Whatcha watching?

"A Football Life" on NFL Network - the episodes about Ed and Steve Sabol, the masterminds behind NFL Films.

The camera angles, the audio, the old grainy footage, the editing, the narration of John Facenda and Earl Mann...absolutely brilliant and timeless filmmaking. Thank you, Ed and Steve.

The new season of The Boys has gotten me to try Gen V since the stories are suposed to be intertwined. One episode in and it’s just as crazy, but it’s definitely geared to a younger audience. I guess I’ll have to look at it the way I saw Buffy all those years ago.
 
First time we took it out from the library; we found a copy at HPBs recently and finally watched it this evening.

A great, and most bizarre of movies! :)
 
Rented ($6) and watched Dune, part 2, today on Prime. In my opinion, better done than part 1. I enjoyed the first one, but the second one surprised me as to how much I liked it.

In the first movie, I thought it was throwing out too many terms/ideas that wouldn't be understandable to some folk unless they'd read the books (I've read 'em all). Might alienate a few people. And that damn female vocal riffing in the music track was way overdone.

Part 2 avoided that. On the occasion an idea/term was used, it was explained smoothly. I liked the flow of the movie, moved along at a good tempo. Most importantly, it didn't concentrate on a love thing between Chani and Paul. Some previews led me to believe otherwise, which was gonna piss me off if they bastardized the film in that manner. The female vocalization on the music track was used sparingly, so yay LOL.

A fine Father's Day gift at an affordable price LOL

I was going to remt it as well, but ended up binging Gen V as a supplement to season 4 of The Boys. It was entertaining, but not as good. I’ll try to get Dune part 2 in sometime this week.
