I was so excited about seeing Ad Astra.

Brad Pitt always a favorite...No matter what.. I luv good Science Fiction flicks.. But this thing was so freaking boring with a very weak story line... Half the movie is centered on Pitts face in a Space helmet..Reciting Space technical dialogue... Special effects a 7+.. Man I was so disappointed.

I'll also tell you that I wasn't crazy about Gravity..

Tomorrow going to see Judy... The Play was incredible..
Fortunate that I met Rene a couple of times.. Really a nice person.. I am close friends with her musician friend.. Can't wait!

her acting in the previews looks great, but the singing has fallen flat for me

forward to a good sci-fi flick. Guess I’ll wait for it on HBO...”Gravity” didn’t float me a lot either, so I trust your judgement here.

Did you love “Arrival”, tho? I was blown away.

I'll try to pick it up... What was the name of that Sci Fi Flick with Jodie Foster? Now that was good? Going to see either today or tomorrow Judy.. I kind of know her through a friend of mine who is a musician... Shes very cool

I went to see Arrival, I had an edible, and the movie blew my mind - there are layers and layers of meaning and message. I was transported - probably significantly more so cause I was high, LOL, but it is a must see!

I stopped smoking back in late 60s... Stuff is too potent.. The weed that came out of Mexico in the 60s was crap for the most part.. too many branches.. But slowly but surely weed domestic and other weed sold in Cali was and is way too strong.. So now I take shots into the movie theater and down them in the Men's room.
