The relationship between August McCrae and Woodrow Call is truly amazing.

Northman would be on my bottom 5. I did enjoy the Vikings series to a degree and the Vikings Valhalla was somewhat accurate if you have read The History of England.
Clooney’s could have lasted all night, as far as I’m concerned. But I’m a little biased. His dad speaking made me teary, but many of the others were pretty funny. He seems to actually be a good guy. I’d never herd of Tania, so I needed that culture.
Every year I look forward to Dave Barry's year end column. The first half is out. I hesitate to put it here since it has politics in it, but he does poke fun in a very bipartisan way

Now on to the Last Picture Show trilogy. As much as I love the Lonesome Dove series of books, McMurtrys best IMO is LPS trilogy. My hottest take is the Duane’s Depressed is his best book.
Awesome. Was debating that or finishing up McCarthy's border trilogy. I read All the Pretty Horses a few years back and then never came back to the other two.
Looks like I might be doing both in 2023
Last picture show trilogy might even be better. Agree with Cortez. And the border trilogy. So good too. Good year of books
Been hitting the Highway Through Hell marathon the last few days. . Big boy toys on steroids.
I can recommend The Menu. Always been a fan of Ralph Fiennes and Anya Taylor Joy is....chef's kiss. Hamfisted story of course but the acting and setup are pretty neat. John Leguizamo is also really good.
I like those Fiennes too. My kid and I just watched an explorer documentary on Egypt with Joseph fiennes.

Oh my goodness, that was intense. Also have my Halloween costume for next year. Going as a s’more.
And a great ode to pretentious foodies. Loved the cheeseburger.
My daughter and I went to see maverick. Not really a fan of going to the theatre anymore. Not sure why.
That’s a great one to see at the theater. I still love going to movies. Also Wildcat on Amazon Prime is a good one. About a vet who lives in the wild and helps rescue ocelots and release them.
Sounds good. We are going to start either Willow or national treasure this weekend
Wildcat might be too intense for a 12 year old. Lots of language and guy has all kinds of issues, cutting, etc.
Got it. We watched Dog the other night with Channing whatever. Not what I was expecting
A Facebook buddy that says it is his favorite novel absolutely loved it.
I finally started Yellowstone. I can see people in all kinds of horrible situations but can’t stand to see animals. The whole series starts with the horse being shot, so gave up. Trying again.
REWATCH ALERT: I'm rewatching the Popes. Just started the Young Pope tonight. I will stick through both series, to see if they are as good as I thought the first time.
Snap judgment of first serious: These guys planned more than I imagined; I saw a lot of references to things I didn't know about the first time I watched it.

I enjoyed it, but...heavy with cliche and overwrought. But it had its moments. When Fiennes cooks that cheeseburger, the joy on his face would melt the heart of any line cook.
I think (anyway) the underlying issue with Chef is some kind of unresolved sexual dysfunction.
Mother issues
Tried and failed to sleep with a coworker/direct report
Infatuated with Taylor-Joy's prostitute character
The tension between her character and Chef is palpable. She has power over him and knows it. Good actors doing their best with a so so script.
