Netflix Recommendations
We watched Nobody Wants This for a change of pace from the usual serious dramas. I liked the first few episodes but liked it less and less by the end. The “loser siblings” were far better than the main couple. Most rom-coms feature two people who likely belong together but have certain overcome-able differences that initially stand in the way. This story has two characters who clearly don’t belong together and don’t even have good chemistry, yet I’m supposed to root for them to beat the odds. Just split up already.

Ted Lasso (Apple+)
Agreed. For all the hate it received, it’s a great standalone episode and has become yearly viewing for us.

Silo (Apple TV+) - Premiers May 5th
Episodes without Juliette are not great. Aside from Rebecca Ferguson being the best actor and a beautiful woman, Juliette’s situation is the most interesting and they need to move that plot forward every single week. That’s what will most likely reveal answers to some of the biggest mysteries. The rest of the show with the mayor and judicial and IT and the sheriff and mechanical is boring by comparison. It can’t stand on its own. It’s like a Christmas dinner with only mediocre sides. It’s like a LOST episode that focused on Michelle Rodriguez. No one wants it.

Tulum, Mexico
I’m considering a trip down in February. I like Tulum quite a bit for a short weekend getaway to escape the Texas winters. It’s great for that kind of thing and beats the hell out of a mega resort in Cancun or Cabo.

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
When you have 12 kids, you can lose a couple to cancer and nobody gives a shit. Especially if one of them has a serial number in place of a name.

Texas -- a failed state
Maybe we should chip in for a billboard that says “If you come to Texas, an oak tree might fall on you and then you will never walk again.”

La La Land will print money, but I am a little surprised at their location choice.

We could chip in to get him a service dog. It would be cheaper.

Fort Worth is exploding
Terry Blacks appeared to be hopping tonight. Maybe a soft open? The building looks cool and I look forward to going.

Meta World Least
I’m conflicted. We do need to be investing in nuclear energy, but it also seems like the Trump administration will not be the best time to launch these plans.

I Don't Really Watch or Like TV or Movies Anymore
I like to watch about 1 hour of TV each night, usually a drama but occasional comedy, and there are tons of good options for that. I maintain Apple+, Netflix, HBO, and Amazon subscriptions, and I randomly activate Hulu or Paramount long enough to binge a specific show. Movies have been in a slump for a while but I’ve still enjoyed some of the 2024 new releases- Dune pt II, Civil War, Hit Man, Fall Guy, Challengers, The Substance, A Quiet Place Day 1, Furiosa. I’d still like to see Gladiator 2 and Anora, so that’s a decent list but not enough to supply me with a new good movie every weekend

White Lotus - HBO
This is the correct opinion.

Trump’s America
Early indications are that Trump’s America will be a complete reversal of the Me Too years. Certain men can now sexually assault women with impunity and rise to the highest levels of our new MAGA government. RFK Jr, Hegseth, Gaetz, and Trump himself. Well somehow Gaetz was a little too slimy so don’t ever let your loved ones near that guy for sure. America elected a rapist, so here we go. If you’re a woman and you voted for him, wtf. Anthony Weiner and Roy Moore were a little ahead of their time.

What Is The Best Christmas Movie?
I also consider that a Christmas movie because Don Corleone was Christmas shopping when he got shot.

Landman
I watched ~3 seasons of Yellowstone before it became too absurd and I had to bail. Just terrible, lazy writing. Awful characters and a meandering plot. I watched 1883 and Mayor of Kingstown and they were better but still sloppy and frustrating to watch. I kind of swore off Taylor Sheridan after that. Is there any reason I should even start Landman or is it more of the same? I don’t care if Ali Larter is still hot because literally every show has hot women and some of them also have good plots. My BIL said Landman is good and now my wife is curious but I don’t trust his TV recs.

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
I don’t know about vile criticism, but these are semi-pro athletes making millions of dollars to play a sport. It comes with the territory, just like it does for practically every pro athlete. I’m not sure why they should be immune to some degree of criticism when they underperform?

CEO of UHG Shot and Killed in NYC - WTF is wrong with you New York
The greater problem here is that capitalism has run amok. It has created a massive wealth divide in this country that is only getting worse and creates countless problems that disrupt and destabilize society. We can’t even have fair elections because Elon will threaten to primary anyone who threatens his fragile ego. The specific problem here is that capitalism has invaded healthcare. It’s impossible to ethically provide healthcare to the masses when you have a few multi-billion dollar companies who get to decide what degree of care is provided, and those companies are driven by profits and a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders, as well as the greed of their own executives. Brian Thompson and Luigi Mangione are just symptoms of the system America has developed over decades. It’s less surprising that it happened and more surprising that it doesn’t happen more often. I don’t know what the fix is. There probably isn’t one. Maybe these are the problems that eventually reach a tipping point and result in a social uprising. I’m not happy about any murders but I’ll save my tears for school shooting victims and let other people worry about CEOs.

- Silo (Apple TV+) - Premiers May 5th
I’m also getting increasingly annoyed with how the greater population of the silo can be influenced and manipulated so easily. Last episode, Bernard gives a shitty speech and at some point the entire crowd flips from hating him to supporting him. This week, everyone is on edge and then Common tells them the people from mechanical murdered Meadows and the mob instantly redirects. It’s like a bunch of elementary children. Or perhaps it’s like a surly game thread that got morphed into part of a TV series.- Silo (Apple TV+) - Premiers May 5th
When Juliette swam underwater to get the firefighter suit, where were those lights coming from? This silo, apart from the vault, appears dead, yet there happens to be a few lights still functioning in locations critical to her mission? - Silo (Apple TV+) - Premiers May 5th
