OT: Consolidated Entertainment Thread (TV, movies, books, games) part VI - use spoiler tags!

I look forward to the remake of Moonraker where they take one of his phallic Blue Origin rockets to space.

Even better, combine the Blue Origin and Austin Powers rockets.

I stopped drinking during the week for the last year or so. To be honest, it feels pretty darn good.

I've cut back big time on the bourbon intake thanks to finding thc/cdb drinks and gummies that have no hangover aside from a dry mouth first thing in the morning and wrinkles from sleeping so damn good I don't move. I am as far as you can get from a stoner/hippie type but damn there's very little downside to a little bit to replace the alcohol buzz you come to count on.

Perfect, Bezos does look a Bond villain...

Weird musical choice aside, I can't wait.

F YEAH. You're right about the music but it will be the normal orchestral stuff we're accustomed to in the show - this is just to get folks pumped. Can't wait for more Saw too.

Watched Gladiator 2 on my flight back. Enjoyed it a lot which surprised me since many people didn’t like it. It kept me guessing and left me shocked many times

Started book 4 of the Bobiverse. It's entertaining but getting a bit repetitive. Hoping it freshens up a bit to keep me going into book 5 in a bit.

Agreed. I’ve finished through 4 and I enjoyed the go through but I was ready for a break at the end.

Article says no foul play so I assume carbon monoxide but awful story, RIP...

He was underrated and always great in roles I watched. It must have been something like carbon monxide for the dog to also go.

Also carbon monoxide or not its a reminder that carbon monoxide detectors are pretty cheap and there's no reason not to have a few of them in your home.

 

[Satans Hockey]

Apparently not carbon monoxide and it's being called suspicious now, whole thing sounds terrible...

Gene Hackman, Wife Betsy Deaths Called 'Suspicious'

Gene Hackman's death and the deaths of his wife and dog are puzzling authorities, who have labeled his passing "suspicious."

ok so hear me out... Dinner for Schmucks.

I remember the previews when it came out. It looked so dumb. Watched it tonight. And it is dumb.

It's dumb, but also so well-written to be that way. Very clever. Carell is so awkward, but a bit different from his other roles. It's extremely cringe. Basically Dumb and Dumber meets Curb Your Enthusiasm (where you see the crash coming... and you know its going to happen).

 

[Ripshot 43]

All episodes but the finale are streaming now. Highly recommend but don’t want to give too much away.

A Real Pain with Kieran Culkin and Jesse Eisenberg, who wrote and directed, was great. I was talking about how Zone of Interest was a redundant and borderline insulting Holocaust / WWII movie. This is the opposite, but it's about so much more than that.

Normally I don’t give a damn about the Oscars because they’re a stupid vanity exercise for the industry. However, i might have to tune in for Conan O’Brien. He’s certainly the most interesting choice for host since Jon Stewart.

Gonna be a must-watch for my wife and I. The trauma descendants of Holocaust survivors is an angle that is very prevalent in real life but somehow has never really made the jump to movies.

 

[My3Sons]

My wife loves the red carpet show and thr Oscars. Apparently the Oscars started early at 7 EST tonight. I’m guessing they wanted to make sure they grabbed the audience early so they don’t all turn to watch the Devils game

Saw this incredible Wood Duck earlier today. Light hitting just right and just gorgeous.

Found a female mallard he was smitten with

That looks like one of those ultra realistic paintings the color are so vivid. Never seen wood ducks go for mallards before - that must have sounded... interesting.

HAHA holy shit.

Working my way through S1 of Severance so far and loving it.

Well, Emilia Perez certainly shot its Oscar sweep chances in the foot. Not the first time that's happened this decade either- Power of the Dog was on track for the same thing a few years back until the director got cocky and said things that, looking back, are quaint compared to what happened this time around. Come to think of it, that was also a Netflix-distributed movie. I hope that service never gets a Best Picture.

Unlike the year that Coda benefited from Oscar politics going wrong, Anora seems like it's actually worth the hype. I've heard lots of good things about it.
