If there’s one thing the world has learned since January is you don’t [BLEEP] with Ukrainians.

I damn sure wouldn't.

Last night I watched Deadpool. A very fun, very profane movie and very funny.

I binge-watched Welcome to Wrexham and they kept referring to Deadpool so I was curious. That led me to watching it.

I did one time. She was gorgeous. Definitely not wifey material though, way too combustible.

Just watched this last night.  It has some brutal scenes related to body limbs and such but not bad overall.  The movie is a bit slow given its 2 hours and 23 minutes long but I'd have to say the last 50 minutes are pretty good with regard to guessing the outcome of a few personal lives.

Over the last 2 years, I've been able to get a sizable Blu-ray/DVD collection. I mostly like the older stuff when actors were actors and the film didn't rely on CGI effects to be good. I have stuff from the 1940's up (I'm a big Bogart fan) Last night I popped in one of the newer films in my collection, The Big Lebowski........ I found it to be a very strange but also a very funny film.... Maybe I should look in to getting more of the more recent films out on DVD for my collection......... Oh, BTW, I studied Film in HS and College that's where my love of the older stuff comes from.......

Nothing is better than the book. Several movies have been made over the last century (including one with Richard Thomas (John-boy Walton) and Ernest Borgnine) attempting to express the tragedy and emotional turmoil of the book and none have come close. 

Read the book if you haven’t already.

Thanks. I forgot about it. It's been a week of Mondays.

Just wanted to point something out..


Watching Jim Carrey's version of The Grinch, and honestly, Clint Howard could have fit right in with the rest of the Whos, without the makeup..

Dat dood ugly..

Edit:

After thinking more on it.. I decided to call it Chipmunk Face..

Watched Scrooged last night.  One of my new(er) favorite Christmas movies.  Followed with a a double feature of the original Miracle on 34th Street.  Still need to watch It’s a Wonderful Life and White Christmas.

My Mount Rushmore of movie actors..

Gregory Peck
Al Pacino
Clint Eastwood
Jack Nicholson

Honorable mentions:
Anthony Hopkins
Morgan Freeman

Was just sitting here thinking about that while watching To Kill A Mockingbird. Gregory Peck was so awesome..

Can't forget about Cape Fear and Guns of Navarone..

Perfection!

For a not real major player, I've always liked Ed Harris.

Not sure how you could leave Tom Hanks off of that list.

He was definitely on it at first.. Then I thought about Clint and how some of his movies impacted my life..

Dirty Harry was always the preferred choice for me as a kid on Halloween..

Love Scrooged.. Bill Murray and Karen Allen were great together.

We watched Spirited last night, with Will Farrell and Ryan Reynolds. Not too bad actually, it's a musical comedy, follows along the lines of A Christmas Carol, pretty funny, actually!

So let me ask a question in regards to Christmas movies. There's so many good adaptations of A Christmas Carol, does watching multiple adaptations in one season kind of overkill for ya? Cause I kinda feel like that. Love that movie Scrooged, but also like the original Christmas Carol, Scrooged, Spirited, Scrooge, A Muppet Christmas Carol ect ect.. I just feel like if I seen one, I seen them all and it feels kinda ruined for the rest of the season.

I haven’t seen the original Christmas Carol in years.  Never seen the others.

Forgot another semi-new one I like.  The Santa Clause.

You need to include Val Kilmer as "Doc Holiday" in Tombstone.

I think part of the consideration is whether it's a strict retelling/adaptation of Dickens' story, or if they take some liberties to retell the story in a new world (as Scrooged does).

I don't think I'd get as much enjoyment watching say 3 Dickens-specific period pieces, but if we do Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol with the kids, I'm still gonna enjoy Scrooged later.

This is one that wifey decided long ago was an every bleepin' year movie, and I feel like Alex in A Clockwork Orange when we all have to sit around the couch and watch.

Because you know, once you see the first, now we have to watch the sequels, too.

That looks promising.. A John Wick spinoff starring Norman Reedus.

Set to star Reedus, Ian McShane, Angelica Houston and cameos with Keanu Reeves..

Welcome to The Continental..

Everything Everywhere All at Once was amazing.
