I think I broke my media consumption habits in October and have yet to get them right. A lot of basketball (on TV and in person) and another week away from home didn\u2019t help. Thus, another rather short list of things to share this month.<\/p>\n
Halloween Baking Championship<\/a><\/em> A<\/p>\n My Next Guest Needs No Introduction<\/a><\/em> A<\/p>\n Goodfellas<\/a><\/em> A, A<\/p>\n Molly\u2019s Game<\/a><\/em> Anyway, I thought this was quite good. I think Idris Elba could have been used more, but it wasn\u2019t his character\u2019s story. Jessica Chastain was mesmerizing.<\/p>\n A-<\/p>\n Operation Mincemeat<\/a><\/em> A-<\/p>\n \u2019Tis the Season: The Holidays on Screen<\/a><\/em> A-<\/p>\n Gateway Astro: $800 All-In-One PC from 1999!<\/a> One Hour of 80\u2019s Video Game Commercials<\/a> Audi S8 v Porsche Panamera Turbo: DRAG RACE<\/a> Seinfeld Bloopers<\/a>
\nI wrapped up the most recent season on November 2. Blayre was a deserving winner in a season filled with super-talented bakers. Seriously, any of six bakers could have won and I wouldn\u2019t have been mad. Also I forgot to mention last month that L no longer watches these shows with me. Sad.<\/p>\n
\nI think I watched 4\u20135 of these early in the month, skipping around to watch guests I was most interested in. As expected, really good stuff.<\/p>\n
\nThe Godfather<\/a><\/em>
\nOne weekend A&E was showing these and The Godfather Part 2<\/em> on an endless loop so I popped in several times. I\u2019ve always been a Goodfellas<\/em> >>> Godfather<\/em> guy, so I made sure to catch more of it. Still, two American classics.<\/p>\n
\nAlthough I loaded by iPad up with a lot of content for our trip, I only ended up watching two movies, and both on the way back. Seriously, I\u2019m not sure how I managed the flight to Europe so easily.<\/p>\n
\nMy other airplane movie, I thought it was also well done, if given a few dramatic turns I figured were probably added just to make the story more interesting. One big one – the love triangle – was confirmed to be manufactured for the screen. There were some other elements I have not found anything to confirm or deny they were added by the screenwriters, but I\u2019ll assume they were.<\/p>\n
\nI stumbled onto this one night as it began and ended up watching for all two hours. I\u2019ve watched a few other shows that are about Christmas movies and this was much better than them, less a clip show that an exploration of what makes holiday movies resonate with us.<\/p>\n
\nShorts, YouTubes, Etc<\/h3>\n
\nI don\u2019t remember these at all, but if I did I bet I thought they were pretty dope.<\/p>\n
\nNot sure what was worse: the Atari games or their commercials. Of course I watched every minute of this.<\/p>\n
\nFor some reason the Audi videos haven\u2019t been showing up in my feed lately. I\u2019m glad this one popped up.<\/p>\n
\nA few pretty good ones in this compilation.<\/p>\n
