These were probably my five favorite discoveries of the month:

Safety Last
Happy Death Day
Happyend
A Samurai in Time
Predator: Badlands

I'm regretting not specifying "Amazon Prime action flick featuring Temuera Morrison in a significant supporting role," just because I could have.

I mean, it's pretty good for a direct-to-streaming Amazon Prime action flick.

Sounds like relatively mild symptoms. I hear there's a flu circulating that makes you rewatch Morbius.

I imagine Iran is monitoring these markets very closely right now. They may even be placing counter bets to increase the incentive of revealing an impending attack.

It's notable no one on the right seems all that concerned at the way these markets serve as a quasi-legitimate tool for soliciting leaks of classified military operations.

I know we're all horrified by the corruption, but we're also seeing a form of espionage employed in real-time.

I own three of those four movies on Blu-ray, and if a person who didn't know me were given three guesses which I didn't own, they'd guess wrong three times.

The movie isn't great. Of course it isn't great. If it was great, they'd be making you pay money to see it, instead of sticking it on Prime.

But as far as these streaming things go... I had a lot of fun!

The Bluff feels like a movie made to sell Priyanka Chopra Jonas as an action star, presumably in the hopes of landing her a Marvel or something, and you know what?

Give her the damn Marvel.

She's really good at this stuff!

One of the two best "they fucked with the wrong woman, but she's a pirate captain" revenge movies I've seen

Halfway through The Bluff. Priyanka Chopra Jonas is notably more intimidating in this role than in the last thing I saw her in, A Very Jonas Christmas Movie. #filmsky

I'm leaving a list of DVDs I never got around to, so my relatives know which to bury with me.

If you remember Kraven the Hunter, you haven't seen it.

The Doomsday Clock is currently at three minutes past gears and springs bursting out of the top and the rest catching fire.

This is how you audition for a role in the Max Landis GI Joe movie.

It's also worth asking what the odds are that anyone in this administration performed any kind of serious analysis and planning regarding next steps.

Regime change is meaningless if you can't ensure it's replaced with something better. And for some reason I don't have a lot of faith in these guys.

My rule for whether to consider wi-fi has always been, "can I imagine a sci-fi story where this is used to kill me and/or blow-up my house?"

You'd be surprised how often this results in me declining online versions of stuff!

What's funny about this is until AI destroyed everything you could Google this and the top five or six results would just be, "Bluey," and you'd be fine.

But now you're going to be left wondering if Alexa is giving you the right answer, or just whatever Amazon has too much of in their warehouses.

Anyway, I really hope someone does one of these for the Permian before reality catches up with the streamers.

I just watched the first episode of the Ice Age season of Prehistoric Planet, and it's awesome.

I love that shows like this keep getting made. I assume the finances have something to do with taking a tax-write off to develop technology, because I can't imagine there's a good short-term ROI.

Setting aside the fact this guy shouldn't be hired to write *anything*, this seems like a particularly bad project to hire a Landis to work on.

Just saying.

To clarify, the music sounds slightly more upbeat than average, compared to comparable 90's bands.

The lyrics would fit right in.

I think that would have gone over pretty well in the 90's, though. Maybe a bit upbeat for the era, but it's close to a lot of the stuff I used to hear on "alternative music" stations in that decade.

The news today sucked, and I know it can feel like things can't get any better, but this arrived in the mail today, and...

There's still good in this world.
