I'm on ep 3. It's not bad. It's Stranger Things for 65+ year olds. It took me an embarrassingly long time to recognize Lester Freeman from The Wire. Kinda depressing to see how old Lonestar from SpaceBalls is now.

This little story by Joe Burrow kind of opened my eyes to how I eat and view food.
My whole life I reached for the fried chicken and never wanted the salad. Now I get it.

Man, you guys really are sticking with Gary Oldman's character.
I thought it was easily the worst part of an otherwise really good (not great) movie.
As someone who came in cold, knew nothing about the plot, characters or actors, but knows most of Gary Oldman's work, it was really weird seeing his interpretation of a gangster. It really kind of put me off for the whole first part of the movie. Was it a parody like I'm gonna get you sucker? Was he serious about that? I'm going to have to rewatch because on first watch, it was terrible.
ETA This was the vibe I got: (Can't inbed a video with a time skip in the link, so skip to 1:05)

Can't believe I had never seen this movie until last night. How did I miss it?
Maybe beause I was doing other stuff in 1993? Maybe because of the title - I had also opted out of Princess Bride because of the movie title. But how did it slip for so long? It should have been in my "seen" bucket for decades.
Anyway, great timecapsule movie. Totally wiffed on Val Kilmer's role. The credits have him as "The Mentor" I was all, who TF was the mentor. Had to google it. He was the spirit of Elvis. Now I want to rewatch to see if I can detect Val in Elvis.
The Gary Oldman part was cringe, imo. It walked a line between parody and trying to be authentic and missed both.
It was very much a Tarantino written movie. The violence, the dialogue, all typical Tarintino, but because it wasn't directed by him, doesn't feel like a Tarintino movie.
Overall, the movie was awesome, and wish I hadn't waited decades to see it.

Man, how does she go from posing for Oui in the early 80's, not giving a frick with her A cups and bush so wild it looks like she got Buckwheat in a leg lock - to the Alien cyborg blow-up doll look-alike here?
She was probably the coolest chick of the 1980's, then GI Jane happened, and she went off the deep end with Striptease. Her "I'm cool" vibe changed to desperate-for-work actress before finally punting and going he housewife route. The lady really lost her mojo and forgot what made her unique.
shite, give me a time machine and some hedge trimmers and let me try to fix her.

Just let a good thing lie. Not everything needs to be adapted and even the best adapted version of the Silmarillion would not come across well onto the screen. Some things just need to stay a book.
I agree with every single word of this.
If Peter Jackson is bored he can hook up with Brandon Sanderson on a few of his projects. He could milk those the rest of his life.

I fricking loved going to the movies, but they've made it so damn expensive.
You gotta pick the crowd for the movie.
Star wars, Lotr, Harry Potter type premiere? You gotta go opening night. Watching with franchise fans is awesome, they get so hyped.
Horror movies? Late night opening weekend. Again, the crowd is part of it.
Drama movies/Oscar contenders? Tuesday afternoon. frick the crowd, they'll ruin it.
Basic comedy movies? Watch at home.

I live in Lafayette and they're a nuisance. I don't know how these elderly drugged up medicaid zombies don't plow one every day.
I don't care about kids riding around in neighborhoods. It's the dufus doing 30 on congress backing up an entire lane. Or the moron going down a 55mph country road to get to the dollar general at night.
They need to be banned on all public roads who's speed limit is above 35mph. And banned from multilane highways.
Let em ride on the sidewalk, but make them stop at every cross street.

I hope Brigitte Neilson is leading team Big Bad. Sigourney Weaver could play a big bad too, or Uma Thermon
Charlize Theron will probably be the big good. Have her team up with Angelina Jolie or maybe Sandra Bullock.
I want to see Salma Hayek and Scarlett Johanson cameos.
Lucy Liu, maybe the one of the Couching Tiger chicks.
They gotta throw in some up and comers to mix it up.
Unfortunately with our luck it'll have an Oceans 8 vibe.

Downvoting a TulaneLSU thread is like booing Roger Goodell at the NFL draft. I get why people do it, and think it's funny, but it's not something I'd do.
Thanks for the read TulaneLSU. I appreciate you sacrificing your health for our education/entertainment.

Has anyone in this thread tried smoking bales of weed and playing video games all day in retirement?
I know a lot of guys who were unemployed who spent a lot of time doing that. Figured it was the pro-move.
