Killed our Christmas Eve afternoon watching "Don't Look Up" on Netflix. The satire is quite funny in a scary way. A comet is headed toward Earth for a direct hit that will kill the planet. A plan is made to destroy the comet with the launch of several missiles at once guided by a profane ex-astronaut, only to have them turn back when it's discovered that the comet is full of valuable minerals. The deniers are only thinly veiled as Covid deniers, making the comedy/satire a bit scary. A rally by the President even features red caps that say "Don't Look Up". For a Netflix movie, it's packed with a star studded cast, showing the clout internet streaming is gaining.

I'm working my way through 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventures' currently.  Im over halfway through season 4.  I caught parts of it when it was airing on Toonami on Cartoon network and decided to check it all out since it's on Netflix. For anyone that hasn't heard of it JoJo's is an anime that is pretty gnarly at times.  Has an unusual color palette which is used for mood setting and scenarios that can get down right grizzly.  It spans over 100 year time frame with major protagonists being killed off from time to tiime. Each season has about 40 episodes.  Does it get goofy? Yeah a little bit, but not nearly as bad as say Dragon Ball. If any anime fans are reading this check it out and give it a chance, it will surprise you eventually.

I wanted to watch The Ricardos, and instead my kid made me watch Breaking Bad. I haven’t seen that in ages. But we ended up watching like 10 episodes. So I still need to see my favorites Nicole Kidman, Javier Bardem, and J K Simmons.

I’ve always had the hots for the redhead. I am J K Simmons, and I would go gay for Javier any day.

Watch "Being The Ricardo's"
 It's great. Nicole is Lucy. There were times I thought they cut in an old tape of the real Lucy. Took me back to my youth.

Will try it sir,
Please do tell this though : if you have crossed the halfway point of season 4, then how many episodes in total, would that be? And has the series been finished yet?

I am on episode 29 of 39 in season 4. I've watched 144 episodes in total so far.  Each seaon is mostly self contained but watching from the beginning definitely helps.  Season 1 is split into two parts, first part starts in the late1800's (around 1890 i think) and involves an enemy that comes back in a later season so it is kind of important.  Part two of seaon 1 jumps ahead to the mid 1930s ( I remember that time because there is a Nazi character that plays a role.) I will warn ypu that seaon 1 is a little dry and can grind on a bit, especially part one but it is important to the main arc of the series. In season 2 things jump way ahead to the 1980s and the format of the show changes slightly.  In seaon 1 the protagonists use mystic energy called harmon to battle their enemies,  in season 2 it changes to a psychic manifestation called Stands.  Season 2 is where it really gets going (48 episodes in that one so it's a long bitch of a watch, but not too bad imo.) Season 3 jumps slightly ahead to the 1990s and 4 is in 2000s.  Not all the seasons are available on Netflix, it has up to seaon 5 but not all the episodes of 5 are available as of yet. I think there are 9 seaons but they jump around at some point i have read. Sorry for rambling on but there is so much to this series that it's more than i can explain.  Just hang in there and be prepared to lose a small chunk of your life lol, I've spent nearly three whole days getting to where i am total time.  Hope you enjoy it,  if not... well then give me an earful for wasting your time  ;D

Welp, that does it,
That is a very big series.
So, I’m afraid, I’ll have to decline on it,
Can’t watch something that lengthy.

Klaus again. Love that little Christmas movie. I cry evey time she gets her sled😭😭😭😭😭


I dont watch anime. But I long time ago I remember seeing one with my cousin. It was about these kids who fight ghosts with a talking cat or something like that, and he explained that when they did the English voices, they went completely off script and made it a comedy. I wasn't completely into it, but I watched the whole thing with him and it was pretty funny.

Thank You Miss Shiela,
For reminding me of yet another memory of middle school. That was a great show.

I too was about to turn it off after a short period.  Then I discoverd that I could change it from being dubbed into English back to the originl Korean and then use the subtitles.  The difference in mouth movements between asian and western languages made it very disconcerting for me to watch.  Having got over that, it had much more of a plot than I was expecting and the story line got me interested in the characters and their backgrounds.  It was gory at times but no sadism/torture. 
I have issues with the ending but can't discuss it because of possible spoilers. It rates quite highly on IMDb; I would encourage you to give it another watch.

"Being The Ricardos"

The "I Love Lucy" show was shown in the UK in the late 50s, early 60s, and I had no idea about Lucille Ball's involvement with the despicable HUAC and the Walter Winchell revelation.  The film raised a question for me though.  In the USA is it compulsory to indicate a political affiliation when registering to vote and if so isn't it an invasion of privacy?

Very much enjoyed the film BTW

There is no federal register of voters in the US, to my knowledge. Voting laws are regulated by individual states, and vary from state to state.

Where I live, the registration process does ask if you want to register as a Republican or Democrat (or one of a few lesser known parties) but we have the option to leave that blank.

I have never been affiliated with any party, including the two major ones. Those like me used to be called Independent Voters, until the creation of an actual Independent Party, some years ago. Now I'm considered to be an Unaffiliated Voter.

The only time that makes a difference is in the primary election (which is six months before the general election), where you get a ballot with Republican candidates, OR Democratic candidates, OR no candidates. Anyone not registered with one of the major parties is given a ballot for only the issues, levies and non-partisan positions like local school boards or county commissioners.

Hope this answers your question.

No.  It's a climate change/over population genre. Also notable for the last film of the great Edward G Robinson, one of the James Cagney, George Raft, Humphrey Bogart era.

I watched squid games, and I was immediately drawn into it. Yes it could have been far less gory, and a subplot didnt make any sense other than to maybe show how winning the games can change somebody, but I watched the whole thing. I was eager to find out what the next game was, and how one would win/survive it. I have my own objections about the ending as well. It was better than I expected.
