That person is an idiot. Babylon is horrible.

I've been home with the flu most of the week. I watched Wolf of Wall Street and No Hard Feelings. Morgot Robbie and Jennifer Lawrence are both great beauties and each of them fully displayed that in these movies. We can't lose R movies so bravo to these leading ladies for not being cunts.
Started watching 6 feet under, not sure if it’s good yet…we’ll reviewed but a bit dull.
Turning Point - the Bomb and the Cold War. Its a good watch through E2. A good amount of time spent on the Rosenbergs, Roy Cohn and Joseph McCarthy. If it becomes a mess of propaganda in later episodes I don't yet know.
Finished 3 Body Problem. Underwhelmed.
I had heard about it for years. The expense nearing $200 million, issues with production, etc.
I didn't hate it. It was just a show, not some creative masterpiece imo.
The concept intrigued me. For such an expensive project, the cast felt average.
I am not a huge sci-fi consumer, but now I am going to have to buy the books. They had to be better than this, and I have a feeling its performed ok, but at its price tag, I don't know if I see them greenlighting the rest of the trilogy and I kind of need to know where it was going. This one took 4 years and they financed it at the peak of Covid when Netflix coffers overflowed.
Watch Shogun on Hulu. Well done. Good cast. Cosmo Jarvis has young Brando qualities and there are a bunch of hot asian babes.
Unfrosted might be the worst movie ever. Its with Jerry Seinfeld so I thought it might be good but its not.
Did anyone watch the Tom Brady roast? It was pretty good. Definitely not woke. Belichick, Bledsoe and some others were excellent. Gronk was not. Worth watching. Some of the people actually made black and gay jokes.
Cost is minimal think I am going to purchase it don't know how it works
The Comeback - the 2004 Boston Red Sox is must see TV. Can't believe this was 20 years ago. It remains the best, most thrilling thing to ever happen in sports for me as a fan. Bigger than Larry Bird, the Celtics and anything the Patriots could ever do.
What happened in 2003 to the Sox was gut wrenching and the fault of Grady Little and so when 2004 came around and the team goes down 3-0 to the bottom of the 9th with the greatest closer ever (Mariano Rivera) set to end another awful season I went to bed. My youngest kid was not even a year old when this happened so sleep was at a premium.
I went to bed pissed and woke up to my wife who said "well, they're gonna play again tonight." I didn't miss another pitch after that. As this was all happening it was really incredible. All of New England was glued to these games. As great as it was the joy faded for me soon after when Pedro signed with the Mets for the '05 season and then in later years when it was learned Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz were juicing.
I saw Pedro drilling Yankees batters in a trailer and said to myself, “do I gamble my memory of just how epic that series was with this documentary”. Can they do it justice?
I passed for now. However, if you can vouch and escrow with Druff I will watch.
It’s sad how gay baseball has become. Let me count the ways.
hey sal can you tell us the story of the mariners when they won a bunch of games in like 2001 like all the games and then lost in the playoffs like clowns you were there for that right
like a historic choke and collapse is what im reading here did that happen?
I've been patiently waiting for you to comment on this. Someone (HBO maybe?) did a special called "The Curse of the Bambino" many years ago. You can see that on youtube. This special, IMO, is 2nd to that but still very good. Joe Castiglione and Jerry Trupiano were the best radio team and the special didn't have enough of them calling the top plays.
What happened that year WAS epic. People hanging Sox flags on graves and literally crying with joy. Old folks who thought they'd never in their life see the Sox win just one time. All the bad memories of '75, '86, '90 and 2003 and every other season for 86 years forgiven with that series.
I read earlier about Vaughnp's Rangers win and Sloppyjoe and the Cubbies and I'm happy for them but there was nothing like what happened for the Sox in '04. By the time the Cubs finally won even the White Sox had broken their own curse.
Amazon Prime but if you’re an 80s kid checkout Snack Shack.
Much better than expected.
I haven't really seen talk of the show YOU, which is on Netflix.
The show is about a disturbed man named Joe Goldberg, who is a serial killer despite making every attempt to live a normal life. It requires a lot of suspension of disbelief, but is entertaining enough.
It took a darker turn in Season 4, and last aired in March 2023.
The final season is internally projected to be released on or around February 20, 2025, but that is still tentative.
Aaron Rodgers is kinda hippie lmao

Been watching the Dune prequel series on Max. Surprisingly entertaining. It is very woke in the sense that most of the male characters are stupid cucks, and all the strong characters are women. And truthfully it is more of a fantasy show than sci fi thematically, but an entertaining ride nonetheless.
American primeval is legit
i just stayed awake for the killer with fassbender it was good? like honestly if you need background to sleep it would also be good
I can watch anything set in that period, but an annoying woman who is just continually wrong to the point she gets almost everyone killed multiple times and herself raped isn't particularly compelling imo. She was so annoying through probably the first 60% of the show, I found myself cheering for the bounty hunters to just take her away
It's well made enough and visually I can watch any of those period pieces. I thought about abandoning it, but there were enough decent things to stick with it.
I don't abandon much. I am one of those sunken cost guys with my time when I already have a few hours invested. It was decent besides her character through the first half. I had read reviews and honestly was kind of expecting a bigger climax fight. The reviews had made it sound particularly brutal, but I didn't view it as gruesome as they described it.
Like 7/10 or whatever it averaged was pretty fair imo. Worth watching, but not something I will revisit.
I know Tottenham is bad. I lose track with the EPL. Should probably change the avatar. Was a time when I was very engaged, but if I am on a later sleep schedule, I tend to never be up. It's not like it's college football which I am never missing.
was it jon hamm from the hit streaming show landman
Watched Dead Money on Hulu. It’s not bad, despite the 25% on Rotten Tomatoes. It is totally a B movie about crime and revenge etc, and there isnt that much poker in it, but for a free watch while playing online PLO, its OK.
Just watched Season 1 of Foundation. Once you get past all the woke black girl boss stuff, thought it was actually very good. This is on the heels of getting caught up on the Silo series, which was also very good IMO.
It is a very weird dynamic how Apple+ actually has some pretty good content, but it seems Apple the company just views it as a tax write off and does very little to promote their material and grow the brand. I am a sci fi buff who actually read The Foundation series (35 years ago when I was a kid, and didn't remember a thing except the broad strokes of Hari Seldon and psychohistory), but wasn't even aware they had used the premise to make a pretty compelling sci fi series.
todge who knew one of ur nerds would be a sci fi buff rofl
I started watching a film the other night on netflix i forget the name sorry, it was a normal film looking like some sort of thriller then this woman reached around this guys trousers tossing him off until he come !

Aaron Rodgers Enigma was good..

I watched Sugarland Express yesterday. A very young Goldie Hawn (1974) and a not terrible plot. I enjoyed that most of the movie took place as a police chase so you got to see all the old cars and trucks, almost all of which were American.
