    I watched F1 and Weapons last night.

    While both were great I rated F1 a little higher.

    84 to 80/100

    joey jo-jo jr shabadoo you know for me, the action is the juice

    new tier - $10 more/month gets you no additional ticket costs or fees and 10% off food and drink

    i only go to alamo for rep screenings since its on the opposite side of the twin cities (west side 4 life) so its of no use to me, but the new tier probably nets out as worth it for folks with alamo as their primary

    The bar I frequented the most in college played Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel every single night. Mr Erlich, while a solid critic, has never been a regular at a bar.

    So Skydance goes from having one movie under their belt (2010), to producing some Tom Cruise movies (2011 onward) to now or very soon owning
    • CBS Network
    • Viacom/CBS w/ many cable channels and networks (MTV, BET, VHI and some production stuff
    • Showtime
    • Paramount Plus
    • Warner Brothers Corp
      • Warner Bros (Films), plus smaller studios like new line cinemas, recording wings for soundtracks and tons of other production.
      • HBO Max plus of course all of the ~dozen HBO legacy linear channels.
      • Bleacher Report
      • CNN
      • TNT/TBS/TruTV etc
      • Golf Digest
      • Eurosport
      • DC Comics
      • Cartoon Network
      • Part ownership of Fandango, which has it's own streaming service too.
    • Discovery and all their channels (Food Network, Oprah Winfrey Network, Animal Planet, HGTV, TLC,
    • 70 theaters
    • Plus some global or INTL stuff I have never heard of.
    Fascinating to spend a few mins on wiki seeing this stuff. Will be interesting if it goes through and how much is shuttered within a few years (e.g Cartoon Network).

    someone will have to refresh my memory but I thought they were siphoning off warner bros the movie studio and the news networks so im not sure if they will own all of those things

    edit: I should have read the whole tweet; I did not realize this is overriding that potential split

    It was cheesy at first, but the King of it all came through in the late 2nd and 3rd act. I kinda liked it.

    Ending was kinda lame tho.

    I fear I’ve become a little 5 star stinker… only got 58/2617

    That said I really am confused when someone is like “I’ve rated only 2 movies 5 stars (or 10/10) in my life”. Why watch them if you don’t like them so much??
