Maximilian Overdraft, Esq. ES<p>Having watched three episodes of Black Mirror, I'm now watching Coda (2019), directed by Claude Lalonde, starring Patrick Stewart, Katie Holmes, and Giancarlo Esposito. A classical pianist develops stagefright and needs (checks notes) an inappropriately young woman to (checks notes) give him the support he needs to finish on a high note.

Maximilian Overdraft, Esq. ES<p>King Solomon's Mines (1950) is every bit the film I remember it to be. I love a film set in Africa, with wildlife and native peoples, however contrived the story and how thin the characters.

Maximilian Overdraft, Esq. ES<p>Three movies on tap.

ES<p>Another Sunday with the olds now past.</p><p>Onwards to The Danish Girl (2015), directed by Tom Hooper, starring Eddie Redmayne, Alicia Vikander, Sebastian Koch, Ben Whishaw, Amber Heard, and Matthias Schoenaerts. It's a "loose" period biopic about gender.

Currently watching Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973), directed by J. Lee Thompson, starring Roddy McDowall, Claude Akins, Natalie Trundy, Severn Darden, Lew Ayres, Paul Williams, and John Huston. This is the 5th in the original series of Apes films.

Next up, The Last Winter (2006), billed as a horror movie, directed by Larry Fessenden, starring Ron Perlman, Pato Hoffmann, James LeGros, and Connie Britton.

Last up I think is Zhou Yu's Train (2002), a Chinese love story directed by Sun Zhou, starring Gong Li, Tony Leung Ka-Fai and Sun Honglei.

I'm watching Mister Lonely (2007), directed by Harmony Korine, starring Diego Luna, Samantha Morton, Denis Lavant, Werner Herzog, James Fox, Anita Pallenberg and Leos Carax. It's kind of one of those movies. You know, about celebrity impersonators in Paris? One of those.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mister_L

After that, The Peanut Butter Falcon (2019), directed by Tyler Nilson and Michael Schwartz, starring Zack Gottsagen, Shia LaBeouf, Dakota Johnson, John Hawkes, and Thomas Haden Church. I don't know if I can describe it better than Wikipedia.

It's a Thursday, it's cool, and I have a pizza in the oven.

Meanwhile, I'm starting Broken Diamonds (2021), directed by Peter Sattler, starring Ben Platt, Lola Kirke, Yvette Nicole Brown, Alphonso McAuley, and Lynda Boyd. None of whom I've heard of. It's an indie, my peeps.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_D

After that, 40 Days and 40 Nights (2002), directed by Michael Lehmann, starring Josh Hartnett, Shannyn Sossamon, and Paulo Costanzo. It's a rom com. About attempted celibacy.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/40_Days_

And finally, if I have the time and juice for it, 24 Frames (2017), directed by Abbas Kiarostami, an experimental Iranian film that Janus and Criterion released after the director's death.

Just got back from a walk with my friend, after work.

Currently beginning to watch Mid-Century (2022), directed by Sonja O'Hara, starring Bruce Dern, Stephen Lang and Shane West, a thriller of sorts. I dunno.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Cent

After that, I plan to watch The Rest of Us (2019), directed by Aisling Chin-Lee, starring Heather Graham, Jodi Balfour, Sophie Nélisse and Abigail Pniowsky. It's a found family drama.

OK, just a few words about these films.

No Sudden Move, I just didn't engage with it very well. I blame myself.

I didn't finish The Foot Fist Way. McBride plays a narcissist, and darn it, I just don't want to see that type of character in my fiction, since we're getting so much of it in reality.

I'm enjoying Let Them All Talk. These actresses are so complex, and their characters are also complex. The benefits of age and experience. I understand this one was mostly improvised, and it did add a lot of verite to this cinema.

Tonight, I'm trying for three films.

No Sudden Move (2021), directed by Steven Soderbergh, with an all star cast including Don Cheadle, Benicio del Toro, David Harbour, Jon Hamm, Amy Seimetz, Brendan Fraser, Kieran Culkin, Noah Jupe, Craig Grant (in his final appearance), Julia Fox, Frankie Shaw, Ray Liotta, and Bill Duke. It's a period crime thriller.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Sudde

The Foot Fist Way (2008), directed by Jody Hill, starring Danny McBride. It's a black comedy.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Foot

Let Them All Talk (2021), directed again by Steven Soderbergh, starring Meryl Streep, Dianne Wiest, Candice Bergen, Lucas Hedges, and Gemma Chan. It's a comedy that starts on the Queen Mary.
