Predator 2
Every Thanksgiving, we would go to the movies with friends. This was one we skipped in 1990 as there just wasn’t anything good out enough to see. Well, 35 years later I finally watched it. Decent enough. Classic Bill Paxton. Nude Teri Weigel. Maria Conchita Alonso was still looking good. But had to use CC for Danny Glover and his mush mouth delivery.

An underrated part of the death of TV and movie comedy is that we're now constantly exposed to little laughs from Twitter, TikTok, etc. That shit kind of replaced having to get our day to day laughs from repeating shit like "my wife" in Borat voice every 30 minutes, sadly.

This movie scared the absolute shit out of me when I was a kid. I blame USA, TNT, and those networks for just broadcasting terrifying movies all day every day that any kid could watch with just the most violent parts edited out. Before I saw Predator 2 I was actually scared by kids on the playground simply describing the kills in the movie.
Another underrated scary part of the Predator movies was it was alpha soldier dudes in the first getting killed and then gangsters and cops in the second. That extra messed up a young Woolley. It felt like those are the guys who were supposed to save you.

Saturn 3
Kirk Douglas and Farrah Fawcett on a moon where Harvey Keitel builds a robot. Kind of like Alien in the premise. Some boobs with prime Farrah Fawcett. Kind of dated but had never seen it so it was a quick 88 minutes.

Of all the Predator sequels/franchise movies, this might be the best of them.

Visiting mom means sitting around and watching movies.
Terminator 2. Hadn’t seen it since it was in the theaters. Wry good sequel. I kind of missed how ran through Sarah Connor was after she got knocked up. She bounced from guy to guy. And the kid was a little more whiny than I remembered
Elevation. Anthony Mackie and Morena Baccarin in a Quiet Place type of movie where the aliens cannot go above 8000’ but of course they must go below that line to get supplies.The 5th Wave. An alien invasion movie with Chloe Grace Moretz. Maggie Siff and Ron Livingston have small roles.

Watched Live and Die in LA. I’ve heard Bill Simmons say there was a ton of cocaine in Hollywood in the 70s and 80s and this movie does nothing to make me think he’s wrong.

I started watching Long Bright River or I think that's what it's called, completely shitty name for this cop drama/miniseries on Peacock.
It's been a decent distraction since Max decided that they don't want to make shows like this anymore. Amanda Seyfried is the main character/investigator with the usual depressing single mom stuff but overall this isn't any worse than the euro trash mini-series that Netflix keeps ordering from Sweden/Norway.

Completed the Kingsman trilogy over the weekend. I’d seen the first 2 movies but not the newer one which is set around WWI.
Nothing special.

Tend to agree.
Much prefer Guy Richie’s stuff. The Gentleman ( both the movie and the Netflix series) and Snatch.
Kingsman is fine, just fine. Like a CGI James Bond wannabe series. Not a huge fan of the slow mo Matrix genre.
Except in The Matrix
