Watched the latest Picard episode. Still pretty bad. Not sure what they were thinking when writing the show.

When I finally get to the book, that is currently near the bottom of my unread book pile, I'll give you a report on that.

It is going to be interesting to know if the storyline makes more sense in the book. Sometimes the tie-ins are based on an earlier script with nothing on the cutting room floor.

Yeah. my mind really enjoys picturing the details that a movie or tv series cuts out.  I have seen some movies equal or even exceed the books.  Shawshank Redemption is one.  The Princess Bride is another..........that book sucked.  Fortunately, that is a very rare thing.  But, for the Princess Bride, I would say they captured lightning in a bottle with the casting, directing and the script.  The Green Mile was also a better movie than the book.  Great script, acting and directing. 

I have 2 biographies to go thru before I reach it.  One of them is about Marlon Brando and it is a ponderous tome.   :o

Princess Bride is one of my all-time favourite movies. It's got *everything*.

Watched "Ad Astra" yesterday. A rather slow and dull experience, IMHO. Plus, they got orbital mechanics all wrong.

A couple of short Youtube clips. My attention span doesn't allow for anything longer at the moment.

Can't make it through my favourite YouTube clips at the moment. No matter how interesting the topic.
I can do upside down chocolate moo things!

I'm just assuming that everything I like is closed. :zoinks:

They've got "Pandemic", too, in case you run out of things to watch. :P
