Wrapped up The Beast in Me

Spoiler

I didn’t like how two dimensional Nile became at the end, and the way he was caught was soooo contrived. Really, he confessed to both murders aloud to his wife while she secretly recorded him? Kinda hackneyed. But aside from that Rhys was a great villain and Brittany Snow is going to make a great addition to the over 40 and still got it thread next year. I’d still recommend the show especially since it’s a one and done.

Saw a movie tonight that’s ostensibly a Christmas movie, but the way the story was put together was pretty cool. It’s called Klaus and Norm McDonald voices one of the characters. I had never seen it before, but Regal was running it tonight. Everyone there seemed to enjoy it.

Two episodes into The Abandons.   It's a good time waster, but other than that, it doesn't have any real chops.  Decent acting, but the message is rather trite.    Train Dreams was better when it came to getting into your head and making you feel and think.  

I'll probably finish it, but if something else pops up in the meantime, it won't be hard to persuade me to watch something that looks more promising.

My wife picked this one over the weekend and I went in blind.  10 minutes in and was thinking to myself "this feels like some mid-level Kurt Sutter bullshit." Got to the end credits of EP 1 saw his name pop up and laughed.  I told my wife, "I'm surprised he didn't horn Katey Sagal into this show."  Opening scene of EP 2 and - boom - there's Katey Sagal.  Dude is a hack.

A few years ago, someone posted a short clip from "Brockmire" on here. It looked like a great show, but I don't have cable, so I never saw it. Anyhoodle, the first four seasons are on Netflix, and I just started it. Really digging it.

I watched the first episode tonight. This appears to be a story about Amanda Peet being hot as shit. I look forward to seeing where this story goes.

The Puff Daddy show is a good watch.  I had forgotten how much shit he'd been involved with beyond the sex crimes.  Kind of mind blowing so many famous rich people had anything to do with him.

Ok that does it. I’m watching The Whole Nine Yards tonight.

Puff Daddy is who everyone claimed Suge Knight was. Directly involved in both the deaths of Pac and Biggie.

The only thing I questioned during watching it was none of these people said anything when the money was rolling in and they were living it up. They only are speaking on him now once everyone piled on and I'm sure 50 Cent was paying them to get on this documentary and trash Puff. No one did anything to stop this maniac at his height of fame.

Except, and as pointed out in the doc, puff ain't a gangsta.

I think it had more to do with just how powerful puff was throughout the 90s and 00s. Shit, the argument can be made he still is very powerful, at least in some ways. 

Me personally, I always hated puff, and hope things get really interesting next year, when the one crip guy has his trial.

The new Knives Out movie sucked. A mediocre--and largely unused--ensemble cast. Disappointing after the original and Glass Onion.
Agreed. Definitely the worst of the 3

Puff wasn't a street gangsta, for sure. He didn't get down like that. But he was a different level of gangsta. He did his behind the scenes with money. He was the one pulling the strings as opposed to being out there doing the shit himself. As you mentioned, those are the powerful ones.
