Just typed out a fairly substantial post on Murder, She Wrote: The Last Free Man. Ended up deciding I actually did love it as much as I should and got logged out regardless. Check it out. Phylicia Rashad, David Ogden Stiers, young Walton Goggins (should have been cast as the bad dude), the lady from Empire, Michael Jace, Tim DeKay, antebellum hottie. Angela also playing a relative of Jessica’s (always worth watching/rewatching).

Bruce Lee movies.

Grew up during Ninja/Martial Arts craze in the 80s...read Black Belt magazine... Ordered throwing stars and Nunchucks...I think they were rubber, legal... Nonlethal.

So Bruce Lee is my kid wheelhouse.

I mean I liked them but never loved them...and certainly have never rewatched a Bruce Lee movie as an adult. It seems like another world.

Red Dawn - the plot seemed stupid to me with kids fighting the Russian army.

I was in the target demo for Fight Club and I love the actors in their other movies, but never liked Fight Club. It just seemed dumb to me, although I appreciated the plot twist.

Not a movie nut Breaking Bad for me…
I’ve watched the first several episodes 3 times and I can’t get into it.
Not sure why.

Yeah the thread about it just reminded me how overrated it is.
