Congratulations to Keivonn Woodard for making history at just 10 years old for his role in HBO’s The Last of Us, where he became the first Black deaf actor nominated for an Emmy in the Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series category and the youngest nominee.

I can watch ONE PIECE Season 2 now as it is just released now. Excited.
In the meanwhile, there is something cool…it is built with Lego. Saw on Facebook. Just wow!!!

I just finished watching the Melania documentary to see what the fuss was about for this $40 million project.
My verdict: it's a total waste of time. It’s dull and boring, with absolutely nothing worthy about it. Critics agree, with The Guardian noting the film
"makes watching paint dry look like the Super Bowl."Whether you call it "narratively dead" or just an expensive infomercial, it offers zero insight. Skip it.
Apocalyptic Warning Against AI
I just read an article.
AI has changed since then, and now it’s not something out there on the horizon. It’s here. It’s in our lives,” Verbinski says. “It did feel like it was immediate, that the story needed to be made quickly and put out right now.
Apocalyptic warning against AI. I never thought I’d see that framing — but AI is moving fast. So… maybe? Hmm.
Saw the teaser.— Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die — a sci-fi comedy; now on my watchlist. But, theater-only for now.

Watched: Firebreak
A grieving mother whose young daughter vanishes near their remote family cabin — with a massive wildfire bearing down on them.
Firebreak — an intense but maddening thriller. Emotional but often illogical — lots of shouting and weak explanations. That said, the ending trades tension for something unexpectedly soft. Make of that what you will.
Personally, I'd skip it. But if you want to see for yourself, go ahead.
I am definitely adding Preschool to my watchlist. Josh Duhamel playing a competitive dad in a comedy is such a great vibe. The trailer is hilarious, and I am crossing my figurative fingers that the actual film delivers when it drops.
Just added to my Watch.list 👀 From Tomorrow Season 1 — A Spanish thriller about a woman who finds a mysterious stone that lets her see the future — including her own death. 🪨🔮 Now she’s racing to change it. Supernatural mystery with serious vibes. 🇪🇸
Just added to my Watch.list 👀 Gannibal — A remote Japanese village. A new cop. And rumors that the family controlling the town… eats people. 🫀 Folk horror meets psychological thriller. This one looks deeply unsettling. Can’t wait. 🇯🇵
Just finished Watching: Rental Family. It was good. I enjoyed it very much. I like the actor, Brennan Fraser; he was good.
I also should watch The Whale soon.
Percy Jackson S3 casting news has me absolutely losing it — Ming-Na Wen as Hera, Jennifer Beals as Demeter, and Hubert Smielecki as Apollo. This show keeps getting better and I am so here for it. Season 3 cannot come fast enough. Should be interesting, right?
My watchlist is stacked! Bridgerton S3, Victoria S1, and The Empress S1 — apparently I’m in my royal era. Drama, gorgeous costumes, and palace intrigue for weeks. No complaints here. 👑
Read Nesbø’s The Snowman years ago but never finished. Now Netflix is turning The Devil’s Star book into Detective Hole w/ Tobias Santelmann as Harry. Time to finish both books before March 26 (but I doubt I will)! Nesbø also had The Snowman filmed in 2017. Hope it is good. Trailer: this Oslo noir!
Saw Mummy films & enjoyed all of them. Brendan and Rachel are coming back for another Mummy movie! May 2028. She wasn’t even in the 3rd one, so getting both of them back is amazing. After Brendan’s comeback w/ The Whale, this feels perfect. Two years feels like forever to wait though!
I love Spiderman! There is another Spiderman coming! Nicolas Cage is playing Spider-Man Noir in a new series dropping May 27th on Prime Video, and it looks incredible. 1930s noir detective vibe, and they’re releasing it in both black-and-white AND color. I’m definitely watching it in noir.
Two years ago, I quit Monarch: Legacy of Monsters with TWO EPISODES LEFT. Canceled Apple TV and completely forgot about it. Now that Season 2 is coming Feb 27th, I’m debating whether to resubscribe and finish Season 1 or just wing it with recaps and watch the new season. Link

Oh, funny, speaking of Pooh that I just posted recently, I am watching The Tigger Movie right now. Tigger is another favorite. He is always fun to watch.
Mike Flanagan just signed on to write and direct The Mist for Warner Bros. I’ve enjoyed his work. The Haunting of Hill House especially. Add in his new take on The Exorcist and the Carrie series, and I’ve got a lot of great horror coming my way. So excited for all three. Link
How could I miss?! It is a TV series from 2015! Last night, I watched: Jekyll and Hyde S1E1, The Harbinger.🍿 It was interesting, and I will watch the rest of the season.
Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, a novella by Robert L. Stevenson, published in 1886, is a fascinating story, indeed!
I am indeed curious what Obsession is about… Hmm. I will be sure to watch for a new trailer!
A new definition of horror. Trailer tomorrow - Blumhouse (18 hours ago)

Saw Primate & loved seeing Troy Kotsur! Great deaf representation. Intense movie. Random word stuck with me: Hydrophobia, though not 100% medically accurate. Won’t explain—spoilers—but watch it and you’ll see. Pretty clever how they used it in the story. Trailer: youtu.be/wo87F-va4…
Drew Barrymore and I are the same age! She turns 51 on Feb 22; me in August. I always thought she was older. Remember her in ET? Adorable. In Firestarter, she was frightened and overwhelmed by her powers.
Crazy we’re the same age after watching her my whole life.
I watched the trailer for the film Rental Family last month and wanted to see it. I was hoping it would be released for streaming soon. It turns out it will be available on Hulu/Disney on February 18. I’m excited and can’t wait to watch it! Trailer: youtu.be/dWSSjaIGd…
