I liked season 1 of Landman. Season 2 just couldn't keep my interest. The actors for the female characters on Taylor Sheridan's shows have to deal with some atrocious writing. I couldn't stand the red headed daughter on Yellowstone and the wife and daughter on Landman were two of the most vapid and ridiculously stereotyped characters I've seen in a while.

Red-headed daughter??  

Yes, the wife and daughter on Landman are extreme, but if you wanted to try to give it credit, one could say the wife is what you get when a pretty country gal has undiagnosed bi-polar disorder.  For a sub-culture that might poo-poo that hippy medical stuff, a man has to decide if he wants to wife her up and ride that bull or not.  Because she sure as shit isn't getting medication for it.  
And the daughter, well, maybe that's what you get when your daddy never tells you 'no' and you have an undiagnosed bi-polar mother.  

But maybe it's just vapid writing.

I guess the character's name was Beth. It's been a while. I got through a couple seasons of Yellowstone before I lost interest.

She's blonde.  And yeah, she's basically full-bore bitch...pretty one-dimensional.  But she pays for it, physically, so that's something.  She doesn't walk through life like that unscathed, which would have been unrealistic.

I think it's probably an easy way to make the female characters matter more than just being window dressing (just having them be extreme).

If you guys think Sheridan only writes vapid stereotype stuff for women, you haven't watched Lioness.  Them are some bad bitches.  Although I, for one, appreciate the gratuitous nudity!

Got a couple more new Prime season drops to watch in between football 5 nights a week and MLB.  If only I had the time...

Mobland Season 2.  Watched the first 7 minutes by myself when wife was in the shower.  I think Pierce Brosnan as a mafia boss is more of a badass than he was as James Bond.

The Terminal List is back for Season 2 in a couple of weeks.  Must have found a cure.  Will have to watch to see.

Watched the Goonies on a flight home yesterday. Fellas, I know this is a hot take: that movie sucks.

Maybe it didn't suck when I was 11; and maybe that's all that matters because it was meant for 11-year olds in 1985, but man, it is just not a good film.

Unpopular take:  you are correct!

“Going for Two” hits theaters Oct. 23, and this is one Nebraska movie I definitely want to see.

Set in Omaha in the fall of 1983, the coming-of-age comedy follows 12-year-old Jimmy Moriarty, who is growing up without a father and looks to legendary Husker coach Tom Osborne as a role model. Along with his best friend Frankie, he navigates the awkwardness of growing up while the Huskers chase a national championship.

And we all know how that season ended. One of the most memorable decisions in Nebraska football history.

The movie stars Julianne Hough, Matthew Lamb, Holly J. Barrett and Cora Craver. It was written and directed by Nebraska native Kathleen Welch Markel and filmed in Omaha.

Watched 2015's Kung Fury last night with the eldest. Oh lord is it ridiculous and awesome. Highly recommend. 31 minutes of free goodness on YouTube. Downright silliness harkening back to the 1980s and action film tropes (right down to the fake VCR problems one encountered watching movies back in those days). Worth it if you are into the so bad its good concept, particularly with films that are self aware that they are going for that. Just ridiculous.
Here it is: Kung Fury

I'm going to make time to see You Can See Everything. I love pretty much everything Nathan Fielder has done, and the reviews suggest this is the best thing yet. We'll see if I can convince the wife to see it or I am flying solo.

Walking along the river today I swear I saw one of the Ted Lasso cast: the little one of the three pub friends with the thin mustache...

Unfortunately my wife wasn't paying attention because she'd have been able to confirm 100%.
