Iron Man is still the only MCU film I've ever seen, and tbh, I don't see that changing anytime soon. 100% with you on Yellowstone. I was ALL IN for awhile, but it seems like it just ran out of steam? Maybe Taylor Sheridan's just being pulled in too many directions at once. I'm hoping that tunrs around.
Going the other way, I'm obsessed (am I too old to use that phrase?) with White Lotus.
I'm a suburban dad, which means I'm legally required to be in a fantasy baseball league, and the draft is tonight. I am comically bad at this, so who knows how it'll go? But it's fun, which is in short supply these days.
I'm clearly not a very good film critic because my (adult) son and I really enjoyed Captain America: Brave New World. Of course, part of that is probably the fact that he moved out a few months ago and we don't see each other much anymore, so getting to watch a new Marvel movie on the Xtreme Screen together is fun in and of itself! We both like Anthony Mackey and empathized with the whole "super hero without super powers" struggle. Sure, it wasn't up there with the Winter Soldier or Civil War, but it felt like Marvel was getting back to the storytelling and human aspects, as opposed to the over-the-top otherworldliness of recent movies. And, I have to admit, we like the possibilities that were teased - finally addressing the giant dude in the Indian Ocean, introducing adamantium, etc - which got us excited about what comes next.
These days, my son and I tend to think of the MCU as a giant TV series with 2+ hour episodes dropping on the big screen a few times a year... and that works for us! :-)
There were definitely some good parts to the film. Really cool that it's something you can bond over with your son. That's the only thing that really matters.

Also: U of O Ducks men's hoops!
Is there a difference between fantasy baseball and rotisserie? I played it once long ago. Was fun but also a ton of work!
EDIT: after doing some Googling, it’s a rotisserie league.
🤣🤣🤣 good to know!
I honestly have no idea—which should tell you how I’m going to do this season!

Do ya really NOT want to do your essay? Cmon.
Don't be lazy. It's the highlight of my life.
Well maybe not my life.
Highlight of Friday...?
ok. It was the highlight
of the 5 minutes it took
to read it. But for those 5
minutes mmmmm🥰
Glad you enjoy it so much, Linda! 😁
