September 18, 20241 yr "Missing : The Lucie Blackman Case" Just sad and disturbing what humans can do to each other
September 19, 20241 yr 5 hours ago, Guadaloopy said: Rebel Ridge is pretty damn good. A solid entry in the FAFO thread as well. Very surprisingly good. A pretty blatant Jack Reacher knock off: ex-military bad ass literally stumbles into small town conspiracy and corruption. But it's a pretty tried and true formula. Beats their usual action movie approach of grossly overpaying some A-lister to mail it in for 117 minutes.

I definitely didn't expect it to be as good as it was. I thought of Rambo. But this movie did a good job keeping the tension going.
September 20, 20241 yr Culinary Class War . Korean cooking competition . 80 nobody chefs compete against 20 famous chefs. It’s like 24 for 24 + The 100 + Squid Game. Different and fun especially if you enjoy Korean shows. It’s dubbed.

September 22, 20241 yr Just finished watching “Going Varsity in Mariachi”. Very good, follows a couple high schools in the RGV.
September 25, 20241 yr Vince McMahon documentary came out today. Looking pretty good through episode 1.

September 26, 20241 yr Got through 4 episodes of the McMahon doc. I think it’s a pretty fair portrayal. They definitely don’t try to redeem any of the shady bullshit he’s done, at least so far. Most of the footage was shot before the 2022 sale and the 2024 lawsuit though. Edited September 26, 20241 yr by MrX
September 28, 20241 yr Just started The Deliverence Is this like Glenn Close playing Rachel Dolezal?Ok this movie sucks. 1st half is ok. 2nd half is fucking wack. Do not recommend.
September 28, 20241 yr McMahon series is great. I haven’t kept up with that since the 80s and now I feel like I’m completely caught up. I had no idea about 90% of those storylines and “eras”. The WCW stuff was interesting. They pull very few punches on Vince imo - for a show that features him. I think the bigger point was - does the fan base care? No.

Her husband stole the pill, so it's his fingerprints on the pill container. No one saw her give the drink to the pregnant woman. No one saw them out in the water. The only evidence the police have is that the pregnant lady was suspiciously washing a drinking glass the next morning. Spoiler My wife and I went round and round on this as well. She apparently had that weird rare hand cream that she could only get from some other county on her hands, and it was found in the hair/on the skull of the dead girl.

Felt like I was back in the 80's reliving the good old days.

I thought it was well done. He’s a douchebag. He’s a visionary. But I lived from the old timey territory wrestling into what’s it’s become. It doesn’t just focus on McMahon but all the storylines and wrestlers in it. I didn’t think it presented him in a glowing light as a person.
October 2, 20241 yr It's professional wrestling. There's not a whole bunch of redeemable human beings in that profession..
October 3, 20241 yr On 9/15/2024 at 5:07 PM, royiv said: Wife and I saw it in the theater this afternoon. Very much enjoyed it and I got a lot out of it. It made me reflect on some of my closest and oldest friendships. Felt like it struck a pretty good balance between presenting a friendship that transcends gender identity, the mental toll of grappling with living in a body that you weren’t meant to and the political environment all with a little humor mixed in. It’s only 114 minutes and I thought it could have gone deeper into certain areas, but at the same time it felt approachable for some people that might be more uncomfortable with the subject matter. I will be very interested in your reaction after viewing. My wife and I watched it last night. I have a ton of thoughts. My wife really loved it I definitely enjoyed it. I’ve got some friends like Will and they are absolute treasures. I loved seeing Will’s humanity in this, it’s clear he really cares. It’s obvious Harper is a baby out trans woman because she’s like “you’re my friend, you can ask me anything.” Well after a few years the last thing you want to talk about is trans shit. omfg, the shoes woman? No greater tell than always wearing heels and wearing them poorly. Fuck heels, I don’t know any woman that likes them. Harper is riding a unicycle in 4 inch heels for fucks sake. Stahp!! Most people are pretty good one on one and this film proved it. The problem is online and groups, that’s where the danger is. Back to shoes sorta, she had waaaaay more style pre transition I hate to say. Somebody needs to jump in and help a sister out. the pain is real, until you’re settled into a normal life post transition there is nothing but constant pain. The film did a pretty good job getting that across. you can work on your voice and tbqh for me, there’s nothing as cringy as a trans woman who just mails that part in and says fuck it not going to deal with it. That’s probably my own transphobia but I’m being honest that part was hard to watch. Related, older transitioners really make me sad because the younger you do it the better chances you have of hormones really taking hold. So I was also really sad watching it. the house in the middle of no where? We all have eccentric plans like that, I planned a second story master bedroom full apartment for me at one point - had the plans done and ready for permits. Anything to avoid coming out. having to relearn every situation and scenario in public, yep. Not fully representative of trans life (which can be pretty boring and not worthy of the screen) but a well done surface level, funny, endearing film.
October 3, 20241 yr Rebel Ridge is solid. Don Johnson plays a pretty good bad guy. He was pretty much the same character as Brawl in Cell Block 99 which I also like. Cycling with headphones so loud you can't hear a cop car behind you is really stupid, and maybe justifiably gets you rammed off the road. Not so much the other corruption though.

Don Johnson has been great in everything he’s done the last few years (i.e. east bound and down, knives out, etc). I’m surprised we don’t see him in stuff more frequently.

October 4, 20241 yr If you need to score chick flick points, "Nobody Wants This" is very good. Made me laugh out loud multiple times throughout the series. Jonah from Veep and Willa from Succession steal the show. Edited October 5, 20241 yr by Chuckie Finster
October 7, 20241 yr Another menendez doc dropped today. Got bored and started watching during my chorizo breakfast tacos. I mean do we need another one? I’ve seen what feels like 15. Oh well. Not bad so far.
October 7, 20241 yr Countdown was a pretty good horror flick. About an app that predicts your exact time of death, and if you try anything to save yourself... Well you gone die.

I enjoyed both, wife left me to watch loudermilk alone after 2 episodes. she and I are all in on nobody wants this. it's legit funny with two insanely cute leading ladies. the rabbi's beard is dreadful though. Edited October 8, 20241 yr by troph
October 8, 20241 yr I need to rewatch Shot Caller. I couldn't remember if the DWI crash killed people in another car or just the people in his car. Not that I have a soft spot for drunk drivers, but I always roll my eyes at the people in the car with the drunk driver being described as victims. There are obviously scenarios where they could be victims, but for the most part if you go out drinking with someone and you get in the car with them you are complicit.

Dahmer one was better. This is just hours of "i got molested". I think I am to the episode where it goes into mom backstory so maybe it will be different than the first half. I probably would have rather just watched the doc that came out like 3 days ago that someone mentioned
