Someone recommend some movies for me to watch. During this, my time off, I will pick one, watch it, and tell you what I think.

Return of the Living Dead Part 3.
Hail to thyself
For I am my own master
I am my own god
I require no shepherd
For I am no sheep.

Gabriel Knight

PREDESTINATION (2014)

For his final assignment, a top temporal agent must pursue the one criminal that has eluded him throughout time. The chase turns into a unique, surprising and mind-bending exploration of love, fate, identity and time travel taboos.

Science fiction that will make you think a lot.

PREDESTINATION is excellent, and Gabriel and I rarely like the same movies.

Since you were talking about David Foster Wallace, you might try THE END OF THE TOUR, where Jason Segel does a great job as Wallace.

Thanks, all of you. I will put these on my list, do my best to watch them, and hopefully tell you what I thought.

Fatal Attraction

Funny enough this was the recommendation I watched first, because there was a vhs copy of it here. Kind of a whacked '80s shock flick, innit?

Thanks, les.

Since you recommended it, I caught a lot of clips from The End of the Tour on YouTube, probably constituting a fifth of the movie, all told. Rather than buy a copy I'm going to check it out from the library. It's been good so far but I do question Lipsky's take on Wallace as such a passive figure. (At least in the clips I've seen.) I think Wallace had a bully side to him, by many accounts, even that of his sister, let alone his wife. (But then again who among us fits one description?) I like the fact the film doesn't set itself up as a memorial to tragedy.
