    That person is an idiot. Babylon is horrible.

    I've been home with the flu most of the week. I watched Wolf of Wall Street and No Hard Feelings. Morgot Robbie and Jennifer Lawrence are both great beauties and each of them fully displayed that in these movies. We can't lose R movies so bravo to these leading ladies for not being cunts.

    Turning Point - the Bomb and the Cold War. Its a good watch through E2. A good amount of time spent on the Rosenbergs, Roy Cohn and Joseph McCarthy. If it becomes a mess of propaganda in later episodes I don't yet know.

    Finished 3 Body Problem. Underwhelmed.

    I had heard about it for years. The expense nearing $200 million, issues with production, etc.

    I didn't hate it. It was just a show, not some creative masterpiece imo.

    The concept intrigued me. For such an expensive project, the cast felt average.

    I am not a huge sci-fi consumer, but now I am going to have to buy the books. They had to be better than this, and I have a feeling its performed ok, but at its price tag, I don't know if I see them greenlighting the rest of the trilogy and I kind of need to know where it was going. This one took 4 years and they financed it at the peak of Covid when Netflix coffers overflowed.

    Watch Shogun on Hulu. Well done. Good cast. Cosmo Jarvis has young Brando qualities and there are a bunch of hot asian babes.

    Did anyone watch the Tom Brady roast? It was pretty good. Definitely not woke. Belichick, Bledsoe and some others were excellent. Gronk was not. Worth watching. Some of the people actually made black and gay jokes.

    The Comeback - the 2004 Boston Red Sox is must see TV. Can't believe this was 20 years ago. It remains the best, most thrilling thing to ever happen in sports for me as a fan. Bigger than Larry Bird, the Celtics and anything the Patriots could ever do.

    What happened in 2003 to the Sox was gut wrenching and the fault of Grady Little and so when 2004 came around and the team goes down 3-0 to the bottom of the 9th with the greatest closer ever (Mariano Rivera) set to end another awful season I went to bed. My youngest kid was not even a year old when this happened so sleep was at a premium.

    I went to bed pissed and woke up to my wife who said "well, they're gonna play again tonight." I didn't miss another pitch after that. As this was all happening it was really incredible. All of New England was glued to these games. As great as it was the joy faded for me soon after when Pedro signed with the Mets for the '05 season and then in later years when it was learned Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz were juicing.

    I saw Pedro drilling Yankees batters in a trailer and said to myself, “do I gamble my memory of just how epic that series was with this documentary”. Can they do it justice?

    I passed for now. However, if you can vouch and escrow with Druff I will watch.

    It’s sad how gay baseball has become. Let me count the ways.

    I've been patiently waiting for you to comment on this. Someone (HBO maybe?) did a special called "The Curse of the Bambino" many years ago. You can see that on youtube. This special, IMO, is 2nd to that but still very good. Joe Castiglione and Jerry Trupiano were the best radio team and the special didn't have enough of them calling the top plays.

    What happened that year WAS epic. People hanging Sox flags on graves and literally crying with joy. Old folks who thought they'd never in their life see the Sox win just one time. All the bad memories of '75, '86, '90 and 2003 and every other season for 86 years forgiven with that series.

    I read earlier about Vaughnp's Rangers win and Sloppyjoe and the Cubbies and I'm happy for them but there was nothing like what happened for the Sox in '04. By the time the Cubs finally won even the White Sox had broken their own curse.
