head count for tina tuesday!

Yes, that would be a grand total of six movies for the last two weeks -

and every one of them was 'free' with my AMC A*List dance card!

 

Of course, you have to read this rendition of that card in the Hebrew style.

That means from right to left, for those unfamiliar with that culture.

The bottom row began with a movie on a Friday night and was ended with a double header last Tina Tuesday.

Likewise for the top row, which began this past Friday and ended today with a double.

As I told Trey today, when he asked what I'd seen, I like my double headers to have a theme, tenuous or solid, and both of these did.

Let's look at last week's first, shall we?

"Novocaine" and "The Day The Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie" both looked like something that belonged in the days when I was a kid.

Seriously!

Doesn't that poster for the Jack Quaid action comedy hearken back to the image on the cover of the family game "Operation"?

And, just as in that game, the lead character keeps getting parts of his body poked and jabbed and nicked in the most interesting ways!

I know, that sounds like it would be gruesome, but it isn't, and that's because 'Nathan Cane' has a genuine medical malady that keeps him from feeling pain.

So, every time a body part gets a knife in it, it doesn't even faze him; he just keeps right on ticking along to rescue his lady love!

This is the second film this year that I've seen Jack Quaid in, and I found him playing a much more likable guy in this one than in "Companion".

And the mock scifi horror flick with Daffy Duck and Porky Pig would be like the "Bugs Bunny Hour" that I watch nearly every Saturday morning!

Did I say "horror" with that animated movie?

Oh, for sure I did, as it had bubblegum creatures from outer space!!!

Keep up the good work, Peter Browngardt - me and all the SCAD students that came to watch totally enjoyed it!

Yes, I enjoyed both of those films quite a lot!

Now, how about the double header today?

Well, that would pair "Black Bag" with "Disney's Snow White"... get it?

Or do I need to make the connection more black and white?

(Hey, hey, how 'bout that colorful pun? LOL!)

Before anyone asks about me having seen the CIA spy flick already, here's a reminder: I bought the ticket for the Bonus Points, but didn't have a chance to actually watch it.

I'm glad I remedied that today!!!

The story of a married couple  who are so "flagrantly monogamous" that it irks their single or philandering fellow agents was beautifully orchestrated!

I'd be down with seeing the future exploits of 'George' and 'Catherine' (played by Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett), maybe even as a TV series.

Nice to see Bill Skarsgard's older brother, Gustaf, in that movie, too.

Now, what do I have to say about the new, live-action, musical?

Well... I look forward to seeing it again!

Actually, let me rephrase that.

As I told the AMC manager when he asked, I love, love, love, "Princess Problems", which is a new song and one that nearly rivals my love of "A Place Called Slaughter Race"!!!

Yes, yes, that song - "Princess Problems" - will draw me back, with or without great-nieces!

Kudos to Andrew Brunap and Rachel Zeigler for that oh-so-lovely bit of fun!!!

My favorite line - that I, naturally, texted to my first niece - is this:

"Your princess problems don't apply to me."

HAHAHAHA!!!

Fun, fun, fun!

One last note: Wonder Woman doesn't quite pull off the Evil Queen, no more than George Clooney could be the Batman.

Both always have a sweet smile at the edge of their lips, which is not in keeping with the characters they are portraying.

Then again, perhaps that was to lighten the tone of the film?

Perhaps!

(smile!)
