    My Fair Lady

    Some songs are unimportant to the plot and repeat notes a little too much, fast forwarding these songs won't cost you the experience. The song that stands to mind the most is that of Eliza's father singing about him getting married and dancing in a bar, useless money wasting shot.

    The overall movie is good, and is highly enjoyable.

    The Richard Donner cut of Superman (the Movie) and then the commentary by Donner and Tom Mankiewicz and then the music only cut.
    Power with Girl is better.

    Cool. Try to watch it sooner then later. These two films are really amazing. I can see why your friend thinks so.

    If you're just watching MY FAIR LADY (1964) for the story, then you might as well watch PYGMALION (1934)--that leaves out the songs and lets the actors act. It stars Leslie Howard and Wendy Hiller. The whole point of making Shaw's play into a musical on Broadway, was so Lerner and Loewe could stage a lot of song & dance numbers. In Broadway musicals, the plot was not so important as the spectacle and surely "Get Me to the Church on Time" is a showstopper. But I would have liked to have seen the actual Broadway musical, with Julie Andrews in the role of Eliza Doolittle. Now that must have been something. It's one of those weird switcheroos that Andrews didn't get cast in the movie--or in the movie version of CAMELOT (1967)--yet did get cast in the movie version of SOUND OF MUSIC (1965).

    Happy Death Day: Looks like the one i haven't watched yet is the original 'Groundhog Day'. Edge of Tomorrow was great. And this one is really good too. Interesting premise as the girl has to solve the mystery of her own murder. Or else she has to relieve the whole day again and again. I really enjoyed it. It was so much fun as literally anyone could be a killer. It can't be called a horror comedy but it surely has some comedy. The lead actress Jessica Rothe was really good. The whole film was her show and a good reason why the film works is due to her performance.

    It's really good, one of those rare comedies that transcends and is poignant.

    I heard that this was a pretty good movie to spend some time. Interesting fact: the writer of the movie is Scott Lobdell of Generation X, Uncanny X-Men, Wildcats, and so many other comics.

    I watched a few last night:

    Apollo 13. I had never seen it and the Space-X test flight kind of got me interested in space-related movies. While I keep hoping that Gravity gets released again shortly on IMAX, I decided to watch Apollo 13 on Netflix. Good movie, but I don't know...I didn't feel the sense of thrill, tension or sorrow for the characters like I did with a movie like Gravity or The Martian, or even quite a lot of Interstellar.

    Limitless. Also on Netflix. I saw it before, but I thought I'd check it out again. It played a little better the second time.

    Gerald's Game. On the basis of Chris Stuckmann's strong recommendation, I decided to watch this movie. While Stephen King is big right now with "It" getting a ton of praise and "The Dark Tower" getting outright ignored, I think Gerald's Game was clearly the strongest movie adaptation of the three. This is a movie I think more people should check out.

    I do want to see it. I was thinking of reading the book beforehand, but I might just skip that. I'm sure I will like this far more than It or Dark Tower. Good king adaptations are so few and far between for me.

    Godzilla(1954)

    My first time seeing it. I thought it was great. I'll probably continue with the other Showa Era movies.

    The King's Speech(2010): Watched this for the first time. Acting performances are top notch. I did not know that Colin Firth is so good an actor. I had only seen Kingsman where he was really good. But this is some great acting. Beautiful film to watch. I noted the way its shot. I am impressed. They get these kind of shots at the beginning which makes the whole stage look so big that we kind of feel like him about how its overwhelming.

    Nice to see the Harry Potter actors here including Michael Gambon, Timothy Spall and of course Helena Bonham Carter. Good performances everywhere. Geofrey Rush and Colin Firth manage to simply talk and own the screen. It was really good. I enjoyed it.

    The Search for Weng Weng. Good, though depressing. Extra coolness for having a friend appear in one of the end credit photos.

    The Avengers, or Avengers Assemble as it's officially called here in the UK for some reason.

    I watched Last Jedi again this past weekend. Though I have been seeing ads for Three Billboards Outside Ebbings Missouri. Looks like it might be good.
