I watched The Social Dilemma on Netflix. Mostly confirmed what I already knew/suspected. Everyone should watch. Truly terrifying.

Saw Rocketman last night on Amazon. Going in I was actually more excited to see Bohemian Rhapsody but I ended up liking Rocketman more in the end. Great movie. Taron Egerton was fantastic. Iā€™ve known Elton Johnā€™s music in a passive sense my whole life so it was really cool to see the story behind it all. Solid film.

Also I started The Boys because of you dingdongs in this thread. Iā€™m on S1E3 and I gotta say, itā€™s pretty fucking cool (and I donā€™t even like superhero stuff.) Looking forward to binging on whatever free time I can find.

Great decision. Please report back after S2Ep3 because Iā€™m still laughing at that fucking scene

Canā€™t believe Iā€™m saying this but same. Just started episode one. See if this can overcome my superhero hate.

Being on S01E05 right now, I agree with the +1 part, but I feel this might actually deepen the hatred while loving the show.

I hated The Boys comic but maybe Iā€™ll check this out.

You know the story behind the casting?

Elton John heard Taron Edgertonā€™s performance in Sing! and basically said he would only allow the movie to be made if they gave Taron the part.

Not sure if anyoneā€™s mentioned yet, but as I am a sucker for all things Sherlock Holmes, I of course watched this the day it came out. Can report itā€™s fun and charming and Millie Bobby Brown is excellent, Sam Claflin as Mycroft is delightfully hateable, and Henry Cavill as Sherlock is weird but it somehow works. Fiona Shaw steals every scene sheā€™s in, too.

Itā€™s really MBBā€™s movie, though, and seeing all the articles and clickbait reviews talking about Henry Cavillā€™s Sherlock Holmes movie is really incredibly tilting and is a perfect example of implicit sexism in entertainment journalism.

Been dying to watch it. Glad you like it. MBB looks like she killed it.

Itā€™s based on a YA series of books, so temper expectations of seriousness, and know thatā€™s the lens it takes into the world. Still better than a lot of other YA adaptations that have come out over the years.
