#MovieThread VII: The Kino Awakens, Chapter Three — March Edition

From 2020 to 2025 I watched 2370 movies.
In 2026 so far I've watched another 70, for a total of 2440 movies.

This month:
* John McTiernan.
* Ninja Turtles, probably.

Starting John McTiernan, it's the movie "Nomadland" is not a sequel to, it's —

#71, or #2441, 1986's "Nomads."

Show threadAlex Daily! Mar 7
John McTiernan is, of course, best known for directing "Die Hard" and "Predator," neither of which I'll be rewatching, and for going to federal prison for hiring a private investigator to do an illegal wiretap on his own producer and then lying to the feds about it.

Anyway, Pierce Brosnan is here pretending to be French, so that's not a great sign.

"Jesus Christ, he's dead!"

that's a wrap on Le Pierce Brosnan, I guess

Show threadAlex Daily! Mar 7

Before promptly dying, Le Pierce Brosnan threw his whole hospital bed around, injured Dr Flax (Lesley-Anne Down) and whispered something French into her ear.

I'm sure that'll be the last we see, hear, or otherwise detect of Le Brosnan, who is, of course, the main figure on the poster.

Dr Flax suddenly finds herself overwhelmed by occasional visions from somebody else's perspective — Le Brosnan's, we learn, when she finds herself seeing his reflection in a mirror in the vision.
Show threadAlex Daily! Mar 7
She's passed out, woken back up, left the hospital without much fuss, and is now going to where the visions were set. She's watching Le Brosnan sort through black and white photos with Le Brosnan's Le Girlfriend. Specific attention is drawn to a photo of an Inuit woman, so presumably this is all happening because of something something Inuit.

Some punks in a van are doin' a hassle of Monsieur Brosnan.
Show threadAlex Daily! Mar 7

She's now speaking French in her sleep.

Frenchness? Infectious?

Show threadAlex Daily! Mar 7

When I say "punks," please understand that they're all wearing black leather and chains and could just as easily be from "Mad Max" as from "Return of the Living Dead."

anyway, Monsieur Brosnan is now stalking them and their van, and wondering when they sleep.

He's just witnessed them punching a hole in a man's head with a steel pipe, and has decided this is the moment to come out from behind the conveniently cinematically grimy barrel and yell "Hey! Stop!"
