But I don’t think this one will be streaming any time soon. Avoiding spoilers is going to be impossible.

A masterpiece as far as these type of movies go. Highly recommend.

Just finished watching "Cowboy Beebop" - never watched the Anime series before and still REALLY thought the new real live show is good! Very fun and the music is the cherry on top!
The Witcher Season 2 has acutally been more than decent! The first season was a little moot I thought but the cast and story really performed well now! So also if you are into Fantasy, something to watch!

I personally loved Dune - amazing time watching it in the cinema - Timothy Challamet is a very good actor (actually another Netflix movie to watch "The King" - where he is exceptional!)
The new Bond honestly was a BIG disappointment to me... just not a Bond movie from the feel to me!
The Last Duel... hmmm... just watched it on Disney+ and really gotta say its been so-so at best... just did not catch me!

Now next up these days - Spiderman in the cinema on the 26th and Eternals on Disney+ on Jan 12th. I missed that one in the cinemas...

Other than that... HAPPY Xmas guys!!! Keep sane in these stressful times!!! I really hope that this Omicron thing is turning out to be a blessing in disguis because if not we are ****ed!

I watched the Cowboy Bebop anime several times and I can say the live action show didn't quite live up to it. The Netflix show is mediocre while the anime is one of the all time greats. I'm diving into the Witcher now. I thought season one was solid. I agree, Dune was good. Honestly, you could make a trilogy just using the first book, so I appreciated the movie's pacing. Also, it might be the most visual striking movie of the year.

I think a problem Dune faces is that several popular science fiction movies, including Star Wars, have taken ideas from it and it's tough to do a straight retelling without audiences thinking it's unoriginal. That and the book the first book is friggin long. One criticism I have is that I feel the should've chosen a better ending point. Also, I think they could've done a better job explaining spice's importance. Yeah, space travel is the major reason, but spice is important to nearly every trade and sect in the universe for varying reasons.

Used my theater’s website to find a sparsely populated showing of Spider-Man. Took a few days to find one.

Double-masked it, including a tight fitting N95 mask. Vax + boost.

9 out of 10. You won’t hear any spoilers from me. Made me feel feelings.

A welcome return to “normalcy” for a couple of hours.

The Knicks and the MCU are heavy hitters for me the last 2 years.

nice

Just finished season 1 and my first thought is… WTF DID I JUST WATCH?!? But in a good way, I think.

Season 2 arrives next month.

Recommended if you like sci-fi.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to S2. Starts off very slow, but picks up and then ends on a WTF! cliffhanger. I know Ridley Scott is only the executive producer but it's got his fingerprints all over it. A good watch if your into hard science fiction.
Peacemaker is effin' awesome. It's got the usual James Gunn quirks, but it definitely takes a different path than the other comic book television shows that have been released the past year.
Lastly, The Righteous Gemstones is just outright funny. Imagine Succession, but with Kenny Powers from Eastbound and Down in the Kendal role.

I didn’t care for Peacemaker character in Suicide Squad movie, but the Peacemaker series is changing my mind.

Oh, and Jennifer Holland is HOT!

Yeah, James Gunn snatches her up quick I can imagine him with this big ass smile when he wrote that bra and panties scene🤣

Yo! Spoilers man! I want the full effect when I see the bra and panties scene for the 1st time! Is it Phoebe Cates walking out of pool level? No No no....don't answer that.

ToddTT wrote:No spoiler. It’s Peacemaker in the bra and panties. Doh! Sorry.

Stop messing around. It was Eagly and it was a thong.

ToddTT wrote:Book of Boba Fett is hot garbage.

But holy moly was today's episode awesome!

I wouldn't call it garbage, but aggressively mediocre. I haven't seen the last episode yet, but several people have told me I'll like it. I will say Jennifer Beals looks really good for 58.
