wading in to poor things. thought it was a movie but might end up a mini series. a lot to take in.
might go see dune 2 on tuesday afternoon. never read it. dont really care about it. was underwhelmed by part 1 but am going to be downtown and looked to see what was playing and at theatre i was considering was $8 for a 1pm showing (no lux recliners!). also previously had the thought that to do it justice it might be better to see it in a theater. so all the dots were lining up.
anybody care about this? whither tom moody to tell us why the source material is just some mid century fascist manifestation? honestly that breathing aparatus i find distracting though its obviously baked in to the source material. also as yet unconvinced zendaya/chalamet are much beyond pretty faces. maybe ive just aged out.
aiiiiiiiii

just saw a trailer for a michael douglas as ben franklin series on apple and im gonna say its more like michael douglas playing michael douglas dressed in period clothing.
That RFK JR ad was a standout
new mega sports streaming app launching soon. unclear how much it will actually offer nor how much it will cost.
thinking of buying a submersible superyacht but im worried about parking.
good start for mr and mrs smith on amazon despite the fact that amazon now wants to extort an extra 3 bucks a month for an ad free experience.

watched ferrari, michael manns latest. little disappointing in that it never really makes you care about its central character but purrs along and is always a pleasure to look at.

just watched this because it's a cold snowy day. It was ok, pretty good. But at the end they did the outtakes montage. Was wondering out loud when that started and it was suggested that it began with The Pink Panther.
Then again there is the post script update thing they did with American Grafitt which was set far enough in the past to have an update on the lives and deaths within the fictional cast. RIP John Milner and Terry Fields was MIA in Nam.
real bad, but I loved it mostly
