The schedule has been such a blessing. I'll shift stuff around and override some dates. The date is generated and the movie info is from the omdbapi. It takes about ten seconds to add hundreds of movies, if I wanted to.
I've seen some of these several times, but about 95% are first runs.

I was trying to decide on a movie one night and I realized that my overall movie list (3501 films total, 34% watched since ~2015 or so) was full of a lot of standards that I want to watch, but never do for various reasons. Often they're great films but there are better ones that I'm thinking of. So I have a spreadsheet with this with a formula to generate an ICS file that is pulled to github with an action, then I subscribe to it. It runs every half hour, so when I make changes, its in my calendar pretty quick.
I run the same system for TV series (Buffy right now), motorsport, and some other stuff. All media. I marked the next one with an x
Here is my movie list up to March, starting in April of this year.
I like when movies are under two hours -- especially for something like a comic book character. I'm still wanting for the Incredible Hulk / Fight Club fanedit :)

Thankfully we live in a world where soft drugs can almost immediately improve anything :)

tomf I can't believe I missed the second one. The cast for the first one is pretty strong. I've added it to my movie list. Sadly, it'll be March 22nd of next year... but I will eventually watch it.

I might try to swing a triple feature if I like the first one.
I liked Ed Norton as Hulk -- so if its anything like that for tone, I'll be happy :)

But yeah, I’m 100% with you on S01 being stronger. it felt laser focused where S02 felt more explorative — which didn’t always land.
I can’t imagine this story being done without the rotoscoping.

tomf I'm so glad Lower Decks is back and has kept its fine form. Also, tonight's episode of Buffy was School Hard, which is a great title for a great episode that really advanced everything.I'm so glad Lower Decks is back and has kept its fine form.

the break is far too long. hopefully Apple learns from Slow Horses that people don’t want to wait years.

I would LOVE for Max and Lando to fight and take each other out, allowing Sharl to take the crown. That would be the greatest thing ever. haha. I don't see it happening, but it'd be great.
This season has been so good. I'm watching 2012 in off-weeks and its similar in a lot of ways. Its nice when there are a lot of winners.

He's an excellent writer and the structure of the book really draws you in and doesn't let go.
Last week I finished James by Percival Everett. Excellent retelling of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain but from Jim's perspective and breaking off to his own 'adventures'. Excellent read. The word around is to not read this first if its your first Everett novel, and I agree. Its what he tried to do with Dr. No but didn't quite pin down.

Sharl swooping past Lando and Max was dope... and him holding on to that the entire time was solid gold. I couldn't be happier.
The last half of this season is some of the best.
Excellent weekend for motorsport. MotoGP was also great with an insane crash during the Sprint. Its amazing that these guys just get up and race the next day.
I kind of hope they pause the new stuff and keep this relatively well-balanced grid going.

Spotify has decided that King Geedorah (MF DOOM) - Take Me to Your Leader is my favorite album and that every mix should have something from it.
