Loved Mr. Robot.

Found the end was dragged on. Sam would enjoy posting in the politics section here😀

 

Homecoming was also very good.

I agree it was dragged on. While it did bring some interesting twists along with it, it probably could have wrapped a season earlier.

Gotta watch Scrooged again.

 

We have  Christmas traditions we've been doing since my son was first born, and it includes movies to watch leading up to Christmas day. My son was always along for the ride, but a couple of years ago he started building a Countdown To Christmas move list, with about 15 or so Christmas movies assigned to each evening.

 

It was like a Christmas Movie power rankings, with favorites getting played closer to the holiday. "Die Hard" is Christmas Eve, and no one touches that, but as he got older, movies like "Polar Express" (which we absolutely love) got pushed back in favor of other funnier movies. This year "Scrooged" move up to like the 4 spot, and my son continues to make me proud.

 

All year long if anyone in my family gets hurt, hits their head, etc., and someone asks what happened, the answer is almost always "Bitch hit me with a toaster."

Editor's Note: Another movie that worked it's way up was "The Santa Chronicles" with Kurt Russell, along with the sequel, where Goldie Hawn plays Mrs. Claus. If you haven't seen them, they're absolutely fantastic.

I agree. Season 1 was epic.

Lethal Weapon is definitely a Christmas classic.  However, I prefer Die Hard.

The Old Man was a decent drama.

Sony has fired Mayim Bialik. No word on who the new Jeopardy host is going to be yet.

Continuity concerns. Jennings will be the sole host going forward.

Beverly Hills Cop reboot

Great.  Maybe a third of the original was either written on the spot or ad-libbed by Murphy.

 

This'll be a tightly written script by a room of anonymous writers failing to execute an "executive producers" thoroughly &#%$ed-up woke vision.  Watch Taggert be a black lesbian woman.

Got home from Trivia and decided we needed to watch some Christmas classics.  Started with the Grinch and now rolling into the Year without a Santa Claus.  

 

It is truly amazing how much the Cheatmiser looks like the Heatmiser.

If I'm being honest, I watch very little Prime programming.

I probably watch enough that the three bucks is worth it.
