Was reading up on the movie “The Black Phone” and found out the movie was adapted from a short story written by Joe Hill, who is the son of Stephen King.

His real name is Joseph Hillstrom King but feared publishers would print anything he wrote to make money on his last name so he wrote under a pseudonym and was able to keep his identity a secret for more than 10 years. He has a younger brother named Owen King who is also a writer.

"The villain in Hill's original story was patterned after serial killer John Wayne Gacy, who raped, tortured, and murdered at least 33 young men and boys in the 1960s and '70s."

I just recently finished reading The Institution by his father, and immediately thought this might be about that. It wasn't, but strange coincidnce still.

Can’t wait to see this when its rentable. Been hearing great things about it, and the marketing for this movie is everywhere.

Watched “Plane” tonight. Enjoyable with some cheesy parts. Pretty typical Gerard Butler action movie like Olympus Has Fallen.

Jog my memory, is this the one you succinctly put as a 'smarter, female Chucky'?

Finally got time to watch the new Avatar. Decided with it being such a long movie that we should splurge. Did the Regal 3dRPX and man that was the way to do it! Only two other people in the massive theater, separated stadium seating with leather recliners. Forgot how nice that is, typically we stick with the $5 seats (still nice) at a different theater.

The script was almost there, what a shame, still a great movie and can't imagine seeing it in anything but 3D. The underwater parts felt like you were there. Glad we finally went.

Close, but what I said was "like an advanced Chucky but female."

Should be a fun watch.

The Pale Blue Eye, go watch it, the lead actors were especially good.

Looks good to me, tranquility. I like most movies with Christian Bale.



Will watch it when it comes to me.

Well...you seem to get excited about a lot of things, so I'm sure this will be fine.

Srsly, I thought that it was pretty good, it rolls along w/o any filler scenes that I can recall.

Watched M3GAN tonight with the lady friend. We both liked it. Didn’t know what to expect going in but pleasantly surprised at how well made the movie was. It had good acting, storyline, comedy, and action. I didn’t care for Ronny Chieng. Never found him to be funny as a comedian and didn’t care for him in the movie.

Glass Onion, it was really interesting. Has Daniel Craig in it, part of the "Knives Out" series.

Watched “Wild Cat” on Prime. It’s very heartwarming but also sad. It’s crazy how us humans do so much harm to the environment. Major props to those who fight to preserve it and our animals.

That's the series, right? I love big cats. All cats, actually. Don't know if I could watch that.
