I felt so sad after watching Elvis.  I hadn't realized how he was like a race horse tied to a fence post his whole life.
There's some quote from either George Harrison or Paul McCartney about how they were with Elvis one time and he wouldn't do drugs with them because he wouldn't put it in his body.  I always took it as he didn't know what he was taking.  But the movie really made it clear that while that was true, he also wasn't given a choice.

Unnecessarily casting Tom Hanks in a fat suit knocked it down a peg for me, and I always have a hard time crediting actors with playing actual people.  Feels like they aren't so much acting as impersonating.  Is it better acting because it's in a biopic rather than an SNL skit?

I just watched All Quiet on the Western Front last night.
It's a quality movie, but I didn't enjoy watching it at all.
.
Akin to The Joker, with Joaquin Phoenix.  It was a genuinely quality movie.  But I never want to watch it again.

Everything Everywhere All at Once has to be the most overrated movie I've seen in a while.  There are movies that are clearly just art house films, and whatever, they are what they are.  But that movie tried to be something else... enjoyable.  And it was, for half a movie, and then turned into absolute Oscar bait shit.

Went to a ballgame today and stopped by the card shop nearby.
Picked up these for cheap.  I know they're not worth anything, but it's fun to open a pack.
They didn't have any 2023 Topps baseball, so I picked up these - I love cards that show their college unis.

I owned the black-border Desmond Howard cards back in the day, and most of them were stuck together in this pack.  I don't care, as they're not worth anything and it didn't affect the photos on the cards.
.


I was surprised to see a Favre card.  There are other good cards, too.  A bummer is that the stack of cards with Ismail on top was like half offensive linemen.



This was the intriguing thing I bought.  I'd never seen these before.  There are others, but these are notables.  This was Series III, btw.  They look great.  I'm glad I bought them.

The books on which the NF series is based are excellent (IMHO).  THe video version strays quite a bit, as usual, but is still interesting, and well made.

You didn't see Dune circa 1983 left after about 20 minutes Bogart,Cary Grant,James Stewart, Marlon Brando,James Dean on their best nights couldn't save that Cinema Shit Show. Another incredible waste of Tavern Time was Chariots of Fire,something wrong with that Freak Show that calls itself  Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards

I think my anecdotal circle of friends that have seen this are all between 'horrible' to 'such a waste of time'
