Today is that holiday thingie – like the hundred and fifty-somethingth anniversary of Oregon’s admission to the union. Or whatever. You feel like watching a movie. Which one? I feel like watching _Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind_. ---

The Princess Bride - of course I can watch this anytime. 🆒 “Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.” Westley: Give us the gate key. Guard: I have no gate key. Inigo Montoya: Fezzik, tear his arms off. Guard: Oh, you mean _this_ gate key. “As you wish” ---

I am always in the mood for The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. 'Cause it’s the best film ever made. Or at least the best film ever made without any women in it. ---

Right now I could go for a screening of _Sideways_…with the commentary track turned on. Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church may have had a glass or two before recording the commentary track and they are hilarious. ---

I’m in the mood for a Humphrey Bogart movie. I’ll take _The Big Sleep_, thanks. ---

I could see _Hobson’s Choice_ again. I love Charles Laughton in it, but he’s actually upstaged by Brenda De Banzie and John Mills. And wasn’t too happy about it, if what I read is true. ---

Tried to get in to see **Resident Evil: The Final Chapter** but two weeks after release its barely playing - one or two shows a night at the multiplex. ---

_RoboCop._ I’ve been watching a few scenes that they have on YouTube. ---

Got a new, bigger TV\* the other day. Did some test stuff on it. Have _Lost in Translation_ on the DVR so I played a bit of that. Yeah. Gotta watch that all the way thru now. But I have to debug the connection to the stereo first. - I almost typed in “flat panel TV” there. Could be worse, I could have started typing “flat screen”. ---

> [@Sefton](#): > > I’m in the mood for a Humphrey Bogart movie. I’ll take _The Big Sleep_, thanks. Just saw _To Have And Have Not_ for the first time, and really liked it. I was thinking not long ago that it was time to see _The Martian_ and _The Hunt for Red October_ again, and, since I’m listening to the audiobook, _All the King’s Men_ (the Broderick Crawford original) for the first time. ---

**All the President’s Men** is one I can watch at any time and still find myself fascinated. Just watched it a few weeks ago, in fact. Cue it up! mmm ---

But I have to debug the connection to the stereo first. Good movie. Not quite a comedy, not really a drama and not a romance, as such. Kind of a poem-painting thingy – a bit like how _Under Milk Wood_ is. But, livelier. ---

I’m in the mood for\* Meet Me in St. Louis\*. Unfortunately Netflix never got my last disc returned after I mailed it, but I’m a patient man. It’s my favorite musical film and I’m getting eager. ---

Oh, my favorite musical (not being much of a fan of musicals) has to be the one where Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood _sing_. I mean, a Mormon woman with two husbands, how can you beat that? ---

I’m always in the mood for a new movie. Right at the moment, I’m in the mood for [Toni Erdmann](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4048272/?ref_=nv_sr_2). It’s a German comedy (I know! Right?), and Best Foreign Film Oscar nominee.
