Philadelphia Story is fun and I can't wait for the B&N Criterion sale this summer so I can pick up the blu. On the other hand, I'm still fond of The Birds so my opinion might not represent the group. The effects are dated but the suspense still works for me.

Yesterday's X-Files viewing:

3.17 “Pusher” Cerulean blue is so peaceful and tranquil. I love this episode. Modell is such a cool antagonist and Wisden played him with such arrogant detachment that it works. Roger Cross makes another appearance and Skinner gets his butt kicked by a poor assistant.

3.18 “Teso dos Bichos” I have achieved a first for my re-watch: an episode that literally put me to sleep. I got ten minutes into the episode and had take a nap. I wasn’t tired before the episode started but it was just that boring. I remember this episode though I didn’t remember all the rats. I don’t remember being that bored by the episode in previous viewings but this time everything about the episode seemed tedious. I did like the exchange about the dog eating the cat who ate the rat. I don’t want to take sides in the disagreement of the episode but jacking a culture’s sacred dead against their permission is a dick thing to do. I’m not saying the victims bought this on themselves but hopefully others will think twice before jacking people’s remains. There were some angry looking cats in this episode too.

3.19 “Hell Money” Hi B.D. Wong who I have always adored and who is aging very well. So is Lucy Liu who is wearing sickly makeup in this episode and still looks good. The dynamic duo take a case in Chinatown, San Francisco involving the selling of body parts. They are shocked, shocked I say that the residents aren’t all that eager to talk to them. Immigrant communities and communities of color don’t always have the best relationship with law enforcement. The fact that Scully and Mulder take out their frustration on Wong’s character illustrates that maybe they could use a history lesson. This episode is also a cautionary tale about not proving universal health care.

3.20 “Jose Chung’s From Outer Space” I will admit that when this episode originally aired, I hated it. I thought it was way too over the top. On subsequent viewings, I understand what they were going for and I enjoy it. The bleeping lieutenant is awesome, Charles Nelson Reilly is hilarious, and I never in one million years would have guessed that Alex Trebek would appear in an episode. The Space: Above and Beyond shout-out was cool (I miss that show and I hate how it ended) and the high-pitched yelp Mulder lets out is classic. I have to see if I can get that as a ringtone (found it).

Sometimes Xbox One has better streaming deals than the Roku versions. The Fight Network is one example. While it is $2.99 a month on Roku, on Xbox once you pay the 2.99 to get it from the Xbox store, it is yours for life. I’ve watched two things just now on there. First was a replay of TNA Slammiversary Seven , and then I followed with an episode of Retrospective, starring Gail Kim, in which she talked about her wrestling career.

Cleopatra deserved the win. IMHO it still looks impressive. I've often wondered if The Birds was nominated so there'd be more than one film in contention.

I enjoy Bringing up Baby but have always found it rather silly and implausible, especially the "tamed" leopard bits. It also drags several times. My overall liking of the movie is mostly due to the presence of Cary Grant.

You could always watch the remake: High Society (1956) starring Grace Kelly, Frank Sinatra, and Bing Crosby.

One of my favorite movies. I think Hepburn's performance is one of the greatest of all time (although I find some of her other performances hard to watch because her acting is often excessively mannered). She gives the impression here that the words come out of her mouth without more than a moment's thought, which seems like it must be much harder than she makes it look. I always feel Grant tends to play the straight man too broadly (here and in Arsenic and Old Lace), but it works, so I'm probably wrong. Charlie Ruggles is great, too.

You should give it another try later. The key to Susan, for me, is that she knows what she wants, but she goes after it in an elliptical way, so that David never knows what hit him until he is caught.

Different people find different things funny, of course.

A few short comments on my viewing so far:

A Portrait of Ga is Margaret Tait's brief look at her mother's daily life in the Orkney Islands.

Blight is a surprisingly affecting movie about a London neighborhood destroyed for the building of a highway, beautiful music by Jocelyn Pook.

Le Silence de Lorna was the movie that I had planned to begin the challenge with. The Dardenne brothers often make movies about ordinary people in difficult situations trying to do the right thing rather than the easiest thing.

Brother, Uncle and Cousin are three quick, funny animated portraits of director Adam Elliot's dysfunctional, endearing relatives. Mary and Max is about friendship between pen pals, a young girl in Melbourne and a middle-aged man in New York, who correspond for decades, making each other's isolation more bearable.

Strangers is a story of a romance between an Israeli and a Palestinian who accidentally meet during the 2006 World Cup in Berlin, whose only chance to be together beyond this brief interlude is to be willing to give up their ties to their families and communities.

India Cabaret is a documentary about strippers and the hypocrisy of men who patronize them while expecting their wives to conform to traditional sex roles.

