Henry Fonda’s character pretty much sums up the FOTUS and a shit ton of people around him.

Joe Cantwell: I don’t understand you.
William Russell: I know you don't. Because you have no sense of responsibility towards anyone or anything. And that is a tragedy in a man, and a disaster in a president. - Cliff Robertson as presidential candidate Joe Cantwell and Henry Fonda as presidential candidate William Russell in “The Best Man,” 1964

Sometimes, when I hear about the stupid bullshit the FOTUS spews about Canada like that country’s never been there to help the U.S. I tend to think about one of the best entrances by a military unit in a movie. Anyone who knows anything about the history of the Canadian Army knows why “Scotland The Brave” is played here.

I just watched Don't Worry Darling and my husband fell asleep before it was over.

It had an interesting premise but didn't quite stick the landing.

It's not a movie I'd recommend but it's also not one I would flag people away from. There are better and there are worse out there. 6/10

It would definitely be a prime candidate for my "acceptable to make a remake of" list. The qualifications are:
Good bones
Mishandled execution of the original
Cannot be a cult classic

Also, we could fix the egg foley wrongness. Not sure when I became a foley snob but that's the world we're living in now I guess.

I find myself developing a passion for these old Hollywood movies. There's an earnestness and a passion that fills my cup. Thinking and learning about how the films were made is an additional and worthwhile benefit - a lot has been written and said about them.

My ★★★½ review of Spartacus on Letterboxd boxd.it/9sduyn

boxd.itA ★★★½ review of Spartacus (1960)A certified, classic Hollywood banger. The whole cast is great but Laurence Olivier bestrides the film like a Titan and plays Crassus with subtlety, believability and passion. The film making is less Kubrick and more supremely competent - handling 1000s of extras, political machinations and tender individual moments with aplomb. Special shout out to the former slave woman who attacks her former master with gusto in the foreground of a wide shot as Spartacus and did army liberated another town. Fantastic.
