Comments | Blaine: When I was a kid, I begged my parents to rent this week after week because I love Streisand and O’Neal in What’s Up, Doc? so I wanted to see them in something else. Turns out this is NOT a comedy, so I was quite disappointed. This was also when I started paying more attention to directors than performers, because the pair worked so much better in Peter Bogdanovich’s comedy than in this Howard Zieff drama. | ||||||||

Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “I’m recommending skipping this week, unless you bought the first half of Turn A Gundam on Blu-Ray, in which case you should get the second half. And if you didn’t get the first half of Turn A Gundam, why haven’t you?” Blaine says, “I’m going with Star Trek: Voyager, at least season 5. I’m looking forward to seasons 6 and 7.”
Did you guys not like Passengers? I haven’t watched it yet but it’s in the queue (new TV arriving next week so I’m not watching anything till then. And man am I bored).
My pick of the week is Finian’s Rainbow, because it was mentioned in a Monty Python’s Flying Circus episode and I want to get the joke.
I have not seen it yet, but I have not heard promising things.
I haven’t seen it yet, so I won’t pick it.
