Finished Baby Reindeer. Part of it was boring, part of it was some ****ed up **** and part of it was deep and dark but good. Overall, I liked it but not loved it.

Finished 4 out of 6 of Parish with Giancarlo Esposito, it is watchable, and I will finish it but it's silly, the plot lines are not good.

btw, some crazy stuff in the story that came out recently about him being broke and almost bankrupt, and possibly planning to kill himself in a way that his kids could get money, right before he got the Breaking Bad role.

Fallout was a damn good time! Not that the production and set design wasn’t already awesome but it seems to be pretty bit hit so it’ll be interesting to see what they do with it in season 2. I don’t even remember the last time I fired up my PS5, but I almost want to jump back into FO4 after the show. I know that FO76 is newer but I wouldn’t that abomination if you paid me lol

Two docs on Max are pretty interesting. the anarchists - decent story. I kind of enjoyed the subjects of this doc, their stories and personalities. It's a lot of runtime, so I can't really recommend it. The story doesn't deliver when you're expecting some really crazy stuff to happen at the end.

The Synanon Fix - I'd heard of this group but didn't know much about it. The group kind of spawned all these teen discipline camps, school, and rehab places that were known for physical and emotional abuse. It has the charismatic leader who controls this huge organization like a cult.

First ep of the Jinx S2 is out. I don't know what left there is to report on this story, but I'll keep watching.

Haven't watched Jinx 2 though am excited to watch it.

I suspect it's just going to be filling all the details in on what happens after the bathroom scene from the original.

I'm assuming the entire process of getting the arrest and going to court and all that and getting all the reactions from everyone involved throughout.

Just finished the OJ doc.

I actually didn't follow the entire story too closely at the time as I was just a kid in high school and just assumed he was guilty based on the surface media stuff I caught later on.

It was interesting to watch and get all the details as an adult and see just how crazy it was that he got off.

New Neil Gaimen based limited series on Netflix looks good - Dead Boy Detectives. Should include some crossover from his Sandman series, which I thought was pretty good. Dropped last night/this morning, depending on timezone.

Man I loved EM's old movies back in the day.....48 Hours, Another 48 Hours, Beverly Hills Cop 1, 2, Boomerang, Coming to America, Trading Places, The Distinguished Gentlemen and then BAM! He hit a wall and I haven't liked anything since 1992

I wonder what happened? Was it me, him or something else?

Personally I make it to '99, to include The Nutty Professor and Bowfinger.

Bowfinger is a masterpiece!! And for what it was, Shrek is a fun watch. From that point to Dolemite, yeah… pretty rough. But he bought enough goodwill from the start that he’s probably on my Mount Rushmore of overall favorites. BHC3 is the only low point in his first 15-20 movies. Looking at his filmography, at least 4 of those are on my all time favorites comedies.

Never saw it but just watched the trailer and Eddie was cracking me up so my expectations are up

Bowfinger is also one of Steve Martin’s best projects.

I tried an episode of Dead Boy Detectives, not really for me.

All 8 episode of season 2 of "Them" dropped today on Prime. It's a Horror Thriller Anthology. I never saw season 1 but doesn't matter. First 2 episodes are good, I'm in. Takes shape after the end of 2nd episode.

Oh, and Newman plays the police Lieutenant.

bowfinger is absolutely fantastic

never seen bowfinger

Bowfinger is a top-notch comedy & the two of them [and most of the supporting cast] are amazing to watch.

"Gotcha, suckers!"

All of Me
Roxanne
LA Story
Bowfinger

Steve's made some insanely good comedies.

To add to that list, I watched The Jerk and The Man With 2 Brains a ****-load of times when I was a kid. Loved pretty much all of his stuff. I still pick Bowfinger as my favorite though it may not be his best.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels was very good too

I'll add:

My Blue Heaven
Planes Trains and Automobiles (obviously)

sooooooooooooooo good

Never played any of the Fallout games, but the series is good value so far (even if it is a blatant copy of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly).

Have to add Three Amigos to the Steve Martin list.

It's more an ensemble, but still excellent

My Blue Heaven holds a distinct place in my heart because it was the first "adult" film I recall watching and resonating with where I actually understood a bunch of what was going on. Obviously rewatched later and found I missed boatloads but it was the first film I watched where I finally felt like I began to understand the appeal for stuff intended for adults


interestingly, recall watching dirty rotten scoundrels, which everyone loved but me a few years earlier where I didn't understand why they laughed nor was able to follow the plot - watched it later and finally understood the hype


agreed, all his films rocked

there was something about him that made him funny just from his presence, he didn't even need a joke, like his king tut song, there's no jokes in there, nothing about it individually is funny, but everyone loves it
