Report for Thursday, Aug 26th

Today’s reports originates from Washington D.C., visiting daughter Lacy and grandchildren Ava and Dash. And golf at the great Potomac Shores later this morning.

TV News: HBO’s Los Angeles Lakers Drama series is going full steam ahead. It is entitled Showtime: Magic, Kareem, Riley, and the Los Angeles Lakers Dynasty of the 1980’s. Starring Adrien Brody, Michael Chiklis, Jason Segel, Michael Shannon, John C. Reilly, Sally Fields and many others. The mini-series will debut in March. I was there, covered the Lakers at the press conference announcing Kareem and Magic joining the Lakers. I can’t wait, they will be one hour segments, but we don’t know how many segments yet. Should be great! … So Punky Brewster’s second reboot has been canceled, it comes one season too late. 

Streaming on Netflix, the movie Sweet Girl. Look I like Jason Momoa, however, his new movie, Sweet Girl is a convoluted, unbelievable, big silly mess! The effects and stunts are fabulous but that’s where fabulous ends. When Jason’s wife dies after a pharmaceutical pulls the experimental drug that could save her, Jason losses it! That’s understandable, but the unbelievable story that follows just falls apart. Just past the half way point there’s a huge “I see dead people” type twist, but even that slowly fades. Like I said, like Jason and his young co-star Isabela Merced, but they can’t save it (2 Stars).    

Odds and Ends: One of my older golf buddies who use to use Viagra swears that a table spoon of peanut butter a few hours before bedtime gets ‘er done. Just telling ya. … Britney Spears dad has filed new papers with the court that Britney suffers from serious addictions and her mental health issues have deteriorated, and he should remain in charge. … Little worried about Bob Odenkirk, said he was doing fine on August 7th, but nothing since.

A personal thought. Several times I have heard President Biden and his press secretary, “We will get out all Americans who want out of Afghanistan.” My question, what American wants to stay in Afghanistan?
