#52, or #2422, 1957's "Peyton Place."
With and after dinner, watched —
#53, or #2423, 2026 doc “Disneyland Handcrafted.”
Truly just wall-to-wall violations of even the most loosey-goosey of basic modern health and safety standards.
I've definitely seen at least one other adaptation of this that I fully do not remember, leaving now to go see —
#54, or #2424, 2026's ""Wuthering Heights"."

Alex Daily not going to improv comedy class tonight, on account of it being a vacation week, and so Alex Daily can instead go to the Mystery Classic. (Like Sneak Preview but the movie is old.)
The hints are "The day after carnival," and "Iron ....," and we like @kurt 's suggestion of it being "The Hangover," but only one way to find out, leaving now.

It's the third of four movies that have ask, what if a star was born, it's —

If you’ve known me long enough, you’ll know I’m obsessed with malls. Not “shrine in my basement”-obsessed, just “sometimes I’ll watch a movie specifically because it’s set in a mall”-obsessed.
You can probably extrapolate from that that I’ve obviously also been thinking about the secret mall apartment since the moment I first heard the story.
With and after dinner, I watched —
#67, or #2437, 2024 documentary “Secret Mall Apartment.”
The new Pixar is called "Hoppers" in America but "Jumpers" here, and so obviously I haven't been calling it "Joppers" but the other thing, leaving now to go see —
#68, or #2438, 2026's "Jumpers."
Let's wrap up Barbra Streisand's career as a director, I don't know anything about this one, either, it's —
#69, or #2439, 1996's "The Mirror Has Two Faces."
Jeff Bridges is a maths professor who knows he can't handle another passionate love affair because the last one derailed him writing his book by 14 years.
Babs plays a professor of Romantic Literature who still lives with her mom, mostly watches baseball, and only goes on dates with nebbish little accountants she doesn't want to see a second time.
Presumably, they'll make it work.
A phone sex performer has given Bridges the tip to take out an ad to help him find what he's looking for:
"Columbia University professor (male) seeks woman interested in common goals and companionship. Must have a Ph.D. and be over thirty-five."
and then, in bold, underlined:
"Physical appearance NOT import!"
you see, the man is sick to death of constantly having sex with extremely hot women
In the middle of a test, Bridges is sorting applicants into piles of "rejects," "too pretty," and "possibilities."
He takes one look at an admittedly unflattering picture of Barbra Streisand and goes "hmm." Finally, he thinks, noted unattractive person Barbra Streisand.
(The sister sent it in, of course.)
"Humour in calculus?"
inconceivable
"I don't want to do this."
I said nothing.
His whole issue is that he lets his life get completely run over by passion, and that's why he wants the sexless marriage, companionship without the problem. He wants 0% beer.
Unfortunately she /wants/ the passion, which he's scared to surrender to.
But for all his openness about what he wants, he's not talking at all about the why, they're not evaluating their options at all. Ergo, conflict.
They've separated over the sex issue, and at 90 minutes in, you could easily have them both have an aha moment and end the picture in another five to ten.
There's 35 minutes left.
(Presumably because the Pierce Brosnan thing still needs to go somewhere.)
"I might as well tell you, she's with Alex now."
"/Alex/?"
yeah I can't believe it either
Unlike "Tides," this one knows it’s insane, I think, and so: Another good Barbra Streisand movie. 2 for 3 not a bad score.
If she ever makes another movie I’m there day one.
