That would be a great credits scene. "Dr. Sattler, what about if we raised the grant amount--" "Stop calling me!"
The count of three isn't a plan. It's Sesame Street.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Vonnie, I liked both Yojimbo (it was the inspiration for one of Clint Eastwood's westerns) and Cronos ... I'll have to check that out!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Went and saw A Quiet Place tonight. Good stuff. Several jump scares if you are one who does not like that, but mostly it is anticipatory scary.
I did not understand one thing what started the water that flooded their soundproof space?
I think it was really well done. Lots of it with no music, only background noise to the scene. Not a ton of explanation which I think works.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
FINALLY, the next Bill and Ted sequel we've all been waiting for: [link]

I saw Solo this afternoon. I liked it. It wasn't mind-blowingly good (i.e., it wasn't Black Panther), but it was a fun two hours. There was a strong film noir feel to several plot points, which I enjoyed. The actors playing Han and Lando were plausible. Seeing how Han and Chewie met was fun, and seeing the Millenium Falcon all shiny and new was also kinda nifty. So if you have a spare afternoon or evening and $10 (depending on location) you could do worse.

I agree. While there is quite a lot of box-ticking about it, Solo is still a good way to spend some time, better than some of the reviews are suggesting. Mainly because of the actors (though admittedly I'm still a little bit in love with Alden Ehrenreich after Hail, Caesar!).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Huh - I was really disappointed in Solo, and I don't think I had very high expectations. I think the actors did their best with the material they were given, but to me it was really obvious that half the movie was scrapped and reshot. (Emilia Clarke's character in particular, I feel like they didn't decide on a direction for her until very late in the game, so from scene to scene she was playing it one way or the other but without a consistent throughline.)
I'd rather see a movie about Lando and his droid co-pilot. Or about Thandie Newton and Woody Harrelson.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And did I just hear that a character was re-cast from Michael K. Williams to Paul Bettany? That sounds like a downgrade.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
Solo had an awful lot of fridging of females for manpain. I would have had no problem with Woody Harrelson's character trading places with Thandie Newton's. That said, it's a fun heist movie--I do enjoy a good caper. Donald Glover was as brilliant as I expected, and Ehrenreich did a pretty good Young Harrison Ford impression.
