Movie theaters are definitely on the decline but I don't know if IJ5 is a good indicator of things. Ford is 80 and a lot of the fans are probably 30-35+. You're not getting the parents and younger viewers you would for the big Disney cartoon movies or MCU/DCU comic book movies. I think MI6 will be big, so will Barbie and Oppenheimer. After Crystal Skull, I'm not paying for IJ5. I will be seeing Oppenheimer, maybe MI6 and probably Killers of the Flower Moon in October.
First I've heard of KotFM. Interesting title. Will have to read up on it. SciFi is my favorite genre.

Not scifi, it's based on murders of the Osage Tribe over oil in Oklahoma during the 20s. Scorsese directing and Deniro and DiCaprio starring. I read the book in about 2 days, a new trailer was released a day or two ago and looks great.

Wife and I started watching For All Mankind on Apple TV. Where the Soviets landed on the moon first (alternative history Sci-Fi). It has great acting and a great script. We've been loving it. Season 1, Episode 6 at the moment.
For All Mankind is fun. Without spoiling anything I'm curious if you'll like it less or more as you progress through the seasons - especially S3.

The Bear is a great show that I strongly recommend to anyone who doesn't mind a stressful watch. Both seasons can probably be streamed in a week.

Yeah, just came back to say I researched it a bit. Having recently finally watched There Will Be Blood, it sounds like I'll have to see it.

I plan to watch both of these eventually. I don't know anything about The Bear other than it's highly regarded. Not sure if I like a stressful watch or not. Reminds me of both Uncut Gems and the final episode of S1 of Severance.

I'm currently nearing the end of S1 of Arrested Development (love it!) and recently finished the current season of Black Mirror. One of my favorite shows and I was surprised when I saw a new season was available. It's taken a different direction this season.

Finished Picard which was excellent and the best season of the show. However, everything pales in comparison to Strange New Worlds. Will watch E3 tonight. Best Trek series since the original in my opinion.

An now I see a new season of Jack Ryan is already upon us. Will watch that and Schmigadoon S2 in the near future.

Yeah - the Bear has similarities in feel to both of those things. But it’s also got great writing, acting and some of the best character development I can remember. It’s the story of a really good chef with some demons who moves home to take over the family restaurant after his brother’s suicide.

If you’re in to sci fi, check out Silo on Apple. First season just ended.

I've enjoyed For All Mankind so much more than Silo. My wife and feel kind of cringe with some of the acting in Silo and the dialogue. There are redeeming moments we've enjoyed, surely, but it's been refreshing moving to For All Mankind. We haven't itched for more Silo. Meanwhile, Sophrina goes to bed and we can't wait to get in the next FAM episode.

Cool. I've been eyeing Silo. The Bear is Hulu, is that right. I'm waiting for the new season of Only Murders in the Building to start that up again. Also have to finish S2 of Reservation Dogs which I loved.

No spoilers but For All Mankind, season 1, episode 8 Rupture was a real soul punch.

End of Season 2, For All Mankind, it felt like I lost my best friend. I've been shook all day. Taking time to grieve before season 3. Fuck.

Dude, spoilers! 😂. I need to go back and watch it…. Started season 1 and got distracted.

Foundation was great…. Waiting for season 2 to fully dump before watching it. Highly recommend.

Hmmmm…. Hope not. From what I read the strike won’t affect anything already past post production. Season 2 I thought was fully finished before the strike….

Season 1 through 3 are available already on AppleTV re: For All Mankind. No need to wait on the rest of S2 to finish production Kryptonic! Season 4 should air in Winter of 2023.

Whatchya playing? I dabble in a little of everything. I’m so ADD that I’ll have the tv on while gaming… lol. Most of the time just to watch daytime sports talk.

I've been enjoying Suits with my wife and when that is done, I'll go back to finish Ozarks and White Lotus with my sons.
