Saw Marty Supreme yesterday. Probably the best 2025 movie I have seen

Chalamet is fantastic. And George Gervin!

Also:

Finished Pluribus. Gilligan shows look great but not sure how much I love it
Finally started The Pitt, first 4 are pretty great.
Started S2 of Landman. Still enjoyable but someone needs to punch the daughter in the baby maker

Landman S2E9 (sp!)

Still only a handful that I dropped midseason. It’s one of them.

The plot and the dialogue were totally corny

I’d still give it pretty high rating overall, I just saw a few things better this round. That and avatar were basically tied, but seeing avatar in the theater gave it a slight edge

Never saw MI:2 which most folks have panned, but it was easily the worst out of all the rest. Silly plot, meh villain, and not even especially good action. The underwater set piece was just boring, while the plane one had a lot of cool bits it had others that undercut the sequence.

I also rewatched Dead Reckoning to refresh my memory. I liked it more than I did the first time, but would still put it next to last, although it was far better than Final Reckoning.

Yeah, really bad. Still some incredible set pieces, but in between so much unnecessary exposition*
