"OTA"...!!!
Watching the Byu vs Smu game. Mad Max later, I found the mad max 4 movie set in the dvd discount bin at walleys.
We stream everything we watch.
Right now it is Black List (or is it Blacklist ?) There are some real connections to what is going on on that show to things that are going on here and now. Interesting.
Watching 'Casablanca' on the classic channel.

Finished Big Bang Theory.
Months ago I saw a few episodes of a new show on the Fx channel, "The Old Man'. Very good show, Jeff Bridges, John Lithgow. It's modern events are rooted in the 80's Afgan war. A child of an important chieftain, stolen by her mother, escaped to the US with the help of cia spooks. One a killer (bridges) in love with the mother.
Fast forward, kid grew up to be a fbi agent. Abducted by her real father.... blah, blah... now back in afganistan to be rescued... blah, blah.
The show is written very well, excellent camera work. Bridges as 'the old man' is excellent casting. Lithgow was the other spook, now fbi chief and boss of the daughter.
Season 2 started tonight...
By the way, there is a lithium mine in afgan the US wants to clandestinely control in the middle of this mess. Along with their secret taliban friends. Guess which Chieftain controls the land and the mine...

Somehow I’m reminded of a film called “The Whistleblower”

It was good back in the day. Today? Watching again… it’s still good, maybe better looking back on the past as the good old days.

found an interesting show on Netflix, Outlast, it's some survival reality show in Alaska. I would not want to do that one. If I was younger I would rather do the original Survivor show. At least they had some rice most of the time. Don't think I could eat all that nasty shellfish, even if I was starving.
But it was fun to watch

The wife and I...our usual plan...an action packed violent movie for me...followed by a touching romance for her.
I like Jason Statham movies, and my wife generally agrees, so I picked "Parker." Not his best. But not bad. There are better Statham movies, but this one is not bad. Plus, it has Jennifer Lopez. She's on my list...just like my wife has her list, if you know what I mean.
Finished the night with a total Hallmark movie: The Magic of Lemon Drops. Goofy premise, but honestly, I thought it was great. Probably losing my man card...but I'm old enough to not worry about what other people think, and that is awesome.
Great movie...I recommend it, because apparently I'm a total softie.

Had a bar like that back in college...whenever you walked in, people would know you. It was awesome. Those were the days.
I went into that bar once and had a drink, just to be able to say I did it.

I saw Parker recently, agree, not his best. Funny, sometimes I'll play a few songs on my guitar during a so-so move. It drowned out some of the dialog, leaving the action in this case. Jello's not a bad looker, better without her speaking. 🤣
Watched some college football tonight. Watching boxing now along with a gold mining, mine rescue show.
“Dark Legacy” a documentary about the Kennedy assassination. I found myself making comparisons to current events.
This weekend is a "Forged in Fire" marathon
Dateline. I love trying to figure out who the real suspect is before they reveal it.
I used to love documentaries about that topic.

New season of Expedition Unknown started last week. Tonight was part 2 on the city of Petra in the Jordanian desert. They found a tomb directly in front of the carved building known as the Treasury, literally 20ft in front of the door. The same one from the Indiana Jones movie long ago.
Lots of new technology being used, interesting if you're a geek like me. Including a new 3d xray that allows them to read through layers of burned scrolls from 1600yrs ago. Actually read the words written on what is now carbon. Lots of important people came to see the work including the us ambassador to jordan.
