Wife and I have been watching Murderville and it's entertaining. The basic premise is Will Arnett plays a homicide detective who gets a new celebrity partner every episode. The celebrity sidekick has to decide who they think the murderer is between three suspects at the end of the episode (the celeb doesn't get a script, so they don't know ahead of time). It's silly and it's funny. It's sort of reality TV meets sitcom.

Watching quarterback on Netflix….it’s good. The Patrick Mahomes features are good/ although the constant wife clips are a bit annoying. She’s seems like a real clinger….having to go down on the sideline before the game, etc. but they have been together since HS/ so he knows what he’s getting. He seems like a great kid/ really likeable athlete.

The Mariota and Cousins features are good too….I like the behind the scene/training sequences for such high level athletes.

It’s worth watching if ur into sports..

Rewatched David Lynch's 1984 Dune for the umpteenth time last night. Maybe it's my rose-tinted nostalgia glasses, but I don't care what the haters think. I still love this one. Don't get me wrong. I totally get it has its flaws. Particularly the distinct lack of screen time for Duncan Idaho's character. However, the practical effects, the Toto soundtrack, and the overall dreamy feel of it all makes up for its shortcomings. (Not to mention Sting!) I know that Lynch had some wildly long original cut and they had to trim it down to what it became, along with a ton of other production nightmares, but still. I found it to be a great time after all these years. Now, don't get me wrong. The Villeneuve version is objectively way better and is a downright masterpiece IMO, BUT there is always going to be a soft spot in my heart for Lynch's trippy version.

Love the music throughout. I mean come on! You just can NOT beat seeing Patrick Stewart and Kyle MacLachlan riding a sand worm while jamming out to Toto!!! Plus, you just can't beat the ending when the credits start to roll. Bam! Right in the feels.

Anyway, I recommend giving it another visit. A trip down memory lane if nothing else. I got a chuckle out of seeing Patrick Stewart (Gurney) charging into battle while holding a pug. Classic.

Finally got around to watching Beyond Skyline last night. I never bothered with it before perhaps due to its less than stellar reception at the box office and equally bad ratings. Well, that may have been a mistake on my part as I ended up having fun with it. Just like its predecessor, it has great CGI, good effects overall, but this time it had a more variable plot which kept it interesting. At first it seemed like it going to be a rehashing of the same story as told from a different perspective, but thankfully they chose to close that first act quite distinctly as we then get to dive into what things are like on the alien ships. There, it neatly ties together the first film and this one with a solid conclusion of that storyline. Third act goes somewhere else which almost felt like a different film, but I just had to go with it and it was fine. Ending wasn't QUITE as badass as the first films, but it still concluded nicely.

I feel like the Skyline franchise was on the verge of something REALLY good, but was held back by low budgets, not the best acting, and perhaps some scripting or production issues. Still, I feel like the creators gave it a solid effort given what they were working with and at least the first two films end up being quite fun. I totally understand the criticisms they received, but glad I went back to give them a chance. I'm not saying they're GOOD per se from a critical perspective, but I don't consider them MST3K riff material either. I recommend watching them back to back.

If you need a break from all the drama and thrilling tragedy, Fisk is your huckleberry.
Nothing is sacred, all is brilliantly witty.

Jesus Revolution was actually a really good movie. Highly recommended.

Not entirely sure where I stand on this given that I have only really liked one Zack Snyder film (Watchmen), so presently I am on the fence as to whether I will watch it or not…

Also, I am not holding out much hope considering NF’s dismal track record with expensive action/adventure/sci-if films in their increasingly desperate attempt to create franchises…

All of that said, the cast looks pretty solid…
