This is definitely a movie I won't believe exists until it's in front of my eyes.

Saw John Wick 3 earlier this week.
I mean, how can you spoil "He kills everyone"?
Kinda wished I'd seen it in a more packed theater. Mine was half-full, but everyone was pretty into it, which was fun. Everyone clapped when he killed the huge guy with a library book, then re-shelved the book. It reminded me of Arrested Development, when Lucille beats Kitty in a drinking contest, then gets up to go back to rehab and some guy offscreen shouts "She's going back to rehab!!" I wanted that guy in my theater, shouting "he put the book back per Dewey regulations!!"
I don't quite get the ending with Ian McShane; I couldn't really tell if he shot John because he had to and knew John would live, or if he truly was selling John out to stay ahead of the (frankly chaotic when it isn't being bureaucratically stuffed with rules) League or Council or whatever they call themselves.
But the last line was soooo good. Will I be para bellum in 2021? Yeah.

What are y'alls thoughts on the upcoming Elton John film? The trailers I've seen have given me a decent amount of hope, but then I remember how much I haaaated Bohemian Rhapsody and I get cautious again lol.
Also, saw Brightburn yesterday and it was... fine. Not terrible, but leave your expectations at the door if you don't want to be disappointed. Can't imagine it's a movie I'll ever feel the need to watch again but I didn't hate myself while watching it, so that's like a C- on my grading scale

Watched Wine Country tonight. Not a perfect comedy or anything, but mostly perfectly pleasant and sometimes really funny. Just wish they didn’t heed to the standard comedy movie structure of plot (keeping it vague here). But it’s silly to complain about the movie when as a whole it’s perfectly fine.

I really enjoyed it. Good to see so many awesome women comedians being funny.

I’m excited for Rocketman in a way I wasn’t for Bohemian Rhapsody and I think that may be due to the more surreal elements present in the first trailer. It looks like a mix between a standard biopic and “Across the Universe” I’m still optimistically cautious thoug.

I also saw Booksmart this weekend. Pretty solid comedy. I generally enjoy coming of age movies, and this one doesn’t disappoint. Though it’s much more comedy-focused, which is a very good thing. I see so many comedies that don’t actively make me laugh, but this one did. That said, there are maybe a few things I found...a bit much. Some of the supporting cast (the younger cast) didn’t do much for me. And a few of the dirtier jokes don’t land. But overall, it’s one of the better comedies I’ve seen lately.

Detective Pikachu was a lot of fun. The CG was awesome and the "live action" interpretations of the Pokemon worked really well.

There's not a good thread for this really but every once in a while I think of the line Rooster Cogburn yells while charging in both versions of 'True Grit' (original and Coen Bros remake). He's riding towards a gun fight and yells "FILL YOUR HAND YOU SONOFABITCH" which I guess means like 'fill it with a gun' but something about it has always struck me as like, distressingly erotic and sexual. Not contextually, just the phrasing and emphatic nature of shouting that.
I don't think that's a spoiler for the movie but apologies if this bizarre sex confession has "spoiled" your evening
