I thought people were protesting Seinfeld because Jerry is a pedophile and Zionist. Nonetheless, it is a funny show. Also, try Curb Your Enthusiasm.
I don't know about any protests and I don't care enough to stop watching it.
But embarrassingly enough I actually watched all the seasons of Curb a few months back and finally decided to try the Seinfeld. I was expecting it to be the usual sitcom routine but I shouldn't have prejudged it esp considering Larry's sense of humor.
I think I was in your shoes too. I remember watching some episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm, then I stopped for some reason. Then I watched Seinfeld and continued watching Curb Your Enthusiasm after.
Longlegs. Pretty good movie that leaves you guessing with a neat twist at the end
I found an '80s show that I somehow completely missed: "Sledge Hammer!" I don't know how I missed this show, but I've binged it now.
I remember when that was popular. Haven't thought about it in years. I'll have to check it out again.
Ooh, Sledge Hammer was fun. My memory says something like David Rasche for the lead?
That's the one!
Beat Bobby Flay and I’m salivating over a Korean BBQ meatloaf. (He won)
I bet he used Calabrian chilies
My wife and I got around to the watching Guy Mongomery's My Brain Is Blowing Me Crazy. We've been watching his stuff since Taskmaster NZ series 2 but only recently found he released that on YT.
The Accountant
- It was fun
Project Power
- loved this one
The Fall Guy
- it had some good scenes, but I found myself getting bored during a lot of the dialogue
My wife and I watched the fall guy while we worked last night. We both thought it was a really good movie but weren't fully paying attention. There were a few scenes that had us both shutting our laptop lids a little waiting to see how it played out.
I caught Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and it was a fun time, I appreciated the practical effects and dourly hilarious dialogue and characters. Not a huge Juice head, but I thought it was a fun popcorn movie.
I've been watching Apple TVs Sunny starring Rashida Jones and am getting to the finale tonight.
Honestly, pretty good stuff. Very interested to see how it ties up.
Slow Horses Season 4 which is excellent as always, and Bad Monkey which is my favorite thing on TV right now. It’s just brilliant.
Both on AppleTV+
Gary Oldman's Jackson Lamb is the most perfect portrayal of a character from a book I've ever seen. I'd read three or four of the books before the first series came on, and when I saw him on screen for the first time I was blown away. The look, the delivery of his lines, everything is spot on.
He's a brilliant character. My wife and I regularly refer to him in real life (e.g. she will call me Jackson Lamb when I'm eating sloppily).
The rings of powers, only Murders on the building and Snowpiercer.
For movies Kind of Kindess, love it. Latitmos is the best. The Favorite and Poor Things were good, but didn't felt as much as their style, but Kind of Kindness is right on his field.
Am I on the minority for liking rings of power?
I think is Ok, and I like it like that. People expect every show to being Game of Thrones 9.9/10, and anything that doesn't get to that is completely trash, but they're space for 7/10 shows too.
I'm enjoying the pace of this season, were they don't feel the need to show every character on every episode, and they don't feel all over the place.
finished DARK. Woahhhh!!! Starting The Acolyte. So far kind of meh. If by next chapter doesn't improve, I'll stop.
Deep Space 9, Episode 6.
I've never watched anything Star Trek before, and DS9 is shaping up to be a pretty damn good start to the series. Benjamin Sisko was a super engaging character right away, and I'm really enjoying moving through each of the cast and getting to understand them.
This one was the O'Brien episode with Tosk.
DS9 'Captive Pursuit' spoiler
I really like weirdo characters that make sense within their own context, and Tosk definitely checks those boxes. Even if the whole institutionalized bloodsport thing is fucked up, by the end of the episode it was hard not to think of OBrien's call to let the hunt continue as the correct choice.
Star Trek Voyager
Was on the road working this whole week. Watches “You” on Netflix and caught up on it.
