Best part was they didn\u2019t know they had been included until I sent them a screenshot.<\/p>\n A<\/p>\n The Night Agent<\/a> I think that was a good description. This show had a lot of potential, a few good performances, and moments of high action. But it also had a really dumb central plot and some actors who were obviously pulled out of the soap opera world, which made for an odd fit. There were a couple characters that I knew exactly what their fates were when they showed up. And the chemistry between the two leads was a little weird.<\/p>\n B-<\/p>\n Tourist Sauce<\/a>, season eight A<\/p>\n 100 Foot Wave<\/a>, season one A<\/p>\n The Town<\/a> A-<\/p>\n Ted Lasso<\/a>, season 1 A+<\/p>\n Superpower for Hire: Rise of the Private Military<\/a> Running a marathon in a luxury hotel<\/a> San Francisco to LA | A Bikepacking Journey Along the Coast<\/a> DOES YOUR FLAG FAIL?

\nIt had been several years since I watched this. Still holds up, even with all the historical inaccuracies.<\/p>\n
\nMaybe the biggest mystery of our time is what happened to this Boeing 777 when it disappeared in 2014. This three-episode series dives into all the theories. Not sure it gets us any closer to an answer, which makes sense given how the plane has never been found. The show focuses on three major theories, and all have massive holes in them. So not sure this really answers anyone\u2019s questions. I did make sure to watch this after we flew over the ocean for several hours.<\/p>\n
\nSuch a fun piece about a very fun band. They have a terrific sound. I especially love all the little tempo and key changes they throw, seamlessly, into so many of their songs.<\/p>\n
\nI casually check the watch site Hodinkee<\/a>, because I\u2019m an old man who has weird hobbies. This was an interesting, if uneven, look at the American watch industry. It felt like there was a lack of cohesiveness between the first two and second two episodes. But, as mentioned below, I\u2019ll watch anything filmed along the California coast. Oh, and those custom-made watches from LA? I bet they\u2019ll set you back a year\u2019s worth of college tuition. As much as I enjoy reading about watches, and aspire to have nice ones, I\u2019m always amazed by how much money some folks will spend on them.<\/p>\n
\nAnthony Bourdain really became \u201cAnthony Bourdain\u201d in this season.<\/p>\n
\nOn a discussion group I frequent someone recommended this show, describing it as not as good as Slough Horses<\/em>, which I have read but not watched, but much better than Jack Ryan<\/em>, which pissed me off it was so dumb.<\/p>\n
\nIt\u2019s been some time since I watched the No Laying Up crew\u2019s high end travel series. This was a good re-entry point: their trip through Scandinavia last summer. I had no idea there was so much cool golf in that part of the world.<\/p>\n
\nI had never heard of this show until I saw an article about season two\u2019s release. I scrambled over to HBO to watch season one before our current subscription expired. Some awesome footage of the efforts to ride the outrageous waves in Nazar\u00e9, Portugal, considered to be some of the biggest consistent waves in the world.<\/p>\n
\nI heard someone say they thought this was Ben Affleck\u2019s best film. I don\u2019t know about that, but it was a pretty good way to spend a Saturday evening.<\/p>\n
\nS has never watched Lasso<\/em>, so as season three spins out we decided to watch from the beginning to get her caught up. She\u2019s enjoying it so far. This rewatch confirmed to me that season one was truly magical. We are in the midst of season two, so that will land in my May list.<\/p>\n
\nShorts, YouTubes, etc<\/h3>\n
\nAlthough this is eight years old, it was still super interesting. I\u2019d love to see an updated version given how Russia has used PMCs in their war against Ukraine.<\/p>\n
\nThe final chapter of Beau Miles\u2019 12 Days of Newness was about the perfect Beau Miles experience.<\/p>\n
\nIf you set a video along the California coast it doesn\u2019t matter what the subject matter is, I will watch for the views alone.<\/p>\n
\nBottom line: we have some butt-ugly state flags in this country.<\/p>\n
\nFrench snowboarder Marion Haerty attempts to climb and snowboard a Himalayan peak with an all-woman support crew. The descent wasn\u2019t what she had hoped for, but the trip ended up being more than she could have imagined.<\/p>\n
\nApple LISA Computer – VIDEO DEMO<\/a>
\nApple Ad \u201cTwo kinds of people\u2026\u201d with Kevin Kostner<\/a>
\nI\u2019ve read about Apple\u2019s Lisa computer over the years, but the first video here was a good overview of what the platform was and why it failed. Interesting that it, in some ways, was a lot closer to \u201cmodern\u201d computing than the original Mac, which gets most of the credit. As bonuses links to Apple\u2019s official Lisa training video, and an ad for the Lisa, which featured Kevin Kostner. Why the fuck was he using the mouse with his left hand? I had a coworker once who did that, and when I had to train her on something it almost literally drove me to a murderous rage.<\/p>\n
\nFuddruckers was one of the greatest restaurants ever. I had no idea there were still a few scattered around.<\/p>\n
\nOne of Will Ferrell\u2019s top 10 SNL moments. The line he gives the dog that won\u2019t eat always kills me.<\/p>\n
\nThis woman is both a badass and, likely, crazy.<\/p>\n
\nSouth Armagh – \u201cBandit Country\u201d (1976)<\/a>
\nI\u2019ll admit it: sometimes I watch some weird shit.<\/p>\n
