Lion king 2 and lion king 1 1/2

My take: Lion King 2 has some rushed parts and other parts are too long. Overall, ok but forgettable addition to the series.

Lion King 1 1/2, starts a little rough for me, but once Timon leaves home the movie takes off and it’s a good time. Recommend a watch if you have the first movie burned into memory.

Just finished watching Joker: Folie à Deux.

Admittedly it was something different, but it didn’t really grab me like the first one. Being a musical and a promotion video for Lady Gaga did raise my cynicism level somewhat. Not terrible, had its moments, but a missed opportunity.

I suppose the joke’s on me…

I was on a business trip, so I had some extra time for a change.

Rewatched “Heat” (1997). I thought I hadn’t seen it, but I must have a long time ago, as I remembered the ending. Still a great movie, though. Remembering the ending halfway through didn’t ruin the enjoyment. 8/10

I also saw “Predestination” (2014? The one with Ethan Hawke…) after a coworker recommend it. A good movie, but I’ve seen enough brain fuck movies to predict a lot of the plot twists. Still pretty good, though. 8/10.

And I finally got around to seeing Top Gun: Maverick. I wasn’t expecting much beyond trying to recapture 80’s cool-guy-story, but I must admit I was pleasantly surprised. F14/10.

Cheers!
I was going to sort it out myself, using my old account, but then I… didn’t. Because then I’d have to relog, and I’m lazy.

Watched As Good As it Gets with Jack Nicholson. Man that guy is good at playing old crotchety OCD racist-misogynist.

I watched Revealer. It’s a cosmic horror/religious horror movie about a stripper and a protester being stuck in a peep show booth together at the end of the world
