Is that like each episode is its own independent story? Maybe different characters (or even the same) but one does not have to watch the previous episode to know what is going on?

I did however grill up a big ass steak, so it was a good day.

She retired or something, right?

I like the scene when Jet Li unlocks her handcuffs with a needle.

   Seventeen-year-old Millie Kessler (Kathryn Newton, Blockers, HBO's Big Little Lies) is just trying to survive the bloodthirsty halls of Blissfield High and the cruelty of the popular crowd. But when she becomes the newest target of The Butcher (Vince Vaughn), her town's infamous serial killer, her senior year becomes the least of her worries.

   When The Butcher's mystical ancient dagger causes him and Millie to wake up in each other's bodies, Millie learns that she has just 24 hours to get her body back before the switch becomes permanent and she's trapped in the form of a middle-aged maniac forever. The only problem is she now looks like a towering psychopath who's the target of a city-wide manhunt while The Butcher looks like her and has brought his appetite for carnage to Homecoming.

   With some help from her friends-ultra-woke Nyla (Celeste O'Connor, Ghostbusters: Afterlife), ultra-fabulous Joshua (Misha Osherovich, The Goldfinch) and her crush Booker (Uriah Shelton, Enter the Warriors Gate)-Millie races against the clock to reverse the curse while The Butcher discovers that having a female teen body is the perfect cover for a little Homecoming killing spree. The film also stars Alan Ruck (Succession), Katie Finneran (Why Women Kill), and Dana Drori (High Fidelity).

Here is some nice news.

Unfortunately, the statistics are against him. He will probably relapse and waste that $80,000 dental job. I hope he stays well.

Looks funny, I will be watching this. Happy Death Day 1 and 2 were good. Kathryn Newton is doing really well since Supernatural, it's where I first saw her and she's been getting a lot of roles since then.

South Park Elementary is forgoing remote learning — and Eric Cartman is not having it.

Comedy Central announced Tuesday that it will air an hour-long South Park episode focused on — what else? — the coronavirus crisis on Wednesday, Sept. 30 at 8/7c. The network also released a teaser trailer for the standalone special that finds everyone but Cartman returning to class, which is now being taught by Detective Harris. Desks are separated by six feet and have preinstalled plastic shields, to prevent the spread of germs.

According to the special’s official synopsis, Stan’s father “Randy comes to terms with his role in the COVID-19 outbreak, as the ongoing pandemic presents continued challenges to the citizens of South Park.” Meanwhile, the kids “happily head back to school, but nothing resembles the normal that they once knew — not their teachers, not their homeroom, not even Eric Cartman.”

Comedy Central has yet to announce when viewers can expect Season 24 of South Park — but, per the terms of its recent HBO Max library deal, new episodes (including the upcoming special) will be available to stream on South Park Studios, CC.com and the Comedy Central app immediately following the west coast airing. HBO Max will then stream the episodes 24 hours after they premiere. (The series was previously renewed through Season 26.)

The one-off South Park special is the latest news out of Comedy Central, which is dramatically altering its original programming strategy to focus on adult animation. Cartman & Co. will soon be joined by Daria spinoff Jodie and reboots of Beavis & Butt-Head and Ren & Stimpy.

Say whaaaaaaaaat no way, dude. She's in the big time now. She's gonna be the next big star out of WWE. Right next to HHH.

So lately, I have been sleeping really early and getting up at the ass crack of dawn to run. I started running about three weeks ago and my fatass went from 168 pounds struggling to run a half mile to 161 pounds running 3.5 miles in 34 minutes. I guess that's not too shabby. Going to try and push hard and get down to about 157. If I can make that goal, I will crank it up a few notches to hit 149. That would be my end goal.

According to a new report, Joaquin Phoenix is being offered $50 million to return for Joker 2 and 3. Warner Bros. is said to be hopeful that the movies could be ready to go in 2022 and 2024, respectively. This comes after Phoenix took home the Best Actor Oscar earlier this year at the Academy Awards, capping off a huge awards season run. Plus, Joker took in more than $1 billion at the box office, making it hugely profitable, given its relatively small budget.

"Joaquin initially felt Joker was a standalone movie. But he's changed his tune now. He says he wants to play this character again, despite the controversies that came with the release last year. It's still being negotiated but the scripts are being written and Joaquin is very engaged with it."

"They plan to make two sequels in the next four years, with a long-term commitment to Joaquin and his Joker director Todd Phillips and producer Bradley Cooper. It's all about getting Joaquin to accept the terms, and the biggest payday of his career by far."
