White Lotus 2. Great characters setup opening episode.

Lasse Thoresen's Lyden av Arktis (The Sound of the Arctic) from 2L. It's "an acoustic atlas: a musical expedition that reaches as far into the Earth’s interior as it does into our minds and souls. It stands both as a multi-dimensional cultural and historical fable and as an environmental statement — with a breadth that envelops hope, beauty and nature’s untamed forces, beginning with the Arctic wind’s warning whisper, and ending with humankind’s inevitable apocalypse." That last part signals how good this also would be for scary, loud, trick-or-treating music. Ex:

I dunno

For the hell of it, knowing nothing about the show, wanted to see if I could find a review of Alaska Daily that didn’t mention Northern Exposure. Rolling Stone? TV Guide? LATimes? Hollywood Reporter? Chicago Sun-Times? C’mon guys, there must be one. I give up.

Fun HoD finale.

Breaking news…

Is this next? It’s been sitting here unopened for a year.

Starting Alan Moore's Illuminations. All for a good take down.

Yea, same thought on Morphine, which guess if we’re all thinking of the same exception proves Stretch’s point. And whenever I think of Morphine I think of the Bay Area band Fuck. And just looking up Fuck for some playback, stumbled across a similarly named band… And more…

Walked into a store playing Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Watched others walk in and confusingly look around and then at each other. Anyone have an earlier date?

Yeah, I'm not sure. As mentioned earlier I'm not even sure the target audience on this one. Bailed a couple episodes back. I may have lower expectations as it's not my genre, but one out of two isn't bad, is it? Remember for every ET, there's a Mac and Me.

As strange as it seems, and the review is from a narrow lens, but there are those who feel the opposite... https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2022/aug/31/the-lord-of-the-rings-the-rings-of-power-review-so-astounding-it-makes-house-of-the-dragon-look-amateur

I suppose the greatness of any documentary is related to knowledge the viewer has or hasn’t going in, but HBO’s Hostages, about the Iranian Hostage Crisis, hits something I have far too many gaps in. If you’re anything like me it’s highly recommended. Plus strange to watch in the contemporary shadows of all the UK monarchy turnover and the January 6th mess.
