    Cat Person (2023)

    I posted about it in "Movies I Have Watched Recently." As much as it had enormous potential, it suffered from being poorly directed. The story is controversially ambivalent as it depicts a pretty transparent perspective of toxic feminism. But it also shows how nice, heterosexual men who resort...

    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14647404/ Cat Person-- Even though it is a flawed film with, at times, painful direction, it should be required viewing. by everyone. I am surprised at the level of transparency with which it deals with toxic feminism. Being an average, or in-fact, an above...

    Alien: Earth

    As I said-- it takes human beings to fuck up something this badly. As detailed and correct as your observations are, there are probably 20-fold inconsistencies and 100-fold stupidities in that awful film. It angers me just thinking of how badly they fucked-up the Alien universe. I recall being...

    Alien: Earth

    BUT-- no one needed to see Ripley in her super-tiny panties! But, in fact, being an extraordinary character AND being sexy and being female AND enjoying lingerie is the perfect storm. Even Arnold never pulled that off. And he never can. It is one of the innate tenets of being female. Thank God...

    Alien: Earth

    PS- it's okay to have gay and trans characters if they add or are essential to the story. Velazquez is a great example of that. It's when you have to add characters into a story based on a predetermined ration (a la most of Netflix's universe these days). It's even MORE annoying when, in the...

    Alien: Earth

    Prometheus could never have been a good film... No way. Alien is among "the greats" in horror/science fiction cinema. A substantial part of that was involving H.R. Giger in the Alien design and "biomechanics." Giger was a (albeit heroin-addicted) genius. Aliens, however, is also among the...

    Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning. Not bad - maybe it was great. I honestly couldn't tell-- I just kind of got lost in some of it. It was almost OVER stimulation with the constant action. Amazing what Tom Cruise can do at age 60. Plus his not model hot, but amazingly attractive/sexy...

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    I thought she was the pornstar I sat next to on a flight to Portland once. But it was Jessica James... She was good enough company. And there was almost no talk of sex (except she did tell me she was an "adult entertainer" or something like that). Ironically, she was found dead in her...

    Reacher

    Although I have not read nearly all of the Jack Reacher novels, I've gone through over a half dozen of them. Persuader, was my least favorite. Probably because it is NOT a Jack Reacher solo story. He always seems to be working for some other motivation than "Reacher justice." (ie., for the DEA...

    Reacher

    I really dug the over-the-top New York cop (with a hyperbolic Joisey accent). No spoilers, but if they choose a solo-Reacher novel, he won't be coming back!

    Reacher

    Don't let silly details ruin the show! I noticed this season a whole lot of "talking my whole plan through and wasting a lot of time when I could have just shot you" a la Scooby Doo. That still didn't bother me. It's sort of a "Die Hard" formula. If you focus on the action, characters and...

    The show is great. Stealing from the movie “Twins:” “I love it when you hit people!” Completely enjoyable.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Well, it seems that the Nexens were one of the few choices for the 19" (235/35ZR19) wheel, because (truthfully) those are bad dimensions for a snow tire. The better, smarter option is have an 18" wheel set for the R. Blizzak won't make a 235/35ZR19. When they stretched the first snow tire onto...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    It would have been over $2000 for the new 18" blizzak set. They gave me a little off from the original purhase price and did not charge me for the multiple rims and tires blown in the process. So I stuck with them. No more blowouts adn a few hundred snow miles on them now. I won't buy the...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    FYI-- update on the Nexen tires that I have been so "so-so" regarding. Realistically, 99% of the driving I have been doing is on roads and highways in dry or rain. They drive a little rough on bumpy roads and are "okay" as performance tires on the highway in winter. They are a little on the...

    The one saving grace for BK is consistency. Even if that consistency kinda sucks. Personally, I think they make one great product; the Whopper Junior. It is a snack size, perfectly proportioned, sweet, and has actual vegetables on it (as opposed to re-hydrated crap). Their app used to give stuff...

    Alien: Earth

    Noah Hawley has his occasions of brilliance, but he cannot hold a complicated tale together. I thought Legion was on it's way to becoming a once in a generation bit of genius writing. But he writes like a juggler trying to keep to many balls in the air and it all falls apart.

    Saltburn (2023)

    Central character is (presumably) downtrodden working class. He's gay (or at least a closeted gay). The upper class are just wealthy. They have no ambitions or meaning to exist except to employ (essentially) white-slave butlers and gardeners. There is at least one person of color (who is also...
