Over the last few weekends, some old school Hollywood featuring Cary Grant:

1959’s Operation Petticoat with Tony Curtis

Hitchcock’s 1955 film To Catch a Thief with Grace Kelly

and 1958’s Houseboat with the stunning Sophia Loren

At the end of the movie, as then Admiral Sherman steps off the Sea Tiger, and he's greeted by his wife and two boys, the first lad says "Hi Mr. Grant".. but Grant picks up the pace like no errors had been made, and, of course you immediately have the bus pulling away with the car attached to it. Few people catch the boy calling him Mr. Grant--but it's there.

Just started with “The Queen’s Gambit” on Netflix. Very, very good so far.

...“The Queen’s Gambit” on Netflix. Very, very good so far.

I don't know. I didn't feel like there were enough scenes where people stared at chess boards.

Just started with “The Queen’s Gambit” on Netflix. Very, very good so far.

I liked it more for the aesthetic of the filmmaking than I did for the story/characters, which felt a little bit flat to me.

I just finished "Your Honor" with Bryan Cranston, who is brilliant, as usual.

Brett enjoyed the moving colors. Everything else was........pedantic.

I guess Hollywood is counting on nobody reads anymore.

The Expanse (Amazon) is excellent.

I guess Hollywood is counting on nobody reads anymore.

Why is that? They've been deviating from the source material for some decades now.

The Expanse (Amazon) is excellent.

I loved the books (have read like 6 or so) but I have struggled getting onboard with the expanse tv show. It all started with Miller's hat. The book very explicitly said it was a pork pie and not a fedora. And then they go and use the wrong damned hat for the show. Pendantic? Probably.

There are “Victory at Sea” (watching now - showing the daily ration of rum being distributed onboard the battleship HMS King George V ) and “WW2: GI Diary” for the Second World War - can anyone recommend a similar documentary / series for WW1 ?
