I am currently watching "The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About Christmas", Ralph the caribou shined in this one.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent.

Jingle All The Way with Arnold Schwartz- is probably the worst Christmas movie ever made.

Do you realize that the film business has decayed so badly, that a movie with the domestic attendance of "Jingle All The Way " would be a top 10 film in 2021,

That film was the apex of Sinbad's career.

The Matrix Resurrections

What a strange movie. Definitely not what I was expecting. Some stuff I liked. Some stuff that baffled me. Definitely need to take some time to process it to determine my thoughts.

Watching this now
Just upgraded my ATT service to the highest plan
Got tired of crappy campground wifi playing paintball in VR
Little kids shooting me easily and making fun of my wifi lag.
The solution.
Unlimited data and the ability to set up a wifi Hotspot for my occulus 2
Comes with free HBO so watching the movie

Matrix part 4
The worst one
I'm 1 hour and 40 min in and not sure I will finish it
Just seems pointless
The 1st one blew my mind
2nd and 3rd were decent science fiction
Part 4 sucks
Hugo weaving was great as agt Smith
Should have brought him back. Neil Patrick Harris is simply not as compelling and using him kind of breaks up the whole Matrix narrative.
I wonder what else there is to watch on HBO

TV, not movies, but have gotten hooked on "Resident Alien" . Well you see cabin fever syndrome is causing me to check a lot of stuff out.

I think it's pretty brilliant to have the alien killing people, and planning to kill more, everyone in fact ... not what I was expecting!

Ever since I heard Tarantino has a foot fetish, I can't help noticing it when watching his movies. I watched Once upon a time in Hollywood, and that thought is kind of distracting and irritating.

I liked bits and pieces of the movie, but I don't think it I'd rate it that high in his repertoire'.

I also watched Scorsese's "Casino". Though familiar mob aspects and good acting generally, also not a favorite for him.

Are you getting cabin fever because of winter and it's closer to the end when all the folks with SAD break out, or the dreaded pandemic?

Resident Alien started a new season, so I caught that. Still good but jumping the shark could come soon methinks.

now I bought the complete "Breaking Bad" ... and am totally hooked

There's everything wrong with the Breaking Bad story, but next to nothing wrong with how well it's pulled off and delivered as an engrossing story.
