I never got into it. The humour didn't land with me.

I can see that. Not sure it does with me either. 12 seasons so somebody apparently liked it.

I thought it was funny in my 20's but only watched high with my friends. Might hit different sober in the den lol.

One Battle After Another has dropped on HBO. Best film of the year according to a lot of folks.

New season of Fallout has begun on Amazon Prime.

I watched these movies back to back last night and both were terrific. Unhinged thrillers with depth. Bugonia is the latest collaboration between Emma Stone and director Yorgos Lanthimos (Poor Things, Kinds of Kindness, The Favourite). Raging Grace I'd never heard of but it deserves a watch.

Season 2 of The Night Manager comes out next month on Prime, 9 years after season 1. Kinda weird but a nice surprise.

Avatar 3 mediocre, Zootopia 2 solid.

If you guys haven't seen Such Brave Girls, it's a wonderfully dark Britcom.

Watched Bugonia the other night. I really liked it until the ending. Great acting and intense thoughtful dialogue. That ending felt lazy to me.

Just started Tehran on Apple. It seems really good.

When I saw this, I was like, I think I watched that and low and behold, I did. Totally forgot about it and since it's been that long, no surprise. So thanks for catching it.
Just finished "1923" the other night finally. When I started it I thought it was all over the place, but finally gave it another go during vacation week and it did not disappoint. Connects a lot of dots to "Yellowstone" such as the origins of the "train station" and Rainwaters character. I will say Sheridan really knows how to hit emotions.

Born in Fall River, live in the NH coast. I can see the Piscataqua River from our window/driveway. I want to build a ferry like in Jaws so I can get to Maine without going all the way around. It’s a tease to see Maine within a few hundred yards only to make you drive miles to get there. Maybe a zip line or a pontoon bridge like the Persians built during the Persian Wars.

Picked up a hitcher when I lived in Maine who had a truly amazing accent. I couldn’t even understand the dude.
