    BRAIN DEAD leans into the "is it a dream? is it reality?" schtick too much. HANDS OF STEEL is the best post-apoc arm wrestling movie ever. MARTY, LIFE IS SHORT is the flip of the Chevy Chase doc and THE SECT is a fun Eurotrash take on ROSEMARY'S BABY. #LastFourWatched #FilmSky #Letterboxd

    43 years ago today, "The Big Chill," a movie about a group of U-M grads written and directed by Michigan alumnus Lawrence Kasdan*, debuted in theaters. This film was based on John Sayles film "The Return of the Secaucus Seven". * Kasdan also directed Marty: Life is Short (his first doc) in 2026.

    I just watched Marty Life is Short on Netflix and nothing in recent memory has made me cry as hard as I cried in the last like 30 or so minutes of that documentary. It's a really lovely film!
