Watched The Boys in the Boat last night - good movie for a Doog, loved how Cal had to help pay for the trip. Too many swaztikas for my blood - peace and harmony
I know there is a separate thread but am too lazy to look
I can already see it getting shitty. Tea Leoni an Garry Shandling episode was the writing on the wall. And the Kathy Griffin confirmed it. But I am a completist so I will carry on. Just a bit slower.
There's definitely parts that were great and the general idea, if you ignore the messaging, was very unique. Enjoyable if you're a millennial/Gen Z. Everyone else will hate it for the message alone.
The killer and the lead guy were the biggest differences in my memory. Red Dragon just threw a couple of big names at it and I never bought in to either character.
Gregory Peck in Po'Chop Hill - disgustingly reflects a political war, fighting over nothing. Good movie. No tits, lots of hand grenades, heavy artillery, and blood and guts.
Another one where when reading the true story about the battles was amazingly accurate.
Wiki's description of the battle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Pork_Chop_Hill
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. A few generations into the future after Caesar. If you like the ape movies, then it is for you. And the ending allows for more ape against human movies.
District 9. One of those movies that sucks you and you have to complete it.
Started For Those about to Die on the cock. Anthony Hopkins plays the Emperor who is building the Los Angels Coliseum. The 4 factions that control the Circus Maximus are not happy that the Emperor is giving the Coliseum to the people
Its a 2024 look at Rome so be prepared for women to be strong and the dudes to be gay or morons. It is what it is
Episode 1 is a chariot race at Circus Maximus that looks like Ben Hur only worse. Probably shouldn't have gone there
I'll probably keep watching since it is Rome. That's the only reason. Hopkins looks like he's about to die
Basically a setup episode with almost no action and then you'll just have to wait til end of 2025 at the earliest to see what happens next.
Now we get a Penguin spin-off that no one asked for.
What the fuck good is HBO for nowadays? The play to become a full streaming platform with lazy documentaries and original content taking a backseat has backfired on them horribly. They should be begging the Tokyo Vice/Mare of Easttown creators to come back.

It's obvious they were having a hard time keeping it going with a straight face. 7 seasons is usually too many. 9 is just being stubborn.

Watched Raise the Titanic last night. I wouldn’t recommend it but I’d watched it as a kid and it’s on Prime so I watched it for nostalgia.
The Devil's Brigade - damn good WW2 movie. Kind of the first special forces guys.
The true story is a good read https://warfarehistorynetwork.com/article/what-the-devils-brigade-did-in-world-war-ii/
Manhunter.
Better than Red Dragon. Cast much, much better for almost all characters.

40 Year Old Virgin.
This Apatow flick definitely held up better than Superbad.

District 9 kicks ass
Went to the actual theater and saw Deadpool 3 (Wolverine). It had its moments. General plot was meh.
Can't seem to remember what I saw on the plane.
Latest season of Game of Thrones prequel show ended last night. Not a bad season. Highlights were tits, and dragons eating shitty poor people.

The Throbber likes more dragons but, honestly, no fucking idea what is going on in that show. Fell asleep during a couple episodes early.
Challengers. Pretty good. I wasn't a fan of Zendaya but her character in this made me lol a few times.
Also, the score in this movie was really, really good.
Took another step back in time for a comedy - Monty Python's The Meaning of Life - funny as hell - nothing is sacred in comedy back in those days
Good movie for 1982? maybe 83? Tits, Sex, diversity, drag, you name it and it is there. and it's a musical, kind of.
Streamed 'Knox Goes Away' on Max. Michael Keaton (Starring and directing) and Al Pacino give solid performances in this one, I enjoyed it.
Were you entertained then ?
LA Coliseum made me laff.
