WTF. I was watching Ozark on Netflix through Verizon and it got interrupted by a test of the emergency broadcast system.
No, screw you. That nonsense is not supposed to be on Netflix!

I've watched the first two episodes of Agents of SHIELD Season 5 on Netflix (I dropped the show when it became about the Nazi matrix, although I watched the last episode of Season 4 when it aired because I loved the Ghost Rider half of the season). Its certainly...something. I already know the main plot is going to be rendered pointless at the end when they fix everything, and the new characters kind of suck, but it is a big step up from making Coulson & crew into Nazi's in the matrix, at least.
Last night, I watched a *brilliant* one-man show on PBS' Great Performances-- Taylor Holland's performance as the late Gov. Ann Richards, in "Ann."
I just LOVED Ann Richards. She was a force of nature--probably the best human being to sit in the Texas Governor's chair, possibility the funniest, and definitely the toughest.

The Final Girls at the moment.
Well, been making my way through Narcos over on Netflix. I'm really enjoying this show. I cannot believe I passed on this when it was first run. The acting is very good with a compelling story. I remember some of the key plot points from the news in my younger days.. Recommended (for adults).
I just watched Brother Bear. It was...ok. It never really annoyed me, and the animation was pretty good, so I guess I'd call it an inoffensive movie. The Phil Collins music really sucked though, I liked his Tarzan score well enough but he did not work well with this material. Brother bear is not as good as the movie right before it (Treasure Planet, which was not amazing but it was pretty solid) but it is a hell of a lot better then the next two Disney animated films (Chicken Little and Home on the Range). I wouldn't really recommend Brother Bear because its just kind of bland, but if you like Disney movies you won't have a bad time, you probably just won't remember much after you watch it.
I've generally enjoyed the new version of Match Game hosted by Alec Baldwin, but there's three areas where I kind of find it lacking:
- Because it's weekly rather than daily and the celeb panel is usually totally different every week, you don't have that consistency of banter that you had in the '70s Match Game with Gene Rayburn, Richard Dawson, Brett Somers, and Charles Nelson Reilly.
- Baldwin is kind of smarmy in a way that Rayburn wasn't.
- Even though the panelists feel free to use words like "pussy" and "dick" and drop occasional F-bombs (all of which get bleeped/blurred before broadcast), the '70s version seemed dirtier because they couldn't say those things, they had to dance around them. But for people today to dance around those words would seem sort of twee, so I don't know that there's anything you can do about that.
The weirdest thing. I finally got around to watching Amadeus after my brother got it as a gift for me a couple years ago.
I was just watching it and suddenly 2/3 of the way through it just stops. 103 minute mark. If you go into scene selection it stops there too.
It’s almost like the disc was originally a two disc set and he bought it used from someone who only included disc one.
Is Amadeus on any streaming services?

That definitely sucks. It sounds like your brother might have found a copy of the Director's Cut, which runs around three hours and is split across two DVDs (with some special features on the second disc).
Unfortunately it doesn't look like anyone has it available to stream for free, though you can rent it for $3.99 from the usual sources (Amazon, Google Play, iTunes, YouTube, VUDU).
I'm about six episodes into Brooklyn Nine-Nine on Hulu after having watched Castle Rock and Solar Opposites.
Probably checking out Girl on a Train later, possibly followed by The Firm.
