“You look so sexy, Lisa.” (Patreon)

Oh, Haiii.

My two favorite movies, unironically, are “Casablanca,” and “The Room.” (The latter is on in the background, right now, as I’m writing this.)

I think it was the film critic of the Los Angeles Times? He remarked once that his job is to watch movies. So he watches every movie once. If he needs to, he’ll watch a movie a second time. And if he really likes it, he’ll watch it three times. “The Room?” He said he’s watched it about 100 times. He has no idea why. Is it because it’s an impossible movie to figure out? Is it just amusing, like cotton candy for the brain? Or is it, truly, and as often as the concept is employed, so absolutely bad that it is actually a masterpiece? (or, a disasterpiece?) like a non-connecting circle where the extreme ends can see each other across the canyon.

I’m not sure how many times I’ve seen either of my two favorites. The number is probably around 100. Maybe more? Maybe less? There is something so refreshing about absentmindedly typing on your phone, and chuckling a little as you recite some line with perfect timing. it’s tearing me apart, dude.

Honorable mention for “Monty Python and the Holy Grail.” And for some reason? “Minority Report.” It’s just a good, solid, perfectly paced action flick, even as lukewarm on Tom Cruise as I am.

I don’t know. Thoughts? I’ve always thought the idea of “what is your favorite movie?” as a little rudimentary. So much of it seems mood-based. But I can’t help but imagine that there are a few that float to the top. What are yours? Just curious.
