Yesterday, being a "holiday", I got through more, though not as much
more as you might think as I went out of the house some!...:

soaps: DOOL - Leo discovers Sonny stabbed, and thinks Leo's dead, but
realizes he is still alive. Then Chad discovers Leo standing over
Sonny's almost dead body, and assumes the worst. An ambulance is
called, and Sonny is taken to the hospital, but Leo wisely flees the
scene. Justin and Alex are informed, and Stephanie finds out too.
Meanwhile, Chloe tries to point out what an ass Nicole is being about
Jada and Rafe.

The Missing (HBO Max) - I've been meaning to watch this 2003 Ron Howard
western for well over a year now - so when it showed back up on HBO/HBO
Max, I decided to finally pull the trigger on it.
It's a decent enough western, I guess.
Cate Blanchet plays Maggie, the "healer" (i.e. pseudo-doctor) mother
to two daughters - Lilly (Evan Rachel Wood), the elder snooty
16(?)-year old daughter who resents Maggie, and Dot (Jenna Boyd), the
precicious 10(?)-year old daughter who helps Maggie with her healin'
and is good with a horse and a gun!
Maggie's estranged father, Sam (Tommy Lee Jones), went "native",
literally! and Maggie has never forgiven him for abandoning her and her
mother. When she sees Tom again, she treats him, and then kicks him out.
Of course, Maggie is going to need Tom's help soon enough - renegade
Apaches show up, and kill Maggie's strung-along boyfriend (a
young-looking Aaron Eckhart!) and ranch hand, and kidnap Lilly, to sell
into slavery in Mexico. (Dot manages to escape being captured.)
Maggie is forced to go to Sam for help, when the army seems to be of
no assistance (hey! it's Val Kilmer playing the sympathetic Army
lieutenant!), and she, Dot and Sam go out on a two-and-a-half person
mission to follow the renegade Apaches and intercept them before they
can get Lilly and their other captives (e.g. Elisabeth Moss) to Mexico!
This doesn't really have too many surprising developments, but it's
a solid (though cliched) story, well-told, so really there's not much
to argue! (I guess maybe I would have liked a little bit more of a
definitive ending...)

And what did you watch?

I watched the Director's Cut of 'Watchmen' (aka the Snyder Cut
Watchmen?). 3 hours long and honestly I couldn't tell you what was
added from the theatrical, mostly because I haven't seen the theatrical
cut since it was released. Still a good, grim superhero flick with a
lot of attention to the details of the source material. A refreshing
change to have someone trying hard to stay true to a movie's source
material.
