Naturally the movie opens with a quote from Hamlet. Because, why not?

That could be a trivia question for DR Rodzinski’s group.

Here's an interesting one: My Instacart order from yesterday from Walmart included some Tillamook beef sticks that come in a plastic container with a screw-off and on top. So, I just opened it to try one - as you know, all containers like that have a cardboard or aluminum security top that you have to remove, just so you know no one has been in there. Well, someone had been in there, all right, cut the aluminum and then either grabbed a few or did who knows what else to them - I wasn't about to find out. I called Instacart, they gave me an instant credit, I placed the order for just that item and they'll deliver it - total cost to me for the delivery - .49.

Nice that Instacart customer service was helpful.

TRACKER hasn't had new episodes in over two months, but it started up with a new episode this week. I guess it was on the network last night, because the new episode showed up streaming today. It's an exciting show, and it's good to have it back with new episodes.

In other streaming adventures, having just watched the first two episodes of SEVERANCE, we're having trouble getting into the series, which is apparently very popular.

ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL had yet another fine episode, with the darkness of the lead character's guilt over being let out of military service mixing well with the overall heartwarming nature of the show.

But that show's current season will be over soon. I'll miss it during the long wait for the next season.

I reserved the season today at the library.

The new Criterion release of Winchester 73 looks great, but the extras are not altogether interesting. There is a short documentary on Anthony Mann’s movies with James Stewart. It features a lot of talking heads and a lot of info.
