Perfectly creepy.
Contains spoilers, click to show
So guys, I just finished processing. “You” has to be the most intense novel I’ve read since The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen.

The intensity Joe has in his, what he likes to call love, for Beck is insane! There is no easing into the stalker tendencies for Joe. He’s full bore from the very first time he saw her nipples.

I’d like to think that I would have some sort of feeling I was being stalked. “You” shows that one can go through day to day life and just never know. You would think once your friends started dying something was up…guess not.

If you love reading books from a love sick stalkers point of view then “You” is perfect

How far would you go to get your into the movie business?
I first saw this on TV some years ago. It’s also known as The Buddy Factor in some countries. I just love it so much. I know Kevin Spacey is a dirty word these days, but his acting in this as Buddy Ackerman, head of Production is just so good! Psychotic sex maniac, obsessed with hair loss.

Add to this Frank Whaley as Guy, the newbie assistant to Buddy, is put through hell hoping to get a screenplay produced. Add to this Dawn, producer, Guys new girlfriend, producer and ex Buddy squeeze and you get a recipe of disaster.

It’s just funny but also appalling tale of Hollywood film production.

Meh...
411. Impractical Jokers: The Movie. I found it pretty unfunny. Based on a hidden camera show that's gone on for 8 seasons? Plot revolves around a stunt they did way back in 1992 involving sneaking into a Paula Abdul concert dressed as security guards, loser got left out. So now years later, Paula is back somehow and the guys want to do it again, so they head out on the road and compete in hidden cam challenges along the way. To me, it felt that after 8 seasons they are no longer trying. The challenges were a bore, and all the spectators seem to be in on the joke. Wait for it to be on network TV... I mean they couldn't even give us an R-rating? Filmbufftim on FB!

The Old Guard (2020)
The Old Guard (2020)
2020 | Action, Fantasy
Stop-me-if-you've-heard-this-one-before cartoon action fantasy. A squad of ass-kicking immortals find themselves menaced by nasty soulless corporate forces while they induct a new member.

Basically, Highlander for our times: competently put together and not without moments of interest, but basically all a bit dour and calculated when it comes to sending the appropriate messages (bad guys are straight white dudes and vice versa, for instance). Not much sense of romance, fun, or actual fantasy, which just makes the lack of a coherent backstory more noticeable (why do some people attain the film's peculiar state of immortality? They Just Do). Best not to worry too much about the plot, try to ignore the messaging, and just enjoy the production values and fight choreography.
  
Cobra (1986)
Cobra (1986)
1986 | Action, Adventure
A big ridiculous slice of the finest 80's camenbert that I just couldn't help but enjoy. Stallone is on fine ass kicking form as the hilariously named Marion "cobra" Cobretti (who for some reason has a matchstick in his mouth for almost the entire running time) offing bad guys in creatively violent ways. It actually starts off pretty dark before descending into more generic action fare towards the end but is unfortunately made laughable at times by being shot like a music video. The dialogue and soundtrack is pretty cringeworthy and I don't know what was going on with Brigitte Nielsen's photo shoot with a bunch of robots?. Yes it's crap but it's under 90 minutes and never boring. You could do worse for some easy action thrills.
