Season 1 of Pecemaker was good up until the very end, so I'm excited for Season 2. Cena's such an underrated comedic actor. Creature Commandos was an absolute mess that felt like it was written by a horny 13-year old.


I would say somewhere in-between. He sort of can't help himself with some of the unnecessary quips and humor, and it felt odd in certain moments. It's like a continuation of the Joss Whedon formula where they can't let a scene rest on its own without a quip. The film was well-acted and well-cast, sometimes you have to let him do their thing. Not nearly as atrocious and immature as Taika Waititi though. And I'll agree about Creature Commandos. It was an amusing romp but pretty dumb.

Anyone got any good non IP film recommendations? That new horror movie with Brie/Franco looked interesting. Astor is kind of a mixed bag and I'm kind of sick of Pedro Pascal so not sure if I want to give Eddington a shot.

My favorites from this year are probably (in order) 28 Years Later, Black Bag, Sinners, Companion, and Mickey 17.

Black Bag was very good. I also enjoyed Sleeping Dogs with Russell Crowe but I'm admittedly a big fan of his. Reptile was good as well.

I haven't seen Black Bag yet, but when I saw Soderbergh spy thriller 93 minutes I was sold.

Would strongly recommend 28 Years Later and Sinners. Those are two of my favorite films of the last few years for sure.

Just rounding up the last month for me. I really liked where Bear S4 landed, 28 Years Later was awesome, F1 was a lot of fun, The Summer Hikaru Died is the best anime I've seen this year, I'm currently watching The Knick, and I'm thinking about Waterworld this morning.

New season of South Park started off with an epic episode. I am still laughing. Trey and Matt have huge marbles.

Finally got around to watching the new Final Destination movie. Pretty fun entry in the series.

The Tony Todd monologue was beautiful. Something you’d never expect out of a movie like that. RIP to an absolute king.

Watched the first half of Sinners and thought it was pretty boring. I'll finish it today or tomorrow. Given all the hype I've seen I'm assuming the second half is better.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Watching Dear Child (German limited series) on Netflix and it’s pretty damn good.

Second half was good. I don't like the horror genre for the most part but this was pretty well done. I jumped a few times, something I never do with horror films.

I wish they would’ve used two different actors for Smoke and Stack, there was just too much uncanny valley with MBJ playing both of them.

Finished Dexter Original Sin. Excited for season 2 actually.

Started Dexter Resurrection. Not amazing, but not bad.

I REALLY hoped Happy Gilmore 2 wasn’t going to be absolutely terrible. Alas….

It was about as expected for me. Got a couple of laughs but pretty forgettable. Thought the golfers and Bad Bunny were the best of the (way too many) cameos.
