Has anyone watched Barry with Bill Hader? Started it last week and we’re about four episodes in. I really love Bill Hader’s quirky comedy. So far, so good.

Gonna need a review from Stefan’ first.

Never thought we’d get another one of these but I’m here for it.

Tron: Ares

I’d like to be here for it, but afraid it’s just one more thing I loved for Disney to ruin.

Minecraft movie was surprisingly good and funny. It was a lot like the Mario movie...starring Jack Black, of course. Several Napoleon Dynamite Easter eggs.

The hate for the second one wasn’t deserved imo. I loved it. Perfect balance of new and old, cool story, great cast, and a fantastic score by daft punk. Yeah, the CGI of Jeff Bridges’ Clu was pretty awful, but I always like to think it’s because Clu was an “imperfect” copy of Flynn. (I know…nerd alert lol)

Not sure I’m going to like Ares though. I’m just not a Jared Leto fan. And I’m curious how they’re going to tie this one to the 2nd movie since this was Clu’s plan…(spoiler)….but Clu is dead.

If you didn't already know, you don't want to get on Spencer Dutton's bad side.

Mobland on paramount plus. British gangsters show. Two episodes in, not bad but not great great. Helen Mirren’s character is malevolently psychotic.

Is she invoking Morganna?
She had malevolent psychotic down pat since Excalibur over 40 years ago.

Only two episode in but this hasn’t been half bad at all. The mom is hilarious. Available on Prime. Episodes are only 30 minutes.

The Bondsman.

She’s the head gangster’s (Pierce Brosnan actually) wife. Her relationship with her grandson is interesting.

The Last of Us. Everything is perfect EXCEPT the lead actress. I thought Selena Gomez was bad. I loved her in Game of Thrones, but it appears like she has only one style.

I think you might be right. The show could be much better with a different female lead. Her eyes bother me for some reason. Just empty voids.

LTNS. Thought of you the other day when I saw a photo of you from the College Station Regional. You were eating something from the concession stand.

Any love for The Residence on NF? A murder mystery comedy in the Clue tradition. Good for a few laughs per episode.

Also, The Bookie on Prime. Solid comedy series.

I watched The Residence E1 last night. Tbh it was a struggle but I plan to hang in there. Lots of series need a couple of episodes to get up and running

Nielsen was a serious actor and was reluctant to do Airplane because it was so silly. I read that, once he heard Robert Stack signed on, he felt better about it. I think I also read that he never again did a serious movie role after that in his career. Not sure if that was by choice ( I think it was) or because he got pigeon holed as a comedic actor for silly movies.
He became a master of that genre. Will be interesting to see what happens with Neeson. It certainly does not fit his usual persona.

Leslie Nielsen had an extensive Soap Opera career including One Life to Live

Ludwig on BritBox is worth a look. It stars David Mitchell who was hilarious in Upstart Crow
