Samb @sansho1.bsky.social · 10/10/2026(The production design is super impressive, I just didn't like the washed-out aesthetic -- a choice I usually find audience-punishing. The human ability to perceive color would survive an apocalypse.) 000
Reposted by SambSamb @sansho1.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Update: just saw Digger. I liked...not the structure, exactly, but the idea of the structure. I liked most of the performances, Goodman aside. I was able to tune out more of the sound design than I thought I would (credit to me, not the movie). OTOH, neither witty nor funny, and looked like shit. 111

Samb @sansho1.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Before the brief glimmer of hope against the Dodgers, I had already contented myself with the season as is. We had a better 2026 than any of our rivals. Cheers to that! 110

Samb @sansho1.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I enjoyed it once I shook off the Problematic Character. The scene at the screen door between Durning and Brando (Marlon's sister, the eyebrows were a giveaway) was a good centerpiece. And an inexplicable ending, very '80s indeed! 010
Samb @sansho1.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Holy crap, I think I saw this when it aired in '81. There's a death scene (if you've seen this, you know the one) that left an imprint on me that's lain dormant for lo these many years. 110
Samb @sansho1.bsky.social · 07/10/2026OK there's a scene between Charles Durning and Jocelyn Brando that takes a turn that left my mouth agape. Not sure it redeems the movie, but at least I'm having a good time now. 100

Samb @sansho1.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I have no particular problem with Iñárritu, but the descriptions of the viewing experience of Digger as assaultive may put me off going. I'm not insulted by not being given enough intellectual credit by a filmmaker -- that's a minor demerit -- but I need some sensory relief. 000
