The "Did you know there was a four-hour version of that movie you like!" clickbait trend is so dumb.

My parents cancelled HBO - but still have Starz and Cinemax for some reason - so I've missed out on Veep. The gf added it onto her Hulu so she could binge SATC, so I now I have to find time to get caught up before she cancels, if she does. Man I miss that show. I wonder Gary is up to.

In terms of Letterboxd, I'm at 1,399 films. What should be the coveted 1,400th? Something that has a relatively decent runtime, so no Lord of the Rings and what not.

Some classic screwball comedy. They also tend to run relatively short.

 

It Happened One Night

Arsenic and Old Lace (did you end up watching this last night?)

The Awful Truth

Bringing Up Baby

His Girl Friday

The Lady Eve

Sullivan's Travels

 

Something like that.

Only Angels Have Wings. Cuz cool and stoic Cary Grant is (even) better than manic and mugging Cary Grant.

It takes place in a really ugly motel that somehow is not too far away from the extravagances of the Magic Kingdom. Even I never knew that place existed (or was simply oblivious to it) during all of those years I was frequent visitor of the Orlando area and the parks.
