So what RS's lists have shown me is that I watched just about every movie released in the early to mid 2000s.. after 2007, not so much. Apparently graduating college and having to be adultish has seriously curbed my cinematic mojo

Can't recommend Big Mouth like I did American Vandal, but it's still good for a chuckle. How much you enjoy it will probably depend on how much Jason Mantzoukas you can take; he's basically playing an animated version of his characters from Brooklyn 99 and The League.

I highly recommend Manhunt: The Unabomber if you haven't seen it. It's on Netflix. I'm not usually into true crime but it's fascinating stuff.

I cancelled my Times subscription and have no idea if this is real. Is this real?

Season 3 of Fear the Walking Dead has been outstanding.

Indeed. Heartbreaking on many levels, actually.

Not surprised. He had a terrible reputation in Hollywood for the way he treated people.

It was ok. Very very slow at times and did not need to be almost 3 hours long.

Haven't seen it yet but they are marketing this thing like a sci-fi action movie which I am sure it isn't. I could see people getting turned off by that.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/05/us/harvey-weinstein-harassment-allegations.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=a-lede-package-region&region=top-news&WT.nav=top-news

He is now also, a day after all but admitting to the whole thing, suing the NYT.

I mean after an article like that they could literally parade 100 women to the stand that would publicly, ON RECORD, destroy him. I have no idea why he would sue them, even if a few of the allegations were overstated. The fact that they were challenged on parts of the story before publication but kept them in likely means the NYT legal team believes they have suitable documentation to include it in the story.

Either way, its pretty gross. Then again, Roman Polanski came of age in the same time period and he essentially maintains he did nothing wrong (after admitting to drugging a 13 year old girl and sodomizing her without her consent). I wish dinosaurs understood that the world has corrected such horrifying timea and if they ever believed it was ok to behave as such they were very clearly mistaken. The fact that "no new allegations have occurred in the last year" is completely immaterial to me.

The board convened hours after the publication of an investigation in The New York Times detailing allegations of sexual harassment of actresses Ashley Judd and Rose McGowan, as well as former female assistants and TWC employees.

In addition to Harvey and Bob Weinstein, the TWC board include Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Marc Lasry, financier Tarak Ben Ammar and hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones, as well as Richard Koenigsberg, Lance Maerov, Tim Sarnoff and Dirk Ziff. The board members are said to have challenged Harvey Weinstein directly, and the mogul fired back that he will survive the scandal.

Dirk Ziff is definitely a name Calvin made up.

Semi-random, but does anyone know why the Blade Runner: The Final Cut Blu-Ray seems ludicrously hard to acquire? It takes a month to ship from Amazon. I lucked out and found the only 4k + Blu-Ray copy at Best Buy and paid $30 for it. Felt like it was a steep price, but it's $41 on Amazon. Not sure if it's sold incredibly well due to the sequel hype, or if there's a weird rights and distribution issue.

Is this it or am I going nuts? It wasn't hard to find at all.

EDIT: I guess it does say "shipping in 1-4 weeks" but it's $9.99.

Yeah, it isn't Prime but says it's Prime. Kind of weird.
