  1. First episode exceeded all expectations. I was expecting some quirky comedy like the original but it's nothing like that. Not a comedy at all. If anything, it's more like Harry Potter, a lot like Harry Potter. I think this will be a popular series.
  2. Watched the first episode and it's really solid so far. I'm glad they changed the storyline to a father and his daughter. It would have been really creepy to keep the original storyline.

    Black Adam

    Was much better than I expected. Better than most of the recent Marvel stuff (haven't seen BPWF yet). I actually thought Cyclone looked pretty damn cool using her powers. Actress was nice eye candy too.

    A few months back at it now. My form has sort of come back. I'm hitting a pretty heavy ball with plenty of pace and control and the pain has completely gone away. It feels like I have my mechanics dialed in. Problem is my knees are total shit. Can't run to save my life. And my wife is a 3 month beginner. We almost never win our matches lol.
  6. Wife is making me watch it right now. Lohan's face barely moves, what with all the botox and fillers in her face. She looks horrible. Julianne Moore is 26 years older than Lohan and looks better than her.
  7. Lucky Number Slevin I forgot how good this movie was. What an incredible cast - in addition to the leads you had Freeman, Kingsley, Aiello, Tucci, and Stoll. Hartnett should have been a bigger star, on par with Affleck and Damon. Not sure what happened there. Even Lucy Liu was good and I usually find her annoying. She and Hartnett had great chemistry. I think at the time, the mid-2000s, people became weary of the all too clever dialogue that this movie had but watching it in the 2020s it's a refreshing change of pace.

  9. Vanderbilt just remembered that they're Vanderbilt.

  11. Love this genre. "Freaky" with Vince Vaughn was more funny than scary but good. There's an old movie with Alex Guinness called "Mute Witness" that's really good. The first half is a really strong slasher film and the second half is an okay murder thriller/comedy. Weird mix. Funny thing is that they filmed Guinness's scenes years earlier and filmed the rest of the movie after he died. "My Best Friends Exorcism" on Prime right now is awful. Not funny, not scary. Don't watch it.

  13. Excellent so far.
  14. Can't hate a playa for shootin' his shot. I will hate a playa for being aggy.
  15. More violent. It's mitigated by the fact that Werewolf is in b&w, so it doesn't look as bad.
  16. Werewolf by Night was pretty good. Probably the most violent thing Disney Marvel has ever put out, but still pretty damn tame. Not sure where they're going with this. I wish they would have done a better job making it look more like film. It was obviously digital. I don't know all the technical details but I feel like I've seen more film-like digital from YouTubers, albeit very skilled YouTubers. Granted, YouTube is extremely compressed so there's that.
  17. I think he's really talented.

    Vivid Dreams

    Had a super vivid dream last night. It was a Brady Bunch reunion. I was Bobby in the dream. Started innocent enough, but then descended into a Salo-type orgy of decadence and brutality. It was pretty bad. Marcia was a FREAK.
  19. Milroe would be crushed under VY's jockstrap. He's a deer in the headlights. Completely indecisive, can't pull the trigger on throwing the ball or running the ball. And he carries the ball like a bag of potato chips.
  20. As much as I like that movie, it isn't exactly an example of tight storytelling. I will not be seeing Blonde.

    I have to say, I'm absolutely loving this Pure Aero. It's the 2023 version which is softer than previous. Strung with poly (44 lbs, thanks for the tip @troph) to go easy on my arm. I'm spinning the ball like a maniac. It's like a completely different game than I played as a kid when I used to use a Head Graphite Edge. And something in my backhand clicked. I'm hitting it well and the pain has gone away.

    One Wheel

    Here in San Francisco on the weekends they have these big group rides of electric vehicles - bikes, scooters and unicycles. No Onewheels because they can't keep up. There used to be some Onewheels but those riders switched to get more speed. Same thing happens in NYC, LA and other big cities.
