watched a most violent year this afternoon on max. solid film that defies expectations. it was set in 1981 which apparently was the most violent year in nyc based on crime stats.

going with civil war unless i fall asleep first.
after successfully wiping the mr and mrs smith slate clean i am eager, no whats the opposite of eager, unenthusiastically considering which other shows i should tidy up. on the list of started but havent finished though still in the mix
pen15, mrs davis, beef and probably a few paint by numbers british detective shows. still unstarted fargo season 5 and ripley are the only ones that immediately come to mind. offhand can recall a few apple+ shows im not anxious to revisit.
heres one for bill.

a couple eidsodes in and Sugar is coming off corny and cliche. Why don't the critics agree?
finally swung back around to finish up mr and mrs smith on amazon. kind of well paired with last nights the fall guy except with 8 hours they were able to flesh out the relationship more. as much as i love emily blunt it really was goslings "journey" and that journey was mostly in the service of the action while this was always about the marriage first and foremost with both characters given equal weight while the spy hijinks were just window dressing.
anyway, only had two episodes left today after months away, and think they stuck the landing. will look now to see if a second season is to be expected or if they are happy with where they left it.
hitting this tonight. amazing how fast things are getting to streaming lately.

imagine being an oscar winner and one of the most famous actresses of your generation only to end your career 40 years later at sea.

chowed down on heavens gate today. gonna say not the tastiest cut but what big portions! the actual history of events seems more interesting than the elided misrepresentation we were given but, hey, you dont single-handedly (another dubious assertion) end the age of the american auteurist director with a massive bomb without breaking a few eggs. apparently its been reevaluated and elevated over time. id say though its rife with overindulgence its far from a complete failure.
finally got around to wes andersons asteroid city. maybe that says enough. always beautifly constructed and layered, sometimes funny but increasingly inert. even when the characters had the deadpan affect you usually connected to what they were going through. here, not some much. they are just going through.
whats going on here?
and you said the ny times was not a serious publication. no links provided.
Stormy Daniels has often been discussed as the most colorful part of Donald Trump’s criminal trial. But in her court appearances she didn’t look particularly colorful. She looked the opposite, our chief fashion critic writes.
familiar with this one? podcast said it was like american graffiti if it were set in texas which is a generous appraisal based on my quick glimpse.
