    What was the last movie you watched?

    Finally got around to watching The Irishman, spacing it out in 3 segments over a day. Despite its prodigious length (3.5 hours), I liked it more than I expected to. It did start to drag after the Hoffa hit, but up to that point it impressed - kind of a Goodfellas without the dark humor/snark...

    local weed growing discussions

    I think they must realize that they're losing revenue to those who drive into DC or Maryland to get their whacky tobacky.

    What was the last movie you watched?

    We started watching Poor Things and only lasted 15 minutes. Too weird to continue.

    What tv show are you currently binging?

    We just started Shogun last night after deciding to punt after the first episode of The Regime. Just the first episode has me convinced that it's going to be really good.

    What tv show are you currently binging?

    We watched the first episode of the dark comedy The Regime on HBO, starring Kate Winslet. I have read good reviews, but I'm not sure we're gonna follow thru on this one.

    Try Sophie's Choice in which she had an epic performance.

    What was the last movie you watched?

    My son's fiance had never seen My Cousin Vinny, so we had to fix that unforgivable oversight. It remains funny after about 10 viewings on my part since it was originally released. Next up for her is Raising Arizona, another comedy classic she hasn't seen.

    What was the last movie you watched?

    Oppenheimer on Peacock. Having read the book upon which it is based, I marvel how someone can take such a book and re-imagine it for the screen. The screenplay was great as was the acting of Murphy, Downey and Blount. Of course, it didn't fully measure up to the book, but movies rarely, if...

    What was the last movie you watched?

    Great movie, though given its length perhaps better watched in installments. What a cast.

    What was the last movie you watched?

    Barbie on HBO Max. We very much enjoyed the first half, but thought it got bogged down in the whole patriarchy theme in the second half. That said, it was a feast for the eyes.

    Name a movie that affected you deeply

    Having lived in Germany for 11 years, it certainly was nothing new to me either. That said, it was one of the only times I left a theater and not a single person was talking to each other.

    What tv show are you currently binging?

    Just started Godfather of Harlem. I think we'll be sticking with this one for a while.

    Name a movie that affected you deeply

    Sophie's Choice and Schindler's List. The audience for both movies left in stunned silence.

    What tv show are you currently binging?

    Yep. Reading the book from the perspective of someone familiar with quality assurance and operational standards for American nuclear facilities was mind-blowing. The lead project manager for the Chernobyl reactor was forced into a posture of frequently just "making do" and "winging it." Just crazy.
