I haven’t seen Captain Marvel but I saw the new Avengers movie and her character just fell flat in the movie. A lot of stuff just didn’t make sense in that entire movie. Honestly was very disappointed with the movie.
it's a fun movie, but the writing is once again a problem. and like most super hero movies/comics, they make her way to powerful only to nerf her powers a month later in endgame. but it's a superhero movie, if you're looking for anything more than a fun movie you're gonna be disappointed.

anyone watch chernobyl? it's pretty good so far. i'm a couple episodes behind, but really enjoying it. stellan skarsgard and jared harris are 2 of my favorite actors. emily watson puts in a strong showing as well. her character is definitely a badass.

Eh, we're introduced to Princess Leia as a strong-willed young woman...but she still needed saving.  And then in the next movie, she's in a bikini the whole time. 
The social progress for women and minorities is stark.  Thankfully, that was just movie portrayals and unlike real life, am I right??!?!?
tbf, han and luke both needed saving multiple times throughout those movies as well.

but the bikini thing... yeah.

I'm 3 episodes in.  It's very good, and I've loved Jared Harris back to his Fringe days.  But I've heard people go a little overboard on their love for it.

Fringe is a show I loved. I got about 5 seasons in and life happened and I lost track of it. Need to go finish it.

Never thought I'd see a board full of dudes bellyaching about a bikini. Of course being even farther to the left than Hollyweird is a pretty impressive feat to have pulled off.

This is where the line is crossed and anything said in response to this is going to look like we're falling off a political cliff. 
So 1, thanks for that. 
2, if so many people seem so far left, maybe it's because the right has hypersped itself away from the middle these last couple of decades.
3 - the bikini thing is akin to the larger issue of women becoming big in Hollywood.  You can google almost any 'new to you' actress that your'e impressed with, and about 90% of them have been topless or nude in an earlier, smaller movie...because they virtually had to.  Do that for your favorite male actors, and you'll be searching for a good, long while to find any.

I really don't have any expectations for the return of Deadwood (the movie) but it will be more than satisfying to see the cast together again (with two understandable exceptions).

Yeesh, I said it was impressive. 

Homogeneous group think isn't for me, but you do you.

The ending was very weak.  The last season was totally unnecessary and just made everything convoluted.

I actually don't think TV writing has ever been better.  Really not even close.  Movies...eh...  Feels like everything is an art house production or a superhero movie.  Just look at the Best Picture nominations.  It feels like the mass appeal "films" (as opposed to movies, for lack of a better word) have disappeared.  We always try to watch all of the Best Picture/Actor/Actress movies, and each year I've even heard of, let alone know people who have seen, the nominated pictures.
I'm actually the opposite, I think there are plenty of great movies.

I can count on one hand the number of TV shows I've thought were "great" in the past ten years.  Everyone points to the cable (non OTA network) shows as the examples of "great ones" and I just don't see it.  Game of Thrones is certainly a valid example, it had 5 great seasons and a few average ones, and even season 8 was better than anything else I've watched on TV in a decade.  Beyond that, even on HBO and the various streaming services, the majority of what I see is a bunch of meh.

I really soured on the Oscars this past year.  Bohemian Rhapsody was a Lifetime movie with Queen music.  The Green Book was enjoyable but hardly earth shattering.  I'm not sure why those movies were nominated at all.

I may have to give Ozark another look.  I tried it and got bored and quit.

I found a Bosch series I had missed somehow and enjoyed watching Season 4.  I now have read most of the books, all the ones the library had.  The TV series has some interesting twists and changes relative to the books.  I enjoy both.

I'm reading a history entitled "Salt" now, which is informative but not terribly well written IMHO, it's OK.
