I bet I can do it.

I haven’t logged into Netflix for awhile. I just went in to see what was new.

Listed under “Family Favorites”, they have The Professional, Desparado, The Whole 9 Yards, The Lincoln Lawyer, Under Seige, and other movies rated R filled with Violence, sex and nudity. I’m no prude, but labeling these family oriented movies doesn’t seem right.

Maybe those are your family’s favorites.

Yeah that Netflix algorithm is pretty spot on. No prude, indeed.

Formula 1 ratings up 39% over 2019. The speculation is this is largely due to the Netflix F1 show, which is a really great. I've watched most of the races this year. There's a very compelling championship run between Verstappen, destined to be one of the greats, vs Lewis Hamilton who is arguably the GOAT though many/most will say it's still Schumacher. I love it.

F1 is looking to capitalize on the increased interest and there will be two US grands prix next year, one in Texas and one in Miami. There's even a rumor of creating a street race grand prix in Las Vegas.

They did a street race about 10-12 years ago in Vegas. Not F1, maybe it was Indi.

An American media company bought F1 a few years ago. The Netflix series was part of the overall strategy to grow things in the US. They've had two races in the US in the past and I think they want a third. Going beyond that, I'm sure they'd like one in Canada and more in the western hemisphere in general because a major impediment are the race times starting at between 9AM to 6AM in the US time zones due to most of the races taking place in Europe and/or middle east. Running a race that starts at around 2 PM east coast time corresponds with 7 and 8 PM in Europe, so they're killing two birds with one stone. The European base gets prime time races and they get much better start times in the US -- not to mention better start times for fans in South America where the sport is much bigger than here in the US.

I know they've raced F1 in Montreal. Some friends of mine traveled for the race a few years ago.

Tick, Tick, Boom on Netflix. If you like musicals, or stories about musicals, this one is really really good.

Watched Hellbound and enjoyed it.

I watched The Power of the Dog a few nights ago. I think it's the kind of movie that you're likely to either hate or love. I loved it.

I watched that last week. I loved it too-- just really enjoy watching Jesse Plemons and Benedict Cumberbatch act.

Was a VERY slow burn. I agree with Commando both Plemons and Cumberbatch were fantastic. Kirsten Dunst was harder to buy as the alcoholic wife,

Just finished watching Don't Look Up. Funny as hell. Absolutely loved it.