City of Men: Can't Screw Up Twice is an episode in the adventures of two teenage boys in a favela of Rio de Janeiro, trying to survive poverty and crime while figuring out their sexuality and futures.

La Désenchantée follows Parisienne as she navigates difficult choices following graduation from high school.

Prica Jednog Dana is a city symphony of Belgrade shortly before the German bombing and invasion in 1941, remarkably light-hearted considering the times.

Captain Abu Raed is a story of an airport janitor in Amman who tells stories of the world to the poor children of his neighborhood, hoping to inspire them to try to strive for more meaningful lives than their presumptive destinies, who then decides that he must intervene more directly.

I Am a Girl is a documentary about a transsexual girl in her early teens. If this was in America, it could be about strangers becoming upset that she doesn't use the boy's restroom, but since it's the Netherlands, it's about clothes, makeup, friends, a possible boyfriend and her hopes and plans for the future.

Ma'loul Celebrates Its Destruction is a documentary about the former residents of an Arab village in Israel, driven from their village by the government during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, who return once a year, refusing to accept the loss of their home.

Coincidentally, my wife chose a Jimmy Stewart film for my digibook selection, Mr Smith Goes to Washington. Pretty sure I’ve never seen it, but also pretty sure I’ve never seen a Jimmy Stewart movie I didn’t love. He’s a national treasure!

Even if I don't like a movie he's in I always enjoy Stewart's performance. He's a favorite. Mr Smith Goes to Washington is one I really like.

I might give it another try, but probably not for a while. Maybe if I'm in a different mood it'll become palatable...maybe!

I keep on going past this one in the list but because of Stewart in the lead role, I keep on scrolling by. It's also on my list of movies to watch at some point, but I don't think it'll be this month!

The end of Season 3:

3.21 “Avatar” Skinner celebrates his impending divorce having a few drinks and sleeping with a sex worker, played by the wonderful Amanda Tapping. Unfortunately, she ends up dead. Turns out Skinner’s suffering from a sleep disorder and there’s a succubus involved. She saved him in Vietnam and helps him clear himself of the charges.

3.22 “Quagmire” So a lake monster kills Scully’s dog and a few people as well. Some idiot licks a frog trying to get high and the whole episode feels like a homage to Jaws. Turns out that the culprit was a really big alligator.

3.23 “Wetwired” Mulder has a new source due to Steven Williams’ limited availability and Colin Cunningham makes another appearance. Subliminal messages in electronics, I swear we’ve seen this episode before. In “Blood” it’s Mulder who is mildly affected, but here, Scully is having paranoid delusions of Mulder selling her out. The perpetrators were watching a ton of VHS tapes which brings back so many memories. Turns out the cable company is trying to kill us, all 57 channels of it (both a shout out to Springsteen and an indication of how far cable has come in 20 years). Mulder is red/green color blind too.

3.24 “Talitha Cumi” This episode is mostly set up. We have another alien clone and this one is going around healing people. CSM wants him dead. We learn that Mrs. Mulder may have had an affair with CSM. I didn’t remember this being hinted at so early in the series. Mrs. Mulder goes on to have a stroke. We learn that alien colonization is the end goal and that the date has been set.

Catching up with more short comments:

Tormento is a well made Italian melodrama with a depressing view of the status of women in the era immediately after World War II, apparently an unfortunately accurate depiction.

Never Like the First Time! is an animated movie in which people talk about their first sexual experiences.

Tell Your Children draws parallels between the Holocaust and the current rise of fascism in Europe (it's not limited to that continent, of course).

Porno is about young teens, with an alienated boy trying to figure out how he feels about an apparently promiscuous new girl.

Kick 'n' Rush seems to have been sold as an American style teen sex comedy, but is really a teen romance about growing up and making the right choices.

I Don't Want to Be a Man is an early Lubitsch comedy about a tomboy who tries masquerading as a man to break free of her family's control.

Dark Blue Almost Black involves an underemployed young professional who is unsure whether he should pursue a serious romantic relationship with his longtime friend, while being pushed into a strange relationship by his convict brother. Unusual concept, and ultimately unconvincing.

Arab Labor: The Car and Arab Labor: The Sheep are episodes of a Israeli sitcom about an Arab journalist and his family and co-workers that has a lot of fun satirizing Arab and Jewish stereotypes.

The Oyster Princess is an early Lubitsch comedy about a spoiled American heiress who decides that she wants to marry a German prince. He needs the money but isn't sure about the wife, so he sends his valet for a test run. Very funny.

Baba Despina shows the filmmakers' grandmother spinning thread (imdb lists the country of origin for this movie as Macedonia, although it was part of the Ottoman Empire at the time).

