Molly's Game. Interesting story telling about the poker princess, sort of "Suits" meets a bleaker "Ocean's 11", with Sorkin dialogue (but in a good way).
Free on netflix.

A French movie about a woman painter in 18th century France and her relationship with another woman she was hired to paint.....it was my suggestion as it sounded like something my wife would enjoy. Her take? "They should have shown the paint drying instead."
She seemingly did not enjoy the scenes with the naked women making out nearly as much as I did. Go figure.

The “movie” version of Hamilton on Disney+ was... outstanding. There is a reason that performers make it Broadway: they are simply as good as it gets in all three of singing, dancing, and drama. Lin-Manuel is so good as a lyricist/composer and actor, but there are so many great performances by the whole cast.

With no sports and not much TV, I've been recording old movies off of TCM lately. A few:
An excellent movie and definitely worth a watch. And my god....Shirley MacLaine.
I've always liked the Deniro one and figured it was time to watch the original. Gregory Peck >> Nick Nolte, but I'd have a hard time taking Mitchum over Deniro. Of course, this one didn't have Juliette Lewis in it, so that's a huge plus in my book.
I hadn't seen this one in probably 30 years. For a move that's over 70 years old, it holds up astonishingly well, in my IMO.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Watched Karate Kid I & II last night on AMC. Even though I remembered III being terrible I watched about 15 minutes of it before turning it off, as it was even worse than my kid-self remembers.
The thing I took away after watching these again is ... where the fuck are the police and children's services while all this is going on? High school kids are beating the crap out of each other. Adults are beating the crap out of high school kids. Kreese is choking the shit out of Johnny at the beginning of III in the parking lot of the Valley Y in front of 30 witnesses and nobody presses charges? Daniel's mom basically abandons him, letting a 50 year old strange man raise her only child while she leaves the city for extended absences, including not seeing her son off to college. Miyagi and Daniel travel to Okinawa together despite knowing each other for all of seven or eight months. Heck, even Century 21 leased commercial property to Daniel, who paid in cash and forged Mr Miyagi's name on the lease!
Actually the picture of Ralph Macchio is from the movie Teachers filmed in the old Central High School, Columbus Ohio.

Had them on the DVR for months (back when I got HBO on a free promotion) and watched these two the last couple nights.

Whatever the equivalent of varmint testicles are, you need to go find them.

Forgive me for being cultured, you cretin.
I’ve watched The Dirty Dozen and The Wild One since then, so that’s got to be some measure of redemption.

What About Bob? (on HBO)
Really makes me realize how often I quote this one... “Vacation from my problems”, “I’m sailing!”, “If I can fake it, I don’t have it!”, “Oh... the fam!”, even “I’ll be quiet- I’ll be peace”, and of course Baby Steps.
Bob Wiley seems way more normal these days, for better and worse.

Can you believe that Caddyshack is 40 years old?
FWIW, interesting SI story on Caddyshack II:
