I watched "Tulsa King" and it is pretty good. Still can't believe that there is a movie / TV show with Stallone that's not shit, let alone good.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I've been watching "Special Ops: Lioness" and it is interesting.

What I find appealing about School Spirits is that it is a mash-up of My So Called Life and Dead Like Me.

School Spirits: ending twist I did not see coming. Hopefully, there will be a second season instead of the show being canceled.

I have been slacking on watching shows and movies. Been allowing them to pile up on my Netflix list.

He was outstanding in ‘Creed’. Nominated for an Oscar, I believe.
