Besides Canada squeaking by South Africa to get into the Round of 16?
And the interrupted Traveler's golf tourney?

I watched:

DOOL - Thur's ep. It's confirmed that Holly has ingested the same drug
that killed Sarah's patient - Holly thinks it's Sophia poisoning her
again but it looks like going to turn out to be just illegal chemical
dumping. Meanwhile EJ is plotting to murder Kristin and is sweating
people finding out about his ties to this drug (and people are closing
in on them).

The Gilded Age (HBO Max) - Ep. #3.8, the season finale. This wraps up
most storylines - Bertha throws a magnificent ball, but looks to have
lost George and Harry (probably for good). George is saved by Peggy's
doctor beau from the shooting, and after the usual misunderstanding
Peggy and the doc get engaged. Marian and Harry similarly reconcile. And Gladys and the Duke are back for the ball (but I wonder if this will be
the last we see of Taissa Farmiga's Gladys - the article I just glanced
at about season #4 doesn't mention her, though another article does seem
to indicate Farmiga will return...).

Get Off My Lawn - A 2025 Tubi original that just showed up on Lifetime
last night.
The thing about Tubi original flicks like this is that they are...
how to put this?... "cheekier" than Lifetime films of the same type. The problem with this is that it ends up *not* working more often than it
does - it worked with "Twisted Neighbor", and it maybe kind of worked in "Blood, Sweat and Cheer" (mostly due to Tammin Sursok's performance),
but it generally doesn't work.
"Get Off My Lawn" may be the starkest example of this *not* working
- I thought this was not good at all. Tonally, it's a mess - they're
trying for "horror comedy" but don't even come close to hitting the
mark. And the antagonist isn't "funny crazy" but "annoying and
off-putting crazy", which really doesn't help when the two leads (Tahj
Mowry and poor Camila Banus formerly of DOOL) aren't likeable either.
Bottom line: I thought this was a total misfire.

Gladys is the Cora Crawley (Elizabeth McGovern) character. I'd hang on
to the actress, since she's useful if the time of the story takes a
significant time jump. She can play her own age!

I still cannot suspend disbelief that women, especially Bertha, wearing
bustles could sit down. It's the most unflattering clothing ever
designed for a woman.

What did you think of my main complaint of the use of natural lighting
for interiors? I hated it. You couldn't see the set decorations any
more.

It must not have been terrible, because I did not notice it.

I liked the house that Jack the former footman got. I guess he'll end up
with Bridget(sp?).

In her second appearance on Doctor Who, the incredibly cute Clara Oswin
Oswald, got stuck, climbing out a window because of her bustle.

Kubrick made a big deal about using all natural lighting, and you pretty
much couldnrCOt see anything and what you could see looked like hell.

I watched it for the first time a few years ago on HBOMax. I liked it,
but I don't remember it.
