When I think back to High Plains Drifter, his directorial debut in 1972, I donāt think heās made many duds since.
(Looking back, I think Play Misty For Me might have been his first)

Is that the one he made with his then wife (Sondra Locke)?
Yep
She was in a few others too. Better ones like The Outlaw Josey Wales and Sudden Impact.

Watched Infinity War on Saturday and then Endgame on Sunday to wrap up the MCU.
I enjoyed both of them well enough, though I was a bit annoyed to see them chop off Thanosā arm at the start of Endgame when I was practically screaming at the telly for them to do exactly that in Infinity War, instead of having two people struggle to yank it off while that idiot Star Lord got progressively angrier and started punching Thanos in the face, thus ruining everything and dooming half the population to death. Or Dr Strange could have conjured a portal and then closed it with Thanosā gauntlet arm partially through it to remove his arm and the stones from the picture entirely, as we know this is possible due to earlier in the film when theyāre in New York battling Thanosā henchman and we saw one lose a limb as they reached back through a portal to grab one of the heroes.
We watched on Disney+ and had the subtitles on, throughout Endgame they captioned the Hulkās dialogue with āSmart Hulkā at the start of every line and it fucking cracked me up.
We were watching the entire MCU chronologically and in order to get it done ended up skipping a few films as we were suffering from MCU fatigue, but weāll likely still go back to watch Captain Marvel (gf is particularly keen so I guess its happening, but she was a bit too OP for my tastes, hence them having to explain her absence for most of Endgame, as sheās so OP sheād have made half the cast basically redundant), Ant Man and The Wasp and Dr Strange.
I thought Dr Strange would be pretty lame, but having seen him and his supporting cast in these two films I think its likely a fairly good film. Like every rational person in the world I love Paul Rudd, and I think the MCU is hugely improved by his presence, so Iāll be going back to his solo sequel.
But most of all I wanted to finish up this storyline so I could move on to Spider-Man: Far From Home without worrying Iād be missing some key info, as heās by far my favourite comic book character after Batman.
