Starting to get back into the swing of normal summer (work) life.
Yesterday, I ran errands, and watched:
soaps: GH - I think last Fri's ep. Brook Lynn is jealous when she spies
a friendly moment between Gio and NuNuLulu. Dante makes an overture to
Gio - I was disappointed when Gio didn't bounce Dante out on his ass.
Alexis goes to Lizzie when she finds out that Lizzie knows that Kristina
was responsible for the car accident. Natalia (Booby Vista) tells Marco
that she's leaving town, and Marco warns her that Sonny is leading her
on and is going to kill her (I really hope that happens - it would be an unexpected plot development). Cody continues working to seduce Ava, who
is getting paranoid about Ric's interest in Lizzie. Ric refuses to take Martin Gray on as a client, and the hospital informs him that his
medical insurance has lapsed!
Y&R - Catching up an episodes I missed (from about 2 weeks ago?...). These mostly concerned the revelation that "Aristotle Dumas" is in fact
the returned Cane Ashby (recast with DOOL's Billy Flynn - sidenote:
what's weird about this is that Cane's original portrayer, Daniel
Goddard, has a very infrequent recurring role on GH right now, so
Goddard must have turned down coming back to Y&R), which blindsides esp. Lily.
I watched the first(?) two-and-a-half episodes of "High Potential" with Kaitlin Olson - I fell asleep during the third episode, and threw in the towel then and went to bed... Anyway, this show isn't breaking any new
ground - it's in the "genius observationist mystery solver" sub-genre - though I found especially the pilot to be much more "up with people!1!"
than, say, "The Mentalist" - for these kinds of shows I prefer the dark
or snarky cynicism of shows like "The Mentalist" or "Psych" to a 'girl
power' version of this like "High Potential"... Anyway, this is
watchable (the show has a continuing "meta" storyline concerning the
mystery of Olson's character's missing first husband(?)) - the
supporting cast is good - though I doubt I'm going out of my way to
watch it.

I watched:
HOGAN'S HEROES:
That show confused me as a kid. I didn't understand why they were called "prisoners" when they seemed to move around freely and do whatever they wanted. :-)
I watched Jumanji. I didn't see it when it came out, because the
advertising made it look like they were all pulled into the game and
just had a dopey adventure.
It's a good movie. It explored some themes about trust and growing up,
and I liked Alan's realization that his "evil and abusive" father did
love him.
I'm not sure it was wise for the older two to go back to 1969. They get another chance at their youths, but it's at the cost of the younger
two's existence. Things will go differently this time, so it's likely
they'll never be born.
gone on from where they were, as real life requires.
That's a minor point, though. It's a great movie overall.

Did you catch the same actor played both the father and the big-game hunter?

I watched:
Ironheart (Disney+) - The final 3 episodes dropped. "Bad Magic,"
"Karma's a Glitch," and "The Past Is the Past." I read a comment after
the first three episodes where someone speculated the series was
originally supposed to be 8 episodes but got retooled into 6. Now that
I've watched the back 3, it does feel like they turned 8 into 6.
Overall, I guess it was OK. But I was half joking during the first
three when I said Ironheart was being written as a villain. These back
three didn't really change that perspective. Characters in the show
were even calling her out as not being a hero, with everything she did
being for her own selfish reasons. And off the top of my head, I can't
think of anything she did that wasn't for her own selfish reasons. Then
to top it off in the finale she willingly fbyq ure fbhy gb gur qrivy.
Yes, she actually did that, and then the show ended.

No, that escaped me. Thanks for pointing it out. It adds a layer.
I like Jumangi now a lot more than I did when it first came out. ButI
still think the sequel, "Zathura: A Space Adventure" is better. It's
I'll look for that, after I've digested this one a little.
