Me either. There was just too many
of them, you couldn't go anywhere
without seeing one, from 1964 on.

Well, Mustang was about 5% of the market that year, which is insane for that kind of car. No other car comes close to that kind of penetration now. Even back then probably only the family Impala might have.

Soon it will be just one of two cars left in the Ford line.

Really enjoying Ozark season 2
Binged on it last nite and this morning.
Up to episode 8
Of course not as good as season 1 which was great
Still very well done

Of course not as good as season 1

I couldn't even watch the entire first
episode, the acting was so awful.

Reviews of season 1:

I would rather peer through my neighbor's bathroom window and watch him squeeze one out than re-watch Ozark.
Full of pointless scenes that have no baring on the main plot - which itself is weak.
Characters are unbelievable and the writer has been very naive thinking people would buy it.
Not a single twist or cliff hanger that gets you on the edge of your seat or wanting for the next episode.
Really is the worst series I've watched.

Another:

Cheap production as they are unable to hire someone who can write a script and someone who can remove the dark blueish filter. And actors are just not as terribles as other cheap production.
But what's really behind my 1 star review, is the extremely graphic content, as they show gay sex and children in a stripclub getting lapdances. Just because something is on "film" does'nt mean it's okay to show. Seroiuosly, extremely disturbing scenes!
It is so sad seeing films and TV being destroyed by these people.

This is easily the dumbest and least plausible crime show on TV. The protagonist talks his way out of everything, usually with a pathetically weak scheme that makes no sense. The antagonists (the Snells) are the least intimidating or believable bad guys in the history of recorded media. The FBI agent tracking the Byrds is a lame ripoff of every "troubled cop" you've ever seen and the Preacher (a supposed man of God) happily sacrifices his own pregnant wife rather than simply go to the police or leave town. If you have a functioning brain, avoid this show. Only suitable for mouth breathing, mentally stunted Trump voters.

Another:

complete waste of time.

Unbelievably bad, ridiculous and stupid script. The script writers must think that the audience have chicken brains otherwise they would not dump such unimaginative, crappy and ridiculous dialogues and story situations on us. And the characters they have created! Oh my god! Each one is more painful to watch than any other character in any other TV series. Tried my best to watch it. Went so far as 5th episode and could not bear it anymore! Run away from this!

Just finished up all 10 episodes of Ozark season 2
Overall pretty good. I binged the 2nd season so that says something.
Season 1 was 9 out of 10 stars
Season 2, 7 0ut of 10 stars
Show really keeps you on the edge as the death count is high and you never know who's next

Jack Ryan on Prime. Holy crap this is good.
Saw the first 2 eps, as good as any of the
Ryan or Bourne movies.

Excellent cast, acting, writing, locations.
Lots of action and intrigue, Amazon has
dumped a ton of money into this. Only
8 ep's, but that's typical. Krasinski has
been working out since The Office, he's
pretty ripped, ab's and all. He's totally
believable as Jack Ryan.

So , I guess this is a new thing where funny actors make a name for themselves in sitcoms, then they get ripped and become action stars.



I guess they are following the Bruce Willis career school.

I was surprised at how good an actor
he is. I didn't really like the Office, the
humor was too repetitive. I had serious
doubts about Ryan, but it's really really
good so far.

Just watched a Documentary on Netflix
Alpha Go
A team of computer programmers and their software takes on the best Go player on the planet
Very well done

John Krasinski was *this close* to being cast as Captain America. He lost out to Chris Evans.

His wife, Emily Blunt, was originally cast as Black Widow. But 20th Century FOX screwed her out of that role.

What could have been....

Emily Blunt has dual US and UK citizenship.

Emily Blunt was almost cast as Peggy Carter, Captain America's love interest. That role eventually went to Hayley Atwell, who also has dual US and UK citizenship.But Emily Blunt lived in the UK much more of her life, so she is decidedly British.


Emily blunt was also considered for Captain Marvel, but after Brie Larson's film Room came out in fall of 2015, she was awarded the part.

So that makes Black Widow, Peggy Carter, and Captain Marvel that Emily Blunt was in consideration for in the Marvel films. She'll just have to settle on Mary Poppins and A Quiet Place II.
