Saw a Sandra Bullock movie trailer pop up, what then hell I’ll watch. Unforgivable - not much happening in this movie at all, mostly a waste of 1:50 or whatever it was.

I started this the other night. It was a waste of time. Just a bunch of gloomy mopes and losers.   Much like the CR. At least the CR has some unintended humor built in.

That bitch needs to eat some cookies.

 Great movie. Way less problematic than Holiday Inn.

Funny enough, we watched Holiday Inn the other night having never seen it before. There was a small disclaimer at the beginning about racist depictions. I had read there was a scene with blackface. Oh wow did I underestimate how bad it was. It was bad but then Linda comes out as the ultimate blackface female stereotype and took it up a level. Different time, I get it but wow.

I thought 14 Peaks was badass.

Quite the undersell. It’s the story of a team of Nepalese climbers who summit all 14 of the world’s 8000+ meter peaks in 6 months. As someone who gets winded walking up 3 flights of stairs, I find this an incredible feat.

You would probably enjoy River Runner then. It’s about a guy who kayaks 4 ridiculously dangerous rivers in Tibet.

I saw that It Follows is on Netflix. Great horror flick - sexually transmitted monster. Recommend.

I liked this one too. Very creepy without really being gory.

Munich does looks good - and if you're interested in pre-nazi Germany and the political turmoil leading up to WWII, check out Babylon Berlin. 

And definitely in for Season 3 of Afterlife on Jan. 14th.

I’ve been bingeing Call My Agent and am enjoying it. It’s a French show (subtitles) about a talent agency. Interesting premise in that each week deals with a different real life French movie star. Good recurring cast as well.

Enjoyed the first few episodes of “Call My Agent”. It’s a French show about a talent agency in Paris and they have actual French actors portraying themselves. It’s light and entertaining with French people being French.

As a Francophile, it’s right up my alley.

Call My Agent was a fun series with lots of good cameos. 

 

 

Call My Agent is fantastic. Haven't finished yet but it's a show worth raving about. I had some resistance to watching it because I doubted they'd do a good job with making the subject matter fun and interesting, buy they nailed it.

Watching Brand New Cherry Flavor. Fuckin weird as fuck. I’m into it. 

I randomly started watching this last night. Second. Still not sure is this is intentional or a parody. Disappointing it took five episodes to earn the nudity warning.

Starting “fat. Salt. Acid. Heat”.   Episode 1 she is in Italy.   Intriguing 

This is one of the better examples of the genre.

I'm a little tardy but have been watching Harlan Coben's shows on Netflix - The Stranger and Stay Close. Both really good murder-mystery shows.

Really enjoyed Stay Close.  It was a little confusing at first, with all the different plot lines with the different characters.  After wife and I got used to the characters and began to see their roles, it proved to be well done.

We're big James Nesbitt and Jo Joyner fans, and the cast contains several other solid British TV regulars.

Watched the limited series on New York's Torso Killer.

I can never get enough of Times Square in the 70's.

Watched this yesterday.  Very interesting after watching The Deuce on HBO.

Also check out The Alpinist.

Just caught this last night. Crazy when people ascend some of these mountains without ropes. Good documentary on the guy.

Caught 14 peaks a few nights ago and caught this one tonight.  I realize that these people are truly exceptional, but damn if I don’t feel like a lump after watching them.
