TODAY I WATCHED (Movies, TV Shows) 2020

The Carol Burnett Show
Becker

Finally got around to starting The Irishman. Over 3 hours long!

Monday Night Raw
NXT

For the past few nights I've been working my way thru the first season of the short lived "Dilbert" animated series on Crackle. Fun stuff! I haven't seen this show since it first aired on the now-defunct UPN Network in the early '00s.

I never even knew that show existed.

It ran for two seasons on UPN (the "network" that nobody watched) around 1999 or 2000. Daniel Stern was the voice of Dilbert. Kathy Griffin, Chris Elliott, and Jason Alexander were also in the cast.

I never heard of that Dilbert show either - not surprising considering it was on UPN.  But the key question is: Is it any good????

I'm six or seven episodes in and I'm enjoying it so far. My favorite one has been when Dilbert, Wally and Alice had to visit their company's factory in the impoverished, mud covered country of Elbonia.

Just got done watching The Nine Lives of Ozzy Osbourne on demand. Think it aired on A&E a few days ago. It was good, but not a whole lot of stuff that hasn't been gone over a hundred times over the years. Still worth the watch.

A few more "Dilbert" episodes...


Side note, my wife thinks this show is irritating, which makes the viewing experience more fun for me. I'm like "now we're even for those f**king Twilight movies.""  

Last night I watched "Godzilla King Of The Monsters" again.  I still say it's too long and the militant environmentalist subplot is still really irritating but I've come to the conclusion that my favorite monster in the film is Rodan.  He's always looked sooooo goofy in movies but here his design is badass; not even my beloved King Ghidorah looks as good as Rodan does.

Matango (aka Attack Of The Mushroom People)



A group of people end up shipwrecked on an isolated fog enshrouded island, where the only good supply appears to be some strange mushrooms. Needless to say, this doesn't bide well for the people. A bit slow moving but effective sci fi thriller.

The Devil's Rain (1975)



A man's search for his missing family leads him into conflict with a centuries old devil worshipping Warwick in this 70s satanic panic thriller. Decent enough picture with a great cast, with Ernest Borgnine, William Shatner, Tom Skerritt, and John Travolta.

The Boys episode 4

The Florida Project just showed up on Netflix. I had heard about it so I thought I would check it and and it's pretty good. The whole movie was shot on an iPhone! It's about a 6 year old girl and her mom. They are poor and struggle and live in a motel. Really not a lot of plot but it is enjoyable as you see basically a "day in the life".

Finished Season 1 of "Dilbert."

Just noticed that Crackle also has "The Critic," the animated sitcom with Jon Lovitz as movie critic Jay Sherman, so I may check that out before moving onto Dilbert season 2.

Tubi has just added a whole bunch of George Carlin's old HBO specials, so tonight I watched "George Carlin: Again," from Arizona 1978.
I miss George.

Paranormal Caught On Camera

"Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" (2019)

The latest Star Wars trilogy comes to a close, as Rey finally unravels her mysterious past and the Resistance grapples with a newly-revitalized Emperor Palpatine, who has plans to launch an all-new, even more brutal Galactic Empire. As usual, the special effects are first rate and the action zips along at a breakneck pace. Action packed, flashy fanboy fun.

I stumbled across one of those "ad/articles" where you have to ignore/click thru a bunch of crap. I usually don't even click on those things but this one was entitled "The Most Disturbing Movies" so of course I had to see the list. And also of course I own 75% of them and have seen probably 90% of them. But there were 3 on the list I hadn't seen or heard of so I bought them used off Amazon for cheap.

Today they all came in. The movies are:

Excision
We Need To Talk About Kevin
Annhilation

So between those and the IT movies I ordered as well as Joker I have my early post-baseball season elliptical-viewing choices lined up. Still have to work through "Gotham" on the elliptical; I'm almost done with Season 3.

"Avengers: Endgame" (2019)

It's five years after the "Thanos Snap" that eliminated half of all living things, and the surviving Avengers think they've figured out how to go back in time to un-do the damage. Naturally, ol' Thanos isn't going to let them do it without a fight. Cue the blasting, zapping, and exploding.
"Endgame's" three hour (!) running time might seem like a bit much (I had to "pause" it around the mid point for a lunch break and to take my dog for a walk), but it never bogs down or gets boring. Thanks to the non stop action and cameos by pretty much every superhero in the Marvel Universe, "Endgame" brings this "phase" of the Marvel Cinematic Universe to a mostly-satisfying conclusion.

I have to say FF, your movie reviews are always interesting even if they're about movies I have no interest in.   Like that one.  But I still wanted to read what your thoughts about it were.

You are this board's Roger Ebert.

Thanx man. I aim to enlighten and entertain.

Roger was the man, I miss that guy.
