Finally saw the recent "Elvis" movie. [View all]

What a disappointment. Between the music video editing and Tom Hanks' bumbling portrayal of Col. Tom Parker, it was really awful. Austin Butler was decent as Elvis (and I did like the Comeback Special scenes), but the rest of the movie was pretty forgettable.

Just before I watched it, I finally had watched "Sun Records," the multi-part miniseries from CMT. Although this wasn't perfect, it was much much better. More realistic (a little too much in spots) and the music was better. No rap like in "Elvis". (FYI, This is available on Paramount+)

Have started watching "Priscilla" on Max. The beginning looked good.
