Apart from The Matrix, where would Christopher Nolan be without Carrie Anne Moss in Memento.

King Arthur says, 'not another pissing scene', that was done in the original Shogun. I haven't watched the new Shogun, Hiroyuki Sanada is probably a fine actor but he stands under the looming shadow of Toshiro Mifune as Toranaga.

Leave it to Disney to snatch shit from a vein of gold. They cast Carrie Anne Moss in their latest Star Wars entry and completely waste her.

The distracting Snarky Jay explains.

Wait, the thumbnail says R2D2 is a lesbian? It's a bloody robot, talk about trying too hard.

Just watched the first episode of the new season of "Mayor Of Kingstown", starring the "back from being almost dead due to his January 2023 seven-ton snow cat rollover accident" actor Jeremy Renner.

Third season. First episode a continuation of the second season drama. Gritty and recommended. On the surface Jeremy seems fully recovered.

Star Wars: The Acolyte is making easily triggered white victimhood anti-woke pissbabies froth at the mouth and I am there for it.

I started watching The Brothers Sun and it's been really good so far. It's a great mix of action and comedy with amazing fight scenes. And anything with Michelle Yeoh in it is an automatic win in my books. Too bad it's a Netflix one season wonder as I've dubbed them.

In fairness, I lost interest in Star Wars twenty years ago. However, why at this point would anyone argue with the Star Wars audience for rejecting what Disney is putting out with the franchise? Disney is a business.......a very big business. They need to serve their audience and no one else.

Don't be fooled by what Hollywood critics and insiders are saying. The audience is no. 1.

Star Wars is garbage, it peaked with The Empire Strikes Back, it's been a formulaic shit show ever since. Having said that, I'm comforted knowing that R2D2 is a lesbian.

The Offer is on Paramount+ and YT TV, it has an 8.6/10 rating on IMDB. It's a limited series about the making of The Godfather from the memoirs of Producer Albert Ruddy. It has a very talented cast with Miles Teller as Ruddy, Dan Fogler as Francis Ford Copolla, Patrick Gallo as Mario Puzzo and Justin Chambers as Marlon Brando.

I'm just into the second season of The Americans on Crave (FX). It's based on two Soviet spies who were planted into American society during the Cold War. I can't believe it was cancelled after six season because of low ratings. I don't know how true the events are but the series is totally engrossing.

The Americans came to it's logical conclusion, the show was overall FUCKIN AWESOME.

Joel McHale didn't want to be stereotyped as Jeff Winger (Community).

I think it's totally fictitious. Thoroughly enjoyed it. 6 years was enough.

I just started watching Ripley. I'm confident that I will like it.

Those About to Die:



The ten episodes were released on Thursday, July 18, reportedly with a budget of $140 Million.

The show is set in Rome, 79 AD. Anthony Hopkins is the Emperor. The Show is about chariot races, gladiators, and political intrigue.

I've just seen the first episode, and I'll continue watching. I preferred Starz' Spartacus, but this is my next binge of a new show.

The trailer for this is one of the few videos on YouTube I didn't skip. It looks great and I didn't realize it has premiered.

I think I'll have to give it a watch at some point this weekend!

I've also been watching Mindhunter on Netflix and I'm about half-way through the first season. I'm not used to seeing Jonathan Groff in this type of role!
