I've seen it twice before, actually.
“he”/“him” A Canadian Prairie Mennonite from the '70s & '80s, a Preacher’s Kid, slowly recovering from a hemorrhagic stroke. I am not — yet — in a 12-Step Program.

RIPLEY
The version with Matt Damon, Phillip Seymor Hoffman and Jude Law sucks! The version with John Malkovich rules!

THE LEGO MOVIE
The real Get Smart of movies! Except for the last five minutes with Will Ferrell. Those are kind of pathetic.

THE EXORCIST BOX SET
The first movie is good, of course. The second one is garbage. But after that the others are pretty good, too.
A WP flashback.

BETTER CALL SAUL
In Better Call Saul Rhea Seehorn's Kim Wexler provides much of the show's energy. The truth is other characters are more alive when they are in Saul Goodman's immediate orbit.
I don't mind admitting: I was affected for days after I finished watching the final episode of this show.
Better Call Saul can be streamed on Netflix. Watch it -- if you dare.
