This week I had a quick day trip to Qatar so figured I’d watch The Diplomat on the plane. I had downloaded 3 episodes, and although the season started slow and it took me awhile to remember what had happened in the previous season, by episode 6 I was hooked! It was the last episode I had on my iPad so once I got back to Kuwait figured I’d continue the season. Turns out that was the last episode of the season. wtf? Why is The Diplomat just 6 episodes this season, it’s not an epic mini-series, it’s like a random stupid show. Waste of time.
On the other hand, Landman is killing it, I love the show. I also watched the movie A Real Pain, it was good but was expecting it to be better.

movies I watched:
– Dìdi (2024) an average coming-of-age movie. I don’t understand the hype
– Bad Santa (2003) first time watching it (unrated version) and loved every minute of it
– Underwater (2020)
– Den of Thieves (2018) very underrated. I dare say this is Heat (1995) of the 2010s. hope part 2 will be as good. highly recommended
– The Abyss (1989) first time watching it (remastered version). I can’t believe this is a 35yo movie, and very relatable
Loved A Real Pain. As someone who’s also visited the concentration camps in Majdanek and Auschwitz, I understood the existential pain the characters were facing in the film.
Mark, i bet your favorite character in Landman is the daughter
Close it’s the fat guy who lives with them, reminds me of you
Ouch. Not fat anymore & no free loader. If anybody in film resembles me its Rip in Yellowstone.
Hahaha yeah you wish you looked like Rip!
Didnt say look like but i resemble him in his ways…loyal, enforcer, cowboy
Finished Squid Game S2 last night and it was great! I hope S3 won’t be too long of a wait 🤞🏼
