I don't know if this is an early April Fool's or what. Honestly, without Goldman's writing I doubt a sequel will be nearly as good. Below is supposed to be a link to Princess Bride 2 done by Netflix. Since I do not see major announcements, I am skeptical.

Ok, it was fake. Good, I cannot help but think no one could write that.

I hate reality shows. But I just saw a commercial for The Baldwins, reality show about Alec Baldwin's family.

WOW
 
Watched A Complete Unknown. I know these biopics are made for star showcase, but I thought Timmy was really good. Enjoyable watch.

I know you guys don’t watch White Lotus, except maybe Murt, but what about 1923 with Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford? Just had the series finale. Also the Pitt is very good.

I love The Pitt but is it ever intense. Jack Bauer would crack under the pressure.

We just finished all 4 seasons of Slow Horses. It is an incredibly clever idea.

Let me know if the book club reads those books.

How is the club? Once the market gets back about half it lost, I am retiring. So, 4 years or so ;). Once that happens, reading time should be more plentiful.
We're still plugging along. Just went through reading a series of shorter novels that were all really good.

Looking for the next white whale to tackle, though.

Brad Stevens ( you? ) wrote a book? Figures.
 
I don’t like either one of them at this point. I still can’t figure out what Shep was doing this season. No self respect whatsoever.
That’s probably a better take than mine in fairness. He lies nonstop.

Shep was obsessed and knows the clock is ticking

How is it possible a show about an ER can be so damn WOKE. Black woman is treated like a junkie but is actually having a reaction to sickle cell women POC needs to educate the ignorant white doctor, evil mother comes in at the last second to stop her daughter from taking mifepristone, white incel escapes and is on the loose, white privilege college kids stealing ambulances and making all sorts of problems for the hard working staff.

Bad, White, Racist, Sexist, Ignorant Males who need to be Checked by Thoughtful, Vigilant, Wise, Heroic, Women, POC and, above all, Women POC

Absolutely nauseating.

Yep, it is true Whites never ever cause problems. You are being guilty of what the other side is accused of, looking for something to complain about.
 
The doctor fixes an accidental misgendering on the patients chart and I hear later in the season we have the crème de la crème…..COVID!!!!

They’re really laying it on thick.
I've called 911...please give me your address so the police can come and arrest the guy who has a gun to your head making you watch the show. I'll make sure they send a white, male cop.
You're welcome.
 
The show is undeniably woke. If you don’t notice it, it’s probably because you’re woke
The two best doctors are White men (Robbie and Abbott). The character hardest to like is a woman. Robbie was made out to be right in not wanting the kid with the kill list reported. It is a woman with the restraining order and ankle bracelet. It was the wife who was the anti-vaxx zealot, the husband listened to reason. You are looking for things to be mad about

“Anti-vaxx zealot” you’re wine alright. Woke as hell.

Bingo
 
Started rewatching The Last of Us since it started back up last night. I forgot how good it was.

Also need to catch the latest episode of Mobland. Super good for anyone that likes mobster type dramas.

I loved that show. Can’t decide if I want to watch it week to week or wait until they are all out.
 
So I did it. After many years of purposeful avoidance I watched the first few episodes of The West Wing. I was jaded going in no doubt as the little I saw of the abortion on screen commonly referred to as The Newsroom was needless to say unwatchable.

Final verdict: Absolutely terrible, won’t be going any further. Complete snooze fest. Sorkin could have just filmed seven seasons of him pleasuring himself on camera and it would have the same effect on the viewer. Unlike the The Wire, it is dated and doesn’t hold up.

Sorkin really needs to stick to film, his television projects are dogshit.
 
I kept waiting to see how Joel was going to escape. But nope. I didn’t play the video game so I wasn’t aware that character dies. Big swing, very Game of Thrones like.

I worry about how the series will hold up without Pascal. He carried the show imo and I find Bella Ramsey’s character grating. She’s about to go scorched earth though.

Yep 100% my experience. My son played the game but didn't tell me what was going to happen. Still shocked by it. Pascal was the main reason I watched (although I loved the scenery of Jackson). Not sure I really care about a brutal revenge story set in an apocalyptic time. Saw that for years on the Walking Dead.
