What I’m watching

Binging “Leverage.” One thing - As Amazon Prime has added ads, the new “no ads” upgrade does just that. No ads at all (including the ads they were doing before an episode for their own shows).

In tribute to the sprit of the show, let’s go steal a National Championship this season. :wink:

Masters of the Air on Apple+. Liking it so far.

Watched this for the first time tonight. It was pretty good, but I’m usually not too keen on romance movies. Love Ralph Fiennes.

I recall really liking this film many years ago - thanks for the reminder, I’ll watch it again.

Elaine hated it. This episode of Seinfeld really captures the zeitgeist of the era when the movie was released.

Watched this this evening. Rush and Firth were fantastic.

Just watched the ESPN documentary on Ric Flair. Talk about a blast from the past! I remember watching him on the AWA broadcasts form SLC. He didn’t get here a lot, though.

It was worth the time.

I’ve had some recent travel and have been able to watch way more shows and movies than usual lately.

Finished Ashoka on Disney+. I understand this is basically a live action version of the Clone Wars cartoon, which I’ve never watched. Really enjoyed this show though, and am considering starting the cartoon now as well.

Blue Eyed Samurai on Netflix. An absolutely incredible anime-ish story about a samurai out for revenge in feudal Japan. Stunning animation, a fantastic story, amazing voice work, and sublime music make for a complete package. If you enjoy animation at all, this is a must-see (with the caveat that it’s not at all for kids. It’s very gory and has lots of, er, spicy scenes as well.

Watched The Batman on Max. I’m not much of a Batman fan to begin with (I’ve always thought he’s kind of a silly character) but thought this was a pretty good take…right up until the incredibly stupid ending that drove the entire thing off a cliff. I was honestly laughing out loud at how truly awful that ending was. Just laughably bad.

After hearing years of hype, I finally got around to starting Rick and Morty and am halfway through Season 3. It’s highly amusing in a very “WTF?” way.

And, of course, I watched Blazing Saddles for it’s 50th anniversary. Still the funniest movie ever put to film.

The most current season of Rick and Morty is so damn cringe but I love it … I have a really twisted dark sense of humor.

I have been on an Apple TV+ kick.

I loved Monarch, but I love all things Godzilla.

Invasion was a cool take on Alien Invasion … can’t wait for season 3.

Foundation is great, lots of liberty taken away from the books but I’m really enjoying that one.

Finally started For All Mankind, I’m through season 1 and 2 episodes into Season 2 and really enjoying it so far.

Saw this in the theater when it came out. Cant believe it’s been almost 22 years. I guess I’m getting~ older.

Some of his Scientology work is inspired.

Sorry, I just can’t. If you see the crime happen in the future, and travel to the future to prevent the crime, then the crime didn’t happen and you couldn’t have seen it.

a nice bit of extra-curriculars in front of a nun after the Texas A&M-Commerce @ Incarnate Word game
I would hesitate to call it a ‘massive brawl’, but I’m not a sportswriter.
