Finally got around to watching the movie Ford Vs Ferrari. Excellent movie.

Watched something called “I Care a Lot” on Netflix.  It was clever.  I can’t offer a much better review without spoiling but you’ll have to be ok with thousands of plot holes.

Then check out Carolla's 24-hr War for the documentary on that race.

That movie was horrible. Well acted, but that doesn’t mean much with horrible writing.

That’s why I didn’t really like it until the very end.

I stumbled across some Colombo on cable which made me think of Banacek. I have watched a few episodes on Prime. Stepping back in time!

I started watching Soviet Storm WWII in the East, on Amazon Prime

Looks pretty low budget CGI with a British narrator, over what looks like a cheesy Russian documentary

 

But still pretty interesting

Worst movie I've seen in years. The worst part is that it starts off with an interesting premise and a great villain that really draws you in, then just as you start to get invested it abruptly descends into a farcical pile of cinematic dog shit. It was free on Netflix and I still felt ripped off.

So what you're saying is no matter how much A list talent could be recruited, Greggggggy's scripts are still gonna bomb?

But it’s cool to insult old people right now, so it’s ok.

And not only that, but take this hood villain and instead glorify all of her scumbaggery (it’s a word now because I say so). They wanted you to root for her, which is mind-numbingly stupid.

I figured that he has moved on to a very different world at this point.

Let me preface this by saying I am no fan of Marvel or DC stuff. In fact, you its a little embarrassing how much they need to retread stuff.

 

But we watched Superman and Lois on CW last night and it was pretty outstanding. Relatively predictable, yes, but when you can see something coming and it's still well done, it's a good sign.

Or elect them President.  But not both.

It’s an interesting twist on Superman so far, a unique story we ha ent seen before. Just about the only way to this overpowered character and make him seem human is to give him kids.

Yeah, it's like someone said "What if we approached Superman and Lois from the perspective of The Incredibles?" 

 

My hope is they don't take it down the road of Walker, Texas Ranger, which we only started watching because we dig the dude from Supernatural. Turns out, Walker has too many things to deal with in his personal life to spend any time solving crimes as a Texas Ranger. So ridiculous.

 

I won't be surprised if five episodes in, no one on the Superman reboot is using their power...just wandering around trying to deal with how one son feels emasculated because his brother has super powers and he doesn't.

South Park Vaccination Special was disappointing.  COVID even made South Park suck

I had never seen the sixth season of Hot in Cleveland. I binge watched it this week. The show was stupid funny, and Betty White is a national treasure.
