Revisiting True Detective. Struggling through S2. Huge quality drop-off from S1 to S2. I hope Season 3 and 4 regain some glory.

You shall be hoping and hoping, sadly.

Sigh….just let them die already.

Jurassic World Rebirth…

I wonder if the dinosaurs are bigger and meaner this time?

1 is A+
2 is C+
3 is A-
4 is a B

Pretty well agree with your assessment, although S4 was an absolute slog for me.

Update:

The Gorge is very watchable on Apple TV but definitely NOT on your smartphone. BIG screen only. And no potty breaks,

 

[Chongo94]

Trailer dump time.

The first one was actually really good so I hope this comes somewhat close.

The Accountant 2…

 

[Chongo94]

Mickey 17….quirky plot but might be cool.

 

[Chongo94]

Obligatory Jason Stathem action flick….cool use of Buffalo Springfield in the trailer.

A Working Man…

 

[Chongo94]

New horror movie of sorts, I believe.

Sinners…

Agree. Especially with tax season approaching.

I liked 3. 4 was hot garbage.

Found a pretty funny series on Amazon.
'The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh"

Also saw a decent movie on Tubi "Escape from Germany" about Morman missionaries escaping Germany in the days before the German invasion of Poland.

Watched the final episode of Dexter: Original Sin this morning.

Give this ten-episode prequel an A+ grade.

Perfect framing of the backstory of all the main characters and what's to come in the original eight series of Dexter.

The SNL 50th anniversary special was pretty good. Lots of nostalgia. Eddie Murphy did surprisingly well in a couple of skits. I haven’t seen that Eddie in a looong time.

Gumby?

 

[tcudoc]

Gumby?

No. He did a Tracy Morgan impersonation on Black Jeopardy…standing right next to Tracy Morgan. It was pretty good. Then he played a prisoner in a scared straight program that was really funny. Will Ferrell recreated his unusually short shorts for that skit, which was a big hit.

I think he and Lorne Michaels were at odds for many years because they spoofed him on something. I’m thinking it was David Spade that lampooned him pretty good and he took offense.

During the Weekend Update David Spade made a comment like “look kids a falling star“ with a picture of Eddie Murphy. This was after one of Eddie’s movies was a box office failure.

Santos coming in your brown!

Memory: The Origins of Alien. On Prime. A documentary exploring the origins one of the few movies to get under my skin when released in ‘79. A young, talented director named Ridley Scott, the art of Francis Bacon and HR Giger, ancient Pazuzu mythology, 1950’s comic books and the work of Dan O’Bannon. Fascinating stuff.
