Hey, thanks for asking.

Just background noise reruns.

I saw:

March Madness - San Diego State, which did OK in the first half, gets
blown out by UConn in the second. Arizona loses a close one. UNC loses
a close one. Meh.

An ep. of B&B - Gotta love how you can check back on this show after
months, and have missed absolutely nothing! But, in this one, it seems
like they're going to write out Thomas (and his kid) at least
temporarily, which leaves dumb Hope with *nothing*, which I do find
amusing. But at the end, Steffi shows up to gloat, which just makes her
an asshole!

A lackluster ep. of "Wheel of Fortune" in which Pat made two
uncharacteristic mistakes.

Part of "Moneyball", which I had never seen before.

That was it.

Moneyball was an excellent movie, and now we'll never know if Billy
Beane can win the last game of the season with the team in Oakland.

Jonah Hill gives a better performance than in his comedies. His
character is fictional because the real guy didn't want to be used in
the movie. However, the real guy advised the production.

The movie is quite quotable.

Stephen Bishop made a career out of impersonating David Justice. Chris
Pratt got in shape to play baseball.

Kerris Dorsey's first major role; she'd later appear as Ray Donovan's
daughter. She's really appealing.

Watch is straight through, Ian. You'll enjoy it.

It's a good movie. It was on my short list when I did a sports movie
marathon a few weeks ago. But all the sports movies I watched were
football based and this is baseball movie.

I watched:

Invincible (Amazon streaming) Season 2 resumed a couple of weeks ago. I
watched the first two episodes that were already available.

"This Must Come as a Shock" - Season 2, episode 5. Picking up where the
last episode ended Mark is still on an alien planet. The people build a
ship so he can return home but ask that he take his half brother with
him. He does and his mother takes it surprisingly well, all things
considered. She is basically asked to raise her murderous ex husband's
son. Meanwhile the Martians finally head towards Earth forcing the team
to break into two with one group going to stop the Martians and the
other left to protect Earth resulting in a cliffhanger ending involving
both teams.

"It's Not That Simple" - Season 2, episode 6. This episode resolves the
cliffhangers from the previous episode.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (theatrical) Latest entry in the new
Godzillaverse franchise. Picking up after "Godzilla vs. Kong" there is
an uneasy truce between the two titans. Kong lives in hollow Earth and
is searching for his people while Godzilla remains on the surface and is
hunting other monsters and has basically become the savior of humanity.
Although it's almost comical how one country tries to "stop" Godzilla
from trashing one of their cities. Look if Godzilla needs to trash your
city to stop some other monster, just stay out of his way and let him do
his thing! Anyway Kong finally finds his people and it turns out they
aren't very nice. Forcing him to call Godzilla for reinforcements and
once again save the day. Story wise, the plot was paper thin. But it
did deliver on giant monsters smashing stuff. I'll take what I can get.
But I would appreciate a better story next time. Or at least better
acting! I know it's a giant monster flick, I was a bit spoiled with the
earlier movies having much better casts and stories than this one.

Now that this is correct, I'll respond:

I watched pretty much nothing yesterday (went for a hike instead). All
I saw was:

Disappointing March Madness games.

And a kind of disappointing Wheel of Fortune epie.

I watched:

Invincible (Amazon streaming) "I'm Not Going Anywhere" - Season 2,
episode 7, and the penultimate episode. While members of the team are
dealing with the emotional trauma and fallout from the last episode Mark
has to deal with a Viltrumite who comes to Earth to recruit him. Great
episode as usual. I particularly loved a funny segment at the start
where Mark goes to a comic con and meets a famous cartoonist and asks
when is the next season of his favorite animated show coming out. They
then talk about how long it takes to make an animated show and the
different tricks animators use to cut corners all the while showing
those tricks as they discuss them.

An Officer and a Gentleman (HBOMax) 1982 drama starring Louis Gossett
Jr. as a drill sergeant at a Navy base who has to whip Richard Gere into
officer material. I know I saw this once *maybe* twice. Obviously, I
only watched it because of Louis Gossett Jr's passing. It's OK I guess.
I just wish "Iron Eagle" was available to stream for free.

Iron eagle is part of the free trial at Apple TV or is available free on
PLEX.
