I just mean make it interesting and entertaining. I like Burr in the show but don’t listen to Kanye so not saying you’re wrong.

 

I had a similar problem with Elder Cunningham when I saw The Book of Mormon on the West End.  Like dude, you're not Josh Gad.

It's hilarious! Well maybe not if you're a Mormon.

I'm watching it, but I'm not sure I like Cursed.  It's a good enough diversion from my main current binge, which is my first watch of The West Wing.

Finished this on Saturday.  It was entertaining and I'm looking forward to the next two parts.   I kind of like how they had a bit more of the falling out between Optimus and Megatron.   I also liked that a few of the transformers weren't autobots from the get go and had to come around a bit before helping out.

I always appreciate when motivations are more complicated than he's good and they're evil just because. Also loved the guardians and am looking forward to the next segments.

I'm trying to limit how much CBS gets from me, so Lower Decks will have to wait a bit.  I think I've only had to actually pay for 2 months and I've watched all Discovery and Picard as they were released.

 

I am going through For All Mankind.  It's an interesting premise, but still feels like a B-show despite the production polish.  It's in a similar vein to The Man in the High Castle, but I enjoyed High Castle a lot more because it had more engaging characters.  I think they'd have done better using von Braun more, the guy playing him did great.

Had no idea they were remaking that.  Looks like they've cut out all the test pilot aspects and are solely focusing on Mercury.  That's disappointing, I know the original was long so it makes sense to cut it down some, but Yeager is the best part of the book/movie. 

 

I'll certainly watch.  But I really don't think it was a movie in need of a remake.  Original still holds up quite well.  

 

Book is fantastic for anyone looking for something read.  Mandatory reading if you're at all interested in planes or rockets or space travel.

 

Light this candle.

Did not enjoy Avenue 5.  I know it's gonna be hard for him to top The Thick of It, but still I hoped for better than this.

It may be guilty pleasure quality, don't know yet, still early on - but I'm surprised at how much I'm enjoying Cobra Kai.

Heard it was surprisingly good. Smart move for Netflix to pick it up. I’ll probably check it out.

Unsure if this would be TV or movies, but I watched the 4-part Challenger documentary on Netflix and thought it was really well-made. A lot of insightful interviews from family members and people involved in the decision to launch despite the weather.

I can't bring myself to that one, but most other shows on TLC I end up checking out, out of sheer curiosity, then I end up sucked in. If I see Dr. Pimple Popper is on, my wife knows I'm not changing the channel until I see what "comes out".

Decided to rewatch Pitch and enjoyed it just as much the second time. They really used a good variety of baseball angles for the episodes, exploring things like the trade deadline. Also they get lots of real broadcast/media people involved to make it feel more realistic. Definitely would recommend if you didn't watch it when it was on the air, perfect mix of baseball and drama.
