In theaters: _Anna_, a few weeks ago. At home: _Terminator 2_, last night. ---

Venom or Deadpool 2 or John Wick, one of those. I think Deadpool 2 was most recent, but it was all on telly so not sure. ---

Came back to update mine: Over the past few days, I’ve watched Brian de Palma’s _Blow Out_ in fits and starts, finishing it this morning. ---

_Rocketman_, in the theater a few weeks ago. Comparing to _Bohemian Rhapsody_, which covered very similar themes, I suspect that _Rocketman_ got an R for more explicit depictions of drug use, and fouler language, including one of my favorite lines, by Elton: “I started acting like a cunt in 1975.” ---

In a theatre: no idea; other than taking my daughter to see the new Toy Story a few weeks ago, I haven’t seen a movie in a theatre in a while. At home: my wife and I just watched The Favourite. Without checking I’m not sure of the rating, but suspect it was R due to adult themes and, well, Emma Stone’s boobies. ---

\*\*I Saw The Devil \*\* - definitely an R-rated movie Gist: Immediately see this movie. It is an incredible experience and one of the best movies I have seen recently. I Saw The Devil is a movie about revenge. Oh, come on, saying that is like saying that Star Wars is about spaceships. The truth is that a movie like I Saw The Devil need to be seen to be understood. It isn’t just a movie; it’s a journey and an experience. By the time the screen goes dark and the credits come up, you find yourself…sitting there contemplating everything. Your life, what you would do if you were in this movie, why you watch things like this(ha ha). ISTD is a movie about a man getting revenge for the murder of his fiance. By revenge, we don’t mean killing or capturing the criminal. We mean capturing and abusing the criminal, only to let him go and do it again. A very simple plot for a very well acted and filmed movie. I will not forget many sequences in this movie for some time to come. There were many cringe worthy moments, but also moments of cheering and fist-pumping. It is both exhilarating and exhausting. This is definitely the kind of movie that sticks with you after you watch it. A great movie well worth the time of anyone. See it now. ---

> [@kayaker](#): > > [del]whatever[/del] Extra spaces don’t compute, apparently. Another for Bohemian Rhapsody. A mini-series probably doesn’t count, but I watched the 8-part _Das Boot_ on Hulu this week, which had language, violence, gore, sex, nudity and rape. ---

My daughters dragged my out to see Midsommar because they needed an adult. I didn’t even know it existed. I quite liked it. ---

At home, probably _BlacKkKlansman_ (released in August last year, watched in May this year). At a movie theater, God only knows. It’s been over 20 years since I saw any movie in a theater. ---

I watched the 2001 remake of _Straw Dogs_ on Netflix this weekend. In theaters…although I’ve watched several of the 2018 movies on [this list](https://www.boxofficemojo.com/yearly/chart/mpaarating.htm?yr=2018&rating=R&view=releasedate&p=.htm) of R-Rated movies that did reasonably well at the box office, I didn’t watch them in theaters, so that makes _IT_ the most recent there. ---

I only see Disney movies in cinemas these days, (i.e. incl Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar etc) so no R rated that I can recall in many a year. However I did watch _Game Night_ the other day. That’s R apparently, though I really don’t know why it was. A bit gory, in a tame way, and lots of naughty words, I guess. The US ratings system is a real mess. ---

Last I saw: _ **I, Tonya** _ for “free” in the theater of a cruise ship Last I saw in a typical theater: _ **Logan** _ Last I saw tiny bits of: After going to a soccer game with my sister over the weekend, I stopped by her house for a few minutes to say hi to my college-age niece. The niece and her boyfriend were watching _ **Rosemary’s Baby** _ and paused it while I was there. The movie was paused on a scene with the camera at the head of a bed, looking over a supine and very R-rated Rosemary at a bunch of other people who’d be borderline X-rated if they weren’t in the shadows. I’ve never seen the movie before, but a little research tells me I’m _really_ glad they didn’t hit play while I was there. ---

I went to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood last week, but I walked out after an hour and a half it was so boring. I’m guessing it still counts even though I didn’t finish it. I don’t recall the most recent prior to that. It’s been years, maybe a decade. Maybe Superbad?