Dismissal from Mass in Ljutomer, Fair at Ljutomer, and In the Family Garden are three brief views of life in Ljutomer, a town in Slovenia (part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the time, but imdb lists the country of origin for these movies as Slovenia).

Paradise is a look at rural life in Kazakhstan.

Sidewalls explores the relationship between the architecture of Buenos Aires and the prospects of young professionals for making romantic connections.

I freely admit I'm in #TeamJimmy.

One of the few movies in my Tarantino challenge that I hadn't seen is Four Rooms, but I figured I should include it. It's kind of all over the place as expected, and while it had some moments, it didn't really do much for me. Glad to check it off, though.

I decided to try Jaws tonight. I'm not usually a "horror" movie fan, but this is such a classic, I've wanted to watch it just to get it off my list.

I have to admit while I'll never love the genre, this movie was very watchable for me. Maybe it's because I've heard the iconic music often enough that the jump scares were too obvious? I did jump once when Bruce popped up, but the others were fairly tame.

I hope some people would get eaten that weren't, which probably wasn't what Spielberg was hoping for.

It definitely made up for the last one, Bringing Up Baby, so that's good! lol!

Re: The Ninth Annual May Make-Your-Own Challenge *Discussion Thread* May 1-31, 2018

Jaws is one of my all-time favorite films and I am not a person who watches horror films.

Started season 4:

4.1 “Herrenvolk” Thompson is chasing everyone and Mulder thinks he kills him so he leaves Scully alone to follow Smith. That was such a dick move: he didn’t know if Thompson was dead, hell, he didn’t even know if Scully okay after being chased all over a warehouse, he just bounced Jeremiah Smith shows Mulder the clones of his sister and some random male child and we see the first instance of the bees that become such a big part of the story. Mulder wants Smith to heal his mom but Thompson is determined to kill Smith. He beats the leaving daylights out of Mulder and Smith runs away. Unfortunately, Mr. X isn’t so lucky as he’s shot as he leaves Mulder’s apartment. Working with the dynamic duo drastically reduces one’s life expectancy. X manages to leave SRSG scrolled in blood on the floor. We learn that it stands for Special Representative to the Secretary General of the UN and we meet a woman named Covarrubias who says: “not everything dies.” In a twist I didn’t see coming, CSM gets Thompson to heal Mrs. Mulder because Agt Mulder is important to the equation and a man with nothing left to lose can’t be predicted or controlled. The look on CSM’s face when Mrs. Mulder wakes up says that was not the only reason he had for his actions.

4.2 “Home” probably the most controversial episode of the series until season 11. The first episode with TV-MA rating and the only episode FOX never re-ran. It’s the first episode Morgan and Wong wrote after coming back from Space:AAB. We see Mulder’s love of baseball for the first time here (he mentions playing outfield as a child before though). Tucker Smallwood plays Sheriff Andy Taylor, I love Tucker Smallwood. This episode also features Sebastian Spence who I also adore. Neither one of their characters meets a good end. This episode is disturbing on so many different levels that I don’t even know where to begin. Oh, I know, let’s start with the cold open where an infant is buried alive. Then there’s the incest. Then after Mulder and Scully enter a house without probable cause and start poking around, the Peacock’s retaliate by killing the sheriff and his wife. I muted the TV during this scene. The decapitation scene was at least faster. Then there is mom. If you like horror movies, you’ll love this episode. If you don’t, and I don’t, you’ll admit it’s a good episode and not want to watch it anymore

4.3 “Teliko” Two episodes in a row featuring black actors, woo hoo. Carl Lumbly graces my TV screen here as black men are going missing and turning up dead, without melanin. Turns out some guy without a pituitary gland and Tooms-like contortionist ability needs to steal melanin. It’s not a good episode but it has a diverse supporting cast.

4.4 “Unruhe” Here’s our serial killer who speaks German and can influence photography psychicly. I like the way the manipulated pictures looked. Dude shoves ice picks into women’s eyes to lobotomize them and kills men with an ice pick into the ear. How rude. There’s a theory online that this episode foreshadows Scully’s cancer since Schnauz points to the location as the source of her pain. It’s possible.

I don't know about comedy, but adventure and drama would work. There are definitely jump scares though compared to more modern horror films, it barely qualifies. But, I also think that's why I liked it! It's more on the thriller end of horror than anything.

Um, no, Bringing Up Baby was awful...yick! To each their own, I guess!

I am not someone who watches them either. I will watch more thriller/who-dun-its willingly, but horror just is not a genre I like. I have found the older the "horror" movie, the more likely it is that I will enjoy it.

