Creed was very good. Stallone will win the Oscar.

I'm kinda liking Gotham, which I'm semi-binging right now.
It's not enthralling must-watch stuff, but it's entertaining and done pretty well.

Anybody catching that Ash and the Evil Dead series?
I like Bruce Campbell, and the original Evil Dead has a special place in my heart so I had high hopes, but so far it's so so.

"The Walk" was not very good. Levitt has a very bad French Accent and the film uses lousy excuses to have Frenchmen speak in English in France. I guess I should have seen it in 3D or IMAX to feel the full effect of the actual "Walk".
I saw "Man on Wire" a few years back. It was the documentary on Petit's walk between the twin towers. It was much better. It's hard after seeing the real people in a great documentary to feel the same about a fictional movie.
And I know it's hard not to look at the towers and think of 9/11. But the documentary managed to do that. The focus was the story. The movie tries to force you to feel sympathy for 9/11.

JGL seemed to be horribly miscast in that role and the CGI appeared really gimmicky from the trailers I saw. Pass.
Man on Wire was an excellent documentary though, I agree.

Re: Master of None.
Some funny bits but overall, I found it clunky and a lot of the dialogue scenes could have been cut in half. Nothing a good story editor couldn't fix.
Of course, all the critics loved it, because we live in an age where critics are easily impressed by auteurs. Hard to find a bad review of anything that is slightly edgy and different.

The new heavyweight champion of the world in boxing is evidently named Tyson Fury. That's his actual name: Tyson Fury. That would sound too ridiculous even for a villain in a Rocky film.

I don't think I've ever met someone under 50 or 60 years of age who has any interest in boxing.

Some people must like it because didnt that superfight pay the boxers something stupid like 400 million?

Still huge.
Canelo-Cotto did 900K PPV buys, which was about identical to Rousey/Correia, UFC"s biggest event of the year.
Which of course, wasn't even the biggest boxing match of the year. Mayweather/Pac did 4.4M buys. UFC gets a lot more press though, because it's more popular in the 18-25 yr old male, redbull guzzling demographic, where boxing is more popular with the "ethnics" and +30 male crowd. Harder to sell us Monster Energy hats and affliction shirts though.
