All 3 have gotten mostly positive reviews.
A Star is Born: tug on your heartstrings love story that's so good they've remade it 4 damn times.
First Man: Gritty bio of Neil Armstrong (seems they skip over the part where he loses a ball to steroid abuse)
Bad Times: "a pulpy good time" plus Don Draper with some sort of accent.

I really typed all that out because i'm just not in any mood to do a lick of work today. That story wasn't very good, but I felt like it needed airing. I cannot imagine willingly dating a woman that volunteered her time at a swingers club. She's not even that attractive.

My friend "Ted" married a girl who was so far below the quality bar he set in college it was borderline comical. Everyone knew it was going to be a train wreck. Not because of her looks but because of her early interactions with us all. That's its own story.
After a couple of years he took the divorce papers to her to sign. At the time she was living in a trailer with an Indian guy. Feather. No matter. She stood outside the trailer trying to convince Ted that they shouldn't get divorced and that things would be better if they only had a kid. 'Cause, you know, kids make all rocky marriages that reach the point that you're living in a trailer park with another guy MUCH easier.

If it makes you feel better, I didn’t even read it. I appreciate that you wrote it though.
Im in the garage changing my oil and drinking beer.

Yeah, me neither. We are having some really good leftover Fried Calamari for lunch. Tasty
But I enjoyed the story

I was really disappointed in El Royale. I'd like to see First Man and I'm embarrassed to say I'd like to see A Star is Born. Bradley Cooper is dreamy. I liked Venom a lot.

I'm not a fan, either. I did not know who Venom was or anything about him/the story. Evidently that helped me enjoy it. Sneak in a six pack and get a tub of buttered popcorn and mindlessly enjoy your birthday,

If you thought GM's was long. I feel like I've told this story here before, and I probably have, but I'm trying to procrastinate a bit, so I'll overshare, too:
Ted's on again off again college girlfriend was killed in a car wreck not long after graduation. He moved back to his hometown, and we didn't hear much from him for a while. At some point, I got a call from him that he wanted to come up to visit us, and he was bringing this cool chick along with him. So, we gathered a bunch of friends from college who lived in the area, and we all met at a bar for drinks and darts and fighting and ***... uh, fun.
Ted walked in with this girl whose appearance, I must say, surprised me, but I had no reason to dislike her. We'll call her Jamie. So we sat down and had a few beverages as people started to filter in. We were chatting with Jamie, who was obviously a little country, but seemed pleasant enough. Until Cheryl walked in. Something I should probably point out about Jamie is that she was, as my father would say, a VERY healthy young lady. And she was showing them off. Our friend Cheryl also falls into that description. She was the member of our group of friends in college who was most likely to win a wet T-shirt contest. Which is to say on Spring Break she entered a wet t-shirt contest and handily won. For whatever reason, Jamie clearly immediately did not like her. And the tensions rose through the night, to the point that they nearly came to blows during a game of cricket.
And then Ted's best friend, who is from the same hometown and who we all came to befriend in college, got there. We'll call him Bart O'Cavernaugh. Bart's a great guy. The only people I have ever met who have ever had a bad thing to say about him are women he used to date. Everybody loves the guy. He comes in, hugs all around, we go back to our dart game. As I grab the darts and turn around to hand them to a now tipsy Jamie, she looks me directly in the eyes and says, "I do NOT like him," referencing Bart. Much of the rest of the night was uneventful, but she let me know pretty much all I needed to know about her.
Shortly after we met her, the two of them were engaged. They had a wedding. Outside. In August. In the midwest. It was roughly 185% humidity and 90-something degrees. The rain did let up before the ceremony, fortunately? Yeah, we'll go with that. So we were standing inside this space that's surrounded by 20 foot shrubs, except for the entrance, it's hotter than hell, there's zero chance for a breeze to get through there, we were in our tuxes with sweat dripping off our chins, and not long into the ceremony a bridesmaid passed out. After they got her a chair and made sure she was OK, the ceremony proceeded.
"If anyone knows of any reason this couple should not be married..."
Half of the people sitting in the audience turned and looked at Bart. It was sad and funny and uncomfortable all at once. And I was hopeful he'd say something. And looking back I feel like I should have said something long before that moment. But honestly, then he'd have probably still gone through everything he did with her and I'd just be short a friend. Regardless, Bart stood there as best man and didn't bat an eye, even though pretty much every eye from the groom's side of the ceremony was on him. OK, onward... The ceremony continued for a couple of heart beats until...
*Thunder booming from the distance*
Dude! At this point it's clear to me a deity I'm not even sure I believe in is trying to tell you something. Would you listen? But you already know the answer to that. The rest of the night was fun. And sad. And a picture into a level of redneck I'm not sure I knew existed, even having spent most of my youth growing up in the middle of cornfields. Fortunately you don't feel too bad ditching your sweat-soaked tux when the father of the bride is wearing #### kickers, Wranglers, and a belt buckle that could commemorate a significant victory in your favorite professional wrestling federation.

I like comics and had read the comic books about the origin when I was a kid. IIRC, the back story for Venom is it's an alien creature who latched on to Spiderman, who liked it because it made using the suit easier and it gave him augmented powers. However, it started taking over his mind too, and it's evil, so he wanted to get rid of it, which turned out to be very hard to do. It's a perfectly cromulent back story. That kind of thing happens in real life more than people realize. It's already happened to me 3 times in the past 10 years.

I did not enjoy A Star is Born. Started out pretty strong but lost its way somewhere in the middle. Bradley Cooper is usually dreamy but in that movie all I wanted to do was throw him in a shower.*
*And then do naughty things to him.

Little ####er showed up again a week later and mowed the lawn without asking, then demanded payment. Little mobsters, I tell ya.
Also, last night we came home from a backpacking trip and found a Halloween-related bag with Halloween #### on our porch. There was a bunch of crap in it and a note saying our house is "haunted" unless we put a bag of "goodies" on the porches of two other neighbors and put some ghost thingie on our door saying we are removing the curse. Is this what you suburban people do? FFS. That's what I get for moving into a neighborhood that's teeming with kids.

Oh that noise can #### right off. Absolutely move.
Cinnamon hard tack, ribbon candy and Necco wafers. You'll never get that bag put on your porch again.
Maybe some of that weirdo, unmarked "peanut butter" candy that's wrapped up in the black or orange paper (looks sorta like a single piece of bubble gum).
Oh, or Black Jacks. Olds seem to be big fans of that stuff too, and it's certainly disgusting, so sure, throw some in there.

The note said I was enjoy the candy and then do the same thing for two other teachers.Little ####er showed up again a week later and mowed the lawn without asking, then demanded payment.
