 Beverly Hills Cop

 My verdict: 10

One of the best movies of the 80's. Murphy in his prime. Judge Reinhold is laughing in some of the scenes (which were probably improvised).

 Hit Man

 My verdict: 9

Outstanding. Would have been a great movie to see in a theatre.

 Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F 

 My verdict: 7 #NostrPotatoes 

Decent given the long lag since part 3. They are all pretty old. Stunned that Taggert is still alive. The plot was good enough to recommend.

 Just watched The Killer 

Could have been a cult film in another era (when everyone went to movies). The pacing may strike some as slow since the "Killer" is an assassin that becomes the hunted. Less action than expected and definitely more thinking (stream of consciousness). All of that ends up working in this movie.

 My verdict: 9

 Enjoyed watching Halloween again. 

 My verdict: 8
Certainly not a masterpiece, but a great example that a movie does not need blockbuster money backing it to connect to an audience.

 Okay, let’s do it this way.

What do you say when people ask “How are your Bitcoins doing?”... 
 I hold my Bitcoin, so I tell them "fine - it continues to be one of my strategies to be as independent as possible". I then say "but, let me tell you about lightning ...". 
 Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is an ok movie. I thought Chris Pine did a great job as the lead. I have not been much of a fan, but he had a Kurt Russell vibe going that was very appealing. The plot was ok. The adventure was ok. A lot about the movie was ok, but not much made it must-see. Hugh Grant fans won't get much out of it - he was ... ok ... he didn't have a great role. Same for Bradley Cooper - he looks like he participated as a favor or maybe to hang out with friends. My one sentence summary - it is not a waste of two hours.

 My verdict: 7️⃣! ✨ @Nostr Potatoes🎥🥔😁 #NostrPotatoes

 I hear that I can verify pretty soon. I will have the sats ready.

 Great news about the new song! 
 Looking forward to the new song. 
 Sounds like it will be a great driving song! 
 I often go 16 hours between dinner and lunch. However, I get bored if I do that every day. So, four or five times a week.
