I woke up this morning with a sense of dread.
But that was quickly replaced with gratitude, because my screwed-up knee wasn't locked up this morning. Nope... I was able to move it freely, and there wasn't any pain at all. This was unexpected. Once I crossed the big five-oh, it seems like even small tumbles which would have been shaken off immediately 20 years ago can lay me up for a week or more. I keep trying to remind myself to be more careful because getting old sucks, but my head is not cooperating. It's still governing my body as if I was 22 or something. I don't know what it's going to take for my head to get the message, but I hope it's not something too serious.
Although...
It's difficult for me to throw a pity party for my aging body when every time I read what's happening in the world it seems like something new and worse has happened. Yesterday the news hit that Andre Braugher had died. He's a remarkable actor, and his run on Homicide: Life on The Street was incredible. When he pivoted flawlessly to comedy with Brooklyn Nine-Nine, you just knew the guy was capable of absolutely anything. The official YouTube channel had a nice video tribute to him...
The last project he was in was a supporting role in The Good Fight, which was great, but there was so much more left for him to offer. He will be very much missed.
There was a glimmer of light awaiting me this morning, however.
After getting teased with this poster by Netflix...
Today they released a teaser trailer for Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F...
Judge Reinhold, John Ashton, Paul Reiser, and Bronson Pinchot all returning. Ronny Cox absent because he passed in 2006. And I'm not seeing Héctor Elizondo, so his character must not be returning.
Almost didn't recognize Joseph Gordon-Levitt being added.
And Kevin Bacon as the villain? Nice
I was a bit disappointed by Coming 2 America, but this looks like they are embracing what made the Beverly Hills Cop franchise such a beloved trilogy (YES, I'M INCLUDING BEVERLY HILLS COP 3, BECAUSE I LIKED IT!!). Hopefully it won't disappoint.
Because what the world really needs right now is a reason to laugh.

I will watch the heck out of the new Beverly Hills Cop movie.
I really enjoyed Andre Braugher in the few episodes of Homicide that I watched and the many episodes of Brooklyn Nine-Nine I watched. That video tribute was great.
Ok. I am on board for Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F next summer. I really like they used the Biggie song.