Re: The Ninth Annual May Make-Your-Own Challenge *Discussion Thread* May 1-31, 2018

I asked how Krycek got out of his cell, I got my answer yesterday:

4.5 “The Field Where I Died” has a really good story and some solid acting though it’s a bit slow in parts. I figured it was only a matter of time before past lives made it into an episode. The fact that the FBI never found the guns before everything went all Jamestown meant that a whole lot of folks must have lost their jobs. In most episode Mulder is advocating for the victims but here, as Scully points out, he doesn’t care about Melissa’s well-being; he’s only interested in her past lives. Another Space: AAB alum makes an appearance too.

4.6 “Sanguinarium” I remember this s the plastic surgery episode but I forgot how graphic and bloody this episode was. I had just shaken off “Home” and now this. Gross.

4.7 “Musing of a Cigarette Smoking Man” I am pretty sure that none of the events in this episode really constitute CSM’s backstory but it is interesting to see how much of a boogieman the writers made him out to be. Killed JFK? Check. Killed MLK? Check. No Bills in the Super Bowl? Check. Deep Throat is back which is nice too as is the Forest Gump soliloquy CSM goes on which is one of my email signatures. I’m glad they changed the original ended where CSM killed Frohike.

4.8 “Tunguska” Idiot TSA agent opens a container AFTER being told by a diplomat that it is hazardous material. He gets infected with our black oil friends for his trouble. Krycek is back and it turns out he was sprung from his black oil cell by some militia men who he sells out to Mulder. They go looking for the diplomatic pouch but come up with a rock and Mulder stashes Krycek with Skinner. Wouldn’t you love to see the spinoff focusing on Skinner and Kryceck rooming together? Turns out said rock has the black oil and the poor scientist gets infected but it’s not like the previous incidents: the scientist is catatonic. CSM threatens Skinner over the pouch and gets nothing. Somebody breaks into Skinner’s place looking for the pouch and Krycek throws him off the balcony. Then Mulder and Krycek travel to Russia to find more info on the rock and that ends with Mulder in a gulag where he and a bunch of other men are intentionally exposed to the black oil (I think he sucker punched Krycek once too many times).

More X-Files

4.9 “Terma” Mulder knocks Krycek out again and they escape the prison. The residents around the prison have figured out that if you don’t have an arm, there can be no tests. Krycek loses his arm and Mulder makes it back. The Russians have been figuring out how to inoculate folks from the black oil. Someone has been dispatched to kill nursing home residents who have been experimented on, put the infected rock back in the ground, and kill a scientist whose expertise is small pox. Our assassin does inject the vaccine into the wayward scientist from the previous episode but we never find out if it works on him. The story seems to suggest that the US conspiracy doesn’t want a vaccine.

4.10 “Paper Hearts” Mulder’s dreams lead him to a serial killer who preys on children. The killer is someone Mulder caught years ago but he always believed there were more victims. Turns out, Mulder was right and there were three more, two of whom are unaccounted for. It is suggested that this guy kill Samantha but if that was the case, how do you explain the clones? How do you explain the bounty hunter and the other alien clones saying that Samantha is still alive? The fact that a child predator got loose with a badge and gun and kidnapped a girl on Mulder’s watch should have been his dismissal from the FBI.

4.11 “El Mundo Gira” We on the hunt for el chubacabra featuring Ruben Blades and Raymond Cruz. The fungus overgrowth and dying of athlete’s foot is kinda disgusting. I enjoy the supporting actors which made the episode more interesting than it had a right to be. I am a little disturbed by the fact that two men carrying a deadly and highly contagious pathogen are allowed to go on their way. There’s no indication that the FBI warned anyone in Mexico about the impending danger.

4.12 “Leonard Betts” So even though there was a possible hint at Scully’s cancer in a previous episode, this one announces it with neon blinking lights. Betts has the ability to regenerate by sensing and eating cancer cells. He tells Scully that she has something he needs and tries to get at her. The episode ends with blood on her pillow and her coughing. Scully may not have believed that Betts could re-grow his entire body but she does realize that something may be wrong with her.

Re: The Ninth Annual May Make-Your-Own Challenge *Discussion Thread* May 1-31, 2018

Since yesterday, I’ve been thinking of cartoons a lot, so today I decided to make the last week and a half of my Challenge a Cartoon and Outdoor Show Challenge. I started with an episode of The Amazing World Of Gumball , where the family went on vacation. I’d forgotten how good that show was.

I've been thinking about my annual vacation to Oshkosh, so have watched a couple DVDs of the Plane Facts, from a DVD set I bought at Oshkosh called Aviation Antholog. It's an 18 DVD set of aviation documentaries.

I thought Caligula was running it again, but if he doesn’t, I will.
