What amazes me is the porn video store, Trans Canada Adult Video just north on the west side of McLeod is still open.

How the hell is renting porn?

I use the Atlantic stuff. It's not mega-spectacular or anything, but has room for the covers and two discs.

Sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole. These have felt sleeves and are cheaper, and I'm currently looking for higher end boxes to fit them, and still have the disks easily sortable and accessible. No luck on amazon, but the sleeves look good to go. Cheaper than the plastic ones, too!

Watched When They See Us. 4 part series/movie on Netflix, and I believe only on there until March 31st. Easily moves into one of the top 25 movies I've ever seen. It's always interesting when it's based on a true story, and with 4 parts tells a good story of what those guys experienced. HIGHLY recommended.

If you watched Money Plane and thought the only way Kelsey Grammer could make a worse movie is if he starred in one with Nicholas Cage, it turns out you're in luck.

I'd place Grand Isle in firmly in the "so bad it's actually pretty awful" category.

Money Plane is HILARIOUS.

Easily the funniest movie of 2020. It's absurd. Kelsey Grammer's character is named "Darius Emmanuel Grouch, the third" and he constantly refers to himself by his nickname — "the Rumble"

How Did This Get Made did a recent episode on this movie. It's hilarious.



For those who are unaware of this podcast, basically they watch terrible movies and then analyze and make fun of them. It's great.

As an avowed Cage-ologist this is a challenge I choose to accept. It’s in the Hulu queue. The trailer made it look good? Suppose if the Flames deuce it up early tonight I’ll watch it and see if it’s time to pay the fiddler.

I didn't have high hopes for it but the trailer actually did make it look decent.
It was a big ball of lies.

It’s also not all that good. Little nostalgic but not very well put together.

Anyone else watch Eric Andre's "Bad Trip"?

I was wiping tears from my eyes, damn funny.

I don't know. It took him almost three minutes to get naked. He's slipping.

Having now watched Grand Isle I can say one thing with absolute certainty: Downhillgoat and I will never be best friends. Why? Because this movie absolutely rules. So bad it’s awful? So amazing it’s amazing more like it.

Is it southern gothic? Psycho sexual thriller? Cocaine fever dream? No one knows but hot damn it was fantastic. Insane pacing, nonsensical plot developments, terrible accents all around, top notch I say. Not only would I recommend it but I’m upset I waited this long to watch it.
