I’m killing myself. Don’t worry, not physically. The only way for me to have a fulfilling life and the life I want is to say goodbye to the “little guy”. As my former sales boss said, “you’re getting there...but you’re still a little guy *thumb and index finger*. I have to be a man. I’m a good looking guy I just need to say goodbye to self defeating habits I’ve engaged in for a long time. Living with my parents almost encourages me to have this emotional wall built up to not be assertive.

I need to move out. I have friends now and I can do it.

The “little guy” isn’t getting laid very often. The little guy isn’t even little. He’s 5’10 and well hung.

It’s the only way. I don’t want to be depressed my entire life and I have to remove this wall.

Or I can keep the wall and be depressed the rest of my life and marry some raspy voice psychopath that treats me like shit. Because that’s the only girl who wants the wall.

I’ve made real progress. Every one around me including my doctor thinks I’m there. But I’m not.

Goodbye masochistic sissy boy. It’s time to be normal again.

What it is, is repressed anger. What I need to do is expresss my feelings outwardly and for those expressed feelings to be that of love and of service to others.

This show stinks.

John Oliver’s obsession with Adam Driver has been hilarious.

Probably cranking through Homecoming on prime this weekend... will report back to you....

That’s it? No comment on Christopher Nolan’s upcoming release? Sheesh. You’re slipping, DR.

[InTenSity]

Last night I watched fast and furious presents Hobbs and Shaw, or something like that. I'm not really a fan of the series and went on with low expectations. I'm not saying rent it, but I also didn't feel like I wasted 2 hours in the movie either. I laughed, I cried, I kept wishing the the rain scene would have the main female braless, but she wasn't.

[Rocinante]

Did you actually cry?

You calling him a liar

[AvgMSUJoe]

Homecoming season 2 is fast and worth it.

[InTenSity]

Did you actually cry?

Maybe, why?
I'm in the last episode of the loop, an Amazon original. It's like a retro futuristic sci-fi. I'm not sure how to describe out, but the piano reminds me of the leftovers.

The Loop was good. Weird pacing when watching, but the stories were good.

It gives me insight into who you are. For instance, I cried while watching great performances with Scott Yoo learning about Bach. The way that he and others would just pick up their instruments and start hammering through some of the most complex and beautiful music ever written was moving to me. I also cried the first time I saw the notebook. Although I was in my 20s then. I don’t think I would cry now even if it were the first time I saw it. In different now.

Finally finished Better Call Saul season 5. What a great season.

I really hope Kim doesn't die.

Homecoming season 2 is fast and worth it.

Fast? Good to know. That wasn’t the first year at all.

[tGreenWay]

Jo Jo Rabbit was very good. Let’s call it a light-hearted black comedy.

Terminator Dark Fate was pretty good, too, but damn, Linda Hamilton’s face looks like forty miles of bad road. She’s spent way too much time getting tan and smoking Camel Unfiltered.

tWife and I watched the whole thing in one night... Pacing was good too.

If you like homecoming you need to watch all of Mr. Robot. Basically it’s Mr. Robot’s less awesome stepchild.

I did. That was trippy in the middle. First and last seasons where pretty damn good.

The Leftovers was one of my favorite series of all time. Knew when to quit before flaming out.

I'm looking at you Game of Thrones.

Mrs. GreenWay mentioned that a few days ago. I’ve heard excellent reviews.

[MiamiSpartan]

Inhuman Resources on Netflix.  It's a French 6-part series, but they have English dubbing (though I preferred it with the original French audio and subtitles, as the actors doing the dubbing kinda sucked).  It's about an unemployed 50-something that is on the verge of snapping.  Sounds cliche like that, but there are some good twists and turns.

The star is Eric Cantona, who happens to be one of my top few sports heroes of all time (Magic-esque), but he's been acting since he retired 23 years ago, and has carved out a pretty solid career as such.  So while I may be biased on this series, the reviews are pretty good, including for Cantona (don't confuse reviews for this with the 2012 film by the same name).

It’s up there with my favorite shows of all time but it’s not perfect.

The Vast of Night on Amazon.

If you’re a sci-fi guy, watch it. So good.

Perfect shows/series are a rare commodity.

Several episodes into Schitt’s Creek. I’m withholding my opinion for now in order to give this show a chance, especially because it’s Eugene Levy. I admit being surprised to see it’s in season 5.

It picks up... At some point the over the top-ness of the characters all feeds off itself and the writing becomes more substantial on some story lines.

[AvgMSUJoe]

Bay-Bay cracks me tFuck up... not sure why.

[Watch Out Pylon!]

Watched Uncut Gems last night. I don't get the hype. It was basically a two hour long panic attack with people shouting over top of others constantly. I guess if you're into that it's the movie for you.

Oh, Sandler's girlfriend in the movie has an ass that refuses to quit though. That was nice.

I watched it the other night. It kept me entertained enough.

But yeah, the near-constant yelling/whining gave me a fucking head ache. It fit in the context of the movie, though.

Watching season 1 of Counterpart and in the 3rd episode there's this commercial playing in a theater about having to report to authorities if you get sick and everyone is wearing face masks in public. This was three years ago. Very weird.

[tGreenWay]

Watched Vault over the w/e. Not The Vault; Vault. It’s got Chazz Palminteri and a cast of mostly lesser knowns. Don Johnson makes a couple of appearances. Based on a true story and set in Rhode Island. Couple of crooks try to make what would be at the time the biggest vault heist in US history, and the money they’re stealing belongs to the Mafia.
It’s only okay. The writing isn’t great and the acting and story are both flat. I’d give it a 5, max.

I generally don't like multi-dimensional or parallel universe plots (except for the one with evil Kirk in Star Trek TOS), but it's still holding my interest after 5-6 episodes. Simmons is killing it in both roles.

[Watch Out Pylon!]

Early seasons Archer still make me laugh.

[tGreenWay]

Watched Official Secrets today. Keira Knightley portrays Katharine Gun. Based on a true story from the UK involving the lies that got us into the Iraq War. Really enjoyed it.

Now into the second season and I’m really enjoying it. Also into season 2 of Handmaid’s Tale and still haven’t lost interest.

Enjoyed Ad Astra.
