🎬 The King of Staten Island

Movie poster for “The King of Staten Island”.

This was great! Super funny. But also serious and sad.

Great dialogues, and great characters. There also was often this suspense in many scenes where you wouldn’t know what would happen next.

🎬 Dawn of the Dead

Movie poster for “Dawn of the Dead”.

I found the full uncut version DVD on a flea market recently. I don’t think I have seen this version before. And to be honest, I actually don’t care very much about that sort of thing. I just thought it would be nice to rewatch this again after 20 years or so.

I still appreciate this movie for its original story and style that influenced so many Zombie movies after it. Basically, every season of “The Walking Dead” works like this movie. Minus the humour. And that’s another aspect I like about this film.

But man, this was looong! And the sound was bad. The Zombie-makeup was just comical, too. And it’s sexist.

Anyhow, I still enjoyed watching this classic again. I just wouldn’t recommend to watch this full uncut version.

🎧 The Dead Eye – The Haunted

Been listening to a bit of The Haunted lately. Mainly the “The Dead Eye” record. Just some beautiful guitar work on this one. And great vocals (as is normal for Dolving). Plus, I sometimes need a bit of Per Møller Jensen’s drumming.

🎬 1BR

Movie poster for “1BR”.

Not super-logical. Was ok, with a few good scenes. But not really recommended.

🎬 Rope

Movie poster for “Rope”.

I like movies that play in a single room – like a play at a theatre. It’s a pretty morbid play. And pretty clever. Reminded me of Columbo at times. Bonus points for making it look like a one-shot movie. Thumbs up!

🎬 Blade Runner 2049

Movie poster for “Blade Runner 2049”.

A rewatch. First time was in the cinema, where this movie is much more impressive of course. But I liked it a second time on the TV, too.

Convincing story. Amazing futuristic and dystopian world. Probably would watch a third time at some point.

🎬 The Thing

Movie poster for “The Thing”.

One more horror classic. One more great film!

Reminded me of Alien in a few ways.

Great special effects. Great set. Great story. Great acting.

🎬 About Endlessness

Movie poster for “About Endlessness”.

My second Roy Andersson movie.

He has a unique style. And I think I still need to get used to it. Nevertheless, this was entertaining with it’s dry humor. I probably didn’t fully “get” this film, though.

🎬 Rosemary’s Baby

Movie poster for “Rosemary’s Baby”.

Another classic – from 1968! – I’ve never seen before. It’s deservedly highly respected! This must have inspired so many horror-movies after it. I can’t recall an earlier (horror) movie with that “secret backdoor” element, the “nosy neighbour cliché”, the “is the protagonist going crazy or is she right?”-storyline, or that “look through the door spy”-shot. And there are probably even more firsts in there.

Hail chocolate mouse! Hail Satan! Hail Rosemary’s Baby!

http://songexploder.net/jewel

17:58

Jewel is a singer-songwriter from Homer, Alaska, who’s received four Grammy nominations and sold over 30 million albums worldwide. Her debut album, Pieces of You, came out in 1995, and a 25th anniversary edition was released in November 2020. That album contains the hit song "You Were Meant for Me," but it turns out it wasn’t a runaway success—not at first. In this episode, Jewel traces the history of making “You Were Meant For Me,” starting with the demo, and moving through all the different versions that were made along the way.
