You don't want to move up in the standings. All that happens is Mark gets pissed at you and Ranger starts to think you're a double agent.

Book - The Splendid and the Vile, Erik Larson. Highly recommend. In depth about Churchill the German air war.
Devil in the White City is the only other Larson book I’ve read. It was great. Splendid and the Vile is very good. He does an excellent job using diaries, letters, and verified source material for accuracy but keeps it moving and interesting. Churchill was a fascinating guy, absolutely unique.
They're pulling out all the stops - at noon on a Sunday, and it's 15 minutes long.2020 definitely needs this movie...
Yes, it's real.
It's obviously a 15 minute KFC commercial. Clever. I like their marketing, if not their food so much. When they had all the different actors playing Sanders in commercials (Jim Gaffigan, Sean Astin, Jason Alexander, etc), I thought it was a great idea. The one with Astin with a Rudy-like plot was fun.
Patton Oswalt does a great bit on the KFC Famous Bowl, which he refers to as a "failure pile in a sadness bowl", and later, another bit on the sandwich that substituted chicken breasts for slices of bread.

New to me too, but I took it to mean theatrical. Too stagey meaning taking liberties in setting the stage.
Very sorry for the double post on this topic. My attention span is in negative numbers.
Whoever wrote "Prom" now showing on Netflix really, really hates Indiana. It stars James Corden, Meryl Strepp, Kerry Washington and Nicole Kidman. The premise is a group of broadway stars become disturbed when they learn that a small town school in Indiana is going to cancel prom if they allow a gay girl to bring her girlfriend to the prom they then come to her aid. I don't really care for musicals but given how close it hits home I am rather enjoying it. Libtards will probably enjoy it conservatives not so much.
Article in today's paper on it said it was directly inspired by RFRA and Mike Pence.
I picked that up after watching it for a few minutes. After I posted I guess the author was Ryan Murphy who wrote Glee, Nip/Tuck, Ratched and American Horror story. He's from Indy and an IU grad. There's quit a lot of pent up anger that is evident in the show.

Well it sounds like a light, lovely, agenda free show from everything I’m hearing.

I generally hate books written by self important politicians, of which Crenshaw is definitely one. I also hate self help books, which this book definitely is in some respects. There is a lot “cancel culture sucks and micro aggressions are dumb” typical GOP clap trap, but Crenshaw does have a good story and there are some lessons to be learned.
Highly recommended for some of the more hysterical leftists on this board.

We watched an older Christmas movie called The Bishop's Wife. It is kind of similar to It's a Wonderful Life in plot, but my wife hated Wonderful Life and loved this one. I find both very good. So if you are looking for a Christmas movie, try Cary Grant in The Bishop's Wife.
Has anyone seen the series Watchmen? Apologize if it’s been discussed on this thread before. After it won so many Emmys decided I needed to watch it. I know nothing about the comic, but I enjoyed it. Pretty strange, but well done.
Ya. It’s really good. I watched it when it first came out, so I was in “can’t wait till’ next week” mode.
I recommend “The Outsider” on HBO and “Black Monday” and “The Good Lord Bird” on Showtime.

After today, I think we all should watch Seven Days In May.
After 50+ years, it still remains valid to show how creeping, incremental abuse of democracy threatens to become absolute end of democracy.
Eh. No Tiger, no Elin, in fact outside of Stevie Williams, very few people who were ever in his inner circle. All we got were High School girlfriends and bottle service girls from Vegas. Plus the guys career isn't even over yet, it'd be like making a documentary about Tom Brady.
Couldn't shake the feeling that it was just a cash grab trying to capitalize on the success of the "The Last Dance".
Not to mention Bryant Gumbel appearing on screen every 10 minutes to let us all know that we're racists' was a bit exhausting.
I had no idea about bottle service girls until I watched that documentary. I found little uplifting about Tiger's life but still his fan boys continue to idolize him.
Of course Tiger and Elin aren’t going to take part. Long term family friends, high school girlfriends help explain what happened to him, players who played with him, and hearing from the women he was involved with seems pretty close to me.
Maybe they could get Tiger. MJ was immensely private about his personal life as well, but age can make people do some funny things. We'll never know because like I said, they jumped the gun.
A lot thought that "The Last Dance" was just a Jordan fluff piece. A Tiger doc with a Tiger interview would likely be in a similar vein.
But I'd like to watch a documentary about the greatest golfer of all time and his golf career. The salacious details of his personal life I suppose are appealing to women, but they can always pick up a magazine in the check out line at the super market.
