Finally caught up on Shogun. It appears to be ending strongly. Last week was especially good.
Movies, books, tv

I’ve just started. 3 episodes in. I loved the book, but read it so long ago I don’t remember anything at all.
And that ending...I dunno, man. Lots of good press, but I was underwhelmed. I felt like they were trying to set themselves up to sell a second season more than they were trying to properly end the first one. And the flash forward stuff was too clever by half.
I thought the flash forward stuff signaled no sequel. But that part was pretty useless. I liked the last few scenes.
Toranaga is a very ambiguous character.
I watched it the other night and it was absolutely bonkers. The wedding scene was insane.
The only thing I knew about the shoe going in other than it being about civilization 200+ years after a nuclear war and people coming out of shelters for the first time. Figured it would be similar to Silo. Boy, was I wrong. Love Walton Goggins, and he seems like a natural fit for his role (though I'm only shortly into episode 2 so I'm still not entirely sure what he is).
I’m almost done with the season and I think every episode is interesting. Really well done.
Keep watching. It’s a fun show and Goggins does not disappoint.
Lawrence of Arabia leaves free YouTube at the end of the month, if anyone wants to get a watch in. I'm doing it tonight.
Finished it tonight. It's now my favorite ongoing series. Makes me wish I'd played the game.
Watching Slow Horses on Apple now. It’s been great so far (early in season 2). Gary Oldman is one of my favorite character actors and he is brilliant in the show.
That film is incredibly underrated.Everything Oldman does is first rate.
Even this character was great.
What?!!!!! I didn’t even know it was out! Super excited!
My minion just got picked up. My daughter went to her room to work on a school project. I just cracked a beer and am all alone on the couch sooooooooo excited for a full night of clarkson’s Farm 3
@Noodle
So I have a question already. My memory is powerful for some things and worthless for others. Does Jeremy disclose the actual financial numbers at all? Further is this a challenge- to run a farm profitably without his own additional resources? I’m lost as to why he can’t keep the cows. How much could that cost….
The object is to show what normal farmers have to deal with, dipping into his deep pockets does that. In the prior years he did disclose the profit.
speaking of deep pockets this show is the real deal. real farming obviously. but damn it is as idyllic as it gets. like it's i'm a rich guy and i want a farm that ralph lauren would be envious of replete with two fox red labs, a green range rover, canada goose down, stone farmhouse, lambo tractor....
gov soaks the fun right out of this venture
Thought I'd posted this already, but I guess not.
Did the first 2 episodes of Fallout last night. Thoroughly enjoyed them and can't believe it's based on a video game and not on a book.

The Ghoul is a great character. Not at all familiar with the game but the series is worth your time.
Goggins is kind of like Oldman to a lesser degree. Plays some great characters. The Ghoul is absolutely my favorite character so far.
Loved the Venus van Damme character in Sons of Anarchy. Total riot with the interactions with Tig.
Oh my god I’m glad I didn’t watch this with my daughter. Mercy.
I took the hint. Thank you. My daughter went for a walk with her friends. I would never be able to do that. His poor wife/gf.
Much respect for farmers. My god it’s hard. Mentally, emotionally, organizationally. Everything
Just finished Fallout and I’m in love with that actress that plays Lucy. Big Zoey Deschanel eyes. Such a cutie pie.
Really entertaining series. Never played the game but I was a little bummed by the payoff. The reason for the end of the world is drumroll please…………
Corporate Greed!

Just watched The Holdovers on my flight yesterday. Liked it, although it’s kinda formulaic (it’s a formula I like).
I’d never heard the song in the closing credits. It’s great:

It wasn’t the best movie of the year but I think it was one of the most enjoyable. I’m a sucker for that formula too. Dead Poet Society is a favorite. Love setting of boarding schools in both books and movies.
