For this Friday Movie Night, first up is A Special Day (1977), an Italian historical drama set in 1938, during the fascist era, on the day of the first meeting between Mussolini and Hitler. A housewife, played by Sophia Loren, begins a friendship with her neighbor, a dissident journalist, while her fascist-functionary husband attends the event. The husband is secretly gay. Drama ensues. This is the best-known and generally best-regarded work of director Ettore Scola, who is otherwise known for the buddy-reunion dramedy We All Loved Each Other So Much (1974), which we watched a few months ago. This one is currently ranked #168 on Letterboxd’s Top 250 films of all time. Looks good; let’s check it out.

After that is Targets (1968), the debut feature of Peter Bogdanovich, who has a good record on movie nights so far (The Last Picture Show [1971], What’s Up Doc? [1972], Paper Moon [1973]). It centers on a washed-up horror actor (Boris Karloff) who finds himself out-of-touch in modern Hollywood, and things just get worse when he’s stalked by a psychotic sniper who just arrived home from Vietnam and is looking for blood. Will Karloff be another victim of this madman’s rampage? Suspense ensues. This has excellent reviews pretty much everywhere, so we’ll give it a whirl.

Finally, for anyone who is still awake afterward, we’ll watch the nineteenth Pokemon movie, Pokémon the Movie: Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel (2016). There is light at the end of the tunnel.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here:
