I just watched [movie x here]
LeeC:
I enjoyed watching Law and Order SVU for a time, but nearly every episode (I can think of off the top of my head), there's a moment where the protagonists over stepped the line or submitted evidence that would never have been used in court. Like one episode, the suspect (who actually did do it) would only be found guilty if they could get a DNA sample from him. He rejects doing one. He blows his nose and then throws the used tissue into the trash bin. The protagonists take the tissue and performs an illegal DNA test, without the person's permission, and the court takes it and convicts the suspect. "The good guys win" but they had to go outside the law to do so. In real life it would not have been admissible since the suspect did not give his permission. I find cop shows and movies generally make the cop to be a vigilante or the one interpreting the law, which acts like propaganda and a terrible role model for cops or people wanting to be cops.
Shout out to Legal Eagle on Youtube. Its a great channel and the lawyer will review both movie/tv courtroom and "laws," as well as real cases.

Oh I stopped watching SVU years ago when they basically decided Benson could do nothing wrong.
I liked the Law and Order franchise, but really, SVU has been going on for too long.

Ratched...
First seven episodes were fine.
(A bit of occasional belief suspension required for plot reasons, but.. ya know...)
But the last episode sucked.
Totally out of sync with the rest of the series, really spoiled the end of the series for me.
Worried about the 2nd series if it keeps going the same way.
(As for the character... I know it's meant to be Mildred from One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest... but it doesn't feel like the same character at all... to me.)

I've been putting it off for a long time, but since it was finally on Netflix, I finally watched "Into the Spiderverse".
Story-wise, it was competent. Nothing to write home about, although I did enjoy it a fair amount.
Visually and in how the story was overall presented? So good. I can see why so many people have been raving about the film. I really, really liked it.

The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot was sort of billed as an action movie, but for the most part Sam Elliot is in quiet repose about the things he had to do during the war and flashbacks to when he was with the woman he loved.
The Little Hours is about a group of nuns that take in a runaway and wacky shenanigans ensue. Mainly they wanna get with him/use him in witchcraft rituals. Amazing cast though, including: Allison Brie, Aubrey Plaza,Kate Miccuci, Molly Shannon, Fred Armisen, Dave Franco, John C. Reily, Nick Offerman

To be fair, TMWKHATTB was an amzing slow burn of a movie that I don't think anyone really would know how to market.
