    The Green Knight. Awesome looking, Dev Patel has the goods....but awfully anticlimactic.

    As someone who still enjoys an occasional game of Tetris, I need to see this movie.

    Always thought Tetris made me a better copy editor/page designer when I had make obits fit on their pages.

    I loved playing Tetris as a kid, and remember picking it back up here and there as an adult on various devices. It's been a while since.

    Both times, though, I'd start dreaming of Tetris shapes falling and needing to place them.

    The L shaped ones were the toughest!

    My first internship boss worked from home long before that was a thing. I was given a desk behind a divider in the back of someone's office, and forgotten. I played a lot of Tetris. I have no idea if I was any good at it. But I definitely developed a problem.

    A Tetris-funded study said it's good for the aging brain. I'm pretty sure I bought my mom a Gameboy solely for Tetris.

    I rarely play Tetris anymore, in part because the official (?) app requires wifi and also because I tend to lose hours when I do.

    My wife, a friend and I watched Blazing Saddles on Amazon Prime Sunday night. Yes, it is as funny now as it was when it first hit the theaters. However, I suspect that many people under the age of 30 will not find it funny and will not be able to get past the "less-than-politically-correct" script.

    We, however, laughed out asses off ...

    On a Facebook group I lurk in, someone said they used if for a movie night at the pub he operates. People complained, people walked out, a few were in tears. Not all under 30.

    I don't think Chris Tucker will be nominated for best supporting actor, but he probably should.

    “AIR”. Loved it because I bought the first ones and because I love bball (especially the 8’s and 90’s) and the 80’s soundtrack was fabulous.

    Saw Super Mario Bros. with the kids. It’s a good time.

    Animation was top-notch, and they paid lots of fan service to a bunch of different video games, old and new.

    “Air” is just fantastic. Had a smile on my face the whole time.

    Saw Air. Really fun. I’d listened to Affleck and Damon together a couple of weeks ago and that was good preparation. Affleck said he had to warn Knight that the boss always has to be a bit of a villain - the guy saying no.

    The preview for the Blackberry/RIM movie looked really good, and I guess that story would be the other side of the coin.
