So, in this new Kathy Bates Matlock, am I correct that the show Matlock exists in its universe? That she just happens to have the same name? I thought I caught a line in the commercial where she says, "Yes, Matlock. Like the tv show."

Is this correct?

Yes. I think they also mentioned Cheers but I'd have to re-watch the first episode.

The wife and I have started watching "High Potential" on ABC/Hulu, after seeing a chance commerical and deciding to check it out. It's a lot like Lucifer, only replace the Son of God for a hyper observant OCD type. But, it's rather enjoyable.

Oh, wow. I thought he was just one of the people who had been at the rally and went over to the capital. Didn't know he'd actually gone in and all. Damn, what a dumbass.

David Fincher has apparently signed on to do an English language version of Squid Games.   

 

Because apparently people don't read and we end up getting things like a person named "Mr. Beast" unironically using the format to give away money.

That's probably the most people should want to know about Mr. Beast, btw. For the love of heck don't google him or what his staff have been up to.

Netflix already did their own "Use the format to give people money" totally missing the point of the show to begin with.  I can't see a US version of Squid Games hitting the same, mostly because the whole "Squid" finale that the show's built around is uniquely a South Korean thing.  That and the whole other bunch of cultural things that don't really translate over really well that might not hit.

 

And try dealing with the Mr. Beast shit when you have an 11 year old that's watched a ton of those videos the past few years and have to deal with the one of three ways that idiot is gonna end up going.

Music by John Williams - My daughter wore an inflatable Dinosaur Rider costume for Halloween and she went Truck or Trwaring with her Aunt Nic. It was adorable  but made me think about the music from Jurassic Park. Then I remembered that this documentary was drolping. So last night/this morning at 1AM I turned this on.

I've talked before about how music cues in movies make me cry. This look at John Williamd and his process to making music for film is one music cue after another that just brings out nothing but emotion from me.

I lost count how many times I teared up, especially for Jurassic Park, which I feel to this day is his most underappreciated piece. It is so majestic and gets across the beauty of the dinosaurs in the movie. It literally brings me to tears everytime I hear it.

I love the music of John Williams so much and this documentary makes me live him even more.
