Im a big Denzel fan and the movie was very entertaining

My son told me about that movie and while Im a big Hanks fan Im going to pass on it cause I like movies that are up beat

Ive had enough sadness in my life and want to be entertained in a happy or uplifting way

thats why Ive never watched Titanic
These are the movies I only see once.  No need to expose myself to it again, no matter how good it is.  Like Joker.  That's one.  Great, quality movie.  Never want to see it again.

Man, haven't thought about that in a while.  That should go in the underrated movies.  SNL had a great skit with Scarlett Johansson that made fun of the trailer too

Based on fan reactions and glowing reviews the three shows I would stream if I had the time are:

1. Succession 2. The Bear 3. Only Murders in the Building

The Bear was good although I'll be honest, shows where the main characters are constantly smoking cigarettes kind of wear me out.  It doesn't bother me as much in period pieces like Mad Men, but in contemporary shows, I just want to shake these stupid MFers and scream WHY?

For background, I grew up in a house with a mother that smoked, a lot.  In the house, in the car on long drives with the window "cracked" which does absolutely no good.  I loathe cigarettes in a way that might be unhealthy in and of itself, but it is what it is.  So when I see it in a contemporary TV show, it really turns me off.

My wife stated watching Barbie on a plane flight, she made it about 5 minutes in.  Someone suggested it to her.  Delta has a LOT of movies available on long flights now, which would be good if more of them were worth watching.  I usually just read and try to doze.

The flight to Japan will be a killer.

Eh, I can't.  It's an unavoidable, visceral reaction, resulting from years of being trapped in a smoky car for cross-country trips to California or international ones into the deep interior of Mexico.
