  Jackass Forever 2022

  ½ Watched by Adam Laiben 27 Apr 2022

  Waste of time. Complete waste of time. Not funny. Cruel to animals. Pointless nonsense that only serves it’s maker. Sad. 

  I thought this shit was funny when I was 16 but now it’s just pathetic.

  Joker 2019

  ★★★½ Watched by Adam Laiben 03 Oct 2019 1

  Moving. Beautiful. Joaquin was devistatingly brilliant. Music was chilling. Mental illness elements were powerful. Final speech could have used a few more rewrites. I didn’t feel for him or the cause. 🤡

  The Exorcist 1973

  ★★★★½ Rewatched by Adam Laiben 02 Oct 2019

  Realize I’ve never seen this all the way through. Very scary. Amazing horror cinema for 1973. I had a deeper connection to the material since I grew up Catholic. 

  Everyone was great, especially Linda Blair and Lee Cobb as Lieutenant Kinderman. Effects in this are top notch. Apparently this was the first use of early version of a Steadicam style rig. 

  Beyond Fest 2019 Egyptian Theater Los Angeles. Supposed to be Q&A with William Friedkin but he fell ill so Linda Blair showed up. She had some nice insight and great message about animal welfare.
