Today's film...
"This is your mission should you choose to accept it"
Mission Impossible - 1996
Fun fun fun!
So silly, and very entertaining, so many classic tropes over-egged to the point of absurdity, yet itstill all holds together as quite a story!!!!
And everyone knows the theme tune right?
"This post will self destruct in five seconds"

Ended up pulling a double feature tonight just about done with Enforcement.
Will be watching the Entity later on after some ice cream!

Watched this last year and was pleasantly surprised because of the mixed reviews, but I love pretty much everything Aronofsky does, save for his big "mainstream" hit, 'Black Swan', which was a total let-down...:

Watching Star Trek: Beyond. 3rd film in the alternative Star Trek universe. I saw it when it first came out (2016), but it is as if I've never seen it. God, I must have been stoned. I slightly remember the female alien who helps the Chief Engineer, Scotty.
Yes, I sort of remember now. Memory is weird that way.

Today's film is on another completely different tangent...
Everest - 2015
A tragic story of how badly everything can go wrong when a brutal storm hits during a summit attempt. Visually stunning and an alarmingly accurate representation of how things really can change so fast at these altitudes.

It was pretty good, iirc.... a bit melodramatic but about what I'd expect from a big budget "Hollywood" type flick... but if you haven't yet seen it, and wanna stay on the same track, but this time with a documentary (that will forever give me "the willies" every time I think about it!), I highly recommend this from 2018:
Free Solo -Official UK Trailer

Oh yes, I have seen this, it's a fantastic story. Excellent recommendation
...and those moves... damn... utterly insane!! I was one of those who was absolutely totally freaked out watching him; can't watch, can't not watch!! One of the very few films to ever really have me actually on the edge of my seat! Amazing!!
Crazy? Or maybe not? I mean we all have to go right, what's better; sitting on yer ass and slowly rotting away, or dying while doing the thing you love?

I'm just not "driven" by anything to such a degree... Crazy? Reckless? SELFISH/self-centered...? FRIGGIN NUTZ...?! Call it what you will, you gotta at least respect that force one can possess...
Ok then, I'll give you another one, but this time a little more "mainstream" but one I love regardless (and another one you probably have already seen):
Adaptation (2002) Trailer
or this from around the same time (good year for film, '02!):
Punch-Drunk Love Trailer
(if I have to do a 3rd/4th try it will be waaaay more obscure, trust me....)

Yes, absolutely totally unbelievably impressive - literally superhuman!
Haha, good tries, I don't think I have seen Adaptation as it happens, I'll add it to the list, thanks - not today though!
I have seen Punch-Drunk Love though and yes it is excellent!
Adam Sandler is not someone I would normally watch, but I thought he was fantastic in this, I can imagine a lot of people were erm... confused by his role here hehe
Actually, given me an idea for the next film to watch... maybe!

FlyingLow
Team NO SLEEP!
Jon Krakauer is the biggest piece of shit in the climbing world. Fucking cunt... he literally diaries all of the mistakes made by his team the entire way up, and does not have a sack of balls big enough to speak up and make any difference. He is NOT a climber I'd ever want on my rope, the fucker would literally watch you die and journal about it in the evening.
I am sure he was a complete piece of shit before 1996, but from that point on, he lost all respect- but Hollywood loves a prick.
in better news, I watched Clockwork Orange for the first time last night. Highly recommended for anyone under 40 who might have missed this growing up...

I just had to check which 'character' that was, gut feeling, and based on your comments, I thought it was the journalist! What is it about some journalists that the one thing that matters above all else, even human life, is the story.
Anyway, I forgot to post last night's 'Today's Film' and it was another tangent, this time into a rather unusual and I thought quite compelling story of a virtual reality battle simulation game where you can actually die in the real world. Visually stunning - extremely stylised, awesome sound effects, well worth a watch if you like alternative 'philosophical' films, oh and it's in Polish language with subtitles, although I believe there's a Japanese version too.
Avalon - 2001
The trailers on YT were all poor quality so this feature on the tanks will do instead and will give a decent flavour of the stylistic conventions used:

Interesting, Kel!
Full disclosure: didn't watch either of these tonight. But here are a couple gems. First is in my top 5 all time films from Spain, the second perhaps my favorite film all time from Argentina.
(Saw A Colckwork Orange when I was in college. I won't be watching it tonight or ever again!)

I'll join the late posting club!
Last night's film was The Protege.
Fun little action flick but much the same of what's pumping out of the wood.

Last night's today's film was
Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark - 1981
While I appreciate this is just a yarn, meant to be light hearted and fun action adventure, I kinda struggled with it last night, maybe I was just in the wrong mood or something, but I set out with an "oh yeah, that's fun" thought and ended up hardly paying any attention.
The thing that I kept noticing, which I don't remember before, was just how bad some of the acting is - wow
Also, the underlying cultural implications that form the basis of these films are really quite inappropriate in 2021, more than once I felt they have dated badly.
Shrugs... not bothered about watching the rest, I fear that they others may well be worse.
