That girl I will always wish lived next door. 

Fond memory of her randomly pushing buttons and helping Gary Seven in Assignment: Earth

House guest and I watched 1917.  Struck again, on second view, by the masterful cinematography.  A working title could have been, Tracking Shots Gone Wild. 

And there at the end is Jon Snow Robb Stark Richard Madden! 

Pure and powerful cinematic art, with the heartache and madness and horror of war (and let's not forget the fog) printed indelibly on the brain.

Agreed. I should note that while watching the movie, I kept saying, Hey! That's Benedict Cumberbatch! Right up until it actually WAS Benedict Cumberbatch.

Pretty sure that was Kevin Bacon.

Anyway, saw Take Shelter again, and what stellar performances from Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain, as they navigate what is either his descent into schizophrenia or his terrifying prophetic visions of climatic catastrophe.  Shannon's enormous leonine head seems like the perfect anatomical asset for filling a room with his turbulent emotions and scaring the bejesus out of people.  Chastain is a gorgeous rock of sanity, courage, and stern but tender love.  You may be tempted to make a canned goods run to the supermarket by the time the credits roll.
