This will probably be brief, as I mostly watched football yesterday, and
graded...:

football: The 49ers dismantled Jacksonville pretty good - so good that
CBS eventually cut away from the game and didn't show me to the end of
it... :|
Instead, I got the end of the game where the Browns squeaked past
the Baltimore Ravens!
As per usual, the Chargers lost their game vs. the Detroit Lions at
the last second. [roll] >:/

soaps: Fri's ep's.
DOOL - Jada catches up with Leo and Dmitri (who I keep wishing the
show would just write out permanently), but they get the drop on her...
Later, as they race to Rolf's submarine, they get into a car accident
with Nicole (if Nicole loses the baby, I'm going to throw stuff at the
screen!!). Stephanie's old beau goes to her for PR help with The
Spectator, further annoying Chad (he really needs to just dump this
chyck!!).
GH - Yep - as predicted, Ned has his memory back. Anna is probably
done with Valentin, after Valentin admitted that he's known for a while
that Charlotte was targetting Anna and even destroyed evidence of
Charlotte's guilt. Trina righteously lays out Spencer when Spencer
whines about Esme getting her own place - hopefully, Trina is done with him!

A Roommate to Die For (Lifetime) - Another misleading Lifetime title -
there are *no* "murders" or "deaths" in this flick.
Despite that, this is another "roommate from Hell"/"squatter from
Hell" flick. And it actually wasn't bad - once the tenant reveals
himself to be a duplicitous, scheming psycho, the landlord chickie gets
all mischievous in coming up with ways to either expose, or drive out,
the dude. But a good chunk of the time, she's too clever by half!
FTR, I really didn't know anybody in this flick - I don't recognize
any of the cast...

Someone wanna tell me why ABC was running "The Empire Strikes Back" last
night?!...

What did you watch?

None of what you watched ;-)

I started Bosch: Legacy Season 2 on Saturday but watched the bulk of
the episodes on Sunday. I'm already looking forward to Season 3!

I found myself wishing that I'd rewatched Season 1 first because a lot
of the plot of Season 2 hinged on stuff that had happened in Season 1.
But it was still good despite not having rewatched.

Justified: City Primeval S1E08 'The Question' (DVR recording)
"Raylan and Carolyn cross the line; Raylan attempts to make it out of
Detroit alive."

The episode starts with the Albanians locking Mansell in the Safe Room
where he crushed Sandy's mark's leg, then giving Raylan the judge's book
and his gun back. It works for both of them, the mob boss explains,
because its the only way Mansell will get locked up and its like the
Albanian mark got to do it. DPD Internal Affairs goes after the
detective who tried to frame a innocent man for the judge's murder.
Raylan goes back to find Mansell got out. The Albanian mark went to
"get his honor back" and got himself killed, letting Mansell loose. He
promptly goes on a rampage thru the mob's nursing home. Then he goes
after his lawyer, who's left after Raylan warns her. Raylan waits for
Mansell to arrive at the lawyer's house. They "talk", Mansell reaches
for something and Raylan shoots him. Mansell's last words are "What'd
you kill me for?" In the aftermath Raylan takes early retirement,
lawyer lady becomes a judge. Meanwhile, Raylon's old "friend" Crowder
breaks out of prison causing Raylan's phone ring....

Interesting trivia I just discovered. The actor who played Raylan's
daughter is Timothy Olyphant's real life daughter.

I knew that, actually.

What I'm not clear on is whether she's ever gotten any other gigs, or
whether working as an actress for her dad is a "one-off".

I finished up my watching of STAR TREK BEYOND. I'm slowly working
through the various Star Trek movies. I enjoyed it, especially the
twist revealed at the end. Though the motivation of the villain felt a
bit overdone given the amount of time he had been separated.

I also watched the first episode of BEACON 23. Seems like everyone on
the show has some secret that will be revealed over the season. It
also appears that someone has way too much knowledge of the beacons
and how to control them.

What did you watch.

I had started threads on these episodes. She's... not an actress. Also,
City Primeval was NOT a Raylan Givens story.

If they do a Crowder story after this, it'll likely be an original
script, not an adaptation. I believe the only Elmore Leonard story in
which he appears is "Fire in the Hole" and that he wasn't a continuing
character.

My main take on this was that the story telling was hurt bad by
juxtaposing the Albanian mob story onto other parts of it; I didn't like
the last two episodes at all. There wasn't enough main story for 8
parts.

Agreed. I have 4K box sets of all of the Star Trek movies I am very
eagerly looking forward to watching in the near future. In particular
Star Trek: The motion picture has a new cut of the movie I've never seen
before.

That name sounds very familiar. I'm guessing it is something on my
watch list that I forgot to watch.

> What did you watch.

I watched:

Trolls (4K disc) 2016 animated musical starring Anna Kendrick and Justin
Timberlake as two Smurfs, I mean Trolls, who have to work together to
save their friends from being eaten by lovable monsters. I saw this
once before and was surprised by how much I liked it. On second viewing
it holds up very well.

Trolls World Tour (4K disc) 2020 sequel which finds the Smurfs, I mean
Trolls, banding together to stop a "Rock Troll" from stealing their
magic strings and forcing all trolls to be "Rock Trolls." This movie is
way better than it has any right to be! I pretty much had a smile on my
face the entire time while watching.

The Killer (Netflix streaming) 2023 thriller directed by David Fincher
and starring Michael Fassbender as an assassin who sets out for revenge
against the people who hired him after an assassination attempt goes
wrong and his employers retaliate by attacking his girlfriend. Most of
the movie has Fassbender narrating the "rules" that he follows and
general commenting on his environment. I want to say this movie
reminded me of "The Accountant" except I don't remember the "Accountant
all that well," but I get a very strong feeling that both movies are
similar. Anyway, I was expecting a better movie from all the hype, but
it was still very much watchable.

It's a brand new show. They released the first two episodes over the
weekend.

All of the above are on my list.

I remember the ACCOUNTANT very well having seen it a couple of times.
The back story of THE KILLER isn't the same as the ACCOUNTANT.
Fassbender's character may be somewhat like the accountant in that
they have a certain way of doing things.

Its her only credit so far in IMDb. Possibly daddy helping her break
into acting if its not a one-off.

'Fire in the Hole' is listed in the credits as one of the two source
stories for the mini-series.

Be sure to look for my credit. Oh wait, that’s right, they butt fucked me
out of my credit when they falsely, blamed me for something they screwed
up.

They have to list "Fire in the Hole" (2001) as it's the story they are
exploiting for adaptation rights and the story featuring the Boyd Crowder
character. The Raylan Givens character was created in the novel Pronto (1993)
but that novel was already adapted for tv in 1997. The character also
appeared in Riding the Rap (1995) but who knows who has adaptation rights.
Looking it up, there's also Raylan (2012), which I haven't read. I've
read a lot of Elmore Leonard novels but not all of them because he was
quite prolific.

Nothing. No TV here.
