It was a great book but I enjoyed the movie just as well.

And I liked North Dallas Forty but Peter Gent's best book, in my opinion, was The Franchise.

I just watched the entirety of Breaking Bad, finally.  Very good.  5 seasons...halfway through the 3rd season, I'm wondering how they're going to do another season and a half, but they explored further down the path of how things might go than most shows would have, imo.  


I was excited that Broken Mirror had "new episodes"....uh, no, 3 new episodes isn't okay with me.  I'm thinking a full new season.  And the first one was with Miley Cyrus.  Ugh.  Nevermind.

Watched Spider-Man Far From Home with my boy this weekend. Enjoyed it. It takes itself a little less seriously than the Avengers, while offering a denouement to that series. It also elevates Spidey back to where I picture him as more or less the king of the Marvel heroes. Has flaws, of course, but good clean fun.

Also, you know this scene in Office Space:

I feel a little like him right now as I'm reading The Hate You Give, watching "Dear White People" on Netflix on my commute, and using my Beats Pro Detox models to hear it (got them free as a work bonus).

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is still in theaters 8 weeks after release. Mrs. and I saw it Friday night and loved it.

My 12yo wants to see it. This coming weekend is crazy busy but if it's still around in theaters, maybe we'll do it next weekend.

Also really want to see The Eternals, and Dune (as we've discussed on some other thread that I guess is not the Movies thread).

A guy I know locally apparently put himself on all sort of "test screening" lists for upcoming movies, where he gets to see movies early as a focus group. 

He recently got to see Thirteen Lives, a movie coming out in 2022, about a junior soccer team that ended up being stuck in a cave in Thailand for 18 days, and the massive rescue effort to get them out safely. He says it was absolutely a MUST SEE movie when it's released. Directed by Ron Howard.

Not sure how things are in CenTex, but the theater was almost full at our showing. Almost everyone was of Asian descent.

Never got into Dune.

I started Dune last night, but meh.  Why is it a thing?  Seems like dusty Star Wars.
If I go to a theater, I'll watch the new Bond film.

Theaters are wide open and populated here. They've been open for over a year, but with no content, not very busy.  Now that there's new content, they're quite busy.  Theater was 100% full when we went to see Black Widow a couple months back.

Don't have HBO Max but it's a movie I'd go to the theater for, anyway.

Ha, I've reached the point where I'm mad that any movie isn't available streaming immediately.

It's possible you hate people even more than I do. ;)

For me, I like to see the "big" movies on the big screen.  Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, superhero movies, big sci fi movies like Dune-- I prefer the theater experience for those.

Indie films, romcoms, or whatever-- those are fine at the house.
