Meh. JWD was entertaining imho outside the stupid devolution into M:I and James Bond in the middle portion. Don't overthink it.
 
Are we talking about John Wick 3?

Because JW3 is bad, but it's still awesome bad.

JW4 is set to be theatrically released in the United States on March 24, 2023.

I would love a miniseries set at the Continental which does not even mention John (or Winston). There is so much coolness to be had there.

The Dead Don't Die.

It tries. It has moments. I liked it but I can imagine even reasonably intelligent viewers being impatient with it.
 
The new documentary on HBO called, Chernobyl: The Lost Tapes, is outstanding. If you watched their mini-series a couple of years ago, as I did, you might especially like this latest effort.

I still need to watch the mini-series. The wife started to watch it when it came out, she said she only made it partway into episode one before it was a little too much for her.

I would definitely watch both. I would probably start with the mini-series though because you get a little more detailed picture. This latest doc is outstanding primarily because of the film footage. Russia filmed everything because they thought they were documenting a glorious outcome.
 
Today I unlearned:

It is commonly believed that the characters of Bert and Ernie on Sesame Street were named after Bert the cop and Ernie the cabdriver. However, in a correction for the 1999 "Annual Xmas Quiz" in the San Francisco Chronicle, which made this claim, series writer Jerry Juhl confirmed that, per producer Jon Stone, the shared names were merely a coincidence.

The heck with that. "When the legend becomes fact, print the legend."
 
I took my parents to see Elvis...all the performances are great (Kepler will hate it cause Tom Hanks is everywhere!!) but good god Baz Luhrman is perhaps the most self indulgent director of all time. If Elvis himself isn't enough pomp and circumstance for you that is a problem. The film was only "good" but could have been great with a better director.

The kid playing Elvis was outstanding...I mean he better win lots of awards. He is better as Elvis than Malek was as Freddy Mercury. (neither was as good as Egerton as Elton John though)
 
THOR: LOVE & THUNDER

It was cromulent.... That's it... Pretty much a linear, no frills story...

Overall MCU Spoiler/Criticism - So I know that there wasn't gonna be any big reveals on the next Thanos/threat right away, but I'm kinda getting annoyed with the fact that with the SIX movies and all the D+ shows we've gotten and it feels like each has done their own thing with almost not connective tissue holding everything together. Other than mere surface level references, I feel that THOR specifically did nothing to move the larger story forward. Pretty much everything after ENDGAME just seems to be doing it's own thing with very little of the "it's all connected" mantra.

I get needing to make these things accessible to people that don't watch EVERYTHING, but I feel that they have swung too far in that direction currently...
 
Not that I am going to see it...but please tell me the effects in the movie are better than the ones in the trailer because some of them were atrocious.
 
It wasn't that great. The Jane Foster storyline was good and worth telling. And, the other storyline was good and worth telling. They kind of combo plattered it. The execution was kind of meh all over the place.
