What Movies Have You Seen Lately?

t's really shocking how stupid these people are.

The vast majority of criminals
are stupid, it's why they get
caught. It's the smart ones
that get away with it. The old
school Mafia guys were dumb
as rocks in the lower ranks.
8th grade drop outs who
couldn't read or write. All they
did was plan stupid crimes
that were doomed to fail half
the time.

In crimes where a brilliant heist is involved, it's amazing how poor the getaway and aftermath plans tend to be. In other words, it can be a work of genius for the first phase, and idiocy for the latter phase.

but the most inexcusable thing about first-time criminals getting caught, judging by the true crime stuff I watch, is how many people assume their cell phones are safe to use, and they'll do stupid stuff like two collaborators calling each other 40 times around the time of the crime. And they don't know their whereabouts are being tracked by cell towers, info that's available well after the fact, when they become suspects

I've watched a lot of episodes of Locked up abroad
Just about every episode is an amateur smuggling drugs via a passenger plane and getting caught. It's really shocking how stupid these people are.

I've seen some of those, can't watch too many... depressing. An interesting one though was a fundamentalist sect Jew who would go back and forth between Europe and Brazil with drugs, and they wouldnt even check his luggage. Too trustworthy-looking in his particular clothing and all. He never got caught doing that but was caught with something else he was up to in Brazil, if I remember right.

Really looking forward to this
Get Back
A Doc about the Beatles by Peter Jackson
He had access to tons of unseen footage of the Beatles working
I cant wait
Some of my favorite audio recordings are of the Beatles working in the studio

We had a couple of cars driving through the Tijuana-San Diego border crossing, and one father made a comment about his child eating ice cream on a stick. The ice cream nearly felll on the kid's clothing, and he said on the phone "That was a close call". The DHS guards swarmed our cars asking what the close call was.

Venders selling snacks and toys to the people stuck in traffic trying to cross border.

Wonder Woman 1984

Actually went to the theater last night to watch it. I see lots of people are trashing it online, but I enjoyed it. 🤷‍♂️ Aside from it being a bit overlong, I don’t have any major complaints. Loved the cameo in the end credits scene too.

Last year 30 films cleared $100m domestically .

It seems like the biggest domestic box office success after COVID began was a little known film called "After We Collided" which had a Domestic Box Office $82.4 million. The film starred 23 year old "Hero Fiennes Tiffin" and female co-star "Josephine Langford". The film was a sequal to a 2019 film called "After".

So WW 1984 has to beat this film.

The first Wonder Woman earned
$103 million at end of week 1
$206 million at end of week 2

This one will be lucky to break $150 million.

Do I need to watch the first 1,983 Wonder Woman movies to understand the plot of this one?

Maybe it won't beat "After We Collide".

Warner Brothers last tentpole film, Christopher Nolan's "Tenet" released in the pandemic made (domestically) $20,200,000 opening weekend and $37,695,000 for the rest of it's run.

Wonder Woman 1984 only earned $16,700,000 opening weekend , and it is available on HBO MAX.

We may not see a $100 million movie until May 7, 2021 when Marvel's Black Widow is released. Another possibility is May 21, 2021 when Godzilla vs Kong is released.
