I can't believe it's getting these great reviews. I guess when every other blockbuster is some goofy cartoon character movie it looks better in comparison 

IMO it has to be on name recognition alone.

You know how when you're flipping around and you stumble on Casino or Goodfellas and you start watching even though you've seen them a hundred times? I don't see that happening with this. Like visiting New Oleans, one time is enough.

I said the exact same thing earlier.  I can watch either of those,  no matter where I happen to catch it while channel surfing.  The true test.

I almost never get to the movies but I saw Parasite last night, Korean movie that’s getting some best picture talk. It was 15-20 minutes too long but overall it was a great movie that will probably get some Oscar attention.

Everyone I know who’s seen The Irishman says it’s sucks. I will catch it eventually.

I don’t know what Motherless Brooklyn is about but I hated the one Dave Eggers book I read. If it’s like that one no thanks.

Midway is supposed to suck.

Roadhouse was on last night. I actually saw the beginning. Classic.

Motherless Brooklyn is not Dave Eggers.

Not sure why I thought that - thanks. 

I read Fortress of Solitude by Letham but don’t remember anything about it.

I’ve only read Motherless Brooklyn, mostly for its portrayal of Tourette’s. Not really a detective novel kinda guy
