New Blood was so bad that I refuse to give Original Sin a chance. That's just me.

In the last couple of weeks every other YouTube video I watch is preceded by Republican party brain-rot.

Are others seeing this crap too?

Is this YouTube's way of convincing me to pay for YouTube Premium? They may have finally won.

Just scroll past it. I ultimately left Twitter because of that crap. I refuse to get up in arms because such and such fictional Disney character got colored swap. Any adult that has time for that crap has way to much time on their hands And don't get me started on the red pill crap that keeps coming up. I'm not taking advice on how to treat women from some dude who spend 70% of his time on Twitter. I'd rather get advice from you. Or better yet, just tune in PornHub for as long as it stays legal.

Can't scroll past anything. Advertisements played with no skip option, before you're able to watch the video you actually clicked on.

YouTube Premium is $140 for a year. What a racket. But I'll pay it to keep the piece of shit off of my screen. It's bad enough that he's in the White House.

Finally saw Sinners and maybe I'm losing it and becoming out of touch but I thought it was overrated and boring.

I wouldn't call it boring, but I wouldn't call it a flawless masterpiece. There were certain scenes that bothered me with their level of goofiness. But definitely a solid film overall. I think the Sinners hype says more about the general state of films in general. I guess it would be considered a masterpiece compared to the major studio slop that's come out this year. I saw Thunderbolts about two weeks ago and I was thinking 'this movie is aight, but I still give it a B-.' Of course it looks like A compared to the last Captain America movie.

A reviewer compared it to the 1980s movie "Crossroads" with Ralph Macchio and Joe Seneca. So I want to check it out.

Surprised they havent done a hip-hop sequel to "Crossroads". With Macchio playing Seneca's part.

It was a decent flick until the Raindancing vampires showed up.

Watched this season of The Bear. Thought it was hit and miss like last season. One reviewer was right about Carmy going full Emo. Will be interesting to see how the last episode impacts next season.

Watched the first episode of Duster. Pretty good. Sometimes they go overboard with the 70s soundtrack, we get it. And the lead looks like he stole his hair from a 20 year old lol.

Sinners could have been amazing. They were on the right track. Some things dragged on bit and the end was almost great but a bit clumsy.
I lowered the bar on expectations and was cool with it. Maybe more music? Maybe more bit more back ground on some other characters?
Not saying everything has be a ten hour streaming series. Delroy Lindo was great, they he was not. Little more back ground on the twins? Not much, just a bit more. They came close. Good enough HBO/Max kind of movie and worth it.

When I first moved out to the sticks ten years ago, I would play this song on my back deck at sunset. One of my favorite chill-out songs. Great beat.

I put it on the same level as From Dusk til Dawn. Wrong cast and both movies would be trash. The acting in Sinners was strong across the board, especially Delroy. A lot of his lines would've been butchered in the hands of a lesser actor.

Acting was very good. Women were spot on also. Jordan as twins was cool. Vampires? Just a bit more back story on where the 1st dude came from?
Preacher Boy was ok. Voice was good but again, bit shallow on him. Production values and photography was great. more story line and less gore? few dialog scenes did drag on. This could have been exceptional! Your right about the cast. Lindo was awesome but the later scene script got weak.

That was Preacher Boys first ever acting gig. I think he did really good when you factor that in.

Is he going to reshoot the movie and do it better? Why do I have to factor it in.
We talking about Miles Caton or Kolek? I did not feel thing from his performance except when he was playing and or singing.
As a musician perhaps he is awesome!
As an actor he did fine for his first movie, but was it great? No. Was it the script? The director? Was it a great movie? no. I thought it really could have been. I was entertained. I liked it.
First role? yeah, he did good. It showed.

Prime Days. Bought a load of stuff I don't need. Saved a bunch off the artificially inflated prices!!!

And now I think I'll go try out my new hula hoop.

104 days until next season.

I'm not the current president. I don't feel the need to control narratives and censor thoughts. You're free to make your own decisions. I'm just saying when you factor in that this was the actor's first role, then it makes his performance impressive. I think Cogler gets back movie rights in 25 years, so maybe he does a remake.

I've seen a bunch of airfryers on sale that I'm thinking of buying. Also saw some gaming tablets on sale that I'm researching. But there's a part of me that's on some phuck Jeff Bezos shit.

I really enjoyed Sinners. Thought the mix of horror, humor, and social commentary was entertaining . The musical numbers were fun as well. This type of film is more in Jordan Peele’s wheelhouse. But I think Coogler made a film that was light and heavy in equal measure. Peele would have leaned on the heavy I think.
