Top 100 Short Stories all time... In my top 10

Funny I thought we were talking about I Am Legend : Richard Matheson ... That is a short Story, also Basis of The Omega Man : Campy 70s Charleston Heston Flick.

World War Z : Also a Fantastic Book.

That's something I didn't know I needed!!!

Great to see he kept that watch through it all!

I can’t remember if I had mentioned Lost In Space on Netflix.
The third and final season just came out. If you are Sy-Fi freak like me, it’s good. They spared no expense on CGI and the acting is good and most every episode is tense.
I highly recommend it!

Oh! Also, the final season of Expanse is now on Prime!
I’m not watching the trailer!

Saw a movie on Fetnlix the other night called Pig with Nicolas Cage. Had no idea what it was about. Turned out to be a very good movie. No spoiler alert, so check it out if your in the mood for something different.

I’ve enjoyed LiS (watched it after my knee surgery too). I have not started the last season yet.

I was afraid they were going to cheap out on the last season. Far from it. I enjoyed it!

Licorice Pizza- Weird but good, great cast and acting.

Titane- Super weird, really good in a weird way.

Nightmare Alley- Another strange but good one.

My wife loves dogs and she’d probably dump me in a heartbeat for Channing Tatum.

"probably" ?! lol I know I'd be a goner.

WestSide Story , not a Disney...... oh wait, it is a ditzy musical. Turned it off during the first scene.
.
Went back later and gave it another shot. Chicks dancing is cool. The story was kinda good. Whatever.

Coincidentally and somewhat ironically, I just finished watching it myself. I almost gave up on it a few times as it got slow and I lost interest. But it had a strong ending - not very Disney. I give it 3 out of 5. I don't regret watching it.

 

[Rumpled]

I haven't watched West Side Story but my wife saw that it was available to watch and she said she thought that was very soon.
Told her that I thought it mostly bombed in theaters and with reviewers.

Watched half of "The Tragedy of Mc Beth last night. Tragedy is an apt descriptor. Denzel as Mc Beth and Frances as Lady M. Joel Cohen. Yuck. Give me another Easy Rawlins please.

I just watched The Big Lebowski for the first time.
It was OK. I'm not a great Coen bros fan.
They always just seem to do something odd.
I saw it was on Peacock and figured I hadn't seen it, so I'd give it a go.
So, now I've seen it.

Yup. that's pretty much my assessment.

I saw The Batman. I liked it. Not sure I would have liked it in the theater.

Agree....different kinda Batman flick.

 

[Cyclotourist]

I love Lebowski. I tend to like most Cohen films though. Fantastic ensemble cast that just goes out and nails it. O Brother will always be my favorite Cohen flick. No Country is pretty good, but damn depressing.

The Batman was great; I liked it much more than I was expecting to! Definitely a return to The World's Greatest Detective type of a story. Didn't dig the Ironman bulletproof suit, and third act was meh. But at least a lot less super ninja action which gets old fast. Pattinson's broken Bruce Wayne was an interesting and good take. I blame Voldemort.

Excellent review David. I completely agree - especially the come-back-from-the-dead suit. And the Voldemort comment. Yup. My 11 yo daughter said The Batman was the “gothiest goth who ever gothed…” . "Why is he painting with his shirt off?"

I was expecting another throw-away sup movie, and was pleasantly surprised by it! DC is getting its act together and putting out some good content. Especially the HBO shows like Doom Patrol, Peacemaker, and Harley Quinn!

Peacemaker

That was a gem of a show. Just the right amount of filth and gore......and funny as hell.

Agreed, and John Cena nails the role. They had me with the opening credits:

Cena, Dave Bautista, and of course Mr. Rock are some of the best actors out there IMHO. Especially Bautista. His supporting role in Blade Runner 2049 absolutely set the tone for the entire film.

Here's a Bautista short if anyone hasn't seen it:
