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

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

It occurs to me that I have done this long enough to warrant a hashtag. Thus, I encourage you to vote on this week's #FridayMovie

Which is to say
I have three movies queued up this friday afternoon. When I come back in an hour after getting a pizza, should I watch

It is friday, and you know what that means
that's right
the weekly #FridayMovie poll!

After I press post, I go outside to get a pizza. When I get back with said pizza, should I watch

I just realized the second round now has gone on as long as the first one did, and so it might be prudent to make a list of previous movies. Just to have 'em posted

Lost in translation (2003)
Good bye Lenin (2003)
How to marry a millionaire (1953)
The rocky horror picture show (1975)
24 hour party people (2002)
The long goodbye (1973)
Gun fury (1953)
Elvira: mistress of the dark (1988)
The long kiss goodnight (1996)
The incredibly true adventure of two girls in love (1995)
Modesty Blaise (1966)

I was asked about the seemingly random and nonsensical selection of movies, so here's a recap

For the first round, it consisted of movies that I had downloaded at some point in time and then never bothered to watch. The weekly poll was a neat vehicle to get around to watching 'em

Then I ran out of movies, and so I downloaded a brand new set, seeking out more and/or less famous movies I'd vaguely like to get around to seeing one day. And so, the weekly polls continued into their second round
