Hey, Jamie

Jamie
Yes, Cersi?

Cersi
I’ve got something to say

Jamie
Uh huh?

Cersi
I really love the…skillfulness
You beat the other knights
To my warm caress

Jamie
Oh…oh, Cersi

Cersi
The old king was mad said “Obey Me!”

Chorus

Cersi
But you took command and said “Slay me!”

Chorus

Cersi
A Kingslayer now, and you’re “Blame Me.”

Chorus
Jamie

Cersi
I’ve one thing to say, and that’s
Dammit, Jamie, I love you

Let me just say that that pose would not be comfortable in a more book-accurate version of the Iron Throne.

Frankenfurter and “comfortable” never did go together.

So I re-watched The Paper Chase after a few decades, and I maintain Lindsay Wagner should have walked away and left Timothy Bottoms to rot. Sustenance my ass.

Oh yeah, I remember this movie

Then how did it make $143 million?

Some people—especially overseas, where it made most of its money—really liked it! Although some people also just bought tickets to watch the trailer for The Phantom Menace , which was playing before the movie, then immediately got up and left.

Finally got around to watching Sorry to Bother You… Got to say, I loved it. Boots Reilly has a great surrealist vision.

Has anyone seen the OA?

My wife and I just binged both seasons. It’s an incredible, weird, messy, show. I highly recommend it.

We’ve talked in circles around it because @ChickieD hasn’t finished it yet, but I and a few others were… disappointed with it.

The first season was okay-ish with lots of potential; the second season was an insult to anyone who gave it half a chance, hoping it would improve.

I don’t mind ‘weird,’ but that narrative made no sense whatsoever, and the end of season 2 was deeply unsatisfying; to the point that I don’t give a damn what happens in S3 or if there even is one.

Black As:

If any of y’all have seen Bush Mechanics, this will remind you of that. The town it begins in (Ramingining) is where my brother works as a high school teacher.

we watched Wes Anderson’s “Isle of Dogs” last night, and i really liked it. his sense of style and humor just always works for me.

We’re up to the last 3 episodes of the second season. It’s weird and I’ve enjoyed it.

I’m about 3 episodes into the new season. I’m not too crazy about the phone game introduction as it seems totally pandering to this “the youth really like their phones” idea, but I do like the reset of the characters from the first season into new versions. Clever.

Watching the latest iteration of The Twilight Zone with Jordan Peele…

I love Kumail Nanjiani, but I felt the first episode felt too awkward for me. I watched the whole thing, but still wasn’t feeling it. As for episode two, starring Adam Scott, was a complete overhaul of the classic episode of William Shatner and the airplane gremlin (completely different plot - no spoilers here). Better, and one can see that Peele is drawing in great actors from both big and little screens, but I’m still feeling kind of…meh.

Episode three…

Boy oh boy, this is what I’m talking about. An in-your-face episode starring Sanaa Lathan (I’m biased. :heartpulse::heartpulse::heartpulse: ever since Love & Basketball) that deals with simultaneously current, yet long-lived matters of racism. I loved this episode like I love vanilla cake.
Another view similar to Get Out, and very well done.

I did enjoy ‘Replay’ much more than the other two eps.
