mayhem....otherwise known as Congress.
Shortcomings: An Asian rom com. Which means it's no better or worse than a regular rom com.
Talk to Me: I don't wanna.
Gran Turismo: A racing biopic. I am waving a yellow flag.
Jules: A reliable cast of Ben Kingsley, Harriet Sansom Harris, and Jane Curtin meet an alien. One from outer space, not Mexico.
Blue Beetle: Ringo the Smurf?
Theater Camp: This comedy about kids at a musical comedy camp had a cute trailer. Never a good sign.
Strays: I saw the trailer and thought the movie was foul and offensive. I also laughed my ass off so I'm going.
Dinner last night: Cold salad plate.

Is "Last Voyage of the Demeter" about former Dodgers OF (later Phillies) Don Demeter?
