The Naked Gun, 2025 - ★★★★½
Watched on Sunday August 10, 2025.
Watched Starship Troopers again, for the first time in many years. I still like it a lot…
MEGAN 2.0 (2025) - Deviated from a horror movie to an action movie.
28 Years Later (2025) - 28YL (2025) is to 28DL (2000) like how Cloverfield Paradox (2018) is to Cloverfield (2008).
War of the Worlds (2025) - I like the modern reinvention of the nature of the aliens and their weakness.
House of Sayuri (2024) - Chilling haunted house premise takes a sharp, bizarre turn into a comedic revenge thriller.
Much to my delight, MY LAST MARTINI is really taking off! You can keep up with the film at #Letterboxd https://tinyurl.com/utt763hy

To follow up on my post from three weeks ago...I still don't think the #LetterboxdFriday hashtag has a distinct purpose. It usually trespasses upon the #LastFourWatched hashtag.
So my novel use for it today is to publicize one of my finest Letterboxd lists, named "Apt and succinct quotes from Letterboxd reviewers":
• It includes 500 movies and 500 quotes from fellow community members.
• It provides more than 500 links to content from those members.
• 10 years in the making!
Hope you enjoy.
Who do you believe has the best movie review quotes on the list? I'm partial to tectactoe a.k.a. Tony (tectactoe). Note that they're in alphabetical order, to some extent—see the directory at the top of the list.

Have you seen One Cut of the Dead? The Japanese original, not the French remake? It's a little overlong, but the post credits scenes makes it worth it. Don't jump ahead.
July was a massive month for movies! I've finally put my thoughts down for Fantastic Four, the new Jurassic World, and Superman. You can read all my reviews over on Letterboxd! Let me know what you thought of them.

Quick reminder that I am constantly putting out some of my best writing over on my Letterboxd!
Next time someone asks me what #Letterboxd is, I'm going to tell them it's a perfectly normal site where people who are definitely neurotypical can publish lists of the last 48 double features they have watched, in chronological order, while giving each one a jokey little nickname.
Changes in my #Letterboxd Favorite films list!

And again, speaking of #movies I just remembered I have a #Letterboxd account that I never update for some reason, I definitely should. If you are on Letterboxd let your username and I'll give you a follow, I'm thinking of watching a bunch of people's favorite movies and sharing my thoughts on them just because.
