    The Blood and Guts American Gladiators show was entertaining. Nothing shocking, roids roids roids but it was a fun watch.
    It was enjoyable. I did think it was going to be a lot darker from the promo. But no big deal, it was a fun quick watch.

    The Out-Laws 6/10

    Sandler produced it so it's got the storytelling / eccentric characters / fart humor vibe to it. Just go with that expectation and you'll be fine.

    Decent LOLs, popcorn movie.

    Dk why they cast that got Pierce Bronson to play tough guy hetero roles, but he didn't ruin it.

    So I just finished S3 of the Witcher and holy , I understand why Cavill decided to leave that show.


    - Terrible drunk writing.
    - Too much crying.
    - Too much singing, I had to fast forward multiple times.
    - Of course gay couples

    - Visually it was way below previous seasons. For example when Ciri was riding a horse (the ghost chase scene),WTF was that? The background looked so cheap.

    The only highlight was MyAnna Buring’s performance (Tissaia).
    Fantastic actress

    i thought it had some promise. think the episode with the big banquet and the next one with the big battles were strong, and even the couple leading up to those episodes were fine. but

    - my god, an entire episode of ciri in the desert. why?
    - no development with the wild hunt (the ghosts chasing). they just appeared and never mentioned again
    - all of them constantly splitting up. yennefer leaving to help the mages, geralt telling ciri to go by herself, etc etc
    - scary fire mage guy who has been built up for over a season unceremoniously one shotted with a gimmick. not to mention the end of episode fakeout about who was healing his hands. very cheap stuff

    by far the biggest problem with the witcher is that the world-building is ass. game of thrones, otoh, meticulously set up their world. by watching the show, you learn each of the big cities/kingdoms, you get a rough idea of the geography, each faction's motivations, at udes, how long it takes to get from one to the other. in the witcher, i have no clue where anything is. so theres nilfgard, and then is everybody else just "the north?" i have no clue. they name drop so many different cities, but i have no clue where any of them are in relation to each other, or what significance they have. its just a dull world

    budget? i would guess that was a really cheap episode to film.

    Heart of Stone 8/10

    I'm not really a fan of Gal Gadot's acting but I thought this movie was fun from start to finish. This has more of the feel of a series but I'm glad they squeezed it into a couple of hours. Disappointed there wasn't more Glenn Close tho.

    It's one of the best. I don't care about F1 but I have watched it multiple times.

    It's on Prime but I'd thought I'd put Remington Steele on for some background but damn, it holds up very well and I've watched the first couple of seasons.

    Pierce Brosnan is on top of his game here. 8.5/10

    wtf. It says “unavailable”. This is a doc, I’ve kept putting off because I’m not a big F1 fan. But now that I’m about to try and watch it, I can’t.

    What is this streaming on?

    LOL. If that has happened once, it's happened a 100 times. Never get your hopes up on any choice until it's actually started up and it's the right one.

    I tried to go through a VPN but couldn't connect to anywhere outside the US.

    I ended up watching it on watchdo entaries.com. But I guess it was an uncut version. Run time was 2:45 or so whereas it's listed at 1:45. I had to double check to make sure I was watching the right one.
    Also, whatever company did the sub les for this was pretty terrible. I'm pretty sure this wasn't the version in wide release.

    Anyway, it's a great do entary. I'm sure the polished version would have been more enjoyable.

    Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones - 9/10

    So I learned that people in Costa Rica live longer than us and apparently have a more efficient health care system

    Not sure if I'm buying all that, but we do poison ourselves with the things we eat here and it was a very interesting short series overall.

    I wouldn't hit a dog in the ass with Sandler, but finding Bronson is front of a camera is always a treat. I won't watch it, but seeing him defy age is the tear rising thrill. Women can't defy it, but men can and that is at least 1 victory wherever man dwells.

    Great docu for sure! I thoroughly enjoyed it and I'm not even really into F1 racing.

    Swamp Kings: 5/10

    Too much of an Urban Meyer fluff piece, and they left out all of the Aaron Hernandez stuff. But it was cool to re-live the Tebow era and the highlights of the games.

    (They)/MEDIA wanted so very badly to wreck Tebow's . Thank Christ, White man from town kept his dignity. It's been his finest hour.

    So…can’t believe I’m saying it, but I just finished watching One Piece and I actually liked it. I don’t know anything about manga so I probably couldn’t appreciate it like others, but it was good fun.

    It was refreshingly non-preachy or woke, which allowed me to let down my guard of pretense and criticism and just enjoy the campiness and wild fantasy pirate world they constructed. Eventually, I felt just like a 10-12 year old kid getting lost in the story and enjoying the ride.

    Give it a shot, I think you might be surprised
