                  I love The Killing of a Chinese Bookie cause in this unique take on a "gangster film" John Cassavetes mostly made it an extended metaphor about the frustrations of being an independent artist focused on producing unique experiences in an industry that runs instead on titillation. It is literally his commentary on his own career as a film director.

                    Gunnery Sergeant Hartman shouts out n***er.

                    He normalizes the use of homophobic slurs.

                    He calls Private Pyle (PP) a "disgusting fat body" which is gordophobic.

                    When PP is beat by the other recruits one night as 'instructed' by Hartman, only white private Joker is reluctant. None of the Black recruits hesitate reinforcing negative stereotypes.

                          So, I don't know if I've talked about Monthly Movie Night on here before.

                          Way back in 2014 my wife and I had an idea to watch all the Best Picture Academy Award winning movies, in order, from 1927's "Wings" up to the present-day. We would watch one per month, which , if everything went smoothly, would have us catching up the the present day after a few years.

                          The family got word of the idea and liked it, so we invited them all to come over. We have a big family, and they're almost all locals. So every month we've been hosting about 15-20 people, to watch a classic movie.

                          We do themed food. (for instance, this month is a western, so we're having chili)

                          We have a popcorn machine. (a real, full-sized one)

                          We do movie trivia (with the night's winner, second, and third place receiving the movie candy boxes of their choice, respectively. The cumulative trivia winner for the year gets to pick the New Year's Eve movie. (Yes, we do Movie Night on New Year's Eve every year)

                          Before the movie, we run a cartoon that matches the theme of the movie. And then we run a trailer for the next month's movie. And then... roll film!

                          After the movie, we go out and sit around the fire pit, listen to music, and chat until midnight-ish.

                          Well, 12 years later, we're still going strong.

                          We've celebrated announcing our first pregnancy at movie night. We celebrated announcing our 2nd kid at movie night. Our youngest is now 7, and our oldest is now 11. To them, a monthly movie night is just a given - "doesn't everyone do a movie night?"

                          The audience has also grown older. My wife's grandma has come to almost every movie night, and she's now 97 years young and still going strong. She's a hoot. She can't remember anything you just said to her just a minute ago, but she can recount some of the craziest stories from her past. Stories about each of the aunts and uncles that come to movie night, and who are now also in their late 60's/70's.

                          The goal of watching all the Oscar winners stayed as true as we could make it.

                          For some movies, they were just not great for a mixed audience, so we skipped those and went with the biggest Blockbuster of that year. When both were no-go's, we picked another fun one from that year.

                          For Halloween, we always pick a classic. This year we're going with Edwards Scissorhands (even though that's obviously a Christmas movie)

                          But my kids really want to see it, and they think it's creepy and should be a halloween movie... anyway...

                          Inevitably, the Oscar winners became too heavy (our last Oscar movie was The Artist, which was fitting, as we both started this journey with a silent film and ended it with a silent film.) so we now have a "fishbowl".

                          The "fishbowl" contains slips of paper, upon which guests have written either their favorite movie, or a movie they think everyone would enjoy together and might not have seen before.

                          Tonight, we're watching Stagecoach (1939) - John Wayne's first big hit.

                          I just love the poster.

                          Anyway, that's Movie Night. A right-honourable tradition that I hope never ends.


                          Movie poster for the 1939 film Stagecoach. I'm going to use Claude to describe it for you because honestly, this is one of only a few legitimate use cases for AI: This is the classic 1939 poster for "Stagecoach," directed by John Ford. The image is dominated by a dramatic nighttime scene: a stagecoach pulled by a team of four galloping horses races diagonally across the poster from the upper right toward the lower left, kicking up dust on a dirt road. The horses are rendered in cool blue-gray tones, straining forward with harnesses and reins visible. Two figures sit atop the coach — one appears to be cracking a whip — painted in warm orange and gold tones that stand out sharply against the cool blue palette of the rest of the scene. Behind them, a jagged mountain range rises under a deep blue night sky, its peaks catching a warm orange glow as if lit by sunset or firelight. At the top of the poster, in white hand-written lettering, text reads: "A Powerful Story of 9 Strange People." Across the lower half of the poster, the title "STAGECOACH" is spelled out in large, bold, slanted yellow sans-serif all-caps letters that follow the same diagonal angle as the racing coach, giving the whole composition a sense of forward motion and speed. Below the title, in white text, are the production credits: "A Walter Wanger Production" "Directed by John Ford" "with Claire Trevor · John Wayne · Andy Devine" "John Carradine · Thomas Mitchell · Louise Platt · George Bancroft" "Donald Meek · Berton Churchill · Tim Holt" "Released Thru United Artists" The overall color scheme is mostly deep blues and blacks, with the bright yellow title and warm orange highlights creating striking contrast.

                                            Canadian voice actor Peter Cullen, who was the voice of King Kong, KARR in Knight Rider, Eeyore in the Winnie the Pooh franchise, and other productions, has died at age 85.

                                            He voiced Optimus Prime in the original 1980s Transformers animated series, later returning to the role in Transformers media in 2007, starting with the first live-action film. He also voiced many other characters across a wide variety of popular media, including Monterey Jack in Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, the first voice of KARR in Knight Rider and the vocalizations of the title character in Predator. He also voiced Thaedus in the animated series Invincible.
