Night Agent making me think I need to rewatch some old 24 seasons (specifically 3 and 5 and Live Another Day).

Somehow I had not heard the Day-Lewis Hamlet story until just now.

I gather that a lot of people are watching The Night Agent because it is reportedly extremely popular. I'm watching and enjoying it too! But I don't think I know a single ofher person who is.

One of the most boring ones!

Like if you sent WAVE a nice letter and a sufficient cashier's check they'd totally make you a movie about Princess Jasmine sinking in quicksand. AI can do that too but there's just no soul.

If you think about it a lot of WAVE movies are based on prompts too.

That quote though is from the amazing moment where the rookie cop gets killed by the armor piercing bullets...another technically tender moment. One of my favorite technically very bad movies.
