The Stranger on Netflix. The guy who wrote Fool Me Once has an 11 billion series or something deal with Netflix; currently he has 4 or 5 of them available. We watched The Stranger based on the Netflix description and to see if Harlan Corben is kind of a one hit wonder.
He's not.
Solid casting, great premise, and very good writing. He even ties up some subplots and relates them to the main story even if it at the end; everything plays a role. The end has a twist, so I think that might be his "thing" in storytelling, but we'll find out. 8 episodes, very binge worthy because it, like Fool Me Once, ends every episode with a hook or cliffhanger.

You want to make a movie about something, cool. Make a new one. No need to mess with the classics. I fucking hate reboots....
The Wizard Of Oz and It's A Wonderful Life to get 'diverse' reboot

And 'diverse' reboots are sooooooo successful. It'll be a flop.
Who was even asking for these? I want whatever those hollywood execs are smoking.
You can add some diversity without making it a preachy spectacle. You can alter the location without making a massive socio-political statement which will alienate audiences.
But this is Hollywood...and that shit ain't happening. Mahershala Ali would be an amazing Jimmy Stewart replacement. You can make the Tin Man Black or Latino or whatever, but you can best believe that Cowardly Lion is going to be White.
The Wizard set in a Black community can work if it is written neutrally. But this Hollywood in 2024. A Black Dorothy in the suburbs of Insert City Here can work.

This looks promising.
It has John Cena in it, so it can fuck all the way off.

Maestro, on Netflix, Bradley Cooper. Really great biography about Leonard Bernstein. Well done.

No need to reboot a classic like Roadhouse. Also not a big Jake Gyllenhaal fan, but this actually doesn't look too bad.

I couldn't think of a bigger pussy of an actor to put in a tough guy role. That's Hollywood for ya. No clue.

There's a reason everyone's favorite Jared Leto role is the one where his head gets split open with an axe.
