TV and the U.S. Perspective
1) Saw the series Jett on HBO Max and was sorry there was only the one season. It didn't end on a cliffhanger but it also wasn't neatly tied up. I was interested to discover it was fairly recent, 2019, and got cancelled in 2020 because Cinemax was stopping original content production (no doubt part of the mess AT&T created with its mergers and ( Read more... ) -
Movies and Recommendations
1) Taking your enjoyment however small, forcing you to take care of yourself and being prepared if you don't, plus couple goals and the kind of welcome we all wish we got.

Well, It Was a Year
1) Injury solidarity and 'tis the season to gift friends.
2) I'm looking at episode 2 season 6 of The Great British Baking Show and they're talking about how hot it's going to be in the tent while the bakers are trying to make a chocolate dessert. And what catches my eye are the men with two layers of clothing including flannel on top and the fact ( Read more... ) -
Where is the money going?
1) Saw episode 5 of Hawkeye and found it intriguing. ( Read more... ) -
Co-Creation
1) When you're not the A team.
2) As some have probably heard, Michael Nesmith of the Monkees died this week. I liked this quote from a Rolling Stone article (a publication which would have reviled them at the time), because it's so true about canons generally:
“The Monkees were playing live by this time, and the lyric to this was inspired by that ( Read more... )
