But it’s Thanksgiving, and my favorite tradition is to get a healthy buzz and feel feelings to this movie. IYKYK

So I saw Home Alone in theaters on Christmas Eve 1990 when I was 6, almost 7. 
 

Tonight I discovered that I have one of the exact same toys that Buzz had (after Kevin crashes Buzz’s shelves). 
 

A) I’ve literally been watching this movie every year for 30 years.

2) I’m just now noticing this.

D) I’ve had this stupid little rubber puppet for over 30 years.

Saw Nightmare Alley last night and really enjoyed it. Full disclosure, I'm a del Toro fanboy but, like Shape of Water, this is a movie lover's movie. It's big cinema meant to be enjoyed in the theater. Some might find the pacing slow and if you hate noir then you won't love this, but I thought the story, acting and especially visual aspects of it were amazing.

started watching Japanese anime instead of movies, Such a nice representations

Saw the new Scream. More interesting meta commentaryabout fan culture, Hollywood, franchise films, IP, etc. But I didn't love the movie. 

Neve Campbell looks fantastic.

She was always one of my childhood crushes.  She's just so mysteriously beautiful. She brings some scary baggage though lol

That's hilarious.  I remember those little goblins.  We may have had one at one time as well but don't remember what it comes from.

Thought it was a very good movie. Saw it back in the fall. Tons of movies to watch with our set up  and seems most are trash.

Finally a real trailer.  Can't wait.  Love the whole series.  Excited that the original trio is finishing their story to go along with the newer cast.

Haven't been able to bring myself to watch that one again. Most nerve wracking movie I've ever seen.

Getting to work in earnest on the Oscar noms.

As I said before, loved Nightmare Alley. 

Highly recommend Belfast. Hard for me to articulate what sets it apart. Just a very unique tone and a really good look inside The Troubles, which we all know about but might not really know much about.

Halfway through West Side Story. (Mrs. Loof fell asleep.)  I'm not a fan of musicals- like, at all- but really enjoying this take on that story so far. Spielberg did an amazing job of updating it without losing any of its sense of time and place. 

Power of the Dog is a slow burn and not what you think it is. I've seen it twice and picked up a lot more the 2nd time. Not a "fun", popcorn movie but very, very good and I won't be surprised if it wins Best Picture.

All four movies are just really great to look at. Incredible cinematography.

King Richard was okay. It's a certain type of movie that I enjoy watching because of the story but it's not great filmmaking IMO.

REALLY looking forward to Dune and Licorice Pizza. Not sure about Don't Look Up. Don't know anything about CODA or Drive My Car.

Nightmare Alley put me to sleep. Trailer and the actual product didn’t align.

I never watched the trailer. 

It definitely takes its time getting going. And I doubt it translates as well to the small screen as a lot of movies. I made sure to see that one in the theatre. I always try to see del Toro's movies in the theatre.
