The Mark Twain Prize award show honoring Conan O'Brien was surprisingly funny for the most part. We thought there might be some good stretches and there were. I won't spoil the punchlines, but some of the speakers were: Adam Sandler, Bill Burr, Stephen Colbert, Sarah Silverman, Kumail Nanjiani, Nikki Glaser, Will Ferrell, Andy Richter, John Mulaney, Reggie Watts, and David Letterman.

We didn't see the original, so it was nice to catch it on Netflix.

Watched Past Lives last night, a movie about what-could-have-been between 2 childhood friends. Moody and honest with a bittersweet ending.

Not a movie to watch with your bros, but good movie if you want to chill with your woman.

We saw Past Lives right after it won the Oscar and really liked it. The two leads are quite good and after we saw it, I started keeping an eye out for future projects they'd landed. It was mentioned on an earlier page that Teo Yoo had a role in the second season of The Recruit, (and he's been in some other works, too) but he's filming this summer in Vancouver for the upcoming Lionsgate big budget film, Karoshi ,  which includes Cynthia Erivo of Wicked fame and Isabel May.

Greta Lee, who plays Nora, has been in quite a few tv & film projects since Past Lives debuted and secured the role of Eve Kim in Tron: Ares; scheduled for an October release.

I think you captured the emotional impact of the film quite succinctly and the film deserved its Academy Award.

This was fun, and very moving in its own unique way. If you have a deep love for comedians, late night TV and/or Mark Twain its well worth the watch.

The Mark Twain prize event was a lot of fun. Conan is my guy and has been for over 25 years. I’m not going to pretend that I was an early watcher but once I discovered it in late high school, I was locked in.

This show was very representative of that alchemy of sincerity and insanity that Conan O’Brien embodies.

Nonnas.  A cute little movie about an Italian American guy who opens a restaurant on Staten Island with Italian nonnas as chefs.  It’s got a nice cast like Lorraine Branco and Linda Bartalini, but it’s really a love story to Italian American families and their food.

We've been eyeing the trailer for that flick as it keeps appearing via the algorithm and hadn't made up our minds (I'm one of those who doesn't like to quit a movie once I've started even if it's bad) so we may give it a shot.

On a completely different track--I don't know if they're still in their rotation, but for a while the Dune movies were on Netflix and we watched them again and once more the cinematography was just so stunning.
