Just watched the first 2 seasons of Shoresy and LOVED it. Started letterkenny because or that, 1st season was OK but I liked the 2nd far more. Shoresy is much better IMO and a lot of letterkenny goes over my head

I finally watched "Sinners." Holy hell, what a cinematic execution. The layers of messaging and metaphor, pacing, the music, dance numbers, editing, use of aspect ratio changes, lighting, costumes,, use of color and color grading... I watched it twice back-to-back.

Some cynical, racist mouth-breather tried to tell me it was just a remake of another movie (not saying which one, just in case there is a person who also escaped hearing about "Sinners"), but set in the Jim Crow South. This is one of the rare cases wherein the remix is superlative to the original song, and Hollywood managed to upcycle material.

Newest ep of The Pitt. Started watching ER.

I watched the new scrubs reboot. Not the same as the original, but not bad either. Surprisingly excited about it and I hope it gets another season.

Watched Happy Gilmore 2 last night.

It wasn't awful. But it wasn't as good as the OG, either. It will be easily forgotten.

I finished off The Venture Bros and it makes me sad they were forced to conclude the series so suddenly. The final film did wrap up some loose ends pretty well though.

Binged Overlord. It was ok, I enjoyed it, but I expected better. I prefer the novels though.

Now I'm finally watching Arcane season 2. It's a visual masterpiece.
