We watched "Weird: The Al Yankovic Story" this weekend.

Oh, it was entertaining... but I suspect there's not a scrap of truth in it. ![Confused :?](./images/smilies/th_icon_confused1.gif)

Oh, I think that was the point. It's a parody.. his life is a parody, just like his songs.

Re: The last movie you saw Thread
That was my impression from the trailer. I was wondering why on earth would we want Weird Al's biopic, but it isn't that. It's just a comedy, and from the trailer I surmise that it is intended to be a parody of biopics.
Glass Onion looks great, but I can wait until it's on Netflix. If the sequel had Chris Evans in it, I may have been tempted.![MrGreen :D](./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)

If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

Yes, it is a parody.

It is. A different sort of mystery than the first one, but a match for its quality.Frelga wrote: Glass Onion looks great, but I can wait until it's on Netflix. If the sequel had Chris Evans in it, I may have been tempted.
I saw it with B last week. The last movie we saw together before that was the first Knives Out. It’s true we don’t go to movies very often, but that was an unusually long gap. A couple things happened to the business in between, though…
Re: The last movie you saw Thread
Knives Out was the last movie I saw in the theater. I honestly don't know what is going to tempt me back.

Re: The last movie you saw Thread
I'm actually looking forward to Avatar 2 in a couple weeks. I liked the first one a lot when it came out, and while that was probably in part because I was 15, at least that means the sequel will have nostalgia going for it in addition to any other qualities it may or may not bring.
Plus, it's James Cameron, so I expect it to be worth seeing on the biggest screen possible.

Re: The last movie you saw Thread
I will never forget those spectacular 3D effects! I had seen 3D movies before, but NOTHING like this! They were so real!
When the night has been too lonely, and the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows,
Lies the seed, that with the sun's love, in the spring becomes The Rose.

Re: The last movie you saw Thread
Yes, it's the kind of movie that I would like to see in a theater. I often say that I like the movies in my head better, and if I go to a theater it's for something full of visual effects or action.

No talk of this one in 3D?

Yes, it's in 3D. Here's a very interesting video explaining the improvements since the first Avatar movie. LOTR also gets a mention for its motion capture technology!

The last movie I saw was not Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles, but I guess maybe it should be my next. That's quite the shake-up!

I totally forgot this was a Sight & Sound poll year. Exciting to see such a shift at the top of the list!

Re: The last movie you saw Thread
I may be the last person on earth to say this, but I finally sat down and watched Princess Bride. I've seen all the memes and references, and wanted to see the source material. It was cute, and the interlayering of Grandpa Columbo's commentaries kept it grounded in the not-too-cute, but I'm not sure how it got cult status. And it sure didn't pass the Bechdel Test. So what, exactly is it, that draws people to watch it multiple times? I admit I've watched certain movies repeatedly for the pleasure of being among old friends, but this one doesn't do it for me.

Re: The last movie you saw Thread
I think it's one of those things that require a tinge of nostalgia to truly appreciate.
On a similar note, we rewatched Willow (1988). It held up better than I had expected. I wonder if the wizard fu scene in FOTR was inspired by it, along with a couple other moments. Van Kilmer valiantly tries to play Schwarzenegger. But overall, if I didn't see it while I was still a teenager, it would not captivate me now.
