I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
I want to give Wolfhound a watch, russian movie from 2007 that seems like a blend of Conan and LOTR.
Besides that, when it comes to new stuff I'm excited for Andor and not much else tbh.

Alita: Battle Angel
I watched it today and forgot how great it was. Truly should have gotten that sequel! Ed Norton might be too old now to play Nova.

I watched Cyberpunk:Edgerunners for the first time.
I've watched some but not much anime (Ghost in the Shell, Akira, Neon Genesis Evangelion) and thought this was really good and up there with those. Similar in style and tone, even.
Well worth watching if you played and enjoyed the game. It's 100% the same setting as the game, just ~1 year prior.

It was meant to be both but the mods separated them.

Exposing the sinister cartel of retailers who allow companies to pay for advertising space.
Then you should change your first post to reflect that change. Now it's confusing.

I just started Takeshi's Castle 2023 on Amazon Prime. I'm into Ep2.
For those unfamiliar, from roughly 1986 to 1990 Takeshi's Castle aired in Japan. It was a game show featuring obstacle courses. Contestants attempted to thwart the obstacles to reach the castle and take on Takeshi. Failing a challenge meant elimination for the participant, and most challenges were very difficult. It spawned modern shows like Wipeout (which was sued for copyright infringement by the Japanese company that owns Takeshi's Castle, and was settled with undisclosed terms), and the more popular Ninja Warrior.
From 2003 to 2007, Spike TV re-purposed Takeshi's Castle footage, used none of the original audio, and re-branded it as Most Extreme Elimination Challenge (also known as MXC). (There's even a Twitch channel that only shows MXC all the time!)
In 2023 the show was revived and is available on Amazon Prime. Contestants again face difficult obstacles in their concerted effort to reach Takeshi's Castle. Cast members from the original return in various capacities, including contestants who competed together 34 years ago returning to compete together again. A Captain cheers for and urges on the army of contestants, while Count Takeshi's court watches the action and talks a lot of shit.
It's just fun and silly and harmless fun, with some good crash landings and fails along the way. I grew up on game shows in the 80's and 90's, with an appreciation for some of the older ones as well. This fits that vibe so well. It's uniquely Japanese at times which is to be expected since that's where it is made.
Here's a compilation video from MXC.

The Theo Roosevelt one is really good too. I liked Grant better due to the war focus. Planning on checking out the Washington one next. Stay safe out there...more snow for us (midwest too) tonight.

Landman on Prime with Billy Bob is pretty solid. Enjoying the pace and take of things with actors all doing solid work. Great production quality too.

WTF is A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms? I’ll have to look into that.
Can’t wait for season two of Severance.

I am down the MXC rabbit hole. I'm currently watching the Twitch channel that runs MXC constantly.
I am addicted and I have questions! lol
Is the original version dubbed or subtitled somewhere? I'd love to watch it and hear the humor and commentary.
I'm impressed by how clever MXC was with their dubs and antics. I think I read that it was a side project for the people who worked on it, so they did what they could with spare time and resources, and limited access to footage. It gets raunchy and even a little dark sometimes lol. It felt like they were writing like that because no one was watching, although I don't think that was the case? I can't really find any data on that.
I wonder what Tokyo Broadcasting System thought of MXC!

I just finished the last season of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
While it remains one of my favorite comedy series for me the formula last few seasons grew a bit stale.
Also knowing Richard Lewis had passed away it was hard for me to watch him as a walking skeleton with his eyes bugging out of their sockets.
Still, gimme Larry David over Jerry any day

I thought the same about Richard Lewis. But, i also think it was nice that Larry and Richard wanted to do this despite Richard’s health situation. Apparently they had been friends since childhood.I just finished the last season of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

I've been watching Landman, it's stupid af and completely pointless but pretty fun so it's watchable especially if you want to relax and not think too much.
The one thing I don't like though is the preachy political messaging once in a while which surprisingly this time is conservative leaning and it's just as obnoxious and annoying as the liberal preaching we've had the last 10 years. When will these Hollywood morons understand that we don't like this shit either way?

Started watching this with the missus
It's a tad cheese on toast in spots but there's not one character I don't like. Well worth a watch I'd say if you've never seen it
A hell of a lot better than the shite being churned out these days.

If this is a safe space … I bought a month of Crunchy Rol and I’ve been on an anime bender the last week or so. So far I think Jujutsu Kaisen is kinda meh and Solo Leveling is amazing. I also caught up with Demon Slayer but think the Entertainment District Arc has been the series peak this far.

Watched a miniseries on Netflix called The Breakthrough which was really good. It's a Swedish production.
Also, I'm watching a new show called The Pitt which I'm really digging. It's kinda like ER.

I'll check out Solo Leveling thanks!

Cool. The animation is pretty sweet and you’re essentially watching the main character of an rpg level up and become stronger. It’s like the gamification of self improvement. Regardless, let us what you think when you get around to it!

Rewatching The Shield. Not seen it since its original run.
One thing really bugs me. I'm on season 3 and I've not seen a single suspect lawyer up and they all sing like canaries once they are being interviewed. Is that how things are in the US? Can't be surely? In the UK people just lawyer up and say no comment regardless of guilt.
Other than that, really enjoying it again.

Is season 3 the one where Glenn Close starts appearing in? Pretty much dropped it there. Not because of her (allthough her character does suck, majorly) but I kinda just went on to other things. Need to pick this back up.
I would say it's less about them being only "interviewed", and more about facing the very real possibility, that Vic and friends don't care too strongly about their "civil rights" and a couple of their bones might not be as unbroken as they want them to be when their lawyer finally shows up.
Honestly, I think Law&Order (the original one, especially Seasons 1-12, everything else is mostly garbage) is still one of the most interesting shows to look at all the games and such of the american justice system.

Think that's season 4.
Its not just Vic's team, its anyone who enters the Barn! i think I've seen 2 lawyers this whole time lol.
Honestly though, its a great show and great entertainment. I'm loving it all over again, even if its kinda ridiculous. Vic and Shane are great characters especially.

Severance (S2 currently airing)

Slow Horses
Somewhere here there's a joke hiding about me recommending you SSS shows on the day the media goes into a frenzy about Elon going SS, but I'm too lazy to dig it up.

I have had the Apple TV since launch, It is one of the few streaming services I have.
Severance, Ted Lasso, Shrinking (Ted Lasso and Shrinking are Bill Lawerence ie Scrubs)
Silo, Slow Horses (Best Show), Disclaimer, Tetris, See (poor man’s GoT, 1st season is worst).
Honestly, they have more than any other platform of “Watchable tv”. It reminds me of NBC in the 1990’s. Not offensive and it is “fine”. Apple TV is missing its champion tv show to bring it more attention. Apple TV is lacking a Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Yellowstone, Friends, Frasier, Seinfeld, GoT. Apple has not found that yet.

Just caught up on Dexter: Original Sin, it is good, damn good.
Patrick Gibson is doing an amazing job at portraying a young Dexter. Mannerisms and everything are on point.
