Just got back from taking the princesses to Frozen II. Best thing about this one is that if they try to sing Into the Unknown as much as they used to sing Let It Go they’ll lose their voices and I’ll have peace and silence for a week.
Saw it last night with my kids and friend... thought it was good but the songs were trying WAY to hard to match that of the first.... the Kristoff crap half way through... was funny about about 3 minutes too long

We saw it for the second time last night (wife always likes to see the big Disney releases opening weekend and then again on $5 Tuesdays). The wife and girls like "Show Yourself", but I like Kacey Musgraves doing (anything) "All Is Found".

I did think it was funny how many families brought literal toddlers to the sequel, though, as this one was more complex and mature and poked a lot of fun at the original. I couldn't help but wonder what a little Elsa-obsessed 3-year-old thought of the opening battle scene, a later intense forest fire, and of course...
Olaf "dying"
Also, I loved the use of "Hocus Pocus" by Focus in the trailer for Pixar's Onward. :banger:

The Irishman on Netflix. It was a movie that seemed to have no CGI, but it did in order to make the actors appear younger for several scenes.

It was a very good movie, almost 3 and a half hours long but it never seemed to drag. I thought Pesci had the most impressive acting among the 3 main characters. There was also a 20-something minute piece with Scorsese, De Niro, Pacino, and Pesci sitting around a table talking about the movie that was interesting to watch.

Last night I was flipping channels and ran into this movie on TCM:

Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ

This isn't the Charlton Heston Ben-Hur; it is the original Ben-Hur movie filmed in 1925. It was a "silent film". The sound was just music, the dialog was printed, and it was predominately black/white (except a few scenes were shot in very bad "technicolor"), etc. The acting, lighting, special effects, and everything else was really bad by today's standards. It lasted 2 1/2 hours and fortunately it was commercial free. It was kind of neat (i.e.different); but I sure wouldn't want to watch one of those old movies every night. I found the trailer:

Looking forward to setting some time aside to watch this...

Togo, on Disney+. Willem Dafoe is always, always good. And good on them for finally sticking it to that glory-hound Balto!
A movie I saw a couple of months ago, The Great Alaskan Race, already gave Togo the credit he deserved. But it wasn't a Disney project, so hardly anybody has seen it.

Of course, Balto stills has statues in Anchorage and in Central Park in NYC, and his stuffed self is visible at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History.

Togo has a statue in lower NYC, and a statue with both of them is at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo.
