One of my favorite games to play growing up as a kid.  

Oh, and see what happens when you give HGH to vegetarians.

The game was awesome as a kid. Ate plenty of my quarters. 

The street fighter 2 showed up, and I understood why crackheads were stealing anything they could for a hit.

Escape at Dannemora wraps up tonight with a 2 hour final episode. Can't wait.

Also Ray Donovan penultimate episode (I think) of season 6. 

I need to wait and watch dannemora from the beginning. Ive seen bits and pieces. Looks really good.

It's been great all around.

Went to see the Mule last night. 6/10

Clint was his usual crotchety old man. The story was good, but many holes in the storyline that were easy to fix. They needed to spend more time developing the bond Clint was growing with the Cartel members. The ending was totally anti-climatic. 

Andy Garcia was great, but his part was too brief.

Bradley Cooper was good as well, but his part could have been played by anyone.

Sad to see it end. Could watch a whole season of this. Such great acting jobs by all. There should be multiple award nominations.

[Redondo]

Watched Ballad of Buster Scruggs on Netflix.

6 short stories from the Coen brothers. Different look at the old West. Liked that they were all different. Good watch.

The Favourite was excellent.

I have only heard poor reviews for this movie... Did you find it heavy handed or condescending? I read that it points to Cheney and W being rather nihilistic... which really doesn't seem to fit with my own personal take on them, or even what I would think of as the liberal narrative.

It presents Cheney as power hungry without any genuine political beliefs, and it presents Dubya as a total patsy who lets Cheney have all the power.

I wouldn't say it's condescending or heavy handed.

They shall not grow old. If you didnt get a chance to see it, you missed out. The production was phenom. Bringing that old footage to color, and in 3D. Very, very cool. One of the better theater experiences Ive had in years.

I heard it is coming back early 2019.  Looking forward to seeing it.

2036 Origin Unknown.  Had high hopes since Katee Sackholff, aka Starbuck, is in it.  But it just was a hot mess.  Not worth the time to see it IMO.

Watched 'Bird Box' on Netflix. A completely adequate suspense / horror / end of the world film but it got me thinking about how all of these movies follow the exact same formula just with varying degrees of witty dialogue and production value. Not to make comparisons to 'A Quiet Place' but it's a little disappointing to see that even when trying to be original things still come off as completely derivative. 

A Quiet Place had a monster that looked very similar to Stranger Things. Bird Box had a similar look a feel  to A Quiet Place. They both had very similar music during suspenseful scenes. Overall Bird Box wasn't as good as A Quiet Place. At times, Bird Box felt rushed and/or lazy writing on explanations of who/why these things were affecting people. It was a simple horror flick that just takes you on a suspenseful ride toward the end. No thinking involved.

Luther. 

Season 5.

Tomorrow.

F*ck.

Yes

4-part season, with 1 episode being aired on consecutive days. 

[Tank]

caught the last half hour of The Shape of Water. wouldn't normally watch that part of a movie on it's own, but was curious enough to go ahead. What a weird movie, even with missing a lot of context. why was the beast being kept in a bathtub, why was that chick getting funky with it, why did that one guy have a death wish have such a burden to get rid of it, etc. Am hoping it gets replayed while I'm still here so I can get the rest of the story.

[Tank]

also watched the tom cruise movie where he is a pilot flying drugs for the colombian cartels while taking guns to the rebels in nicaragua, thus conducting the iran-contra affair. American Made, a fascinating movie.

Happy!  It's a Nextflix flick with a blue flying unicorn.  I dug it.  It was a strange dark movie.  Had a Sin city Marv meets a police mystery meets Harvey.  With Death to Smoochy mixed in.

Definitely one of the better-written and plotted series ever - the dialog was brilliant - iirc, HBO was a bit frustrated with Milch and cost overruns - apparently, he was always late with scripts, so shooting days got extended, etc.  And I guess he was also committed to that "John from Cincinnati" series.  

Sounds like they're really super-serious this time about shooting a Deadwood movie.  Dunno - I mean, have you seen Earl Brown on Preacher?  He played Dan - no way he carries that character anymore - now he just looks old and fat.  And Powers Booth is dead.  

Carnivale was .... interesting - actually, it kept me hooked, they created a pretty interesting universe there, and I stayed with it to see where it was going.   And then, whack, it was cut-off.  

It’s happening! I’m going to go back and rewatch the show to prep myself for this.

Well, hopefully those motherfuckers end the movie better than the last time.

Bird Box

[HaloMilliVanilli]

Green Book -  Very well done.  Entire family enjoyed this one.  

Spiderman - Into the Spiderverse     Kids really enjoyed it.  It was meh for me and the wife.  It was much different than other Spidey movies, obviously, and did have some funny moments.  Don't think I'll watch it again, though.
