Speaking of handling chilis...
My Bhut Jolokia's are getting ripe. They are a variety of the Ghost Peppers...up to over 1000000 scoville...
I'm gonna dry them but one needs to be pretty darn careful with those...so I'll be grinding them outside and won't be going near them until the dust has settled and need to wear gloves and a mask at all times...
Fun experiment that one though....but might get painful too.

DETECTIVE KNIGHT TRILOGY
Rogue:
When the partner of a veteran detective Knight is shot by a crew of bank robbers he and his new partner go after them to New York where events of the past interfere with the present investigation.
Bruce Willis appears on screen maybe 15 minutes of the 1h 45min running time and has very few lines. Main focus is on the bank heist crew lead by Beau Mirchoff who actually doesn't do a half bad job.
But the movie is not very good, not a whole lot of action and the production has a cheapish feel to it.
* ½
Redemption:
After the events of the first movie Detective Knight finds himself in prison with the heist crew he was after soon he finds himself in a middle of a prison break orchastrated by a madman who wants to hurt the 1%. Knight is asked to go after them in exchange for his release.
This one is actually better than the first one. Willis gets more air time and he even has a few funny one liners but the ending shoot out isn't all that exciting and it's clear Bruce isn't is old self. The bad guy actor Paul Johansson stands out, as he over acts just right and makes quite the role.
* * ½
Independence:
Detective Knight has returned home to LA and is facing a former paramedic gone insane and impersonating a police officer and trying to rob a bank.
Again focus isn't quite on the main character played by Bruce Willis but he gets enough air time and again shoots of guns and one liners, but it's quite clear he quite isn't what he was.
The production values here are even less than on the previous two...sadly.
BUT the bad guy is played by one Jack Kilmer, the son of one VAL KILMER who looks almost just like his dad when he was young!
* *
The reason why I even watched these knowing all too well they aren't exactly cinema masterpieces is that these 3 were the VERY LAST movies Bruce Willis ever filmed before retiring after the Aphasia turned Dementia diagnosis. And that means an end of an era. Bruce Willis was without a doubt one of the best everyman action heroes of all time.
These were all filmed in less than one month period back to back in late 2021.

Well HELLO muscle relaxants!
Doctor suspected a muscle spasm or a muscle lock near the spine causing the ailment.
So he gave me some Sirdalud and strong painkillers and told to not move around too much.
These are some goooooooooooood drugs....mkay.

The Mandalorian And Grogu
The Mandalorian and his little sidekick Grogu are working as bounty hunters for the New Republic hunting down former Imperium warlords. When he gets a mission to rescue the son of former crime lord Jabba The Hutt from a planet he is being held as a gladiator, but Rotta The Hutt doesn't want to be saved.
The events happen after the events of the series, but honestly part from the relationship between Din and Grogu there really isn't much connection to the series. Sadly.
The cast is good, Pedro Pascal talks the lines of the Mandalorian with his usual presense and only gets one scene where he actually is in front of the camera. But that was basically the same with the series. Sigourney Weaver as the New Republic soldier does a great job as well. Rest of the cast is more or less digital creations. Even director legend Martin Scorsese gets a small speaking role.
The movie doesn't quite mange to capture the magic of the series and for the most part it just feels like a 3 part episode which in itself isn't a bad thing.
Good humor and good action, doesn't really bring anything new to the universe though. Could have been better but could have been much worse too.
Favreau as confirmed that The Mandalorian series will continue after this...eventhough this didn't do all that well at the box office.

Yeah gotta keep an eye on them batteries!
Back pain is still here. I was expecting it to fade away during the night but nooooo...
Which means I'm calling in sick for tonight...which is something I very very rarely do.
Have a doctor's appointment tomorrow. But I'm sure it'll go away by then but just in case....
