Eyes Wide Shut
(1999)

Still as bad the 2nd time around
I saw this when it came out and just gave it another shot.

When I originally saw it I spent half the movie laughing at its absurdity. I got a few chuckles the second time, but it mostly consisted of shaking my head how anyone could call this garbage a masterpiece or misunderstood.

Kubrick made some really good movies and some really bad ones. When I originally saw it after wiping away the tears of laughter I knew when the reviews came out many would gush and as it is revisited there are still many that put it on a pedestal only because it is Kubrick and viewed through that prism I understand. I am probably too forgiving for some of my favorite filmmakers, but with Kubrick and especially this movie it is taken to preposterous levels. To each his own, but that is how I see it.

The Line
(2021)

A fitting partnership
I didn't really remember this case, but it was clear where it was headed. It is fitting that the five time draft dodger and the rest of the right wing echo chamber sided with the cowardly and murderous Gallagher. I say this as a veteran and former Republican. They are on the wrong side of almost everything and in the end as is the case with most everything churned out at Fox News the Gallagher case and their handling of it had nothing to do with the truth or justice and as always the projection heaped on the Seals brave enough to stand up and tell he truth is included. Well done documentary. I'm glad people got to see what happens to the truth when these outside forces get involved.
