There is going to be a new "Joker" flick, Part Deux I think. Just rewatched Joker again last month. Joaquin Phoenix sizzled in that part. The perfect casting for him.

I mean this guy is good. If you didnt hate his guts in Gladiator, you werent watching the same movie I was.

---

there are parts of the first Joker that were not part of the script but they just let Phoenix do something and left it in and it is now iconic improv.. those improv scenes are why he won the award for that film.

---

It was the perfect re-watch for sure. Great acting chops

HIP, a little French bit. Mom with three kids goes from job to job to job. Her biggest issue, she has a 160 IQ, she tends to get bored easily. Its dubbed in English so it flows okay. Her latest job, cleaning the Police offices in Lille. She accidently knocks over a stack of photos from a case they are working on, sees something and notes it on their dry erase board. That starts a chain of events

---

sounds interesting- what streaming service?

---

Just watched a commercial. Turns out that they are remaking HIP in English with Kaitlan Olson, High Potential. Looks exactly the same, just English actors

Tulsa King, S2. Watched the Sylvester Stallone S1 again to refresh my memory. S2, episode 1 looks like it's gonna be an interesting year

Borderlands. Good cast with Cate Blanchett and Jamie Lee Curtis but kinda like you've seen it all before. Kinda a Mad Max Thunderdome type sci fi

I am so over Kevin Hart. He is a one trick pony that was done a long time ago

Watching High Potential, the English version. It's set in Los Angeles. Dont watch the French version if you want to watch the English one. It's an exact match, nearly verbatim

Went to go see Megalopolis, absolute turd of a movie. Coppola went off the deep end and spent $120 million to make a **** of a film instead of passing it down to his kids like a typical boomer.

Its getting torn up in the ratings, for sure. Thanks

The story behind the story is fascinating. Francis Ford Coppela really wanted to make this for a very long time. Personally funded much of this.

New season of Slow Horses is great so far just like previous seasons.

Bad Monkey with Vince Vaughan has been interesting and pretty funny, some flaws but I think worth it. The soundtrack is all Tom Petty covers from a variety of current musicians.

Both Apple+

Grotesquerie on FX. If you didnt like American Horror Story, you will definitely not like this. Same vein of crap. And really bad acting. They totally misuse Courtney Vance, and excellent actor, putting him in a coma to kick it off.

Dont bother.

The Penguin. From the Batman series. You WILL NOT recognize the lead actor. Lets just say it's a lot of makeup and a fat suit.

It's just on the second part now. I think its only going to be a mini-series on HBO

Billions season 8 is now confirmed a non-starter, the universe is expected to continue in four confirmed spin-offs, which all have titles and plotlines. There is Billions: Miami, which deals with the world of luxury aviation sales, Billions: London, set in the English financial world, Millions, which will depict young professionals looking to make their wealth, and Trillions, which will be about the very richest people in the world.

Each series is expected to have the same Machiavellian maneuvering, sharp dialogue, and intriguing plot of the original show.

Apparently they spent a lot of time coming up with the names of these new spinoffs...

Showtime?

The article didnt say. Not sure one channel could put up all those shows as they will be competing for eyeballs.

'Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage' - not digging it like Young Sheldon. Keep replaying the same old jokes instead of coming up with new and inventive ones.

The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh, an Indian family moves from India to Pittsburgh. Decent comedy although some of it is really predictable. Also check out the neighbors husband, remember the obese kid from Remember the Titans? He's not obese anymore

Substance - if you want to see a fully nude 61 year old Demi Moore, she's not bad for her age. But I'm old too! Superhot, also fully nude "replacement" 30 year old Margaret Qualley, for her, but they have to trade places every 7 days. Thats all I will say, but the trailers will tell you that.

BTW - Qualley is Andie McDowell's daughter

Kinda interesting except for the last 30 minutes are so. Could have had a better ending

A mistake in Ep 2. They said that 'exactly like Asimov's story'... not exactly. His story "The Billiard Ball" was about two physics rivals that were after the same gal if memory serves (it was the 60s!). The one fella hit the ball in a multiple wall shot, ending in the "anti gravity" ray that they had set up on the table. Instead of just floating around, the ball stayed in one place while the world turned around it. Of course that meant that it went directly threw his former partner/and rivals chest and out the wall in a perfect hole. Staying exactly pool table high until it met something dense enough to stop it. Not sending it out into space. One of my favorite Asimov stories that this dyslexic kid could understand!

The new Hellboy, please don't waste a minute of your time. Cheap production, average dude is Hellboy. Not sure why they let this piece of crap take the Hellboy name

3 Body Problem?

The book trilogy was interesting. I thought book one was good, book two was very good but somewhat terrifying in its conclusions, and book three was a bit of a fizzle.

Haven't been impressed with Emmy's or Oscar's in years. Those are all about the companies promoting this or that. I am a former member of SAG/AFTRA. All that stuff is a scam

"Rivals" on Hulu. A lot of fun. British blue bloods with longstanding rivalries. Joined by an Irishman and a single powerhouse black NYC gal... what could go wrong?

Again, a lot fun. Got funner as the season goes along
