I watched the new Road House last night.
It was similar to the Patrick Swayze original version. There was a bar called the Double Deuce like in the original, but the Double Deuce played no role in the new release.
There was action and fighting like the original.
And of course there was strict DEI oversight, lots of girls and people favored by the woke. The old white men were stupid or in jail, or both, good that's where they belong.

I find "alternate universe" stories not too interesting.
I actually like these. 555 There are some good Asian dramas which I like which follow this concept.

You might like "Awake". It was made in 2012 (tv show), with an underrated actor [Jason Isaacs]. The plot is summarized below. It's only 13 episodes (my wife says I curse TV shows by liking the ones that often get canceled).
After getting in a car accident with his wife and teenage son, Detective Michael Britten finds himself alternating between two different realities. One minute he is navigating a world where his son survived but his wife perished and the next he is in another reality in which his wife is the one that survived. In order to keep both loved ones alive, Britten begins living in dueling realities. To try to regain some normalcy in his life, the detective returns to solving crimes in both worlds, with a different partner in each.

Watched S3E1 of The Bear. Beautiful cinematography, very artsy, pointless. Olivia Coleman"? Really?

Exactly. Each episode has some of that dreamy stuff. I mean, how many times can we watch Carm put some unknown herb on a tiny piece of meat...with tweezers.
The best episode of the season was the one which shows Tina's backstory. The worst was the one which shows Natalie in labor.
By the way, Colman's restaurant, "Ever," is a real thing.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Watched Luther: Fallen Sun. It takes itself seriously, but gets so ridiculous it took me out of it sometimes. It got reasonably good reviews, which surprised me. It's probably better than most of what's made these days. 60 year old Andy Serkis played a character that the movie tells you with a straight face is "in his 40s". Nope, doesn't look like it, not even close.

@George-K were watching the Tina episode now. I think you liked it because it had Italian beef.

Of course.
But it's one of the few episodes this season that told us something we didn't know ... restauranting is hard, food is fancy, etc.
Good to see David Zayas again.
Wait till Natalie goes into labor.

Been watching ‘Suits’. The plot elements are a bit repetitive and the writers are lazy AF but Mayla likes it and it somehow manages to stay entertaining.
Not the best endorsement, I realize.

Suits is TV popcorn. It got a little weird at times...like

click to showBut can you watch it not thinking about Markhle being the Duchess (or whatever she is)?
There used to be a Twitter (Facebook?) user who used the name "Gabriel Macht's Mole."

Just finished The Bear S3. Artful, but did not move the story along at all. Lots of character exposition, but truly artful writers do that in the context of the story. 400 wasted minutes to beat me over the head with things I pretty much already knew. Jamie Lee Curtis should get an Emmy for her work.

Yeah, but one gets tired of all the "artful" stuff after about 2 episodes.
Curtis was great, but what was the point of that episode? A potential reconciliation?
