  Eephus 2024

  Rewatched 23 Mar 2025

  Not sure a better film’s been made about the sad/beautiful/absurd allure of sport and its many functions in the typical medium-to-low-skilled person’s life.

  Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie 1995

  Added

  Not sure I ever got through this as a child, but cleared a morning for it at 36. Expected this would be bad, of course, but didn’t know it would absolutely shell my ass with hideous images for 96 minutes. (Don’t worry, Bryan Spicer would silence the doubters just two years later with both McHale’s Navy and Allen/Alley two-hander For Richer or Poorer.)

  My father (boorish, small-minded, retrograde): This movie is about men.

  Me (erudite, in-the-know, attractive): This *film* is about *masculinity*.
