What are you watching & why? (splain)

The rigid ones scare me. Looks like brain damage to my untrained eye.

True, but the crumple ones can look scary too, with limbs going in unnatural directions. But yeah would rather hurt a joint and do some rehab than have brain damage.

Naomi Osaka bothers me. Focus more on the game and less on the fashion! Oh, and she lives and trains in the US, but plays for Japan. F that

 

[Fonedork]

Yeah that seems worth getting upset about

F1 sucks!!!

Technically, any time someone gets dropped, it IS causing brain damage (CTE). The lesions occur even with impacts below the KO threshold (all the repeated hits in football training. It’s not just getting sacked and KO’ed).

As far as going stiff/the fencing response; seen plenty of people (seemingly) recover from it just fine.

TBI resulting in decorticate/decerebrate posturing? Yeah. Big trouble.

"Legends" was entertaining enough for a while, but pretty meh in the end.

At least the heroes were doing heroic things. Characters were all likable which is surprisingly rare these days.

Watched Masters of the Universe this evening with some friends. It was every bit of fun I was hoping for and then some. Heavy bit of '80s nostalgia with Brian May contributing to the soundtrack, and a lot of familiarity with costumes and characters. If you were a child of the '80s like me, this one should hit home for you. Just have fun with it and leave your adult brain at the theater door.

Watched Project Hail Mary last night. It was really good. From the same guy who wrote The Martian IIRC. If you liked The Martian and Insterstellar you’ll probably like this. Light hearted like the Martian and less complex than Interstellar. Spectacular visuals.

I just re watched the matrix movies and I am sad to report that they are pretty dumb

Agreed. The only one sort of worth watching is the first one. We tried to watch Matrix 3 a while back and we were both shocked at how ridiculous and terrible it was. I'm not even sure if we finished it.

Batman and Hawkeye vs. the FBI. The directors cut.

Great movie

 

[oldmanwilly]

I watched A History of Violence for the first time the other night. Another great movie featuring Viggo Mortensen. No wasted scenes.

Agreed. Eastern Promises is another good one with him in it

I’ve been catching up on a bunch of horror movies I hadn’t seen that have come out in the last few years. I really enjoyed Barbarian, Hereditary, and Speak no evil. For shows I’ve been watching Z Nation. It’s a lower budget zombie show, I’ve really been liking that so far. It’s doesn’t have any good acting or anything but pretty entertaining.

 

[Blues]

Just finished "Criminal Record" season 2 on Apple. Worth the watch. Eight episodes.

 

[Danke42]

Witness. Tortured Harrison Ford.

Also surprise topless Kelly McGillis.
