New trailer for Furiosa is out. I’m sorry but while the action and effects look pretty awesome, if maybe a bit too CGI heavy, I just have to laugh out loud whenever they try to show Anya Taylor-Joy as some badass tough person. It’s cringy and laughable. And I get that it’s a younger version of Furiosa, but there are 11 year olds that exude more of a menacing presence than this actress.

The Gentlemen on the Netfix is excellent, especially if you liked the Two Locks/Snatch/Guy Ritchie style

Watched about 5 episodes and gave up. It was too ridiculous for me and I didn’t care for any of the characters. It seemed like they were going for a Breaking Bad story line. I just stopped looking forward to what was coming next and my wife felt the same. So we just called it quits.

Oh man, I'm on episode 3 and love it so far, but I can see where it's getting a little like he will become the Kingpin

Watched the 9-episode documentary on Netflix called "The Turning Point--The Bomb and the Cold War."

Fascinating and highly informative--covers everything from the Manhattan Project to the US-USSR arms race (and nuclear testing) to the various changes in leadership and doctrine in the USSR, to Chernobyl and the present-day threats by Putin to use nukes against Ukraine and NATO.

Must see for the young'uns like my barber who didn't know that the US had actually dropped nukes on Japan.

I rewatched it a few years ago. The takeaways for me were, the acting seemed a bit strained at times and the movie was super short. I didn’t think it was nearly as good as I remembered it being.
I recall a movie about John Cappaletti and his Heisman that he gave to his brother, who was undergoing cancer treatment. It was called Something for Joey. At the time, it was right up there with Old Yeller as far as sad movies go. I’d love to rewatch it and see if it stands the rest of time.

I remember seeing Something for Joey as a pup. Good stuff as far as 70s schlock, sports movies go. And Old Yeller. You're not a red blooded, God fearing American if you haven't seen and gotten misty at Old Yeller.

Daughter and I watched Renegade Nell on Disney+ last night. Unique setting for what amounts to the victorian-era mixed with a western and supernatural elements. Fun show and my daughter liked it, so I was happy.

First episode of Fallout wasn’t half bad at all. Did a good job with the vault stuff and music and making the Brotherhood of Steel look pretty cool. Be interesting to see how they do the Enclave and the larger wildlife down the road.

May only appeal to those that have played the games but those that have should be pretty happy if all the episodes keep this up.

I've played every game several times over, so this is good news. Hope to see some easter eggs on skills and things like that.
