    Have any of you seen Sinners yet? I'm hearing good things about it from people who say they don't usually like horror movies, and as a horror movie fan I think I need to seek it out.

    I watched the film “roof man “which was a fun little film. It’s about the burglar who enters McDonald’s from the roof, eventually gets caught, goes to jail, escapes, and lives in a Toys “R” Us store for six months evading the police.

    Have not seen. I’m the most detached from any Oscar nominations as I’ve ever been. But Michael B Jordan did, I believe, just win an Oscar and probably it was for this film"

    Yes, I saw it. It was really well done. I also hate horror movies, but this wasn't horror for the sake of horror. There is a lot more infused in it. I have to admit that I think I was tired when I watched it so I wasn't that emotionally invested in it. I'd actually like to see it again.

    okay---i been watching more autobody repair videos, just for fun. One thing i ran across is the technique of using an electric DA sander. It fills a gap between using an electric grinder for rapid stock removal, and a pneumatic DA sander. Yup. Though professional-grade electric DA sanders are expensive, i bought The Cheapest one available, to try one out, and yeah----they are highly effective. Maybe you kids will purchase one, too. Yup. Hope that helps you some.

    You guys! I went to the movie theater yesterday to see Project Hail Mary! This is a big deal because I hadn't been inside a movie theater since the debut of Titanic in 1997, so 29 years ago. It was an experience, with online ticket selection, big reclining seats (that suck if you are little and short because your feet don't even come close to reaching the floor), a bar (we did not partake), and all-automated concessions. We went for the Dolby showing rather than IMAX, because the IMAX would have put us in lousy traffic going home. As someone who just watches movies on her laptop or tiny screen TV, I think it was a fine choice and that IMAX might have made my head explode, lol. It was intense enough for us!

    We went because I loved the book SO much. Like many others, I wondered if they could possibly do justice to the character Rocky, and I'm so glad to report that they succeeded. It was a good time.

    Rosa that *IS* a big deal!

    I got a free Apple TV subscription for a few months and so I’m watching The Studio with Seth Rogen. It is very good, but Hollywood always knows how to make good TV shows about itself. There’s a long line of them.

    Thanks for the review, Rosa, I wondered about Rocky. Listened to the audiobook and looking forward to seeing it in the theater. Think Project Hail Mary qualifies as needs to be seen on a big screen.

    Finished Undercover Miss Hong, a Kdrama set during the 1997 IMF crisis. Hong Guem Bo is an inspector at the Financial Supervisory Services, kind of like the South Korean SEC, when she goes undercover as an entry level employee at Hannin Securities to investigate when her source dies mysteriously in a car accident shortly after their meeting without delivering a key piece of evidence. Hong is 35 and borrows her kid sister's identity to play a 20 year old.

    Fun idea with some twists and turns, part mystery part thriller.

    Saw Project Hail Mary today. I had not read the book. Maybe I should have. Some of the dialog was tough for me to follow. Might've been the sound. Movies are really loud!

    All in all, I thought it was a cross between Silent Running and ET. Ryan Gosling is charming though and did a good job.
    My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!
