Looking forward to this in November, NSFW. So many familiar faces in the trailer, Frances McDormand is turning her Olive Kitteridge ornery realist up ten notches.

 

Wow....Intense!

Saw two movies, will see another next week, this Movie Pass has already paid off. It's worth the former $35/month rather than the $10/month now. Wonder what privacy I've sold away other than they knowing what movies I see. Anyway, will probably see 2 more movies in the monthly period, maybe 3 (now since all the award vying movies are being released rather than the summer box office fare), so that's $10 I paid instead of $75-80 (5 movies). Crazy. Company biz plan makes no sense.

Watched 5 movies with MoviePass - Battle of Sexes (bogey), The Square (par), Human Flow (birdie), Novitiate (birdie), Killing Sacred Deer (par) - will watch at least 2 more - 3 Billboards and Thelma. If I didn't have the pass would have probably, ahem, passed on Battle and Flow, watch it at home. although Human Flow is a better watch in a theater. Definitely watched more than normally would have. Have read folks who watch over a dozen/month get their fees increased. Eight is probably max for me, 2/week is a lot.

Bad Moms Christmas gets a par. It was about what I expected, not quite as good as the original.

Thor : Ragnarok.  Birdie.  For a comic book movie it’s pretty damn funny.  Not sure if the humor will hold up on repeated viewings, but it’s a great waste of two hours.

After three years of watching it now, I'm ready to declare Edge of Tomorrow the best action film of the last ten years. I liked Taken a lot too, but Edge has the...um...  edge? Hehe. 

 

330 yard drive down the pipe. 230 yard five iron to ten feet. Almost lip-out, but somehow falls in... Eagle.

The final act is a bit shaky, but overall, I love this flick.

I just watched Get Out. I give it an easy eagle. I'm not really a horror fan but that movie was incredible.

Due to my inherit cheapness, I have to wait until it finally comes out on one of the movie channels in Canada.  December 9 is circled on my calendar.

I waited until it came out on HBO, so I fully understand the impulse.

A friend and I went to the late (10pm) showing of Justice League last night.   It has its flaws, for sure, but I quite enjoyed it.   Some of the CGI is sketchy in spots, and the plot is nothing new, but it was a lot of fun.  I’ll get flamed for posting this, but I really like Ben Affleck as Batman.  

I think I’ll give this a missed birdie putt for a tap in par.

The Cinemark near runs Fathom Movie events. The past 4-5 months they been showing one Studio Ghibli movie a month. Today I got to see Howl's Moving Castle. 

I've seen many of Miyazaki's movies. The first, I believe being Princess Mononoke. Though Spirited Away is probably his most acclaimed movie. Being it is the only hand draw animated movie to ever win the best animated movie Oscar. It topped Titanic as the most grossing film ever in Japan.  I get greater enjoyment watching Howl's Moving Castle over Spirited Away. 

I give this movie a tap in eagle putt!

My top ten would be:

  • Spirited Away
  • Princess Mononoke
  • My Neighbor Totoro
  • Howl's Moving Castle
  • Castle in the Sky
  • Nausicaa
  • Arietty
  • From Up On Poppy Hill
  • Kiki's Delivery Service
  • Ponyo

He's currently out of retirement and making another film last I read.

They were playing in my neck of the woods too, but just couldn't make time to see any of them.

I definitely need to see of the other Miyazaki movies. I've seen 5 of the top 6 on your list there. I would say that Spirited Away is probably a better story from beginning to end. I enjoy the characters in Howl's Moving Castle much better. The music in Howl's Moving Castle is fantastic. 

I haven't watched Princess Mononoke, Castle in the Sky or Nausicaa in years.

    • Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!
    • LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along. 
    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.
