Enjoy my week of seeing movies and losing things! Like, start with the stub to Little Joe. Just not in my pocket when I got home, and I don't know that I was pulling things in and out of that pocket enough on the way home that it could have slip...

Two different bits of "catching up" this week! To start with, I finally saw Bong Joon-Ho's Parasite, which I feel like I should have caught earlier, but it's one of those that is just long enough to get scheduled at weird times. It is,...

Working from home is no fun and I'm glad I'm done with it for a while, barring snow. It does lead to some interesting scheduling like we saw at the start of the last few weeks, where I headed to the Brattle for the very nifty The Last of Sheila a...

I'm not going to lie, I'm disappointed in myself for how my moviegoing plans didn't match with my achievements this week This was the first of a couple weeks working from home because my massive employer didn't arrange things so that we'd be able...

A couple busy weeks and I fall behind like crazy. But they're fun, crazy weeks. Halloween week was a fun one because I got to bounce around a bunch of different venues for unusual shows. Monday (the 28th), for instance, Emerson's Films fr...

Hurrah for finally seeing things which everybody almost certainly would assume I've seen already! That probably doesn't include Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, which had more 3D screenings at Boston Common than I would have expected from how they'v...

You ever wind up running late for a movie, slinking home frustrated, and then feeling weirdly vindicated when you really need to go to the bathroom right smack in the middle of when the movie would be? No, me neither. Moviegoing time was also cu...

There's a part of me that wants to apologize for pages with this much white on them, but you can't treat your hobby like it's a job. I am kind of in a bad cycle of staying up too late, using too much caffeine to get through the workday and not re...

My job pays me money that I spend on movies, but on occasion gets in the way of seeing them, as when they send me to some Dallas-area parking lot with a building in the middle for the better part of a week so that I can sit in on three hours or so of...

Unless I have a weird impulse to get to the ballpark one last time, this is my last trip to Fenway of the year, and at least it's memorable. Tough to end on a more memorable game than this one, though - picked up a bobblehead, saw the grandson of...

Let us observe a brief moment of silence for MoviePass, which sputtered and hung on for far longer than was expected (or dignified). Even with the last year or so when I could almost never find a way to use it despite the regular $10/month charge ta...

You may see a lot of empty white space on these pages; I see the weekend that I finally reached the bottom of the stack of comics that's been growing since I went to London for vacation. (And, good gravy, is DC a disaster right now. It seems lik...

The end of summer comes to the movies with a whimper every year, but I kind of don't mind this year. I was kind of movied-out and the profile of these last two weeks shows it. Both weeks started out with film noir double features at the Bratt...

The next time someone talks about superhero movie fatigue, remind them that the Brattle was able to program a whole series of films noirs celebrating their 75th anniversary this summer, and I don't know how many people were talking about "murder...
