I used to watch quite a bit of golf on tv, mostly majors, starting on Thursday.

Now, I can see why the TV numbers are falling. Technology may be helping too much. I can just no longer justify, or even want to, spend so much time watching it when you can spend 5-10 minutes on Sunday catching up on important stuff, watch the 1 hour of drama on Sunday afternoon, and feel like you didn't miss anything significant.

Oh, and then add on the rich-guy drama that is the LIV vs. PGA. So boring. Next.

its getting ridiculous. Its bad enough when it used to just be watching grown men play darts, pool, and paintball. Now they're filming tag?










I can find results of cricket, tag,, paintball leagues, bowling,.....but yet you can't even get a single rodeo result on their website anymore. The same channel that had a deal with the nfr for decades. Weird.

Watching "Wednesday" on Netflix with the wife and kids. It's corny but cute.

Started Season 3 of "Jack Ryan" on Amazon. It is slow and convoluted so far but will hopefully get better.

I seem to keep forgetting to watch the last season of Yellowstone. I forget about it until right before I want to go to bed. Must be getting bored with it.

I think you start that conversation with "I cant believe they pay me for this shit"

I'm going to lose all credibility with DC, but I recently watched the Godfather Coda and it's not bad. Especially if you buy FFC's intro speech that it was always supposed to be a coda and stand on its own.

Sofia is Julia Roberts and Winona Ryder's fault.

I'll allow it.

Don't know if I'll bother, but everything I've read says the re-cut is a significant improvement over the original "III."

Also, Glass Onion/Knives Out on Netflix is generally pretty meh, except that Edward Norton and Dave Bautista are their usual fantastic selves, making it entertaining.

Watch the FFC explanation and then decide.

I thought it was really fun, not Oscar worthy of anything, but watch and eat popcorn over holiday break fun.

Loved this exchange:

Blanc: It’s so dumb.
Birdie: So dumb, it’s brilliant!
Blanc: No, it’s just dumb!

If you assume Norton was channeling Elon, it/he is brilliant.

That’s the whole thing, right?

Johnson said he wrote it about Zuck, but post-Twitter Elon makes it so funny.

I guess I just assumed it was based on Elon in some shape or form. Was it not supposed to be?

My enjoyment of TV golf is largely dependent on how well I know the course. I don't need to have played the course - I think I've only played a handful of courses on any of the major tours - but if I know it from having watched many past tournaments, it's a lot more fun.

There's an Edward Norton interview where he essentially says that the character is intended to be an amalgam of all of the Zuck/Elon types. You're supposed to be able to see all of them in the character.
