There is like ZERO chance this movie will be even half as good as "Grand Prix" but maybe it's a little more realistic than "Driven"

I wonder if that's going to be one of those racing films where every onboard shot results in the driver shifting up again and the engine going "broooooom" even louder with every shift until they're going at presumably 600 kilometer per hour in the 28th gear

It's a historic day today, as for the first time since 1980, that actors in Hollywood are on a strike (and deservedly so!! ). Even more pivotal is that it the first time that both actors and writers are on strike since 1960. All productions on US soil are shutting down for the foreseeable future and we will see how this affects the International stage. 

 

I've read some of the demands and it's all very logical. These big corporations, especially the new tech companies, think they are invincible and can boss around the people. There is only so much time to watch movies and shows, so the strike is actually welcomed from my point of view. I have stuff from all the past few decades, that i've wanted to watch.

Barbie movie will hopefully get some nods when awards season comes around. It’s Gerwig at her best.

 

I was going to pull a Barbenhiemer, but five hours of film back-to-back is a little much for me. Oppenheimer will have to wait for now.

 

Edit: Oppenheimer was very good. I saw it IMAX, though the sound could have been taken down a notch.

Anyone else watch The Chosen One on Netflix? It screams Stranger Things meets Mexican folklore, but with a spirituality/religious conflict at the center. I imagine it will be somewhat controversial given the subject matter, but honestly it’s worth a watch for the artistic direction alone.

 

Apple TV’s Invasion and Netflix’s Ragnarok are also dropping new seasons this week.

They did NOT stick the landing on this one. The season started out okay, but the last few episodes were confusing and rushed. Too bad.

What a horrible news to wake up to.. 😔🥺😢 Damn you life.. A man, who made millions, maybe a billion, people laugh in the last 30 years thought so many demons in real life.. This one really hurts.

I go back to Frank Pemberton in Homicide: Life on the Street, which I still think was pretty much the best acting ever done on TV.  Sadly, there are some stupid legal complications which prevent that all-time great cop show from being streamed.
