Slow month between lots of basketball early in March, watching one show exclusively for a week, and then spring break.<\/p>\n
From Paseo To Pembroke: Kansas City\u2019s Golden Era<\/a> A<\/p>\n Luther<\/a>, seasons 1\u20135 Boy was it!<\/p>\n It was suspenseful, well-written, creepy, and filled with great performances. Elba is terrific. But Ruth Wilson as Alice Morgan has to be one of the greatest characters ever in British TV. I say that having watched maybe 3\u20134 British TV shows. Still feel confident in my assessment.<\/p>\n The movie wasn\u2019t quite as good, feeling more like an excuse to bring Luther back to the public. Which was just fine. I watched it on our flight home from Punta Cana and it was perfect for that setting.<\/p>\n A, B<\/p>\n The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford<\/a> B-<\/p>\n Extraction<\/a> B+<\/p>\n No Time To Die<\/a> A<\/p>\n The War on Drugs – full live acoustic 2017 Studio Brussel<\/a> This Secret Dealer Sells White Toyotas That Save The World<\/a> Destination Berlin<\/a> The High Route<\/a> Tragedy of a Landmark Album: 3 Feet High and Rising<\/a> 10 Things Ted Lasso\u2019s Brett Goldstein Can\u2019t Live Without<\/a> Frightened Rabbit\u2026 In Session<\/a> F\u201322 Raptor | The Most Lethal Fighter Jet Ever Built<\/a> (people) of water<\/a>
\nI had heard of this but didn\u2019t realize it was on YouTube until KC buddy Newman sent it my way. A great look at the golden age of Kansas City high school basketball, from 1988 to 1998. I was at a few of the games featured. Terry Nooner was robbed by that ref in 1995.<\/p>\n
\nLuther: The Fallen Sun<\/a>
\nI saw some buzz about the Luther<\/em> movie in early March but didn\u2019t know a thing about the show. So I looked it up. When I saw that it starred Idris Elba as a bad ass detective who takes down the sickest killers in London, I figured it was worth checking out.<\/p>\n
\nToo long, too slow. Some fine acting and a few good scenes but they were counter-balanced by the drudgery it was to get through this. I had to break it up into two sittings to finish it.<\/p>\n
\nHow did I spend my post-KU tourney exit evening? Watching Chris Hemsworth shoot, stab, and fight people to death for just under two hours. It helped a little.<\/p>\n
\nWatched this for the third time on our flight to the Dominican. Still great.<\/p>\n
\nShorts, YouTubes, etc<\/h3>\n
\nGood as always.<\/p>\n
\nMcLaren Speedtail vs F35 Fighter Jet<\/a>
\nI\u2019ve never watched Top Gear, but listen to several podcasts hosted by people who love it. I caught each of these shorts, which were great. Not sure I\u2019m ready to dive into the full-length pieces, but I\u2019ll keep an eye out for more of these bite-sized features.<\/p>\n
\nThis is incredible. It is a highly detailed guide on the procedures British troops were expected to follow when traveling from West Germany to West Berlin in the 1980s.<\/p>\n
\nI have periodic spells of interest in adventure stuff like this. While in the midst of them I generally have three thoughts. 1) These adventures and the people who do them are amazing. 2) Even at my fittest I could never come close to doing anything like this. 3) How long would it take me to snap a leg or ankle if I did the easiest<\/strong> parts of a trek like this?<\/p>\n
\nThere was tons of De La Soul content last month. Which was a very good thing.<\/p>\n
\nI\u2019ve watched a few of these and they generally suck. Rich, old, white actors talking about their fancy, hand-made, leather slippers and whatnot. But Brett Goldstein? Of course this is the fucking best.<\/p>\n
\nA very good session from their early days.<\/p>\n
\nThanks to the good people at Raytheon for helping to produce this high quality propaganda.<\/p>\n
\nA cool video to begin with. Then they ended up on the Na Pali coast of Kauai and I was all in.<\/p>\n
