What's The Last Movie You’ve Seen?

Finally got around to watching The Rise of Skywalker yesterday. I kind of wish I hadn't, that I still lived in a world where I could believe it was a good movie, that it wasn't just a series of vaguely connected scenes that go jarringly from one to the other without regard to plot or character, and every dilemma is resolved through a dues ex machina.

There were some good cameos in it, though, although their use of Carrie Fisher really pisses me off.
 
Watched Good Boys on HBO last night. Extremely mediocre. Had solid reviews but was just Superbad redone with 12 year olds instead. But done poorly.

Wasn’t she basically drugged and an addict during TWoO?

Yes, that seems to be true. Amphetamines to keep her awake and working for 18 hours a day, benzodiazepines to help her sleep. Smoking and little food to keep her skinny. She was never able to break the addiction and died of an overdose at age 47.

Mickey Rooney (her frequently costar) said the studio didn't give them drugs, but who knows. Maybe it was different for the girls.

The Social Network again. Best movie of the last 15 years. A joke that A Kong’s Speech won best pic.

Nah. Entertaining? Yes. But best? There are so many which I consider are much better (see some on my list a couple of pages ago). Art/movie taste is subjective. We can have favorites but it's hard to claim unanimously one movie as "the best".

Fair. I was drunk when I posted. It’s a joke though that The King’s Speech won.
