Started watched Titans. It's fun, better than I expected actually.

I used to read New Titans comics when I was a kid, so it's a bit of a nostalgia trip - never cared much for the cartoons.

I saw the first episode of the new SyFi channel show "Deadly Class", based on a similar comic book series. It seems a very dark story line, focusing on killing, but I'll watch another episode or two before deciding whether I want to continue.

"Project Blue Book" TV show started, and I'm liking that. Based ont the US Air Force project book written by Dr Hynek. Story focuses on Dr Hynek's investigations as he assists the Air Force. Air Force brass is mostly looking to dispel any UFO stories, but it showed the Air Force likely hiding something.

"Roswell New Mexico" also just started, based on the 1947 events and a fictional aftermath. Just saw the first episode so far, and it's like a story centered around a few humans with certain powers and abilities.

Anyone watch My Brilliant Friend on HBO? An Italian series, a coming of age of two girls in a village outside Napoli in the 50s. Quite good.

Rewatched All The Money in the World last night, about the Getty kidnapping.  Improved on the second viewing.

isn't that a remake of a 90s show?
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

What's the Languish take on Roma? Everyone raves about it...but I don't know, doesn't seem exciting.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Of course it has to be Matthew McConaughey.  :lol:

I'd hope at first this was a joke. -_-

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Trailer made it look like 90 minutes of McConaughey being stoned, which can get old pretty quick.  :lol:

No one has anything to say about Roma?

I hear the Coliseum is nice.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
