    Mythic Quest and Ted Lasso are both Apple TV shows and both are pretty good.

    "A new take on the epic fantasy genre... Darkly comic, relatable characters... twisted storyline."
    "Readers who prefer tension and romance, Maledictions: The Offering, delivers... As serious YA fiction, I’ll give it five stars out of five. As a novel? Four and a half." - Liz Ellor

    Harrison Ford is staying in my town to film a scene for the next Indiana Jones movie. He was photographed across the way from my apartment block this morning just trying to live his life.

    Which leads to me, on the 0.3 mile walk to get my vaccine, walking past 2 news film crews, crowds of people and... A man dressed in a full on Santa outfit? Full beard, bell, everything.

    I can only assume that this was Ford dressed in the most 5d chess costume imaginable to get away from everyone

    Ted Lasso's fucking great

    Dickinson's a blast

    Shows I’ve loved:
    Dickinson
    Ted Lasso
    Central Park

    Films I’ve loved:
    Billie Eilish: The World’s a Little Blurry
    Beastie Boys Story
    Wolfwalkers

    There’s a lot I haven’t seen, as like with any streaming service (no matter how much content on it) it can be overwhelming to know where to start. If nothing else, watch Dickinson and Ted Lasso

    Ted Lasso is more or less universally beloved and won some Emmys.

    I haven't actually paid a subscription for Apple TV in I don't know how long. Every month they add a $5 credit to my account and that goes towards paying it. I forgot to update my credit card info after replacing my card and they've basically been giving me the service for free. I don't know if that's a covid thing or not.

    Free Ted Lasso is pretty good

    Announcing Bright: Samurai Soul.

    Izo, a Ronin, and Raiden, an orc, work to bring a young elf girl and the wand she carries to the land of the elves in the north.

    Based on the Netflix movie, the anime film will be directed by Kyohei Ishiguro.

    Hey why

    “Jonah Hill will star in Kenya Barris’ latest Netflix film.

    It is said to be a modern look at the themes tackled in ‘Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?’, the 1967 classic that saw a white couple’s daughter surprise her parents with a Black fiancé.”

    I’m good, thanks

    Actually, lets be honest, Jonah Hill is absolutely too old to play the fiancé, but is old enough to play the dad (maybe a little young, but it could work). Maybe the modern look is Jonah plays the father who needs to reassess their worldview and how they viewed society and untimely learns...racism bad?

  • MegaMan001MegaMan001 CRNA Rochester, MNRegistered User regular
    Kenya Barris made his life story into a tv series not once, but twice, and he managed to star in it the second time.

    I respect the man's work ethic, but I don't really dig his stuff. Based on seeing a few seasons of Blackish and the Netflix series I don't think that remake is going to be any good.

    It's maddening that they keep trying to get away with this.

    Sidney Poitier was 40 and the character was a doctor. If they're flipping things around in this new one I don't know how being 37 is too old to play that character.

    That's if they are changing the characters up a little. Also Jonah hill is a few months younger than me. Now I feel even older than too old.

    I just watched Tenet, as intended. On my 10 year old tv with subtitles on.

    It was actually really fucking good. I was shocked.

    Hill and Tatum lit up the screen in the Jump Steet movies in a way I honestly did not expect at all. It made sense when I realized they were helmed by the same guys who directed the original Lego Movie.

    I decided to rewatch this movie recently and I got to say after listening to so many idiots on Twitter insisting that taking out student loans was entirely a personal decision that people should be held accountable for it was nice to be reminded of just how culturally inescapable the idea that not going to college meant you had no future was.

    The advice we were getting in the 90s was from folks who graduated in the decades before when not as many people went to college and they were mostly wealthy and white and could slip into a middle management role with any degree because they knew a guy.

    I don’t think it became fully apparent how much of a lie this was until it was way too late though. 2008 made it blatantly obvious.

    It's a little of that, it's also that the promise of more school in your story opens up opportunity for more stories about time with friends, more parties, more adventures, etc. Compared to "it's our last summer together and then I'm going to be the assistant manager of a Wendy's". Animal House is basically that. It avoids the bleakness of having to grow up and get a 9 to 5.
