Shades of Deivi Cruz

I haven't seen Yellowjackets or Cobra Kai, but that is a damn fine list.

Netflix: Dead To Me (haven't watched the latest season yet, but enjoyed the previous two.) I think You Should Leave ("sketch" comedy and it's not for everyone. Very short episodes.) The Mole (recent reboot of the reality series) Hulu: Reservation Dogs is supposed to be good. Haven't watched it myself yet. The Old Man (Jeff Daniels is great in this.) What We Do In The Shadows Prime: Marvelous Mrs Maisel Reacher Jack Ryan Upload The Boys Invincible (animated and very violent, but excellent)

A couple quick examples. 1. I noticed that every NFL playoff game had hit the over, so naturally I took the over for Cowboys/Bucs at 45.5. Final score 31-14 with four missed PATs and a missed 2pt conversion. 2. Joe Burrow to throw for over 225 yards and win. A slam dunk, right? No. 209 yards 3. Josh Allen to complete 25+ passes and win. Nope. 23. The only thing I've "won" was a free $5 NBA bet. I haven't watched an NBA game in over 20 years, but I took the Celtics (for no reason in particular) and won. LOL!

I am thankful for the Fanduel "seed" money I received when Ohio went live on January 1. It has allowed me to realize (unsurprisingly) that I am a terrible sports gambler without actually losing any of my own money. The "free bets" expire at the end of January, which will mark the end of my sports betting career as well.

We seem to collect kitchen gadgets, but they all get used fairly regularly. Crockpot, air fryer, quesadilla maker, panini press, waffle maker... The only one we don't use is the instant pot, which is still new in the box 3+ years later.

How dare you besmirch waffle makers! Now china on the other hand...

So many open threads with that. As you said, it isn't completely clear what she did or didn't do. Also, you assume Ethan messes around with the friend's wife in retaliation, but again you don't know for sure. I agree that Ethan's character is not very sympathetic, but I thought the idea of him not being able to shake the images of what he thought his wife did was well done. I was a little disappointed in how predictable the storyline with the hookers was. Since Lucia had told Mia that she was going to scam Albie out of a bunch of money, I was hoping for a curveball somewhere in there. It turned out though that's exactly what she did. Tanya's (and Portia's) storyline was probably more convoluted than it needed to be, but it was still engaging. I mean, if the idea was to kill Tanya for Greg, it seems like there was ample opportunity to do that without having to entertain her for three days (or whatever it was) with parties, operas, etc. You could tell there was something off with that group from the start, and it just got more and more foreboding as it went on, which I thought was great even if it was overly elaborate.

I finally finished season two of White Lotus. The hotel staff were not nearly as interesting as they were in season one, but I enjoyed the guests a lot more this season. Aubrey Plaza is just great, as usual. I think I enjoyed that storyline the most.

What?!?!?! If we can't post ignorant opinions on the internet, then what are we even doing here...

I watched Bullet Train on Netflix while on a flight. A ridiculous movie and plot in every way, but also a lot of fun. If you want a mindless action movie that doesn't take itself seriously, it will do nicely.

Jack White is amazing. Don't miss on the Raconteurs and Dead Weather.

Writing Golddigger and then still ending up having to pay $200,000 a month in alimony will do that to you.

The paramedic in that trailer is the "disgruntled employee" from those Twitter videos. I'm not sure what it says about me that I recognized him instantly.

My nickname from my older brother is Neil because of this show. I don't look or talk like him at all, but he was our favorite character. My brother still calls me Neil almost exclusively.

It's all those comedy skits you've been streaming.

Not sure. I tried to look it up, but didn't see anything. It does say season 3 is expected to be shot in LA though.

"I Think You Should Leave" is utterly brilliant. Sure there are a few misses, but the hits are amazing and quite frequent. It's on Netflix, for those unfamiliar.

Same. No idea who I would prefer to run in his place either.

Agreed, though I do really like Mandalorian.

I started Yellowstone last night, and I agree with you. I'll give it some time, but the first episode definitely dragged. I had been wanting to watch it, but don't subscribe to Paramount+ and the first season is only on Peacock. I noticed though that DirecTV has a Paramount channel. I setup a recording for all episodes and waited. Finally last weekend they had a marathon of all of the previous seasons, so I got them all. Now I have 38 more episodes to watch. LOL! I'll watch a couple more this week, and if it doesn't grab me by then, I'll just delete them.

This is the unfortunate truth. It seems to be just behind Texas and Florida.
