I finally made it back to A Million Little Things after a break with the story lines driving me crazy. (Kinda spoiler alert) the wheeler guy gets a new PT who is also a wheeler who actually appeared to be one in real life. This led me to IMDB/google and find Michael Patrick Thornton. And then I spiraled watching all sorts of stuff he’s in (private practice, madam secretary, the red line). He played a major role in the movie The View From Tall. It’s on Amazon (free with imdb tv with ads). I’m still a little uncertain how I feel about the plot but there were several pretty devvy moments. LOL, I did the exact same thing a couple of months ago. He's also in Away on Netflix. It's kind of a small part, but I still enjoyed watching. It's so great to see a PWD make an actual career of acting, rather than just a couple of minor parts here and there.

I just saw the trailer for an upcoming movie "Gold", I clicked on it because it had Zac Effron's face in the thumbnail because the algorithm knew I'd notice it lol. And in the beginning his character walks with a limp so I got intrigued. Unfortunately it turns into a bit of a horror movie so I'm not sure I'll be watching it even to find out what happened to him (I get scared super easily, I don't think it's classified as horror but he looks very grim by the end of the trailer)
But this led me to doing some googling and it seems that characters with a limp (and maybe in general disabilities to some extent) mostly occur as some weird, half human villains, most of my searches turned up films based on Steven King's books, or the guy from The shining, and that's not something I would enjoy... I might try "the usual suspects", but that is basically it. Even the Netflix series someone recommended, The Alienist, looks really intriguing but is apparently quite gruesome so I'm not sure I'll have the guts to watch it.
I think wheelchairs and maybe sign language have made it into the mainstream movies to some extent, but e.g. limping is probably seen as temporary in modern times, and not sexy... Where are the romantic comedies with limping characters?

I just took a little trip down the YouTube memory lane after seeing the teaser trailer for the new Avatar sequel, and I stumbled across this. Apparently it's the alternative opening to the original film that never made the cut, and man... I'm pretty sure my teenage dev heart would've exploded if I'd seen this in the theaters. I feel like I just stumbled upon some lost dev lore, haha. How'd I ever miss it?

If they would have just made a movie out of the beginning of this. I liked Avatar but I always wanted to see him in his world and not so much the "other world" with the blue creatures. This is an awesome alternative beginning.
And yes, I am also wondering about "Morbius". I saw the trailers and I thought about going to see it just for the character but I don't want to be disappointed.

We're obsessed with Avatar at my house. My daughter loves it!
Has anybody seen Adam featuring Aaron Paul? It's based on a true story. It's pretty good. I've had a little thing for Aaron Paul ever since Breaking Bad (shout out to RJ Mittee in that one).

I will check that one out It's on Prime but you have to pay to rent it. It's worth the watch, though.
