I started watching Season 4 of The Crown.

Gillian Anderson is indeed amazing as Maggie, like all the critics are saying.  I think reviews have been mixed regarding the actress playing Dianer, but she seems good to me so far.

I think the actress playing Diana is really good - she absolutely nails it in my opinion.

I find Thatcher a bit over exaggerated myself, like a parody of Thatcher.

WB announced that in 2021 all their movies will launch in theaters and on HBO Max at the same time.
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.

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.

The 'Operation Odessa' documentary film on Netflix is worth a viewing.

The Reagans is a doc worth watching. As someone who had his foramative years in the 80s, I'm realizing now that Reagan is probably the reason I tend to swing a bit to the left.

Growing up in the 80s (maybe not Reagan specifically) is almost certainly part of the reason I swing right.

But surely you want to know about my golf swing? :huh:

Incidentally... does anyone think it's odd that I shoot hockey left, but swing right in golf?  My son (who is right handed, as am I) both shoots left and swings left, which to me feels odd...

There's a two episode mini Euphoria season (first episode streaming now on HBO). Just a heads-up, and if you haven't seen Euphoria yet it's an excellent series and I recommend it.

So on the weekend Mrs B rented out a movie theatre for a couple hours.  It cost $125 and we had our family and 3 other families, which allowed tons of social distancing inside the big theatre.  We watched a private screening of Elf (not my favourite Christmas movie, but the kids liked it).

It was definitely fun to be able to go out to see a movie, but man they must be hurting if that's what they're resorting to.
