At The Movies: Netflix Flicks

55 Comments

Let's put up a movie post!

I recently watched a whole bunch of things, which I'll note at some point in the future. But specifically I wanted to share this little fun clip advertisement I saw for the movie Red Notice. Red Notice was apparently a big Netflix movie, and, like a lot of theirs, felt like it was rushed a bit, maybe needed another rewrite to tighten stuff up, etc. Kind of made up for the lack of writing by just having fun people doing fun things. And in the end it was good enough, because of that.

Anyway, what have y'all thought of Netflix movies (and similar?).

Aaaaaaand... also apparently I can't get the clip in this post. Half baked. I'll try the comments.

What are you watching?

Gene Wilder & Mercedes Ruehl – Yodelaine

Video

Alright, so this is an unorthodox choice. I couldn't decide between a lot of iconic performances, so instead, here's a scene from Wilder's (and Pryor's) final film (but, uh... the dialog is in Portuguese... and stuff).

2016 continues to be a harsh mistress (as the next couple days will also note).

Fun aggregation: essentially, "The Best of [everything] - 2015" ranked according to number of mentions on critic's year-end best-of lists. You could probably go further with it, ranking according to average placement on lists, but for CoC purposes, this is more than enough info:
