I've been watching all the Marvel movies this month for some reason. You?

Well, I was close. It's actually a heartbreaker, as I was off yesterday and had ample time to BS about film. I can't say I saw much, though; I finally saw the final Harry Potter movie yesterday, about four years after seeing the one prior. My wife ended up watching it with her parents, thinking I had seen it for some reason, so I never got around to it.

Sitting alone in my living room on a day off with the lights out, shades drawn and a movie on my new and altogether-too-high-end TV and home audio was pretty spectacular, I've gotta say. I need to work a little more of that into my life. I should probably just quit my job to catch up on cinema.

I saw some things. Several things, actually. I watched a couple of long epics, Ran and The Deer Hunter, on the same day a couple of days ago. Did you know John Cazale was only in five movies before his death, and they were all nominated for Best Picture (with three of them winning)? I didn't, but I feel like I should have.

Might as well get one in this month.

We haven't seen any movies in a while but have been catching up on The Americans and keeping up with Game of Thrones. My analysis of both: damn.
