#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."

It's the movie today best remembered for the "Seinfeld" episode of the same title where Elaine is the only person in town who hates it, leaving now for a screening of —

#72, or #2442, 1996's "The English Patient."

I won't say Elaine was right, but I do get it.

This thing is long, I soured on the flashback romance as it went on — it really only picks back up when Colin Firth chucks a plane at the problem, and anyway, I cared more about Hana and Kip — and overall it’s just the kind of 90s Oscar bait melodrama I don’t care for. Could cut a good half hour outta this thing without losing much.

It’s handsomely made, though, and if somebody told me they loved this, that’s another perspective on it I’d get.

If you dragged me to this a third time, though, yeah, I would absolutely be yelling “Just die already!” at the screen.
