This is the first time I'm going to mention a potentially crappy film:
Bushwick (2017)
It stars a bunch of unknowns. It's probably a straight-to-video film. I've only seen the first 30 minutes. Lots of tracking shots, but they do break here and there -- and it's very clear where the breaks are. I personally love tracking shots. It's a weakness, yes. See, e.g., The Player, Goodfellas, Snake Eyes, Touch of Evil, Children of Men. Bushwick is not a film in that class.
Anyway, the film's premise is that some sort of militia invades a particular neighborhood called Bushwick, in Chicago. Or, they may be invading all of Chicago. Don't know for sure. In addition to the tracking shots, what immediately drew me to this film is that it seemed to make the perfect video game -- or the video games that I like. You're a nobody in a big city that is suddenly invaded by armed men and you have to somehow survive. Gangbangers are also involved and you have to deal with them as well. I don't want this game to be like Far Cry 3 or 4 where you inexplicably acquire super powerful ninja assassin skills along the way. I want this to be more like The Last of Us where you're still just an ordinary guy who has to face off against terrible people. Oh, I also don't want zombies. Just men fighting other men. That's what this film is most likely going to feature.
Anyway, the film received negative reviews, including a 44% on Rotten Tomatoes.

I didn't know John Krasinski and Emily Blunt were married. How did that happen? I feel like I've been sucked into an alternate universe somehow.

I know the answer. They were introduced to each other by a mutual friend. She had never watched The Office (his version). He was a big fan.
And now she's the new Mary Poppins, speaking of Julie Andrews.

Would I go with Emily Krasinski, Emily Blunt, or Emily Blunt-Krasinski? Man oh man, terrible choices. I mean, she couldn't make an effort to date and marry some doof named "Lecomte" or "De Oliveira"?

You must have caught the Graham Norton show last night. He told a pretty funny story about some guy he met asking him how he pulled off getting her. (the guy didn't know who he was be certainly knew her)

I have Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri at home. Can't decide if we should watch it tonight.

I had a free Redbox rental code so I watched Atomic Blonde a few days ago. It was average: well acted but very predictable. I probably would’ve been better off renting one of the other movies I was deciding between.
Busy few weeks approaching for me going to the theater: Avengers Infinity War, Solo, and Deadpool 2. Maybe it’s time for me to invest in MoviePass.

I saw Isle of Dogs. Didn't like it as much as I thought I would, but it was still worth seeing. I'm a Wes Anderson fan.
I see it's getting the now predictable criticism. Hell, I read a review in The New Yorker about A Quiet Place that made me want to cancel my subscription. Unfortunately, I didn't have one.
I swear to God, it is IMPOSSIBLE for someone to make a movie these days that won't offend people. We are Dead as a Society.

Instead of asking questions in a vacuum, it's always best to answer them in real life. Go get the same type of car, drive it off a bridge into a body of water, and try to get out. You'll gain insights you never knew you had.
