I'm glad you were able to discern from cryptic post this was indeed a film about Operation Market Garden.

ah, see, you *did* write that it was OMG, but that would have involved reading, on my part.

The Father (2020)

I gave this film a wide berth for a while as I had been caring for my dad with dementia for a couple of years around that time. Everything about it is well-executed. I wonder if it might be a good primer for family members not knowing what to expect when someone close gets dementia, partly because I felt it conveyed well the confusion the person with the condition experiences. I've wondered if having dementia is like waking from a traumatising dream, half-remembered tendrils of untruth from the dream warping one's point of view, and the act of trying to find your feet with reality again, just all day long.

Emotionally, it was hard work. Not a film I'll be coming back to, but if you enjoy decent actors hitting performances out of the park without all the usual hollywood drama, you might want to check it out.

The Sopranos (1999), S1 - S4

I'm watching S5 because my brother assures me that it gets better, but that meme regarding Game of Thrones with the picture of the horse that steadily turns from extremely well-drawn to a stick figure towards the final season IMO applies here too. S1 and S2 were engaging, S3 and S4 really dragged, went nowhere and were rather soapy.

every single reviewer i follow on YT has said that Weapons is a fantastic film. I guess i may have to go to the theater ?

Dunkirk (2017)

Presented in 5p/70mm Ultra Panavision. I always forget how insanely good this can look especially in the hands of an absolute film lunatic like Nolan who also largely sticks to practical effects when possible. I just wish he'd make the dialogue, what little there is, actually intelligible. Though did actually catch this time that the old man with the boat's name was "Dawson" which is a nice nod to Jim Cameron.

Can't believe that Eddie Murphy is still relevant and looks 50 at most. Generic action movie but I found it to be pretty entertaining.

6.5/10

I might have to watch this just because The Dice Man is in it (Andrew Dice Clay).

Reviews are atrocious!

Don't recognize him from face but I think he's the boss of the security company? Maybe max 5 minutes of screen time but not bad.
