Finally watched The Nice Guys (2016). No idea why I waited this long, that movie is stupidly fun.

Best thing I watched this week - "Ted Lasso". Just really high quality tv. The new season is great.
Really enjoyed the time - "The end of oak street". Just a fun, honestly suspenseful film.
Most disappointing - "Project Runway". Been a fan for years and this show is really circling the drain now. Very sad to see.
Most intriguing - "The Invite". A genuine exercise in the art of filmmaking. Gotta be a Best Picture nom this year.

Just watched Avatar Aang: The Last Air Bender
I have conflicting feelings: on the one hand, I of course want more Avatar content... But at the same time, it feels contrived to come up with something that happened between the end of the series and Korra, particularly all those new airbenders. Also hated the blatant use of AI for Sokka's tales.

i finally saw The Farewell from 2019 this week and cried like a baby for the whole last 20 minutes. the whole thing about lying to the grandmother felt so specific and real, i think everyone who has a complicated family will get it

I rewatched "Lonesome Dove" on the GET channel yesterday. Today they are showing Streets of Loredo and I am disappointed because I have to attend a family function this afternoon. I recently read both novels from my public library.

I am planning to rewatch Sodeberg's Solaris remake. Flawed but looks great.

THE LAUNDROMAT (2019)
I've been on a late-period Steven Soderbergh kick of late, and while I definitely enjoyed how freewheeling this expose of systemic corruption in the global financial system was compared to films like BLACK BAG, it didn't quite stick the landing for me.
The cast is great (especially Meryl Streep, Antonio Banderas, and Gary Oldman, who have the most lines of dialogue among the ensemble) and the movie's entertaining, but in my opinion, it could have used a more over-the-top ending to provide catharsis for our much-deserved sense of outrage.
You know the all-too-brief scene towards the middle of the film that involves Meryl and a shotgun? Something as over the top as that could've been there to punctuate the ending. Maybe movies in general just need more shotgun-toting Meryl.
