You're the kind of guy that leaves a sporting event early after watching 95% of it just because your team might not win, aren't you?

nope.  but i am the kind of guy who would walk out of a show if it really, really stinks and i'm not enjoying myself.  i would also warn others that the show stinks and is best avoided - even if previous editions/episodes/incarnations were excellent.

Whoa. Coming in strong against The Touch.

Forced to watch Spider-Man against my will


As bad as I expected


I can not recommend it…

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is quite awesome IMO

The Beastie Boys Story, a Spike Jonez directed documentary about the book release stage show hit AppleTV+ today.

I know there is some hate for Pete here, but this new movie looks really good

The King Of Staten Island.

The Betty Davis documentary "Betty - They Say I'm Different" is on Prime at the moment.

It's short under an hour, but well worth watching.  What a talent she was…

Nick cave’s 20,000 days on earth is on Prime

TCM is running music\concert movies all weekend including

Robert Ham
@roberthamwriter
If I'm reading the TCM schedule correctly, they are going to air the Tom Waits concert film BIG TIME on Monday the 7th at 12:15 pm. A pretty big deal as it has never been officially released on DVD or Blu-ray.

Also, Song Remains The Same,THE DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION and the Metal Years follow-up, Woodstock, Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, Otis Redding, etc etc… it's a pretty stacked lineup…

The latest Ken Loach film, "Sorry We Missed You."

All three Decline's are on Amazon Prime

I did see prime now has:  The Rolling Stones: Some Girls Live in Texas

this looks good

while working out, i watch mindless drivel on netflix or prime.  i'm currently watching "Bumblebee", a prequel/reboot of the Transformers movies.  it's actually a tad better than the other robots-in-disguise movies, not that it's a high bar to clear (who would have thought that john cena would be an upgrade on shia leboeuf?).  the movie is set in 1087, and IMO the most notable thing about it is the soundtrack: so many great eighties hits in there.  they must have spent a small fortune on licensing… within the first few minutes of the movie i recognized "bigmouth strikes again", what followed was a long walk down memory lane: things can only get better, save a prayer, don't you (forget about me), it takes two, etc etc etc…


so if you like meaningless action flicks where lots of shit gets blow up, this one at least has a good soundtrack.

I'm surprised you liked the lute music that was so popular after the battle of hastings

LOL @ me.  meant 1987, of course, but i do have a fondness for lutes.

The documentary "Hillbilly," streaming on Hulu, is a far better movie than the film "Hillbilly Elegy," streaming on Netfllix.

Been on a documentary kick.

Recently watched: Tom Petty, Clive Davis, Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, Bee Gees, Other Music, Dennis and Lois.

This seems interesting. Anyone see?

All movies below have been watched in the past few weeks.

The Beach Bum - absolutely absurd in a good way

Soul - heart strings pulled hard, a nice little Pixar flick for you or the whole family

My Octopus Teacher - I'd recommend 10mg of a sick edi™️ and ponder life while watching this eye candy doc.

Red Dog (2019 Documentary), streaming on Hulu and Prime

Early 1980's, the only family toddler Luke knew were the strippers, bouncers, and outcasts that called OKC's rowdiest strip club home.
