Good news for us Wednesday fans. https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/wednesday-season-2-renewed Funny. At first I really wasn't expecting much from this series, but I've been turned into a fan.

Poe actually was at West Point. Interesting that they tie that in. https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/the-pale-blue-eye-true-story-49056186 "The real Poe really did enlist in the US Army in 1827 under the alias "Edgar A. Perry" at age 18. While he transferred between Massachusetts, South...

The Pale Blue Eye (2022) Anything with Christian Bale is usually something I want to see. He's one of the best. It's good that films like this are even being made these days..... I can understand why its rating is kinda low, no explosions, no car chases, no slam-bang action. Also seems about...

Recently binge-watched Wednesday. Cute. I kinda like it. Definitely aimed at a younger demographic I think. Reminds me of a Grimm-lite monster of the week kinda thing. Remember Grimm? Also watching Stranger Things. Dang those kidz are annoying ;-) I almost gave up on it but I'm glad I didn't...

There should be year around school. Having said that it could be arranged in a satisfactory manner on the calendar so that kids get a summer. To me it's crazy to have anyone go back to school before Labor Day.

Wait! No Time to Die is the James Bond movie where he dies? :)

Yeah. It's just too coincidental. They can't let that angle pass by without getting something out of it. I just had an idea..... let it go, no mention of it..... until the final scene of the series. Final scene: She gets a phone call and the dialogue clues the viewers in that she was a spy...

C'mon nah ! Lithgow and Bridges are now united in finding his daughter..... who we found out is not really his daughter, biologically speaking. That was a question answered: who is Angela Adams, really? She's the daughter of the Warlord. But she's also a "daughter" to both of them. That was a...

I just watched it. Thought it was pretty good! Sci-fi alien meets plains Indians. Maybe a double-bill with Cowboys & Aliens is in order. Didn't think it was all that woke. The premise with the girl wanting to be a warrior and go on a hunt is.... sort of plausible. Indian tribes were pretty...

I've been in the Bradbury building. It's quite a sight with all that railing and the steps, etc. In person it looks very little like it does in Blade Runner. You can see it's the same place obviously, but they did a great job on set decoration in that film.

Harrison Ford said he couldn't take the voice-over's seriously and purposely did them badly (so the director would not use them). I'd imagine the German guy was 'taking it seriously' and doing as good a job as he could, so it would/should be a lot better than Ford's, IMO. I don't understand...

The Gray Man. I watched it the other night. My thoughts: Entertaining in a dumb way. Not as high a body count as the John Wick movies if you like that kinda thing, but he kills a lot of bad guys in creative ways. This is fantasy but it's grounded a little more in reality (but not much more)...

I watched the first three or four episodes and really liked it but, (the ever present, but ;-)....... it seemed to get cartoon-y in it's bashing of Republicans or "the system" or whatever. Not that I mind bashing on politicians of any stripe, I don't. But it changed somehow. Started strong and...

Geez.... I liked The Old Man. Yes, there were several "willing suspension of disbelief" moments but it's entertainment, not a class in logic.

I watched the first two episodes of Dark Winds. Again I think someone here mentioned it so I'm checking it out. So far I like it, my main issue is that the writers are throwing a lot of stuff at the viewer very quickly. Not sure how much is misdirection and how much is integral to the plot. Do...
