\nI figured \u201cWhy not watch this again?\u201d the week of July 4th. Never disappoints.<\/p>\n
\nThis is Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman\u2019s fourth series about riding motorcycles long distances. I watched the first, 20 years ago, and then didn\u2019t realize the others existed. Luckily this one landed on Apple TV+ and the visuals are fabulous, although the actual travel insights are often rather banal.<\/p>\n
\nThis is the final season of this show, which made sense through the opening episodes. It seemed pretty similar to the first two seasons. But then they got into Jonas Vingegaard\u2019s physical and emotional rehab from a horrific accident in April of 2024 and got much more interesting. What if you were one of the very best to ever do your craft, but suddenly had a fear of part of the job. In Vingegaard\u2019s case, should he be pushing his body to the limits to took to compete, and was it reasonable to rocket down mountain roads at ridiculous speeds again?<\/p>\n
\nI wrote about this a couple times. Not the most interesting race this year, but still a July, morning tradition for me.<\/p>\n
\nWeird film. It came out in 2007, but was structured like a \u201890s movie yet felt like something made back in the \u201870s. Lots of long pauses where nothing happens attached to very cinematic visuals. And it keeps getting darker every minute. The whole pacing thing threw me, and then since every character is a terrible person I wasn\u2019t invested in any of them. I wonder if I would have liked this more if I saw it when it was first released. Marisa Tomei was very naked in two scenes, which I\u2019ll admit I did not mind.<\/p>\n
\nOne of the funniest yet also most uneven shows of the year. When it is good, it is laugh-until-you-cry good. When it doesn\u2019t hit, though, it can descend into meaningless silliness pretty quickly. Bryan Cranston is a national treasure.<\/p>\n
\nThis is one of those movies about middle aged people that will hit different viewers in different ways. I laughed a lot, as I found most of the scenes hilarious. S thought a lot of it was very cringey and uncomfortable. Another film that had some weird pacing issues, which given it was just over 90 minutes long, meant the story might have been a bit thin.<\/p>\n
\nYou generally can\u2019t go wrong when you make a movie that centers on Italian food. Like most Netflix projects, this shaves off little pieces of other movies (Maybe it was just me, but I felt a lot of Chevy Chase\u2019s nostalgia in Christmas Vacation<\/em> in Vince Vaughn\u2019s performance) and follows a familiar format. In this case it\u2019s a sweet story with a really good cast, so it worked. Enjoyable but not one that will necessarily stick with me very long.<\/p>\n
\nThis got decent buzz as a very good comedy. I did laugh some, but I would not categorize it as a comedy. Two Jewish cousins from New York travel to Poland to tour their grandmother\u2019s homeland. They both have issues but one of them has ISSUES. It gets awkward often. And, let\u2019s face it, exploring the remnants of the Holocaust will never not be deeply moving, which takes away from the funny bits.<\/p>\n
\nI watched this a few years back and found it to be too slow. I\u2019m now tracking a list of Best Movies On Every Streaming Service list on Vulture, and this was on June\u2019s entry. So I gave it another watch. Still slow. This time S watched with me. When it was over she said, \u201cThat was interesting\u2026\u201d I don\u2019t think she meant that she was entertained.<\/p>\n

\nNot the first time I\u2019ve seen a video along these lines. I will always watch them.<\/p>\n
\nA staggeringly long train.<\/p>\n
\nI watched this while I was reading a book about kayaking in the Pacific. This seems the easier of the two, although I\u2019m not sure I could do it.<\/p>\n

\nThese kids are podcasting about Japan now, so I guess their next series will be about that country?<\/p>\n
\nThe ESPYs may be our dumbest award show, but they did give us this legendary performance.<\/p>\n
\nI couldn\u2019t watch just one Norm clip.<\/p>\n
\nVery cool. Remember that our president is doing all he can to get rid of wonderful shows like this.<\/p>\n

\nGood, clean, Huckberry fun.<\/p>\n
\nThis is truly amazing. HOW THE HELL DID THEY BUILD THIS? TWICE?!?!<\/p>\n

\nNot sure I agree with all the conclusions but all us Curb\/Seinfeld fans have thought through some of these.<\/p>\n
