'The Social Reckoning' trailer

 

[VIDEO] I found out about this via Ben Shapiro who said had Donald Trump not gotten re-elected this movie wouldn't have been made. This film is a sequel to the 2010 The Social Network - a movie I missed out on, but plan to see in the near future.

Facebook seems to have fallen out of favor from it's 2000s peak. The saying goes Facebook is for old people and Instagram is for people who can't read. Let me find the actually quote, let me visit with A.I. for a moment.

Facebook is for old people. Twitter is stupid, and Instagram is for people who can't read.

Thanks A.I. I should find a kid who's more adept at social media. Right now the next hot social network is currently TikTok. What could it be in five years?

Anyway, The Social Network dealt with Facebook as an emerging company the spiritual sequel is more of the impact of Facebook after it's emergence. Sadly to see The Social Reckoning I have to wait until October.

Columbo - Sharp as a glass

 

[VIDEO] I had binge watched a number of Columbo episodes last year and you can always find clips of that show on YouTube.

Columbo as a character started off in two TV movies with different versions of the character. One portrayal in the TV movie Prescription Murder, he doesn't seem like the one to mess with once he's on your trail. He starts harrassing the female accomplice telling her that he will break her.

Of course later portrayals are far more softer. Columbo is very adept at lulling his suspects into a very false sense of security. And he's "sharp as a glass" enough to get all the proof he needs to prove the committed the crime.

This video I found today via Count Akira is a love letter to this beloved TV character portayed by Peter Falk which was part of the line-up for the NBC Mystery Movie during the 1970s. I do wish they could find a way bring this character back even if they had to recast him.
