📺 One Lane Bridge
Two seasons worth. Another in the style of ‘Kiwi Scandinavian Noir’ 😁. It’s not a cracker - but good enough to watch both seasons over time. (Trust me - there are many a show I start - never finish - and a review of which you will not find in here.)

📺 The Brothers Sun
Despite writing this back in February - it didn’t. Quirky. Funny. Great Action - and Michelle Yeoh. I mean - c’mon.

📺 Criminal Record
‘Truth to Power’. Solid, gritty, Brit detective drama.

📺 The Gulf
Coincidentally found myself living on/in ‘The Gulf’ when I discovered the show, so watched it with a little bit of a ’travelogue’ perspective. 😁 One of those dark Kiwi shows - they seem to be emulating ’Scandinavian Noir’ - if that is a term. If it isn’t, it should be. Great show.

📺 Gray
Arguably formulaic - but something about it kept me hooked. And ‘Cornelia’, don’t you love that name? If you like this genre - it is well worth a watch.

📺 Ripley
Started slow. Continued slow. Finished Slow. And I loved it. The Black and White cinematography was superb. More in those grey tones than color could ever do. Have to say I was nervous of having a longer version of the film. No worries. Totally different.

Apparently, Murdock and Musk were on pace to receive the RBG Award? Nobody thought .. hang on a minute?
It gets worse. Below the fold …
Two other ‘awardees’ were 🔗 Michael Milliken

Wondering if anyone saw this ‘post’ of mine from earlier this year.
(NO response at the time 🥺 - but if you have ‘replies turned off - it would have gone straight by you.)
Been bouncing around since then - and I keep coming back to 🔗 Daylite - a Mac only app - BUT seems to be very powerful. Finally took a dip into their 2 week trial - and talking next week - but anybody got any thoughts, comments, thumbs up and down »> other than thePRICE $$$$ - yeah - now I recall why I didn’t commit - but then if it stops me spending time in twiddling with stuff - maybe?
Have I mentioned before that I like 🔗 🎙️ Rob Long’s Martini Shot, short entertaining, great story telling about the entertainment business - and ties back into broader business - this one feature Karl Lagerfeld. My take? We all have a ‘little Karl’ in us.

Remember all that kerfuffle about Apple and Beeper - well - as reported just this week Automattic just bought Beeper - which personally I thought was a GREAT move. Even greater - in the same week Beeper launched their new app!
Installed - and ready - because even without iMessages - I still have a Unified Inbox for everything else.
And - not that anybody is watching me - but why this article should pop into the stream today - I have no idea - but it’s all about those other Beepers!
