ok, my counteroffer:
you can't have a bentley but you can have a Morgan
View attachment 14846

My neighbor had that exact Morgan (well, it was ~rouge) for a couple of years, parked in his driveway. He always bought/buys cars in need of some work, tinkers with them for a couple of years, and sells them never-finished.

i agree with shorty about the kill bills sucking in a special way so, given that i am a genius of cinema ..
I only saw the first Kill Bill and I didn't like it. That said, some other Quentin Tarantino movies grew on me with repeat viewings.

Anyway I thought "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood" was great!

Lavalantula 5/10

Mentioned it in another thread and had to watch it just because not watching it would be like driving past an accident without rubbernecking. Horrible acting and the cheesiest special effects imaginable, it's a worthy competitor to Sharknado and achieves "so bad it's actually kind of good" status. Stars Steve Guttenberg and has a bunch of the old Police Academy gang in it. Too bad Tackleberry died, he would have been perfect for a film like this.

I know Lost In Space isnt the most popular series in the world, but I really like it.
Season 2 is OK so far. It looks like its got some weird plot twists such as a government conspiracy, and Doctor Smith is batshit like always.
The Robot is still not part of the gang even though his actor is listed as part of the main cast.

im skip-watching season 1 of Marverl's The Punisher (TV) and i got halfway through the second episode before i realized i had watched this already. Now since i remember most of the scenes from Shadows & Fog seen a single time in 1991, i would say i cope well with forgettable plots, but jesus this is cookie-cutter on another level.
Thing is, i saw some clips on youtube, and they seemed much better, did they make a different series?

Hobbs and Shaw - 6/10 - it was entertaining and fun but a bit too over the top. If the Rock wasn't in it I probably would have given it a lower score. And Jason Statham annoys me too.

If anyone cares the Witchcraft series is up to 16 at this point.
And they all suck.

Internet says The Grudge is coming in 2020, I'm guessing because original ideas dont make as much money as nostalgia.

Robot & Frank was surprisingly good, if you want a heartwarming tale that also involves grand larceny.
I finally saw Dredd. It was far from bad but not quite up there in Good territory either. Probably closer to the comics than the Stallone Shit from 1995.
I watched Trees Lounge for the first time since 1996. I appreciate how much work Steve Buscemi puts into narrative and character building, but the story is quite lacking.

Blue Ruin is excellent, and should be seen by everyone. Especially if you're really pissed off at someone right now.

The Eddie Murphy episode of SNL was alright. Not as funny as it should have been. Recommend watching anyway, especially if you preferred the old show to the new show.

Dredd is one of the few movies where 3D really added a lot.

Holy crap, only 7 months for all the post-production? Who the hell thought that was even possible?

Star Wars Episode IX - 7/10. So much better than TLJ. No stupid/pointless side-missions or dumb characters doing dumb things with dumb stuff.

Witcher 3 is much, much better than the first game. The game engine and gameplay are extremely clunky in the first game. I have started it a couple of times and quit out within a few hours each time. I would highly recommend Witcher 3 though, have finished it twice.

As for the TV episodes, havent watched any of them yet, but I just cannot imagine Henry Cavill as the Witcher. He has been horrible in every movie I have watched him in.
Each successive Witcher game was a dramatic improvement on the first and that's not to see that any of them were bad, they weren't, just really impressive growth throughout.

I love the books, too. The show is an adaption of the books and plans to ignore the games (thus far). HC had a solid Geralt look and voice, but he doesn't really have any acting chops of which to speak (but he's a huge fan of the series having read the books and played the games and then lobbied hard for the role when he heard it was in the works so I give him some points for that).

I didn't care much for the casting of Yennefer. The show also has a large soap opera production feel to me (hard for me to articulate). Overall, I enjoyed it because I love the universe, but if I was Witcher naive, it would be meh at best from me. Put this next to GoT, True Detective, Westworld and it's not even close (I know the experience levels are massive), but even compared to season 2 of LoS Netflix just released I think it falls a little short.

Shrug, still looking forward to a second season I just hope it doesn't take 2 years. These incredibly long production times between seasons makes me nuts (I can barely remember what happened in season 2 of Westworld).

i will consider it.

Social Media in general are quite happy with Cavill, at least the way he looks. Many a woman has reported cases of exploding ovaries.
He's only shirtless like twice in the whole series unfortunately. I'm a straight man, but damn, HC is good looking.

Lost ins Space - Season 2 @ Netflix.

Liking it so far. Dr.Smith her mischievous self as always.
I thought Dr Smith was more tolerable this season than last. Posey drives me a little nuts, but I think that's the point. Definitely enjoyed S2.

I plan to watch at least the first few episodes on Netflix at least, to see how I like it.

Rise of Skywalker 3/10


Wtf did I just watch. No, it was not by choice.

I think I am going to refer to this trilogy as Fruit Loops Trilogy.
