    Jake Paul is like the millennial version of Andy Kaufman wrestling women and talking shit about women's rights. It's just shock value.

    I don't understand how him and his tool brother got rich for being buttholes, but there it is.

    I don't understand any of it really. I just learned what huk tuah or whatever means. I wish I didn't. I love this country but I hate this country.

    The Aaron Rodgers documentary that's coming out. I'm sure I will laugh every step of the way. The timing is impeccable.

    I decided to give 'Squid Game' a whirl last night. I'm very observant, but this is so blatant it's hilarious. The main kid is explaining the rules in the playground, he gets his white sleeveless shirt practically torn off his body by another kid. The other kid even rips off a piece. The main kid jumps to next space in the sand, yells, "Victory!" His shirt isn't ripped. At all.

    Two minutes in and I went, "I think I already hate it." That's as far as I got, haha.

    Edit: There's a second season now, but I might not get past the 2:00 minute warning of potential suck.

    Furiosa was a mixed bag for me. They featured Furiosa but somehow never really developed the character that much, outside of the back story. You don't even see Anya Taylor Joy until the second half of the movie. Hemsworth was sometimes really good and disappeared into his role occasionally, but he was so over the top that it got annoying for me.

    I think the real success was in the cinematography and direction. They were trying to bridge the chasm of differences between the old Mad Max movies and Fury Road, and they did a great job of it. They took the cooler elements from Fury Road and minimized the camp, while also talking a bunch of filming techniques and sound cues and visual cues to really throw back to the original Max Max movies... sometimes really simple stuff like the way they zoom into the instrument panel of a truck to the quirky frame speed they would use in the old movies.

    Worth a watch.
