#MovieThread starts here.
Today's film, #2, "Promare." No idea what this one's about but the animation looks cool.
Tonight's film, movie #7! Ripped from the headlines, it's 1932 Best Picture nominee "I Am A Fugitive From a Chain Gang."
...Finally, one I feel like I can safely assume is exactly what it says on the tin.
👋 🔫 "A Farewell to Arms" (1932) is too horny
it's all just
this movie has a scene where the main guy just touches and talks to a sex worker's bare feet for a while
her face is never seen, and a couple minutes later he confuses another pair of feet for hers -- the owner of those feet is the woman he's now having a big romance with
I forgot to thread, but movie #9 in #MovieThread is "Toy Story." https://beepboop.one/@Alexis/104722204163664976

@Alexis idgi
@Alexis I don't think these are real movies. I think you're pulling an elaborate prank.
@kurt One where the girl from Twilight fights Cthulhu? Ridiculous.
@Alexis I buy that one more than Seth Rogen getting preserved in a vat of pickles.
@kurt This one does sound a lot like a fake trailer on SNL the week a superhero movie comes out.
@Alexis To be fair, fake snl trailer is a genre of movies that exists unfortunately.
🔫 "Live and Let Die" (1973)

⛓️ "I Am A Fugitive From A Chain Gang" (1932)
Not got a word to say about it, but this is pretty good.
(I think this is the earliest I've seen the pan-across-a-map for a travel montage, though I think that originates in serials, not here.)
