There is no better documentary filmmaker than Ken Burns. Period, end sentence.

 

If you've never seen it you simply must watch The Civil War, his epic 1992 treatise of that sad conflict. Its particularly relevant today because as US Civil War historian Shelby Foote so rightly says in that series "You can't understand America without understanding the Civil War.....".  When it was released it was called "the finest use of the (television) medium ever". I concur. It was/is a brilliant piece of work.....

Back on my Taylor Sheridan train, started the Mayor of Kingstown with Jeremy Renner.

This one also stars, and was co created by, Hugh Dillon from Canadian rock band Headstones. He’s been in a bunch of movies and tv shows over the years and is actually a pretty good actor!

Hugh Dillon?

Also, Diane Weist is awful to watch.

^Yes.

Finished watching The Diplomat (Netflix) with Keri Russell and Rufus Sewell. I don’t care what it is, I’ll watch anything with these two hotties.

Really great show. If you’ve seen The Americans you’ll know a bit of what to expect.

[LJ]

Have watched the first three episodes of The Diplomat, quite enjoying it.

 

Took me a minute to figure out where I had seen Rufus before.

[Matt R.]

Man in the High Castle was great too. Rufus’ wife in that was played by Valdy’s daughter!

Today going to sit in my 23-year-old Barcalounger and watch Baywatch.

Matthew passed away shortly after returning to his Los Angeles home following a two-hour pickleball game. According to TMZ, he had sent his assistant on an errand, and upon their return approximately two hours later, they discovered Perry unresponsive in the jacuzzi and immediately called police for emergency assistance. It's been reported that no drugs were found at the location, and foul play is not suspected.
