No country for old men
after oh so many years I get to find out what this movie is about
aschmitz@sargoth Surely it must be about stateless old guys having trouble getting a passport somewhere because they've passed the grace period of adulthood in the Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness.
Butternuts 🦆@sargoth it's not about anything but it's still very very good
@batterpunts it's somehow even slower than Carpenter's Assault on precinct 13 from a couple of weeks back
@sargoth it's good slow. now stop reading toots and watch it fully.

two fun nuggets is that
1) this thread apparently breaks some masto clients, which is always an interesting find, and
2) I am rapidly running out of random movies that past me downloaded that one time, which means I'll either have to get more of 'em, or wind down this experiment in slacktivist randomization

this is the second movie I've seen that have featured the Beastie Boy song Sabotage
mcc@sargoth what i dislike is often movies use Sabotage as shorthand for "a very loud song" but then they forget there's that 17 second intro which is not very loud at all
@mcc completely unrelated to sabotage: I do appreciate that soundcloud allows you to see when a song Gets Loud
just in case one gets confused about the earlier parts and them being relatively noisy
RA, God of the Sun (mix 6)
As the name suggests, the songs on this album all reflect the character and story of the Ancient Egyptian God they represent.

next week will be an interesting fulcrum point, in that I am rapidly running out of movies I downloaded that one time with a vague notion of watching them later
the many, many votes are in, and the winner is dat harvest sky
nyoooom
this movie did not, in fact, at any point, nyoom
I have exactly one movie queued up this friday afternoon, and then I have officially run out of movies that I downloaded that one time with a vague commitment to watching them at some point. This makes for a short list this week, and a longer one next week, by virtue of repeating the process with a brand new iteration of "that one time". As one does
And so, one last time: when I get back from getting a pizza, should I watch
White noise (2022)

and so the first phase of an era comes to an end. build your own ancient traditions
Just to have it written down,
and on the off chance it comes in handy on a rainy day where inspiration seems to be a foreign notion,
and/or to feed a future _ebook someone might build off of this account,
Escape from New York (1981)
Constantine (2005)
October sky (1999)
Blade Runner (1982/2007)
How to steal a million (1966)
No country for old men (2007)
Smilla's sense of snow (1997)
Kimi (2022)
Emily the criminal (2022)
Beneath the harvest sky (2013)
White noise (2022)
And thus our months-long experiment in cinematic democratized randomization enters into a second phase, with a new batch of movies I downloaded that one time. Which is all to say:
I have four movies queued up this friday afternoon. When I come back in an hour after getting a pizza, should I watch
Good bye Lenin (2003)
Lost in translation (2003)
How to marry a millionaire (1953)
Gun fury (1953)

from contextual clues, we can conclude that "that one time" of round one happened sometime during 2022. the corresponding time for round two happened a specific tuesday 2024

the reason this movie made the list is that I heard that a song by Air is in it
friends
I can confirm
the song is in it
@sargoth I can confirm that is also the reason I voted for it, and that I know nothing about the movie besides that.

@sargoth strictly speaking, the least voted for option should not be viewed, so potentially you watch no movie today
@batterpunts it amuses me that there are established rules of procedures for these votes, and that they specify what happens even if no one votes
(victory by seniority. the pizza requires at least one movie. them's the rules)
@sargoth no votes leads to undefined behaviour as per C compiler
