What was the last TV Show or Movie you saw, and did you like it?

He should've stuck to comedy...imho.

(Or maybe he did.)

I guess I expect more realism from shows of that sort. Silly me.

I have found the more I know about a particular subject the less likely I am to enjoy a show about that topic.

I saw American Assassin on Netflix. It was pretty entertaining. Since when did Michael Keaton (aka Mr. Mom) become a badass character actor?

A great actor all around, but his playing Captain Gene for the win.

Spenser: Confidential on Netflix. Don't even try to pretend that it has anything to do with the classic books of Spenser for Hire and you'll probably like it far more than I did. I was the only child of a single mother and Spenser was my chosen surrogate dad, so I take this shit kinda personal.

The names Spenser, Hawk & Henry Cimoli appear, so do some boxing gloves...there ends the resemblance to the stories that helped shape my journey to adulthood. Liza Schlessinger's, ummm, talents aren't horrible to look at.

I tried.

Awful.

Escape from Dannemora on Prime. Great miniseries on the two guys that escaped with the help of a female prison employee in NY.

Worthless trivia....

Stiller actually reached out to the United States Border Patrol and asked if the team that tracked down Matt would like to play themselves.

They obliged.

I watched "Danger Close" on Prime. It's an Australian film about an Australian unit holding off a much larger NVA force at Long Tan. It was very good.

Even as a child before I was shooting much I was pretty sure Efrem Zimbalist Jr. couldn't shoot down a helicopter with that little revolver

More worthless trivia.

I had to inspect the M4 that was used to shoot Richard Matt, when it was returned from the New York State Police, before returning it to service.

Damn!

Did it pass inspection?

There's a new trailer up for "Greyhound", a WWII drama starring Tom Hanks as a destroyer captain escorting a North Atlantic convoy.

Looks and sounds.....overdone.
