Just got back from a John Wick 3: Parabellum matinee. Freaking fantastic, of course.
It did not help my burning craving for an optics-equipped pistol one iota.

John Wick 3: By the time it came to the end, I was numb.
Apollo 11--the one made from the actual footage. It was incredible.
Just got back from John Wick 3. Even at 7:00pm on a Tuesday night the theater was totally packed.
Basically more of the same but they made it funny. Or some may say they tried to make it funny and failed. That's subjective but I thought it was funny.
Just finished the Netflix docu-series "Jailbirds" about the lives of (mostly female) inmates inside the Sacramento County Jail. Highlights include things like inmates making improvised dildos and bailing out their toilets to talk to each other through the plumbing (sometimes fishing contraband to each other).
Supposedly the filmmakers were there to showcase the county's work rehabilitation programs, but they focused mostly on inmate drama which turned the documentary into a Sacramento Jail version of Orange is the New Black. While they probably tried to be fair and generally showed the COs in a favorable light, locals familiar with some of the heinous crimes will be turned off by the way the show almost glorifies some straight-up psychopaths.
It's amazing what they can do in there. I saw this guy spinning a book at the end of a long piece of string. I asked a more experienced C/O what he was doing. "Making thread," was the answer. He then pointed out the wind catchers, rings, beaded necklaces, and crucifixes they guy had made from thread. It was pretty impressive stuff.
"Where does he get the thread." I asked.
"That's what he doing now," I was told. "He's making thread out of a plastic garbage bag." It seems they stretch it out, and spin it until it basically becomes thread.
Airplane! was on AMC today.
It was interesting to see which gags they left in; the only one I can think of they cut was where Julie Haggerty was re-inflating the autopilot. (They showed her unbuckling the flap over the "valve", but not exposing it, or blowing it up. They also left our Leslie Nielsen stepping into the cockpit, and excusing himself.)
I've started a new project: Every month or so I, buying a BluRay Disk of "endangered" movies. Blazing Saddles was delivered today...
Watching Season 5 of Bosch. Still liking the series, but I swear every time I see him grip his 1911 I want to smack the technical advisor. :)
