Serendipity.

We decided earlier we need to watch T2 tonight.

I watched it with the Eldest (12) son earlier in the year, now it's time to make the youngest (10) watch it.

He's already wearing the Arnold hoody we found in a charity shop, and singing "I need your clothes, your boots, your motorcycle" by Austrian Death Machine, he really needs some context.

Come with me if you want to live

This is parenting done right.

I rewatched it with the commentary recently and it was super interesting to hear about what went into its stunts and whatnot

I am an unrepentant movie rewatcher. When life is really stressful, my go-to is watching LOTR Extended Editions 40-60 mins at a time like it's a TV series lol. Also in heavy rotation at my house: The Martian, First Man, Ford v. Ferrari, Deja Vu (which is criminally underrated), MI: Fallout...a few others

A full rewatch of LOTR extended edition is at minimum a yearly tradition for me. Usually more, or just letting it play while I'm doing other things.

Pre-pandemic it was my annual ritual to watch it while baking and decorating Christmas cookies. It's a great way to spend 12 hours. Maybe this year I can finally reinstate the tradition.

Deja Vu is pretty great!

Honestly I hate rewatching things unless it’s been long enough that I’ve forgotten everything. Not much beats watching something good for the first time

I rewatch step Brothers pretty much every month and I've watched the batman(2022) probably about 5 or 6 times . And the spider verse movies many times . Actual most of the movies I watch lately are movies I've seen a few times already.

The hospital escape is my favorite scene in any movie.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Totally agree. Sitting there watching in the theatre was the best unexpected cinematic pleasure ever. Just sheer jaw dropping wide eyed fascination.

The whole film holds up, my joint favourite film

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Don't forget Terminator 1.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

By golly, you're right! I should start there and just make a whole day of it.

Thats two whole things in a day. I'm not about to get crazy and add a third.

[–] Eheran 5 points 11 months ago

Good point.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

There are more than just two Terminator movies. Also there is a tv series. Sounds like its time to binge the full enchilada.

2 movies are all I see there.

[–] Viking_Hippie 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Ah, the old "weird how No Doubt never released another album after Tragic Kingdom and there was no Star Wars 1-3" kind of gambit! Carry on, then 😁

I'm not saying that I have so much to do, but I just have a hard time even managing to watch a single movie. I'm not wasting that by rewatching anything 😅

[–] GuStJaR 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I watched roadhouse for the 1st time last night :/

Why watch something new when you can watch scrubs and Malcolm in the middle where you can dub the actors because you know all the dialogue?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Man, Malcolm in the Middle is such a good show. Also, it never really had a bad season I feel, and they ended it at the right moment.

[–] son_named_bort 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Same with TV shows. I could watch a new show, or I could watch the monorail episode of The Simpsons. I know what I'm picking.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

If I could find a good way to play Futurama episodes on shuffle, I'd be set.

[–] daellat 2 points 11 months ago

Why yes I will rewatch BoB a 7th time if I must.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I like to rewatch Miyazaki, when I need some feel good movies.

And sometimes I start humming the score for Dune 1984, and then I know it's time for a rewatch.
