Started watching Crooked Hearts on the EPIX DRIVE-IN station. Came midway into the film. Good cast, but looks cheesy. Still, gonna check it out.

I just started a movie, The Mountain, on Hulu, with Jeff Goldblum. I'm fascinated by the fifties realism and horrified at the misogyny, but can't look away. Jury still out.

FX ---- Chris Rock Jason Schwartzman


In 1950 Kansas City, two criminal syndicates fighting for a piece of the American dream have struck an uneasy peace. Together, they control an alternate economy of exploitation, graft and drugs.

I've read mix reviews on it. NPR loved it while CNN Entertainment was lukewarm.

Stacey Abrams emerged as a real-life hero in 2020, both because of her tireless (and successful) efforts to expand access to the ballot box in Georgia, and her devotion to genre television. Social media lost its collective mind when Abrams disclosed that she was a fan of shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Supernatural, and the list doesn’t stop there. Speaking with Yahoo Entertainment, incoming Batwoman star Javicia Leslie reveals that Abrams is a big-time Bat-fan as well. “She’s been very supportive,” says the actress, who takes over the cape and cowl in Season 2 from Ruby Rose, after she famously exited the Batcave at the end of the show’s freshman year. “So shout out to Stacey Abrams! I think she’s going to love this season, and I hope we make her proud.” (Watch our video interview above.)

But why should Abrams just watch the show when she could be on the show? Leslie agrees that Abrams should visit Gotham City during the second season, which premieres on Jan. 17 at 8 p.m. on The CW. “Let’s suit her up as a hero,” she says, before switching gears to another, even better pitch. “How about this? Let’s suit her up as an anti-hero! That would be fun. A super-villain: I think we should go through the comics and find one we want to bring to Gotham and go ahead and suit her up. And don’t even reveal it’s her! Go awhile before we take off the mask and see that it’s her.”

You are missed in the community Martina and I agree with you about...
The Wire.

We are binge watching this series of TV shows and the man who plays Omar Little is definitely quite the actor!

We lost UFC to the pay channels and now they have brought it back with a vengence for free. One hour twice a week and Thurs. for three hours. Lots of women fighting its good to catch up on who is who and their standings. Right after that we have Swamp People back although the season is almost done it is good to see two of my favorites back. CSI SVU is still going strong, just watched it and now in here for a change.

[Stone-Butch]

A run of CSI NY for 7 shows today then 3 hrs of new UFC. I like tv *S

[Stone-Butch]
