    I was trapped inside a flying metal box, and it gave me the opportunity to watch several stuff:

    • It happened last night: Fun, well acted and great cinematography for an old comedy with Clark Gable. It shows its age through certain appalling misogyny, but it is also like traveling to a different time.

    • Fast Times at Ridgemond High: It is amazing how well it stands time. Also a time capsule of the 80s, not only for clothing and setting, but also how people acted and thought. It is surprisingly mature for a raunchy teen comedy and touches subjects with a care unfound even in today’s dramas.

    • One Battle After Another: Made me super uncomfortable all the time, for how relevant it is to our time, but also how it might be prescient to what’s coming. Definitely not perfect and hard to watch but very well wrapped at the end.

    • Rental Family: I expected the tipical Japansplotation movie and came out crying enough to feel lighter at the end. Brendan Fraser is an excellent “Sad American” but the rest of the cast was also stacked. Sadly, not all sub-stories are as relevant or well rounded as the main one. Still, the overall is a great, modest, piece of light family drama.
