Quote from: The Brain on December 27, 2025, 09:47:24 AMOne Battle After Another. Unwatchable. Quit after 15 minutes.

I'm at an age now, where I rarely make it through any movie longer than 90 minutes; but I did sit through this one. It wasn't great, but I did find it watchable.

Quitting OBAA after 15 minutes is an indictment on the viewer, not the viewed.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Quick and dirty while I sip coffee:

Marty Supreme: 9.5/10, showcasing which of the Safdie Brothers has/had all the talent. Want to watch again ASAP.

The Chair Company: Tim Robinson finally connects with my humor bone. Couldn't get enough. I'm at my limit. 9 mattresses in a hallway out of 10.

Train Dreams: Quiet, thoughtful, and poignant. Beautiful film, enough to make me read the book.

So, based on social media latest season of stranger things sucks, huh?
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Have only seen a couple of episodes yet. So far it's just more of the same. My impression is that the season won't add anything significant, and that they could have ended the show after S4. But I'm ready to be surprised.
