There's a Coyote vs. Acme film coming out at the end of August this year. The plot, based on the 1990 The New Yorker magazine article "Coyote v. Acme" by Ian Frazier (itself using elements from Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies), follows Wile E. Coyote as he sues the Acme Corporation for repeatedly selling him alleged faulty products. If you were raised on Looney Tunes like I was, you'll probably want to see this. My dad even liked the Coyote and Roadrunner, and I don't remember him ever watching any other cartoons.

The idea of the coyote suing ACME for defective merchandise is genius. That stuff NEVER worked.

I just got done watching a bunch of YouTube videos. Mostly Banana Ballistics. Also Tao Fledermaus, Kentucky Ballistics and others. It's just about time for some TV or maybe a movie.

I watch his channel also....as well as Warrior Poet Society regularly.

I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

Ah contraire.  ACME products worked just fine for their intended purposes.  What didn't work was Coyote's misguided applications.
Rockets ignited.  Traps trapped.  And anvils... anviled.

The Pitt staring Noah Wyle. The daily lives of healthcare professionals in a Pittsburgh hospital as they juggle personal crises, workplace politics, and the emotional toll of treating critically ill patients, revealing the resilience required in their noble calling. It's an HBO Max show, but I think it's on TNT now too. All I know is I can watch it at no additional cost on Xfinity.

I just watched Bugonia (2025), 7.4/10*s. Two conspiracy-obsessed young men kidnap the high-powered CEO of a major company, convinced that she is an alien intent on destroying planet Earth. It was good.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12300742/

In the last few days I also watched:

Black Phone 2 (2025), 6.1/10*s. It's a sequel to The Black Phone (2021). As Finn, now 17, struggles with life after his captivity, his sister begins receiving calls in her dreams from the black phone and seeing disturbing visions of three boys being stalked at a winter camp known as Alpine Lake. The Black Phone and Black Phone 2 were based on the short story The Black Phone by Joe Hill (Joseph Hillström King), son of Stephen King and Tabitha King, and brother of Owen King. The whole family are writers, which seems really unusual.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt29644189/

The Bad Guys 2 (2025), 7.0/10*s. It's a sequel to The Bad Guys (2022), 6.9/10*s. The Bad Guys are struggling to find trust and acceptance in their newly minted lives as Good Guys, when they are pulled out of retirement and forced to do "one last job" by an all-female squad of criminals.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8115900/

And everything on YouTube from Oats Studios. Oats Studios is an independent film studio started in 2017 by Oscar-nominated South African filmmaker Neill Blomkamp. The studio was created with the goal of distributing experimental short films via YouTube and Steam in order to gauge the community for interest and feedback as to which of them are viable for expansion into feature films. Neill Blomkamp made District 9 (2009), Elysium (2013), Chappie (2015), Demonic (2021), and Gran Turismo (2023). The best way to watch these videos IMO is to start with a playlist and click on play all. The longer lists have behind the scenes stuff about making the videos and video games, but the short playlists are just the good stuff. I think that not quite all the videos are on the 8 playlists, but they might be. I saw a couple of these videos before and found them interesting, so I spent part of 2 days going through them all. Warning: there are some gross parts in Cooking With Bill, but I still think it's funny.

If you're interested in Tanks and such, Check out Workshop Wednesday on YouTube, it's produced by the Australian Armour museum and has a lot of video of their Tank restorations, mostly WW2 era.

The workmanship and attention to details is amazing, They try to use as many original parts as they can, but some things just aren't available or cost efficient to make in house so they might use a more modern power plant for economy and reliability.

Just started watching myself.  Noah Wyle, for those who don't remember, was THE LIBRARIAN.  I think he and Mandy Pitinkin come across very much the same style of character.
