A very different take on the Thor story from the Marvel guys - it's Norwegian made, and very not-Hollywood. On Netflix. Mrs. Phibes started watching it, and I ended up joining in. Still not quite sure about it, but it's interesting.
Ooh...just watched the trailer for season 1... that's next up for us. I can see the treatment and who the giants are.
Watched S1 E1 last night. Interesting, if a bit teen oriented. MFR did not like it because of the heart eating thing.

Geddouddahere. You were in Sudbury and didn't see the Big Nickel?
"On July 27, 1964, the park was officially opened. "
I would guess that I was 13 years old when we stayed up there, perhaps 14 on our second vacation. That park wasn't open then (I was born in 1950), and we only traveled to Sudbury one time, iirc. Our cottage was on the south shore of Lake Nipissing, and if we needed anything, we'd go to North Bay. Sudbury was a 60 mile drive.
And, after all, why go there?

Mrs. Phibes watches a lot of teen-oriented shows, although she denies this. Even my daughter thought it was a bit depressing, and she watches the bleakest stuff imaginable.

Clarkson's Farm on Amazon.
Jeremy Clarkson has owned a farm since 2008. Now he's decided to run it. The first episode was interesting, and funny.
He's hopelessly out of his depth, but is getting a fair bit of help from people who aren't.
Incidentally, my paternal Uncle lives about 20 minutes from Clarkson - I haven't seen him since my brother's christening in 1966. Family argument.

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

Thanks for the recommendation. Is he still an ass on this show?
He's still very much Jeremy Clarkson, but not nearly as much of an ass as normal - he needs to get a lot of help from the locals. I suspect he's more being himself than he is on Top Gear.

Is this the post where "twat" is appropriate?

It's worth watching just for Gerald in episode 2.

Just finished "Back to 1989", a Taiwan romantic comedy. It is about a guy who accidentally goes back to 1989, the year before he was born. He grew up never knowing who his father was, and his mother never spoke of him. She seemed bitter and unhappy since he has been growing up.
So, of course where he ends up in 1989, he meets his mother, etc.
Definitely not a classic, but a fun watch. I give it a "thumbs up"

Clarkson delivers a lamb.
"C'mon sheep!"
"I did a thing!"
"Look at that, no epidural, no shouting 'ow, ow, ow,' no yelling 'I hate you!'"
