It was a good movie, not a great one.
The best line in the movie belonged to Randolph Duke:
“Mortimer! We’re back!

“... And there was a time in this country, a long time ago, when reading wasn’t just for fags and neither was writing. People wrote books and movies, movies that had stories so you cared whose ass it was and why it was farting, and I believe that time can come again!”
What happened to Soul Glo?
I really enjoyed the original and was looking forward to the sequel. What a disappointment. It’s one of the worst movies that I’ve watched all the way through. I wish i had that hour and forty five minutes back.
Thank you President Not Sure!

” he was drugged and raped by Leslie Jones’s Mary Junson”
Umm, to be fair, she smoked a doobie with him, and he was just a lightweight and didn’t remember what happened afterwards. It’s not like she dosed him with horse tranquilizers or something and pulled a “Cosby”.
There is a reference to Duke & Duke in the new film, but obviously the actors themselves only appear in portraits on the wall.
“After Trading Places and 48 HRS what the heck happened to him?!”
He had kids, and decided he didn’t want to make movies that he couldn’t watch with his children, so he cut out all the swearing and dirty jokes that were probably the best parts of his act.
Now that his kids are grown he seems to be trying to get back in his old groove again, but not that successfully so far.
Like a “Ferris Beuller’s Kid’s Day Off” type movie?
I saw Coming 2 America and Terminator: Dark Fate (2019) on Amazon the past week and they were both bad. Terminator was far worst. Linda Hamilton face had more wrinkles then a Shar Pei dog and they used the sharping tool to emphasize them all.
Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall are both talented but the story was no good and they had this poor teenage girl wearing a nose ring with a gold chain from it to her ear. Looked disgusting plus only cattle have nose rings.
The original was plagiarized and the studio got sued by the writers. They won. Wonder is the settlement included the rights, guess they did.
Main writer was Art Buckwald.
With the streaming companies I end up doing that a lot. Watching things I would never have thought of, and sometimes there are real gems out there.
Watched it last night. It was stupid. It was fun. I never would have gone to the theaters for it, but it killed a Wednesday night.
Not a chance.
I’ve been Awakened (Woke 180 )
My wife and I use the libraries a lot, too. We have about 75 libraries in a network, you can search and order from any of them online, and they will deliver it to the library nearest to you.
I saw a very good movie last night, a British movie called “Operation Daybreak” about the assassination of a Nazi Reinhard Heydrich (which resulted in the complete liquidation of the town of Lidice and the execution of 350 people in the town)
I didn’t have high expectations, but thought it was very well done.
Saw it on Amazon Prime last weekend. It was awful and should be embarrassing for anyone involved in this. It reminded me of 30s and 40s movies with Mandan Moreland Stepan Fetching etc.
Will have to put that on my list. Ashes in the Snow is about the deportation of Lithuanians by Stalin while he was our ally in WWII.
We moved to a smaller town so the library system is not as good as it was before. But yes we use to put tons of movies on hold. Why pay for a movie if you don’t have to? Sadly COVID is now an excuse to make our library system even worse. For some DUMB reason for example we can only drop off our items during business hours which are 1 to 4 every day only. Still puzzled why COVID equates to less open hours at the library. But this is also Canada, so...

He became a Holy Man.
