Last Movie Seen

Predator 2
Every Thanksgiving, we would go to the movies with friends. This was one we skipped in 1990 as there just wasn’t anything good out enough to see. Well, 35 years later I finally watched it. Decent enough. Classic Bill Paxton. Nude Teri Weigel. Maria Conchita Alonso was still looking good. But had to use CC for Danny Glover and his mush mouth delivery.

This movie scared the absolute shit out of me when I was a kid. I blame USA, TNT, and those networks for just broadcasting terrifying movies all day every day that any kid could watch with just the most violent parts edited out. Before I saw Predator 2 I was actually scared by kids on the playground simply describing the kills in the movie.
Another underrated scary part of the Predator movies was it was alpha soldier dudes in the first getting killed and then gangsters and cops in the second. That extra messed up a young Woolley. It felt like those are the guys who were supposed to save you.
 
Saturn 3
Kirk Douglas and Farrah Fawcett on a moon where Harvey Keitel builds a robot. Kind of like Alien in the premise. Some boobs with prime Farrah Fawcett. Kind of dated but had never seen it so it was a quick 88 minutes.

Of all the Predator sequels/franchise movies, this might be the best of them.
 
Visiting mom means sitting around and watching movies.

Terminator 2. Hadn’t seen it since it was in the theaters. Wry good sequel. I kind of missed how ran through Sarah Connor was after she got knocked up. She bounced from guy to guy. And the kid was a little more whiny than I remembered

Elevation. Anthony Mackie and Morena Baccarin in a Quiet Place type of movie where the aliens cannot go above 8000’ but of course they must go below that line to get supplies.

The 5th Wave. An alien invasion movie with Chloe Grace Moretz. Maggie Siff and Ron Livingston have small roles.

To Live In and Die in LA
Was pretty basic by today’s standards, but was probably very stylish and Miami Vice like back in 1985. Just had never seen it. Lots of boobs. Some William Petersen dong if you are into that thing
Shooter
Hadn’t seen it since it came out and I just couldn’t remember all the ins and outs. Plus it has Kate Mara.

Watched Live and Die in LA. I’ve heard Bill Simmons say there was a ton of cocaine in Hollywood in the 70s and 80s and this movie does nothing to make me think he’s wrong.
 
I started watching Long Bright River or I think that's what it's called, completely shitty name for this cop drama/miniseries on Peacock.
It's been a decent distraction since Max decided that they don't want to make shows like this anymore. Amanda Seyfried is the main character/investigator with the usual depressing single mom stuff but overall this isn't any worse than the euro trash mini-series that Netflix keeps ordering from Sweden/Norway.
 
Completed the Kingsman trilogy over the weekend. I’d seen the first 2 movies but not the newer one which is set around WWI.

Nothing special.

Tend to agree.

Much prefer Guy Richie’s stuff. The Gentleman ( both the movie and the Netflix series) and Snatch.

Kingsman is fine, just fine. Like a CGI James Bond wannabe series. Not a huge fan of the slow mo Matrix genre.

Except in The Matrix
 
Best scene in Kingsman is in the first one when the dude locks the door to the pub and beats the shit out of the tuff boys

Just watched the gentlemen

Not as tight a story as Snatch. But I liked a lot of the characters. Charlie Hunnam gets some good scenes

The Gentleman was great and Snatch was incredible when I first saw it. Still pretty damn good 25 years later. I have yet to watch the Netflix series and who knows if I will. Just cancelled a Netflix again after having it for 2 months.
 
Undercover Brother. Hadn’t seen it since it came out in 2002. I wasn’t missing much
Atlas. Jennifer Lopez in the future who is AI averse as she is hunting an AI robot who killed lots of people.

I watched Undercover Brother back in 2006. The only thing I can remember from the movie is he wouldn’t eat mayo.
 
Finished White Lotus season 3 last night. I really enjoyed watching this season but think it was the weakest season of the show and I'm a guy who gives a lot of leniency to not explaining everything and everything not have to be completely believable but this one left too much hanging. Overall, I like that it's about the closest thing we have to a show everyone watches. I think stuff like that is missing in our culture since we moved from a monoculture the past 10-20 years.

Not sure if you read or heard that they were going to have Piper fuck Zion and would have added another 10 minutes or so to the finale.
Think the show creator had harder time figuring out how to wrap this one up.
The story I was most interested in was the Greg one, they have done a great job with his character and giving you just enough about him, but in the end he just pays her and trusts her? A bit of a letdown.
