A French movie about a woman painter in 18th century France and her relationship with another woman she was hired to paint.....it was my suggestion as it sounded like something my wife would enjoy. Her take? "They should have shown the paint drying instead."

She seemingly did not enjoy the scenes with the naked women making out nearly as much as I did. Go figure.

After watching My Spy with the kids and Stuber with the wife, I have to admit Dave Bautista’s career as an action-comedy leading man is off to a surprisingly good start. Of course, Kumail Nanjiani is good in everything.

With no sports and not much TV, I've been recording old movies off of TCM lately. A few:

An excellent movie and definitely worth a watch. And my god....Shirley MacLaine.

I've always liked the Deniro one and figured it was time to watch the original. Gregory Peck >> Nick Nolte, but I'd have a hard time taking Mitchum over Deniro. Of course, this one didn't have Juliette Lewis in it, so that's a huge plus in my book.

I hadn't seen this one in probably 30 years. For a move that's over 70 years old, it holds up astonishingly well, in my IMO.

Watched Karate Kid I & II last night on AMC. Even though I remembered III being terrible I watched about 15 minutes of it before turning it off, as it was even worse than my kid-self remembers.

The thing I took away after watching these again is ... where the fuck are the police and children's services while all this is going on? High school kids are beating the crap out of each other. Adults are beating the crap out of high school kids. Kreese is choking the shit out of Johnny at the beginning of III in the parking lot of the Valley Y in front of 30 witnesses and nobody presses charges? Daniel's mom basically abandons him, letting a 50 year old strange man raise her only child while she leaves the city for extended absences, including not seeing her son off to college. Miyagi and Daniel travel to Okinawa together despite knowing each other for all of seven or eight months. Heck, even Century 21 leased commercial property to Daniel, who paid in cash and forged Mr Miyagi's name on the lease! :lol:



Actually the picture of Ralph Macchio is from the movie Teachers filmed in the old Central High School, Columbus Ohio.

Whatever the equivalent of varmint testicles are, you need to go find them.

Jesus.

What About Bob? (on HBO)

Really makes me realize how often I quote this one... “Vacation from my problems”, “I’m sailing!”, “If I can fake it, I don’t have it!”, “Oh... the fam!”, even “I’ll be quiet- I’ll be peace”, and of course Baby Steps.

Bob Wiley seems way more normal these days, for better and worse.

Caddyshack
Classic.

Forty years ago, on July 25, 1980, a small-budget snobs-versus-slobs summer comedy about the underpaid caddies and overprivileged members of a lily-white country club called Bushwood opened in theaters across the U.S.

Can you believe that Caddyshack is 40 years old?

FWIW, interesting SI story on Caddyshack II:
