Just finished Season 2. Last half focused on the Atlanta Child murders. As someone who lived relatively close to Atlanta at the time, it was very interesting.

The whole thing with the child murders was very well done. I'm interested to see where season three goes and if there's more emphasis on BTK. My favorite part of season one was the inmate interviews.  The Son of Sam one was brilliant this season.  I just hope season three doesn't take two years to be released.

This looks awesome.

The book is outstanding.

Bryan Stevenson himself is a great speaker, on top of being a great human.

Strictly on his portrayals of both Clayton Bigsby and Prince, I do hope Chappelle is some day universally recognized for the comedic genius he is.

I recently listened to Jim Gaffigan on Joe Rogan’s Podcast. The two of them spoke about Chappelle with awe. Both agreed that he is a rare genius. I’ve heard Rogan talk about a lot of comedians. I’ve never heard him speak about anyone in those terms.

Those and the racial draft are the trifecta of Dave Chappelle genius. I do love the Training Day sketch with Wayne Brady as well and apparently so does Desmobd Howard

Next to the trifecta, my favorite is the Revenge #1 sketch.

Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

Dave Chappele in Robin Hood Men in Tights.

This scene never gets old.

T.  It is quite good so far, definitely shows his bad side throughout, and even some good stuff that is not reported.

Thought "Sticks and Stones" was great. He lost his fastball for awhile, but it's back.

Be sure not to miss the Epilogue (if you don't have AutoPlay turned on).  Another 20+ minutes of fun.

On an "old film" streak right now (inspired I think by rewatching QT movies recently), mostly films that I missed or had only watched parts of  (exception Chinatown, which I have seen 4 or 5 times):

Bonnie & Clyde (I challenge anyone to name a more beautiful/sexy actress than Faye Dunaway in this film; I had of course seen her in many other films [see Network and Chinatown below], but B&C is a revelation).

The Third Man

Network

Mean Streets

Chinatown

Great Escape (original)

I recommend all of them.  Kind of a sky is blue recommendation, but anyway...

A near perfect film. "The name is Lime, Harry Lime". And that Zither? Pitch perfect.

Just Binge Watched Jack Ryan. Aside from the fact I was waiting for Dwight Schrute to make an appearance, it was OK.  It was kind of a Homeland Light.

I'm glad my teenage daughter made us watch with her.

Found myself laughing out loud repeatedly and loved the good-hearted way each episode seemed to end.

Have really enjoyed On Becoming a God in Central Florida starring Kristen Dunst.  Yet another dark comedy, but great writing, good story telling, and not try to be to over the top...

Just watched the first episode per a recommendation. I used to peddle Amway back in the day, I loved the first episode. Spot. On.

Bryan Stevenson himself is a great speaker, on top of being a great human.

True on all three counts.  The real deal.
