Random...I enjoyed Oppenheimer one hell of a lot more at home as compared to IMAX. The ability to pause and go take a bathroom break is so nice.

Keep one eye open over your shoulder. Christopher Nolan is coming for you.

Right? Okay, I'll just say it. I didn't find the film to be all that when it comes to being a visual spectacle. One scene is a standout and you can probably guess which one. It's a nice-looking film and all, but the IMAX pushing doesn't register for me.

New Bond is heating up again. I care far more if it's going to be fun than who will be the guy.

Chances are it will just join Batman's super dark reimagining slippery slope (how long is dark and gritty going to be 'imaginative'?) headed to the villain forcing the hero to unwittingly eat his mother. Who gets to the South Park threshold first?

I haven't done the old Bonds in forever. Time to fire it up.

I'm actually really intrigued where the franchise goes next. I have a theory, but I'm probably going to be wrong.

I watched Babylon in several shielding-on-screen-orgies-from-children sessions last week. I really thought it was great. As the antithesis to CGI and Benedict Cumberbatch crawling around the floor with ping pong balls all over himself, those set pieces were awesome. I loved how big it was. Big and real. And the music was killer.

Boy the Academy really hates Margot. She was amazing. This year they really rubbed it in by giving the straight man lady in Barbie a nom. I am very much not this guy, I swear—or I try not to be—but is Margot on the outside looking in part of the new, inclusive Academy? And I can even be fine with that. The thought comes to mind.


What exactly did America Ferrara do that was Oscar worthy? John Goodman has never been nominated, dammit! Now I’ll go back to pretending like I don’t care about any of that.

This whole thing is wild and stinks imo, regardless of what one thinks of a Coyote movie

Basically, the movie was completed, people seemed to like what they've seen of it, and for whatever reason Warner Brothers has decided not to release it and as far as anyone can tell, they're deleting it for a tax write-off.

For a while it looked like they were willing to sell it to another studio, but they're refusing to negotiate on the price.

Just watched it on Fandango and must agree.

Efron was surprisingly very good and jacked AF and I thought Jeremy White did a good job as Kerry.

Holt McCallany was really good as Fritz also and is an actor that just seems to make everyone around him more credible.

A couple of nits to pick with some of the chronology of the movie vs reality but I accept that for the fact that it's a movie telling a story based on real life.

No mention of team ups and feud with Gent Chris Adams. I could probably watch a movie just based on their rivalry with the Freebirds.

Not crazy about the Harley Race casting...the look wasn't terrible but the voice didn't sound right but maybe I am remembering Race wrong. Felt kind of the same about the Flair casting but admit that casting Nature Boy is hard to do. Neither casting detracts from the movie's story at all of course.

One big thing though...
[SHOW]
They didn't even mention Chris Von Erich who also committed suicide; but kind of seemed to blend him into the Kerry suicide sequence.
Definitely a worthwhile movie for anyone that remembers wrestling in the 80's into the early 90's.
