Movies watched
Beneath the Planet of the Apes - I’m slowly working through this series that I’ve never watched.
Florence Foster Jenkins - Delightful biography.
Holidate - Delightful Christmas romantic comedy.
Tenet - Too smart for its own good. Parts were liked and parts that were just too confusing.
MIB: International - Rotten Tomatoes’ score of 22% was very harsh. This was an okay summer blockbuster popcorn flick. I would give it more like 55%.
Insert Coin - Interesting documentary about coin op games and Midway. Didn’t know I needed to watch that one.
Soul - This was really beautifully; something I expect from Pixar.
WW84 - Very underwhelming…
Fatman -
