Movie season

Movie season in our house began on November 2 this year. I’ve come to realize there are two season around here in regards to what we’re watching, baseball and movie. Baseball ended on November 1, so movie season started on November 2.

We started out with the Criterion Channel collection Black Out Noir and we’ve dabbled in other things from there. Early Bogey and Bacall that I’d never seen as well as an epic that I spent two nights watching, Once Upon a Time in Amercia. I’m still thinking about that movie and about Max and Noodles and the differences between them. I’m also thinking about the cinematography and amazing way some of the scenes were shot (the mirrors in the dressing room, so amazing!).

We got The Brutalist out from the library (not for me, sadly) and we’ve watched some of the older Star Trek movies with the Next Generation crew. We’ve watched some mindless older action and some James Bond, from all the eras.

One thing that’s been fun about the start of movie season this year is that Rob is watching a lot of the movies we are around the same time. I’ve enjoyed seeing his logs and what he’s thought about the noirs. Something about the early sunsets and the longer evenings makes me want to curl up and watch a movie, so I am.
