  Eephus 2024

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 15 Mar 2025

  I don’t know how you tell a story about a couple dozen old men playing the last game on a diamond marked for demolition without even a dollop of sentimentality, but these assholes sure did it. 
  Not a hang-out movie, but a hang on movie.

  North by Northwest 1959

  ★★★★ Watched 25 Dec 2024

  Not a knockout by Hitchcock standards, but a great couple of set pieces daisy-chained with some pretty hilarious cold-war era sexual/actual politics.

  Downtown Owl 2023

  ★★★½ Watched 16 Aug 2024

  Not great, but underrated. Rabe is very good; the source material is chock full of Klosterman-isms like “I like you man… and I will give you two hundred chances to be interesting.”
  They change the ending for the better and we all walk away happy.
