    The Rook

    I enjoyed this dopey, super-secret-spy-organization thriller. Attractive cast, hackneyed premise (that's okay), beautiful cinematography, X-men vibe, and clearly the first part of a (hopefully continuing) story. Lead actress isn't the best. She's anorexic and kind of hot, but when she is called...

    Pennyworth

    I am watching it. LOVE: -the build-up in the first 3 episodes. The weird pastiche of artsy/film noir/60's-psychedelic/bond. -the acting -the sets -the peculiar immorality/nihilism -the "quick-cuts" of either intense foreshadowing or just plain wackiness (like when they showed the "dog...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I swear I am ready to give up on my Switch. I bought a pro controller because there was no way I was progressing on Hollow Knight with the Joy-con controller. Then I was given Breath of the Wild. And, while that game is fun-- I am kind of a spazz at it too. Also, I am not sure I have the...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    There was a massive traffic jam 2 days ago that significantly delayed my trip home. An enormous amount of road-construction, coupled with the opening of schools, I thought, created a perfect storm that I could not get around using my usual side-road alternatives. I assumed an accident...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    He also did the Star Trek reboot movies which were, IMHO, awful, derivative, brainless and wholly un-Roddenberry. M Knight made some good movies in the beginning too...

    Scenes from movies that make you cry?

    Most recently? It was a TV show and I can't believe I really cried... OK-- spoiler ahead. so stop reading now if you don't know. Also, feel free to thrash me as I am unequivocally ashamed that I did cry (but then I got mad). Last episode of "Veronica Mars" season 4. Can't remember ever...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I just had a meeting at a company with someone who is pretty inexperienced in her job. Their organization was requesting a large project be constructed. I don't have to take their work. I don't need it (or really want to be involved with them). But it is a moderate sized project (which their...

    The Expanse

    Awesome!!!! I finished book 8 and am waiting for book 9. Expanse is one of the best sci-fi series (novels and TV) period.

    The Fast Food Thread

    We just got a smashburger nearby. Three of us had a classic smash. We also had smash tots, sweet potato fries and smash fries. 2 milk shakes (no malteds; we asked). The burgers were okay but TINY. The sweet potato fries were good. The smash fries were greasy and overly flavored with...

    Watchmen

    Wow. Does this ever look BAD... I think there is a film school in New York that has an assignment to make a trailer of a film cross-genre (google "The Shining Trailer Comedy" if you want to see what I am talking about an get a good laugh). But, back to the point-- how hard is it to make a...

    Swamp Thing

    I am 5 episodes in and this show is a shit-ton of fun. A true horror show too. Yeah, the infectious disease stuff is pure stupidity. Abby takes some serious risks with potentially deadly toxic agents and doesn't even wear gloves. But damn, she's hot. I bet she can act, but her medical...
