That sounds like the perfect spot to celebrate Festivus and initiate with the Airing of Grievances. Hopefully you skipped to the Feats of Strength part?
It was far more of a manic and loud airing of grievances which kept accelerating and amplifying and eventually induced a kind of blackout, or some kind of psychic block; I don’t remember much after the first 4 hours. The square footage was too small for that kind of emotional warfare. If you aren’t used to it you’re so close to it that it feels like a physical assault.

My Veteran Father or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Mock Turleneck
Spitting in Paulie Shore’s Mouth
Welp, that landed with a resounding thud. It was Ben Wheatley’s first feature about a low-rent crime family going on a mole hunt, Down Terrace. There were definitely better things to come from Wheatley, but I thought it was a decent little crime thriller-cum-kitchen sink drama from Mr. Wheatley.
New frame as soon as I find it.

Is it Mr. Deeds Goes to Town?
It is indeed Mr. Deeds! A Capra classic that totally holds up (okay, the courtroom scenes stretch credulity a little). Perfect role for Gary Cooper, too…a little dumb, seems pretty much constantly lost, but perfectly willing to slap the shit out of anyone who disrespects him. Some terrific dialog, and the marvelous Ms. Arthur! Great movie.
When the servant comes in, @MrTibbs, I’m going to ask him to show you to the door. Many people don’t know where it is.

Awesome pick, charmtrap! I definitely prefer Cooper when he’s in that aw-shucks kind of mode like Sgt York rather than his haunted later stuff.
I watched It’s a Wonderful Life with my partner on Christmas day, which she had never seen before, and we both loved it. I’m sure people who browse this thread would’ve seen it or read the book by Mark Harris, but Netflix has a brilliant series called Five Came Back that examines how five highly-regarded classical Hollywood directors were affected by their experience in World War II. It features some great discussions on Frank Capra, and is such an easy watch!

And it ain’t about the X-Men.
Ugh, I figured out why all my frames are so overexposed-looking lately…I turned up the gamma for a really dark movie I was watching and totally forgot I did it. So everything looked totally washed-out. Sorry bout that.
