Midway (2019) - ★★☆☆☆


This movie has Nick Jonas in it. I did not know this movie had Nick Jonas until about halfway through, which I believe is more an indictment of how interesting this movie was than it is of my ability to notice Nick Jonas, which I actually think is probably above average (even when he's disguising his voice in what can only be described as a 1940s accent). Make of that what you will!

The only other thing worth note here, I believe, is the absolute movie magic involved in giving Woody such a marvelous head of hair in the year 2019, by which time we all know him to have been quite bald! Kudos!!!
A better shot of the hair in question—I suppose it's also worth note that at the time I'm writing this, Woody in Midway and I BOTH have the same shade of sorority girl blonde hair <3 We're so connected!

The Thin Red Line (1998) - ★★★★☆

Today, I am reminded of a poem by Stephen Crane titled " War is Kind ." This is a pretty tricky poem to understand, because the narrator keeps repeating the phrase "war is kind" throughout the poem. But at the same time, you sort of get the feeling that war, in fact, is not kind at all. When something is so contradictory, it's easy to get lost in the weeds; one might simply assume that this Stephen Crane guy, whoever he is, does not really have a mastery of the English language. That, or maybe he wrote the poem on opposite day. I'd like to proffer another possible solution to this issue. Maybe Stephen Crane was being ironic! If you think about it, 'kind' is probably one of the last words anyone would use to describe war. Even people who think war is good probably would not call it 'kind'—killing people is not really a 'kind' activity, any more than being killed is 'nice' or 'fun.' The Thin Red Line , a movie which is n...

The Hi-Lo Country (1998) - ★★★★★

A shockingly underrated and under-talked about Woody Harrelson masterpiece. Reminsicent of the classic Marty Robbins banger, "Tall Handsome Stranger," this is a must watch for cowboy fans and Woody Harrelson fans alike. Unequivocally Woody's best cowboy role!!!!!

Edtv (1999) - ★★★☆☆

I love friendship!!!!!!! I love it when people are friends!!! Whenever I come across a new set of friends, I filled with a sense of delight so large I dare not even put it into words. The friendship that has dominated most of my summer is that of Special Agent Dale Cooper and Sheriff Harry S. Truman from David Lynch's Twin Peaks .  Harry and Coop are a perfect example of everything a good pair of friends should strive to be. They love hanging out together and enjoy doing many activities with one another, from eating donuts, to drinking coffee, to solving murders, to entering evil zones.  Harry and Coop sharing a beautiful friendship moment!!! When I sat down to watch Edtv , the last thing I expected was that I would learn of another friendship as beautiful as the one shared by Harry and Dale. But expectations be damned! That's exactly what happened. Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaaheuseygh met on the set of Edtv in 1999, and since then, they have been the best of friends, b...
