That movie has full sleeve tattoos, wears cargo shorts and a wife beater, and has an IQ of 85.

Soooo...This guy:

Cargo shorts and a wifebeater tee would be an upgrade.

(And note, I eventually would like sleeves. Dicks.)

Have I shared my theory here that there has only ever been one Fast and Furious movie made, that they just re-edit it and release it as a new movie every year and no one notices?

i was sick as a dog last week (Tue-Fri in bed.) A sampling of what I watched:

* Tomorrowland. Clooney and a cute girl in an oddly satisfying sci-fi deal. Recommend, but not highly. (Amazon Prime? pretty sure)

* Barkley Marathon. Documentary about an extreme race put on by this dude in TN. In the Smokey Mts and it is f'ing brutal. 5 "loops" of 20 miles, with elevation that amounts to climbing and descending Mt. Everest... twice. But it's not this gritty, gnarly movie.. it's more funny, clever and kind of heart warming. Definitely recommend. (Netflix)

* I'm With Phil - Documentary about a dude named Phil Campbell who finds out that there's a town in AL that bears his name. He decides to get all the guys in the world with the same name to have a kind of reunion there and they pull it off in the 90s a couple of times and it dies down. Fast forward and the town is celebrating it's 100 year anniversary and he wants to do it again. Planning is going well until... a huge tornado comes in and levels the place. Now the Phils are coming, but it's a relief and fundraising effort. This started off kind of goofy, and turned into a bit of tear jerker (in a good way.) (Netflix)

* Mr. Right - This is a WEIRD f'ing movie, and I loved it. Stars Anna Kendrick (heart emoji) and Sam somethingerother. He is an assassin and she's a goofy young lass who is unlucky in love. The plot is goofy and totally besides the point. She is a god damn angel and he is charming. Don't take the movie seriously and you will enjoy your 90 minutes of entertainment. (HBO?)

Google tells me: Rockwell.. Sam Rockwell.

I'm watching the 4th transformers movie. I know I have seen it before. And I can't remember a damn thing about it.

Call it off. I remember this ending scene. And also that here was too much human In This and not enough robot.

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Tue Dec 13, 2016 11:27 pm

I am back to not emembering this movie.

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Tue Dec 13, 2016 11:32 pm

Holy shit they are running it back to back. There's an above average chance I won't remember what happened an hour ago.

Christopher Nolan's next movie...about the evacuation at Dunkirk...

Yep...looks awesome...

It's got Harry Styles from One Direction, too!

Should check out "Take Shelter" directed by Jeff Nichols and with Michael Shannon as well. Especially now that you have kids.

That is a fantastic movie.

Not good for a date night however.

It's next in the queue.

I saw Rogue One last night (it turned out my son's basketball game was early enough we could do both). It was pretty damn good. It's hard to say how it would be perceived without all of the surrounding knowledge the audience already has about the world, but that probably doesn't really matter.

I'll avoid any spoilers here. (other than to say that it turns out that Chewbacca is a chick)

I laughed my head off. Very funny movie.

Saw The Hateful 8 yesterday. A bit long, and a bit slow at the beginning, but it had the pet elements of classic Tarantino. I enjoyed it.

We watched a great movie on Netflix last night: Sing Street. About an Irish high school kid in the mid 80's who starts a band to impress a girl.

Done by the same guy who did "Once" and "Begin Again".

Yeah, I watched that earlier this year too. I really liked it. A sweet movie.

Finished Midnight Special this weekend. The scene after the religious nuts take the boy and his parents/trooper come across their truck shot up while the government takes the boy away was gut-wrenching. The acting in the car in that scene was outstanding.

I had no desire to see Collateral Beauty and NOW have no desire to see Passengers after reading this fairly hot fire from Katie Knibbs on The Ringer:

The plot for both of those are super fucked up.

I gave my kids a choice of seeing "Rogue One" or "La La Land" tonight. They picked La La Land.

Well, you tried hard. Tell them good luck in their newly fatherless life. Shame.

La La Land is great.

Hunt For The Wilderpeople (on Netflix) is absolutely fantastic.

I think it's the best movie I've seen all year.

No, we streamed it. Perhaps only in Canada?

But I know it's also on itunes and it is well worth the $6.

(I was going to link to the trailer, but it basically lays out the entire story and ruins a number of the big plot points.)

Took the kids to see Moana yesterday (pretty good, I liked it better that Sing!, which quite frankly could have used more singing) and not only is The Rock a passable singer, they gave him an insanely catchy song. You're welcome!
