Since the weekend, I have gone through:
House of the Dragon (HBO Max) - Season 3. As advertised, season #3 was a vast improvement over season #2 (there was pretty much nowhere to go but up!). But this was a lot closer to "class" "Game of Thrones" territory
with both lots of good battles and lots of intrigue. (Hard to say if
they got notes from the network to "punch it up", or they just naturally
got to the better parts of the book the series is adapted from...)
I also could not tell you how close this is hewing to the work it is adapted from - clearly, author George RR Martin thinks it's not nearly
close enough (and, on the Alicent front, I am inclined to suspect Martin
is right...).
But the stuff that happens in season #3 all seems consequential -
for example, major characters from the first two seasons actually die in S3.
Lots of good stuff here - a good villain, some good side characters,
etc. The one thing I didn't like (someone who should be dead, but who isn't), I suspect is also because of what's in the book - I doubt the TV show would make a change this big.
The one comment I will make: The first half of the season seemed
better than the second half - the second half seemed a lot darker
(again, maybe because of the work it's based on?...)
Anyway, looking forward to season #4 as they've promised to wrap
this all up in season #4. I am curious to see where this all ends up.
I haven't watched much else besides soaps (and golf). I did watch one
thing on Tubi:
Lake Dead (Tubi) - 2007 horror/slasher flick. From the good old days
when movies like this used to have gratuitous sex and naked nudity!
Considering what this was, it actually wasn't terrible - it sports a 4.1/10 on IMDb, and that seems about right. I mean, they actually got
Pat McNeely and Dan Woods to do this, so the cast wasn't all a bunch of nobodies!
Anyway, a group of young hotties, centered around 3 sisters (Kelsey Wedeen, Vanessa Viola, and Tara Gerard (who mostly appears separately)), head up to a remote motel that this sisters just inherited.
Unfortunately for them, the motel is also a magnet from a couple of
inbred brothers who love to kill coeds! Murderous wackiness ensues, and
for the dumbest reason you can imagine!!

I watched the first episode of Season 3 of LIONESS. This show continues to >fire on all cylinders. I really enjoy it. Plus Zoe Saldana nekkid nudity!

Hey, thanks for asking.
I am waiting for the next episode of THE snARK to drop on the Plex. Meanwhile, IrCOll look up that Tubi movie you mentioned. Thanks!
