Salieri : I will speak for you, Father. I speak for all mediocrities in the world. I am their champion. I am their patron saint.
got through an opiod warped archer vice, season 6 still good for regular belly laughs. i can see how the second time through would be good. even now i'm picking up on bits that are ongoing. it's a great show.
Is there a brand new season of archer?!
Brand new as of when? Season 7 aired this year, but probably won't appear on Netflix until late winter. Season 6 wasn't in a league with Season 2 or 3, but it still had some great stuff (like the Bullitt episode).
finished season 6 of archer and continuing thematically with....
deliverance
Dana Carvey's Netflix special is worth watching twice, fortunately. Hopefully the Trump bits are still funny tomorrow.
Another vote for Black Mirror. Loved everything about season 3. Smart writing, quality production, interesting topics.
Watched 1st black mirror last night. creepy and well done. also recommend Jack Taylor. I seem to have a penchant these days for damaged, baggage laden, socially oblivious detective stories from the UK.
Not a netflix show, but just read that Netflix is now enabling (for some, not all, content) download for later offline viewing. With a little prep, plane rides will be much better.
Anyone mention The Crown? Feed your feminine side with some great production, acting and an interesting perspective on the royals circa late 40's, early 50's.
Just watched first two of 1st season. Now I see what the big deal is about.Quote:

Just crushed 2 seasons of Bloodline. Oh Lord. Need season 3. Now
River: very good albeit psychologically thick. Stellan Skarsgard is superb.
Enjoyed The Finest Hours. 50's period piece with cool maritime action.
Maybe it's buried back there somewhere but I've really enjoyed 'Rectify', very well made and the casting and acting is great.
The B team from Mythbusters have a new series that's OK... Rabbit Hole or something.
Just watched Richard Pryor: Live in Concert. First time I've seen it. That's some funny shit.
PSA - "The Big Short" is now on Netflix. I started watching it this morning and was hooked 5 minutes in. What a GREAT movie! Should be required watching for anyone buying a house. I know they took some liberties but seems pretty accurate as to why the housing bubble burst. Smart, funny and great acting.
i can't sleep and although i don't care for the graphic novel genre, i thought sin city was interesting maybe only visually. i'm watching the apparent prequel and which is visually interesting but i just can't take jessica alba seriously, even as a stripper. and ray liotta literally kills everything on site. i consider bruce willis as reliably entertaining as anybody.
insomnia theater: downfall. haven't seen it for years but haven't forgotten how good it was.
insomnia pain theater: the impossible
about the 2004 dec 26 tsunami. unfortunate that it had to be about white tourist family that flies off together and leaves the nightmare behind but otherwise it would be a documentary or nothing. i had to turn it off at one point. too suffocating and heavy. i remember being quite engrossed at the time it happened. i guess based on a true story though i haven't read about any liberties taken at this point. for 3 kids and 2 adults in the same family to survive being in a beach resort when it hit is pretty unbelievable.
Damn, you choose some heavy shit when you can't sleep. Might I suggest a light boring rom-com next time, might help you sleep?

oliver stone's untold history of the u.s.
not a fan of stone's really but there's some interesting stuff.
Letter from Harry S. Truman to Bess Wallace, June 22, 1911. Truman Papers - Family, Business, and Personal Affairs Papers.
"I think one man is just as good as another so long as he's honest and decent and not a nigger or a Chinaman. Uncle Wills says that the Lord made a white man from dust, a nigger from mud, and then threw what was left and it came down a Chinaman. He does hate Chinese and Japs. So do I. It is race prejudice I guess. But I am strongly of the opinion that negroes ought to be in Africa, yellow men in Asia, and white men in Europe and America."
Watched Sense8 with my roomate, it's ok. If your just looking for something to watch.
requiem for the american dream, chomsky
finally broke down and started tom petty's running down a dream after my best friend raved. but 4 hours!!
i named my second cat after this:
an hour in and as before, i like his music, don't relate to the writing much, respect him and enjoy the story but i am not moved.
i'm dreading the traveling willburys section. i used to joke that tom petty and everybody else jeff lynne fucked with got elo-ed.
all in all great documentary. would be impossible to legitimately fill 4 hours on the vast majority of bands.

"look at you. has your father stopped crying?"
bad ass. expectations were low.
David Brent: life on the road
With Ricky Gervais.
Very, very funny.
Watched it night before last. Very, VERY funny in a somewhat typical British way, which I like. And it was kinda redemptive at the end which was good. Shades of Spinal Tap.

A veteran African-American rock and blues musician, Daryl Davis has for some years pursued a side interest that strikes many as perverse, if not downright dangerous: He seeks out members of the KKK and other race-oriented hate groups, using personal friendship, generosity, historical argument and simple logic to challenge their prejudices. Working on this one-on-one level, he’s proved (in his own words) that “it is possible that change can occur” between seemingly irreconcilable people.
