I like to think of us as a little online movie club... albeit admittedly organized around a love of small d democratic norms, which may be a bit weird. I watch the assigned movies weekly (and only rarely miss), so I'm excited for this weeks film. I'm a sucker for westerns.

Anyway, my favorite Michael Gambon role was Baltus Van Tassle in Sleepy Hollow. Again, not a staring role, but he delivered perfectly.

Ha, I’m glad you’re getting some tips out of this last section; I try to program it like I’d program a rep house. What’s thematically resonant this week?

Well I figured we'd be getting a Gambon film since he passed this week.

But I did get a good chuckle out of the themes for the Pope's Exorcist... Why did the director decide to cast a fat Russel Crowe? Why make him do so many accents? Why so many long transition shots of Crowe on a Vespa?

I was watching it with my wife and she was utterly flummoxed why I was watching it.
