I just finished the Fyre documentary. Good piece.
Man, so many people got screwed.
ETA: This is the Netflix one.

Watched Hotel Artimis while flying home.
Okay, itâs obvious someone watched John Wick and said to some producer, âthat hotel for criminals is a great ideaâŚletâs make a movie about it.â
And then failed to find a coherent plot.
Itâs one of those flicks that you keep finding problems with hours after you watched it.
I mean Jeff Goldblum will show up in anything, but Jodie Foster?

I guess it should not be much of a surprise that this is terrible 
You could fast forward through it with the sound off and not miss anything.

Which one? There were 2, a netflix one and a amazon(?) one (or was it hulu?).

Saw the one titled âFyreâ. Not sure which one. Iâm pretty sure this one lumped FuckJerry in with âscrewed-over contractorsâ, but I understand another one lumped FuckJerry in with McFarland and Ja Rule as a âscrewerâ, rather than a âscreweeâ.
ETA: The Netflix one.

Watching Deadly Class, very close to the original comic. Iâm enjoying it so far but I must be getting old because I have to use closed captioning for the mumbling and the lighting is in constant darkness. Great alternative 80s soundtrack.

Oceanâs 8. What can I say, I like heist movies, and this was a pretty good example of the genre.
I donât think Iâve seen either Oceans 12 or Oceans 13.
Reminded me of âTo Catch a Thiefâ, for some reason.

Finally got the Roku Express+ set up, with
WiFi via Calyx. Got irregular buffering issues going on ( 
), but right now Iâve got some Flash Gordon (Buster Crabbe version) playing, and Iâm enjoying it.

So I watched Mandy, andâŚHO-LYâŚFUCK.
What do I compare this to? A Clockwork Orange? Texas Chainsaw Massacre? Blue Velvet? I donât know.
What I do know is that itâs something special, and Nicholas Cage was destined to star in it.
ETA: I have to add that Linus Roache is iconic. A very memorable performance.

Stopped half-way through Netflixâs Polar, boy itâs rough. I picture two frat boys jumping up and down on a couch drinking beers. âNo, wait! and then he KILLS the dog! write that down!â A huge waste of the talents of Mads Mikkelsen.

Netflix seems to be following my YouTube watching⌠and totally misinterpreting it.
I watched a takedown of the Kevin Sorbo evangelical movie Let There Be Light (I think I got the link from here), and Netflix recommended the actual movie. I read a negative review of Gotti, and Netflix recommended it.
Meanwhile, stuff Iâd love to watch gets low recommendation ratings, or none at all.
Iâve subscribed to them for years, and itâs like they donât know me.

Fighting with Netflix is worse than the eternal struggle with Pandora.

The Passage Trilogy is one of the best sci-fi reads Iâve experienced in a long time, and the producers of the show have taken the books and flushed them down the toilet. The timeline is butchered. Babcock is now an angsty teen girl. Holy crap.
The one bright hope to come out of this is Saniyya Sidney, who is a remarkable screen presence. I hope she has a good career ahead of her.

Hey, if you pick up a product with that name, and expect anything but sorrows, and possibly the hope for something better, to come out of that box, you have no one to blame but yourself.
