Can’t believe we hadn’t done that one.
Good luck

I mean, I would’ve felt foolish if I didn’t at least try that.
Probably a gem heist movie, but I have no idea which one.
I recently watched The Counselor and that was the movie where I first took notice of that particular device, so I want to say The Counselor, but The Counselor has been done before.
Ocean’s Eight!
Damn, Crispy with the 3-pointer from waaaaay downtown. So deep that even Steph Curry is saying, daaaaamn.
Yes, Oceans 8. A disappointing Oceans movie not because of the female cast, which I loved, but because the writers have no idea how to write a heist movie. Everything is way too easy, and even when there is the inevitable oh-god-we-didn’t-plan-for-this moment that threatens to actually put some danger in the plot, it is literally handwaved away a minute or two later with dialogue (“I got my sister’s hacker friends to fix it!”).
All style, little substance. Alas.

I really only posted because I wanted to guess The Counselor until I saw it had been done. Ocean’s Eight was Iguodala catching the ball beyond the arc, and he’s wide open, but he doesn’t want to take the shot, he’s desperate to find someone to pass it to, but no one’s open, so he YOLOs a shot. And every once in a while it goes in.
Which is to say I wasn’t actually expecting to win, so new screens tonight or tomorrow.
I agree completely with the assessment of Ocean’s Eight. What a waste of a great cast. The writing credits should end with “story by” because they never got past the initial idea of Ocean’s But Women. I did like Anne Hathaway doing what I interpreted as a caricature of herself from a time when the public seemed weary of her. A Taylor Swift in the “Blank Space” music video, if you will.
Sometimes I have no idea what you’re talking about even when I know what you’re saying.

The new 2020 is not about basketball, but it should be a layup:
Wild At Heart, of course. Unless there’s another Nic Cage crooning in a snakeskin jacket movie, which, to be fair, is entirely plausible.
He makes this look easy.
That is, of course, Nicolas Cage and his snakeskin jacket that symbolizes his individuality and belief in personal freedom. It depends on the day of the week whether this movie or Blue Velvet is my second favorite David Lynch movie after Mulholland Drive. You’re welcome in advance for any Laura Dern cheesecake you might find in these shots.

@Ginger_Yellow has the rock!
I may have to call a 24 hour time out.
