Fewer entries this month as college basketball and spring break sucked up a lot of my time.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t Look Up<\/a><\/em> It\u2019s certainly not high cinema, and there is nothing subtle about it. But overall I think it was well done, and we, honestly, aren\u2019t too many steps away from it actually happening. Applied to other situations, of course. I did enjoy the nod to the terrific end-of-the-world The Last Policeman<\/a> series, which I loved, in the final scene.<\/p>\n A-<\/p>\n Mountain of Storms: A Legendary Road Trip<\/a> A<\/p>\n Occupied<\/a><\/em>, season one B<\/p>\n Killing Eve<\/a><\/em>, season one A+<\/p>\n Audi E-Tron GT vs. the RS 6 on ice<\/a> B+<\/p>\n The Wreck of Shackleton\u2019s Endurance<\/a> A<\/p>\n Bill Hader Celebrity Impressions<\/a> A<\/p>\n Will Ferrell | Hilarious and Epic Bloopers, Gags and Outtakes Compilation<\/a> A-<\/p>\n GoPro Inside a Dishwasher<\/a> B+<\/p>\n How Saturn Got Its Rings<\/a> B+<\/p>\n The U.S. Rangers at Pointe du Hoc | History Traveler Episode 53<\/a> B-<\/p>\n How \u2018No Time To Die\u2019 Pulled Off James Bond\u2019s Opening Chase<\/a> A<\/p>\n
\nReviews for this were so mixed, with some people loving it and others straight-up hating it. I was finally encouraged to watch by two different friends who told me they really enjoyed it.<\/p>\n
\nAn old school travel movie covering the 1968 ascent of Cerro Fitz Roy in Argentina by a group that included the founder of the Patagonia gear company.<\/p>\n
\nThis popped up on a list of shows that were suddenly topical after Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine. It is a Norwegian series about a \u201csoft\u201d invasion of their country by the Russians after Norway attempts to shut off its oil production and shift to clean energy. There is some Scandinavian weirdness to it – there are a ton of scenes where two characters say \u201cHello,\u201d to each other and then share an awkward pause before starting their actual conversation – and the story is a little nutty. There are more seasons but I think one was enough for me.<\/p>\n
\nI\u2019ve heard great things about this for years and finally took a crack at it. As with Barry<\/em>, I was completely blown away. What a terrific show in every aspect. Fantastic writing. Amazing acting. Jodie Comer in particular was completely mesmerizing. A near-perfect last episode. I see that the reviews slip in succeeding seasons, so I\u2019m debating whether to continue.<\/p>\n
\nShorts<\/h3>\n
\nI\u2019ve heard about these winter driving experience courses. I was hoping to see more wiping out and sliding around. Missing that, still cool to see another way that EVs are better (and cooler) than gas-powered vehicles.<\/p>\n
\n117 years after it sank, researchers found The Endurance, the ship that carried Ernest Shackleton\u2019s legendary polar expedition.<\/p>\n
\nBrilliant.<\/p>\n
\nOne of those \u201cIt\u2019s late but I\u2019m not quite ready for bed\u201d finds. Feels like this could be better, I\u2019m guessing it\u2019s just an access issue.<\/p>\n
\nYou\u2019ve always wanted to know what goes on inside your dishwasher, right?<\/p>\n
\nScience!<\/p>\n
\nA YouTube algorithm rec. What amazes me about these types of videos is how much damage the bombings before\/during D-Day did to the earth. Massive shell craters remain even after nearly 80 years of wind, rain, and other weather. This has a cheesy musical interlude in the middle and gets a little judgey of a young girl who wasn\u2019t super interested in the site at the end, so I knock it down a notch.<\/p>\n
\nDope!<\/p>\n
