I am a Dana Delaney fan. Love her in “ Body of Proof”. Found her in another mini series called “ Hand of God” which she co-stars with Ron Perlman. So currently watching “ Hand of God” and I must say this is a very stark contrast to her “ Body of Proof” character. Very adult language and innuendos. Love her outfits and upscale appearance in both series, but I just cant get past this new character. So far, a pretty good watch, although rather melancholy in plot.

Looking her up, I said, "Oh yes," recognizing her. Then, browsing pictures, I realized, "Hey, that's the lady in 'Tombstone'!"
Fun Disney-related fact: I saw that movie in what is now the AMC theaters at Disney Springs, when it was a brand-new movie in late 1993.
I also saw "Aladdin" when it was new, one year prior, in those same theaters.
I also saw "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" there in December of 2023!

I had to go look at pictures of both and I don't think I ever would have got that. Lots of pics of him working out...I don't think I'm going to look like that when I'm 70.

I've been watching a LOOOOOT of TV/Movies lately, I'd say about 75% were not worth the time at all.
We found a few things we liked
The Outlaws series on Amazon Prime - really good British ensemble series, Second season was odd, but overall enjoyable.
Traitor - old spy/thriller movie with Don Cheadle, well old like 2008. I've watched any and all spy/thriller movies and series I could find on streaming, and most are pretty disappointing, but this one was good.
I found the funniest thing yesterday. I don't watch stand up comedy much anymore , used to , way back in the day, like the Eddie Murphy Raw/Delirious on HBO, but I watched Leann Morgan's Netflix special, I"m Every Woman. Omg that is HILARIOUS!!! I posted about it on FB, and everyone around here already knew about her. SHe's from Tennessee, and very popular here. Had no idea!
The Acolyte-I don't know what all to make of this. It plays like a young adult novel/video game. I didn't like the first episode much at all. 2nd and 3rd were better. The acting/dialogue of the main characters, the twins, are terrible, but if I put that out of my mind, I am finding the rest of the story, the other Jedi, to be very intriguing. I wish it had just been animated. Those are so much better than a lot of the live action lately.
I can't keep straight or remember what I've watched, so I have to go back and check my viewing history and see if anything else stands out.

We completely loved this, despite (or maybe because of?) the twistiness of the second season. Christopher Walken. No more need be said. We're now watching season three of "Sweet Tooth" on Netflix. Very interesting premise, and likeable characters. Cheers. |

Just found this on NetFlix :
Available. Now
Mysteries of Terra Cotta Warriors
Hopefully we remember when Epcot actually had the Tombstone Warriors on display in China … I still wish they were on display every visit.

We just watched that and it was excellent. Well worth watching.The Terracotta Warriors and Horses at Epcot were a replica of the real ones in Xi'an, but we have seen the originals there and there were very well done.
Cheers.

We have enjoyed "Ghosts" both the British and American versions as light hearted comedy at 30 minutes a pop.
We just started watchin "Elsbeth". We love the Columbo style of the quirky main character.
It's kind of a predictable formula but still fun. Maybe that's part of the appeal : I don't have to wrap my brain around complexity during my wind down time after a busy day at work.

Still trying to get into the “ Outlaws” on Amazon Prime….just started season 1.
The Olympics will now interrupt my TV viewing. I am a big track and field fan so hoping we have another “ Usain Bolt” type of performances.

Max--Steven Van Zandt documentary; a few Larry Sanders episodes We don't have Max, but it would be great to see the Little Steven documentary. I only know him as a musician (never watched "The Sopranos"), so it would be interesting to see more about him.
Cheers.

We tried watching Acolyte recently. I could not get past the first episode; I've seen fan fics with better acting for Star Wars. Comment about it being better animated strikes me a 100% right.
Now we are trying Andor. That's better; I watched the first episode and am curious to see what happens next.
