Watched the new sports documentary from HBO Sports called "Andre the Giant".

I'm not a wrestling fan...but was an amazing documentary about a guy who truly was larger than life.
I watched it the other night as well, can't believe how busy his life was & the amount of travelling he did. And the drinking he was able to do, WOW!!!!

The Ric Flair 30 for 30 documentary is an eye opener on the amount of alcohol a pro wrestler can consume.    Love the nature boy.   Woooooooooo
106 beers in one sitting for Andre. Would drink a CASE of wine with dinner.

For reference in the photo below, the other hand belongs to a 6'3", 335 pound heavyweight powerlifter. The circumference of Andres wrist was OVER a foot! His ring size was almost 30..and a large man could put 3 fingers in the ring!

Look at the size of his fist compared to Ali's face and fist.

another big fan of Mollys Game here.

Jessica Chastain is fantastic.
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

Had to look it up.  Never heard of it.  Haven't really watched many of Jessica Chastain movies.  Huge fan of Aaron Sorkin.  Can't think of anything of his I don't like. 

Will add it to the list of movies to watch with my wife.  In the middle of Lincoln right now.  She feel asleep last night watching it.

Watched a couple of now "not-so-new" movies over the last few days:
-  The Hitman's Bodyguard
-  Ant Man.

We both enjoyed the two movies.  Bodyguard is a fun little buddy movie, with no pretensions to anything greater.  It gets a tiny bit serious when it takes a couple of swipes at political mass murderers but generally has the usual setups with car chases, gun battles and much fisticuffs.  Oh, yeah Salma is amazing as a beautiful, butt kicking, blue streak swearing female lead.   :thumbup:

Ant Man is a fun diversion from the usual Marvel universe movie; in fact it's rated a comedy.  Go figure.  Again, fun to watch as long as you don't look too closely at it.  Another  :thumbup:
I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass...and I'm all out of bubblegum.    -    John Nada (played by Roddy Piper) in "They Live"

Saw the hitmans bodyguard last night, had a few chuckles and overall enjoyed myself. Selma Hayek is still stunningly gorgeous

That's almost as old as Harrison Ford was when he acted in that movie.  He was 39 in 1981, according to Wikipedia:

Too funny. Would have been funnier if I made this post two years from now.

He sorta reprised his Full Metal Jacket role in The Frighteners with Michael J Fox. He was a ghost.

He did voice over in lots of cartoons...usually as a military type.

Watched I Am Evidence tonight.  It's an HBO documentary on how over 400,000 rape kits in the US were never submitted for DNA testing, either for political, racially/socially-motivated or budgetary reasons, depending on the police force in question.

Once they started testing, almost half had CODIS (criminal DNA database) hits, meaning the offenders were actually repeat offenders/serial rapists. 

A story well told, I thought.

I saw Avengers: Infinity Wars

You REALLY have to be a fan of superhero movies to like this IMO.....more so than others in the genre.

I thought it was...ummmm...not so good.
