Still haven't seen "Call Me By Your Name"

I don't know how much I want to see Timothee Chalamet and Armie Hammer enjoying a fulfilling sex life while hanging around Italy and being smarter and better-looking than everyone else, but I checked again. It's three years old and you still can't watch it free on Roku.

I've only seen Chalamet in one other movie playing a bourgeois teen drug addict. Couldn't see what the big deal was.

I don't think I've seen Armie Hammer in anything, but I did see Gorky Park. I assumed Lee Marvin's character was inspired by Hammer's great-grandfather, Armand Hammer, who ran Occidental Petroleum and was friendly with Soviet leaders.

Armand Hammer claimed that Armand was a family name, but his father was an official in the Socialist Labor Party, the symbol of which was an arm and hammer. Seems likely that was why he named him that.
