The wife and I just started "Billions" on Prime. We're only 3 episodes into the 1st season, but it's shaping up to be pretty good. Lots of testosterone and phallus shaking. A list of great actors. Damian Lewis, Paul Giamatti, Maggie Siff, and more.
Turner Classics had a couple Harold Lloyd silent movies and I watched The Kid Brother. Pretty amazing stunts considering 1920's technology, that they were pretty much inventing everything and (quoted from wiki article)
On Sunday, August 24, 1919, while posing for some promotional still photographs in the Los Angeles Witzel Photography Studio, he picked up what he thought was a prop bomb and lit it with a cigarette.[11] It exploded and mangled his right hand, causing him to lose a thumb and forefinger. The blast was severe enough that the cameraman and prop director nearby were also seriously injured. Lloyd was in the act of lighting a cigarette from the fuse of the bomb when it exploded, also badly burning his face and chest and injuring his eye. Despite the proximity of the blast to his face, he retained his sight. As he recalled in 1930, "I thought I would surely be so disabled that I would never be able to work again. I didn't suppose that I would have one five-hundredth of what I have now. Still I thought, 'Life is worth while. Just to be alive.' I still think so."[12]

Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton were both astonishing.
Watched "The Hero" with Sam Elliott last night. Enjoyed it. Solid acting. Interesting story line and characters.
Krysten Ritter is almost always cute (short time on screen), but Laura Prepon is just plain sexy in it.
Didn't like the way they handled the ending. Minus 1 star.

Something Happened I don’t think we’ve ever done, we saw No Time To Die early afternoon, went out to dinner, the went out to see Halloween kills. Best part, we really enjoyed both.
Midnight Mass on Netflix...really enjoyed the characters and the acting, especially the guy playing the priest.
Ending made me wonder why I bothered. YMMV, of course.
I saw Margin Call last night (2011 film about the 2008 crisis). The acting is superb.
Just watched The Labyrinth (David Bowie) for the first time. Daughter insisted.
It’s weird.
