Not WITH her but starring her. *correction OK, that makes sense. I was with Natalie all weekend, and I didn't see you.

That's like that book I read by Charles Dickens. I, too, was surprised to see him there. He being dead and all.
"Whatcha reading?" he asked me.
I showed him the cover.
"Not a fan of chick lit," he said.
I moved to another bench.

Between watching a movie or playing a video game, I'd much rather play a video game. So many movies have let me down.

Stop me if you've heard this before, but I owned a Nintendo Playstation (was that what it was called?) for a week back in the late 80s. Played Super Mario Brothers non-stop the entire time. Decided I needed to return it or never engage with the world again, outside of work. I took it back. I have never played any other video game.
Of course, VolleyTalk ended up ruining my life anyhow. Probably should have stuck with Luigi.

Take me, for example, I'm a hermit.

Video game addiction ruins everything, even this movie thread

Also, movies about video games or people playing video games have not been good. Maybe Wargames (starring Matthew Broderick) and Tron (starring Jeff Bridges), but I barely remember Tron.

That cartoon. Hank something. Amusing. IIRC.

I was forced to rewatch Tron a few years back. The only way I'd consider it "good" is in the hindsight of nostalgia. Movies do generally suck these days. Not sure if it's because I'm over Hollywood or if they genuinely suck or both.

Adam Sandler's Pixels was kind of amusing....sorta.... I think Get Out! is a vastly overrated movie. It's not terrible, don't get me wrong, but not Oscar-worthy. I didn't think there was a single believably real person in that entire movie. It's not a comedy -- not funny -- but it doesn't work as a serious movie either. Somebody needs to tell me what I am missing. Watched "Get Out!", surprised to see it was a contender because it was more like a 'B' movie gone 'C'. I mean c'mon, a movie about "old white people transplanting their brains into healthy young black people" being an Oscar nominee? Kind of stretching it, weren't they? Also watched the Three Billboard movie. The lingering question is why did the "military" guy who Dixon overheard in the bar about killing someone stop by Mildred's store, taunting her about possibly being the one who was last with her daughter? And he turned out not to be the one. And how Frances McDormand got the Best Actress is beyond me. Havent seen contenders from the other Oscar nominee movies, but Frances was just an angry mother throughout the entire movie. Not a lot of range of acting skills...being an angry mother aside.

Finally saw Three Billboards and I thought it was excellent. I know it drew some backlash after the initial raves, but I have no idea what they were. I could guess, but I won't. XAsst had a couple I see.
FTR, I thought the acting was excellent. McDormand, imo, showed a huge amount of range. It was just subtle. Harrelson was the best thing about the movie while he was in it. And Rockwell was great too.
But the best part was the script. Funny, incredibly sad, full of human beings. It was a powerful movie.
As for the military guy, he said he wasn't the killer. I think he just saw an opportunity to mess with Frances. He's a disturbed individual. Perhaps the one character without much depth, but I can excuse that, especially in terms of plot needs.
Man, Woody is a good actor. What a performance. Even reading the letters he wrote.

This is 43 minutes long. I could do two whole missions in this time. Which track should I listen to?
