American Nightmare (Documentary) re kidnapping in CA. Would recommend. Just three episodes.
Griselda - If you were hooked or ever watched the documentary Cocaine Cowboys, this is a good dramatization of that time period in @creepycoug Miami. Sofia Vergara has some nice tits and some other tits to see. A fair amount of subtitles though for predominantly Spanish. Me no likey read on tv. Me demand English. "Merica! Would recommend.
Dumb Money (Netflix) - About the GameStop stock market deal from a couple years ago. I'd recommend. Not a best picture nominee but interesting take on what transpired.
John Wick - Chapter 4 - Almost three hours of action and stunts. No damsel in distress, just bodies getting stacked in unique interesting ways. Loved it.
Field of Dreams. I don't think I've ever seen it from start to finish. Probably tried to rent it when I was in high school but probably thought it was dumb.
Costner has to be up there for the most sports movies made as an actor. Field of Dreams, Bull Durham, Love of the Game and Draft Day.
Haven't seen FoD for a while. Read the book (Shoeless Joe) in high school after watching the movie. I don't think I've watched any of the others all the way through. It felt like Field of Dreams was on pretty good rotation on TBS or Sunday Night Movies through much of the 90's.
James Earl Jones has been in a decent amount of sports movies. FoD, The Sandlot, The Great White Hope, and some random The Bingo Long Travelling All Stars (baseball).
FOD was great. Saw it when it first came out and it made me long for the simple days of Little League.
But there probably isn't a better scene than Crash ("close the door") Davis being told he's being let go from the single-A Durham Bulls team after "Nuke" gets called up to the show in Bull Durham.
Every competitive athlete eventually plays his last game, runs his last race, or wrestles his last match, and has to face the reality that their lifelong pursuit of their dream is over. The music, the rain, and the plot always grip me by the throat whenever I see it. No more Glory Days is a hard, but necessary bump in the road for everyone. (At least until those 10 & 20 year reunion hook-ups, that bring it all back for a night or two).
Then there's that awesome scene where Annie barges into Crash's apartment and he finally says "if a guy thinks he's winning because he's wearing women's underwear THEN HE IS! AND YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT ANNIE!"
I just went through Costner’s IMDb and he’s got 2 others I never heard of. One called Chasing Dreams, a baseball movie released in 89 (same year as FOD) and another called McFarland, USA about a football coach turned cross country/track coach from 2015.
paradise was an interesting concept kind of a new twist on that old movie with Justin Timberlake where your lives ran out and you died. Plot has some holes but go in with low expectations and it’s worth the watch
Watched last years Oscar winner, Everything, Everywhere All at Once - It was alright. Messaging probably could have been accomplished in a half hour film. Most of it seemed like filler.
In case you missed it jw 4 was on the list of movies with death, destruction, and violence that I watched non-stop on the day after dedouche announce he was leaving. It definitely did the trick.
first movie was “Save Yourselves”. Save yourselves from watching this turd sammich. Had some funny parts, but total turd.
Killers of the Flower Moon. Decent. I didn’t know much about the history of it. Kind of like Goodfellas but with Indians
The Holdovers. All I could hear was Giamatti and Chuck Rhoads. Didn’t pan out like I thought it would. Decent enough.
I am in the middle of Season 3 of the X Files. Still holds up for the most part, except for the technology being way behind today’s technology. Picking up ladies in chat rooms and being nervous about meeting a guy from a chat room? Today that happens everyday.
When JW4 paid homage to The Warriors, I just about, no, I did lose it. Had I seen it in the theater, I would have been that guy yelling and dropping 'holy shit' and 'fuck yeah' in the theater with no shame.
Pretty decent comedy. Don't really think it's a rom com, more coming of age. About the most Cal-esque fucking vibe in a film. Had never heard of the term 'Rice King's before.
The Natural. I love this movie despite so many holes in the plot. I read the book a long time ago and can’t remember how many of those holes get covered in the book.
As a side piece of criticism, couldn’t the casting director find a kid who knew how to throw for the final scene?
It was on HBO every other day in 1977. Never saw despite it being PG but we always heard it was more adult humor The humor probably would have gone over my head as an 8 year old anyway.
Comments
I like it. My nephew likes it. I am easily entertained and I am a completist so I of course have to watch it.
I watched 3 episodes of season one tonight - will continue tomorrow unless MrsIamNotinLebam has other plans
Watching the Lincoln Lawyer. One of the best movies of all time.
Netflix:

I watched it.
Go get a fucking firearm.
One more Griselda Episode to go, so don't ruin it.
Cocaine Dealers are all assholes, just like most Cocaine users & abusers I've known.
Sorry @Swaye, it may be fun, but you also know it's true.

So I gotta give the nod to Bull Durham.

That gives him 8 sports movies.
Dumb Money was pretty good.

There’s a scene in The Natural where the national anthem is being played and the team is singing. I burst out “hey, it’s Enrique Palazzo!”
