Straight up. And wasn't Maud Adams sexy in this one? Whew.
On an all time HIGHHHHH...
Finally watched Cake with Jennifer Aniston, and actually forgot she was Jennifer Aniston. She surpassed herself with that performance. Depressing movie, but I was in the right mood for it.
Last full movie: Star Trek Beyond
Tonight we watched half of the 1979 Salem's Lot. I only ever saw it once, when I was a kid. Wonky casting, but it catches the essence of the story anyway. And the vampire make up was the bomb! I fully expect son to end up in my bed tonight with nightmares--lol

I watched half of Child's Play 2 last night.
I watched the Re-Animator last night, Very 80's - based on Lovecraft's story. 
Thoughts on Roger Moore:
He was part of my life since childhood - he was Ivanhoe on British kids' TV, then Beau Maverick, then The Saint (for forever)(me: sings the theme tune hook and looks upwards at halo appearing), then The Persuaders - all hugely enjoyable light action/adventure series, even though he couldn't act for toffee. His films were much the same - enjoyable, light, action/adventure, undemanding stuff.
Then he did James Bond, and I don't suppose it's fair to hold that against him just because I found his version of Bond shudderingly wrong headed (and I greatly enjoyed his book Bond On Bond, notwithstanding his constantly referring to Bond as "Jimmy", which just provided evidence, to someone who read the Bond books before the film series started, of how misconceived his approach to Bond was). And, for a lot of people, he WAS James Bond: at least, he was their version of the character. And, even though he couldn't act, he was nonetheless a complete pro, and his "non-acting" acting was precisely what he got hired for.
He always came across in interviews as a nice guy, hugely self-deprecating, never taking himself seriously. Michael Sheard (Admiral Ozzell in The Empire Strikes Back) and he were very good friends, and he wrote a lovely introduction for one of Michael's books (the one I got a mention in), so that's another reason to sing his praises.
RIP Roger, and thanks for all those years of screen entertainment.

#1 fan (Annie Wilkes cousin) 1st cousin Mom's side
Finally got to watch the movie "Office Space" from beginning to end recently. It was on one of the Movie Channels so I recorded it.
Pretty good!
Pretty good!
It's got its moments. Tobe Hooper knows how to throw ya some creepy.
As for casting, heck, gimme Hutch over Rob Lowe any day.
I agree. Rob Lowe was better suited for his role in The Stand.
I only made it about 30 mins into the Rob Lowe version before I couldn't take anymore. The stupid, it burned
Maybe Rob and Molly Ringwald could team up for a movie......I only made it about 30 mins into the Rob Lowe version before I couldn't take anymore. The stupid, it burned
100% Agree!! I am NOT a JA fan, but didn't mind her in this movie. Saw it quite some time ago, but remember liking it.
Manhattan (Woody Allen)
One of the characters accuses Allen's character of having a God Complex. He shrugs, and says, "Hey, I have to model myself after somebody."

Wonder Woman - Finally! A decent DC film where they get the characters right! And which remembers to be fun!

I'm not sure but I think it's Manhattan that has this gem. Woody and Diane Keaton are getting in a cab and Woody looks at Diane and says, "You're so beautiful, I can hardly keep my eyes on the meter."
Lol...that one must've slipped by me. I love his one-liners and his delivery of a joke. In Annie Hall, the Woody character as a kid is kissing all the girls in his class and one of the disgruntled girls says, (something like) "For Pete's sake, Alvie, even Freud spoke of a latency period!"I'm not sure but I think it's Manhattan that has this gem.

The funniest, to me, is Manhattan Murder Mystery. Crying laughter.
