Watched Marty Supreme last night and like the others, I liked it.  It was a well-crafted piece, the writing and direction were good, the performances were pretty much excellent.  Like others have noted, there wasn't much to like about most of the characters, but that was also the point.

I'd put it at #5 behind all of the others above, but that's no slight, they really are all good movies.  It's refreshing and surprising to me, that all of these Academy-nominated movies were so good this year.

Might watch Train Dreams tonight, will report back, I know you're all anxiously awaiting!

I enjoyed Train Dreams more than I expected.

Due to being brought up on charges of heresy by Wildcat, we watched Smokey and the Bandit the other day.  Basically an extended episode of the Dukes of Hazard, I thought.  It was ridiculous, goofy, pointless....and very entertaining.  Lots of good one-liners.  My favorite line, "The Germans have nothing to do with this," made me realize I've heard somebody (FF?) quote that a few times here, and it must be where he got it from.  

It was before my time, so I'm not sure if it was considered any more high art back then than it would be today, but that doesn't matter.  It was a fun way to kill an hour and and a half.

Definitely.  Dukes of Hazzard obviously came after Bandit, but it's clear to see that elements of Bandit heavily influenced the Dukes.

I thought of a couple other movies I've seen in theaters "recently," trying to accurately gauge my propensity to get out to see them these days.  Being pretty sure the following is the final, definitive list since 2020, then by calendar year I'm going to 1 movie per year.  I previously discussed reasons why I think my attendance dwindled, and I'm not sure how many I used to see per year, but I'd guess about 3 on average.  

Top Gun: Maverick
MI: Final Reckoning
Spiderman: No Way Home
Project Hail Mary
Sound of Freedom
Oppenheimer
Superman

Only one of them that I didn't like, though it didn't have anything to do with going to see it in a theater.  I just didn't like the movie.  So I don't go often, but I've still got an 85.7% satisfaction rate when I do make it to the theaters.

Before your time?  Weren't you born in '77, or thereabouts?  Every 70's kid loved S&TB.  We all had playskool walkie talkies, everybody wanted to either be the Bandit or the Snowman.  But it was fun being Buford T. Justice as well.  

That's like you saying Star Wars was before your time.

I'm waiting for MI:  Final Reckoning 2, lol.

Like how did Final Destination have a bunch of sequels?  Or any?  

Anyway, I'll probably go see Masters of the Universe, because I was obsessed with He-Man when I was a kid and it looks fun.
