It’s dumb as shit but made me laugh. Normally I’m not into that kind of shit but I was in a mood. If silly comedy is your bag, do it. Lenny Kravitz is awesome.
And somehow Jennifer Lopez at 53 looks goddamned spectacular. Defies physics, logic, biology. All of it. I don’t understand.
I find Josh Duhamel likeable and watchable in an action role. I think he's even pretty good in a father figure role.
I fucking HATE him in rom coms. Sadly, the guy's so annoyingly good looking that he gets cast in them a lot. [Reply]

Eh, he was OK.
There are a lot of guys that would be a lot better, but there was enough cheese it fit right in there.
Annoyingly good looking is an apt description. [Reply]

I had forgotten how good it was. And knowing the beats that it hits, I can appreciate the nuance I glossed over before.
It is definitely a good re-watch.
i never read the book it was based upon, but the streaming series had incredible screenwriting.
Tons of nuance, and had all kinds of sexual and racial things that could have gotten into tiresome woke tropes, but never descended there.
Ana had obstacles, but was never a "victim." Chess was a boys club, but when she proved her excellence over the board, the chess obessed guys totally accepted her as a peer.
The whole thing about substance addiction, but how the substance addiction helped her visulize chess in her head was an interesting theme, and so much more emotional nuance in the characters was top shelf writing, and the actors executed the parts very well. [Reply]

It's something that definitely wouldn't be made today for various reasons, but it was pretty hilarious.
Denise Richards totally rocked that one piece bathing suit. SHe was a terrible Bond girl but hot as fuck in Wild Things. [Reply]

My wife loves him. He's some kind of spokesman for the company she works for and every time he's in the office she makes sure she goes to work instead of working from home.
A couple months ago they were doing inventory and noticed a tractor was unaccounted for. After a lot of searching they found out that it was still parked at his farm. I guess he used it for a commercial and they forgot to drive it back. [Reply]
Just watched The Menu after Critical Drinker recommended it and it didn’t disappoint. Good movie. It was driving me nuts though as I recognized the voice of the Elsa character (Asian maitre d) but couldn’t figure out where she was from. Turns out it’s the actress from the Night Agent on Amazon. Just looks totally different in both roles with hair and costume. [Reply]
