This is very dark… I just upgraded the TV computer, and it’s now using the nouveau driver instead of the proprietary Nvidia driver. And this is a 4K movie. Is it doing the mapping wrong?
It looks OK when it’s lighter…
That definitely has more colour than what I’m watching… Let’s try to go back to the Nvidia driver…
YES! COLOURS!!!
Geez; it’s really the year of Linux on the TV, isn’t it?
I’ve missed Goldie Hawn without knowing it.
I guess I don’t watch many, er, more commercial movies from the 70s? I’m born in 1968, so I didn’t see movies like this the first time around, and by the time I was old enough, I guess they seemed kinda outdated and slightly embarrassing? (While 50s movies were cool.)
And I’ve never really fixed that… I mean, I’ve seen all the “serious” 70s movies, but I don’t think I’ve ever watched this, for instance. And Hazel Flagg is big on 70s, so that’s fun — I’m catching up on things I didn’t even know I wanted to watch.
Because this is a really fun movie.
See? She agrees with me, too!
That’s the 70s, alright!
NOO A BATHROOM MIRROR
Heh heh, as teenagers while watching movies, we’d always start holding our hands in front of our faces whenever a bathroom mirror showed up, because we knew that there’d be a jump scare.
And there was one here, too!
I’m glad I had my hands up in time.
Oh, villains!
Oh, the director has only done three movies. There were all really successful commercially, I think? OK, the last one didn’t do fantastic, but…
This was very funny for the first half, but then it get a bit more bogged down into the plot and goes for a romance thing between Hawn and Chase, and I’m not sure that’s totally convincing?
But I mean, it’s still fun.
I tried out my new LLM-powered actor identification thing… I guess that’s right?
That looks correct, too! Wow.
Hey! No engravings! No “Anti-POPE”?!
OK, I didn’t watch this in the most optimal way — I was distracted by testing out various technical things here…
But I enjoyed watching this a lot. But I’m guessing this will never have a revival — it relies on clichés (both overt and not) to an unprecedented degree. Sure, the albino evil guy — that’s them having fun with clichés. But then there’s the strident feminist, the small person abuse played for laughs only, the (admittedly very exciting) car chase in San Francisco, the blonde being extremely ditzy… Every little thing.
But it’s funny.
