• What Did You Watch? 2024-03-20 (Wednesday)

    From Ubiquitous@21:1/5 to All on Thu Mar 21 04:30:40 2024
    The day the patrents sold their house, I watched:

    ONLY FANS IN *HUGE* TROUBLE! MORON "STARS" BEHAVIOR LEADS TO *MASSIVE*
    LAWSUIT & Government Involvement https://youtu.be/BJwi5E3YT6o?si=mpGiAK2wY3Vuulid

    DON LEMON *HUMILATED* IN NEW LEAKS & ELON MUSK INTERVIEW *FLOPS* IN EPIC FASHION! HIS DEMANDS ARE *INSANE* https://youtu.be/pCXXLVhyvzc?si=TFGx0BmcvniIJ56K

    LUCAS *DESTROYED* STAR WARS TODAY | ALL HOPE TO SAVE STAR WARS IS *GONE* | LUCAS BOWS *DOWN* TO DISNEY
    If there was any hope for Star Wars, it's gone now. George Lucas just
    finished off ANY hope left for Star Wars, betrayed the fans, betrayed his younger self, and nailed the coffin shut. I don't know if George Lucas lost his mind, or simply lost his soul. But I do know I am so angry I'm
    trembling.

    JOE ROGAN *RUTHLESSLY* ROASTS NEIL YOUNG FOR CRAWLING BACK TO SPOTIFY & HE *MELTSDOWN* & PULLS IT AGAIN!
    https://youtu.be/8Mvm6lq20Xw?si=P70UuyqsMfWeRZ5e

    FAMILY GUY:
    "Take This Job And Love It". Peter and his friends wonder aloud about their dream jobs. Peter enters a sequence a la James Bond, where he goes by the
    name Band and has to fight his nemesis, Blofella (aka Stewie).
    Anthology episode time! This time it's about Dream Jobs.

    First up, the show tackled a Bond parody, something American Dad beat them to (checks watch) 16 years ago. I did like all the Vegas jokes. And jeez, only this show could drop a reference to the Mandalay Bay shooter.

    I liked them taking advantage of Disney synergy and having Peter using
    Captain America's shield and Kylo Ren's lightsaber, and having everyone
    comment on it.

    Liked seeing Donna in the M role. And of course Stewie is Blofeld.

    I liked Quagmire as the inventor of aerobics, with Jane Fonda stealing his thunder.

    Yeah, got a kick out of the 80s production logo jokes. Why were they all so grainy and depressing?!

    And we got Cleveland and Joe as cops. So, of course, Lethal Weapon spoof.

    What did you watch?

    What did you watch?

    Yesterday is my "long" workday, though it was slightly shorter than
    usual. So I got through:

    soaps: DOOL - EJ can't find or contact Stefan (duh!). Holly is pissed
    that EJ took out a restraining order on Tate, and that dumb Nicole just
    rolls over to EJ; later, Holly commiserates with Eric, and looks like
    she was almost ready to confess to Eric, but doesn't. Xander is home;
    later, Sarah and Xander learn about Constantine's dead daughter, but
    Xander still doesn't trust him. Even later, Constantine wants NuTheresa
    to target Alex's fortune again (which leads me to realize that Alex
    hasn't been on in a couple of weeks!).
    GH - Anna admits to Jagger that he's been right all along about
    Sonny - unless she's trying to con Jagger, Anna seems recommitted to
    taking down Sonny! I have no idea what the point was with the scenes
    with Sonny, Bobby Vista as Blaze's mom, and NuKristina were! Alexis
    tells NuNuNuMolly that she's committed to trying to get her law license
    back, and Molly is not thrilled at the news, worrying that her mom will
    slip back into alcoholism. Chase worries about being a cop to Brook Lynn.

    Wheel of Fortune - There's a 100K winner! And he was kind of a freak show!!

    Danger on Party Island (LMN) - This was about what I expected, though
    even by the end, I'm not sure what the whole thing was about (was it
    about human trafficking?!...).
    Anyway, Lindsey Dresbach plays the plucky older sister who comes to
    some "party island" (I'm also not sure where this was supposed to be!?! Florida? the Caribbean?!) after her sister is found dead. The sister may
    or may not have gotten involved in some "cult", and some of the sister's supposed friends (and the local cops!!) seem "shady" to say the least.
    But with the help of a local bar owner, the older sister tries to find
    out what happened.
    There's kind of a dumb twist in here that I think actually detracted
    from the whole effort.
    But this ends kind of how you would expect it to (though I guess
    they just threw that poor redheaded mark to the wolves!?!) - it does end
    rather abruptly.

    For a second I thought I saw "mark of the werewolves" and got
    interested. I guess I'll record it, but if there aren't any werewolves
    in this I can't promise I'll watch it. ;-)


    What did you watch?




    I watched:

    Shogun - "Chapter Five: Broken to the Fist" - Another good episode, but
    just above background noise.

    I don’t consider spock fact checking as “watching“ for the purposes of these discussions. Should I be?
