Just got back from visiting an ex. We didn't watch a movie like we usually do, just talked.

But now I'm home and starting The Little Drummer Girl (1984), directed by George Roy, starring Diane Keaton, Yorgo Voyagis, Klaus Kinski and Thorley Walters. It's kind of a spy drama, set in the Israeli-PLO era. It was remade as a BBC TV miniseries in 2018.

Just got home a bit ago from a meetup with some friends. Good experience.

Now beginning to watch the first of two movies I plan to see tonight.

The Shrouds (2024), directed by David Cronenberg, starring Diane Kruger, Vincent Cassel, Guy Pearce, and Sandrine Holt. This is a Criterion release I got in that sale.

It's easy to forget how much it's a PITA to have a collection of physical media until you have to move it.

I finally visited a local metal music store today, which is also sadly closing down.

I haven't heard this from Enslaved, but it was a cheap second-hand copy and in good condition.

Also, would you believe me if I told you that I am one of the young people getting into physical music formats for the old school cool? 💿

I just watched that Cuaron film after not being able to do so last night. Pretty good.

Three films on deck tonight.

First up, Mystery Train (1989), directed by Jim Jarmusch, starring a ton of awesome musicians and actors. It's one of his anthology films, and I have the Criterion Blu-Ray from their flash sale.

Second, The Intergalactic Adventures of Max Cloud (2020), directed by Martin Owen, starring Scott Adkins. It's British comedy SF.

Last, The American Ruling Class (2005), directed by John Kirby, It's an odd political-economic documentary with musical numbers, I guess. Hopefully fun enough to keep me awake.
