She hosted The Great British Bake Off, Junior EditionI liked the premise but not the execution. The Langham is a ultra highend hotel that would command and expect top tier chef talent for its 2 Michelin star restaurant; one with a huge CV of “five star” experience. It was obvious none of these clowns had any business winning the show, from either talent or leadership. The winner is featured on the Langham website but who knows, it could be like Hells Kitchen where many winners don’t actually get the promised job, just a check to hit the road.

I had trouble sticking out the first season. I doubt I will even try the second. It's a good premise, but the acting to me is poor and while there's some eye candy, there's lots of just dumb stuff to offset it. I will say they do spread the idiocy around well though, the only one who seems halfway bright is the cop lady. Edited July 17, 20232 yr by pyrohornIII the/they
July 17, 20232 yr Anybody else watch Suits? I watched all of it. I thought it was ok, but it made me nostalgic for LA Law and Boston Legal. I liked the cinematography with all the drone shots of NYC and street scenes.

July 18, 20232 yr The Wham! documentary was well done and worth watching. Brought back a lot of memories as a kid who grew up in the 80s. New found respect for Andrew Ridgeley after watching it. Watched this tonight and really enjoyed it. I would be interested in a follow up on how their relationship went after the break up. They obviously were hugely indebted to each other, albeit for different reasons.

July 21, 20232 yr Finally got around to “Beef” this week. I don’t think the phrase “should have been a movie” has ever been more apt.Just stupid people doing stupid shit just to keep a story going. The Isaac character and actor were terrible.At least Maria Bello is still smoke.

Very gracious.
July 21, 20232 yr Whatever you do, don’t waste your time with In From The Cold. It’s really stupid and I watched all eight episodes just to be sure.
July 21, 20232 yr Something called They Cloned Tyrone is out, with John Boyega and Jamie Foxx. 95% on RT. You now know as much as I do.

I mean I still do think all that, but genuinely like Kirk now. Came across as a genuinely good guy. Re Mariota, I'm stunned he got another chance this year. He kind of broke the cardinal rule of professional team sports and it's not like he has skins on the wall to get a second chance.
July 22, 20232 yr The Deepest Breath doc was great. Kind of a Free Solo vibe, just going down instead of up.

July 23, 20232 yr “Gunther’s Millions” is a ride, man.A German Shepherd and his descendants worth millions, tax fraud and evasion, a sex cult, a crazy Italian proto-Andrew Tate and a fake Countess.And I haven’t even finished!
July 23, 20232 yr Lord.I’ve finished.Add to the list eugenics, wanting to breed dogs to birth human infants, porn stars, a dog buying Madonna’s house and lies upon lies.Definitely worth a watch.

July 24, 20232 yr Just watched In the Shadow of the Moon. It was a pretty interesting sci-fi thriller. It was released in 2019 and it appears to be getting more relevant every year
July 24, 20232 yr Watched Bird Box Barcelona. Starts with a good premise and then wastes it by having the characters make horrible decisions every five minutes to advance the plot. If there is an apocolypse, be sure to: - never carry a weapon, so you can't defend yourself from the bad guys - if you are hiding from bad guys in a city with no electricity, be sure to light candles by an exterior window. The bad guys probably won't see it. - if the evil thing makes lots of noise when approaching and kills you when you look at it, don't try to leave or walk away when you hear it approaching. Stay still so it can walk up to you. - Everyone in your group should sleep next to each other, so it's easier to get killed together. Why make the bad guys work harder by spreading out? - if your goal is to get to a castle on the top of a hill, definitely plan to get there by cable car. Cause a cable car will definitely work after no one has used it for 9 months and there's no electricity. That's a much better plan than driving there or walking to the top of the hill.

July 24, 20232 yr The Deepest Breath is about competitive free diving. It’s fascinating and terrifying. I can’t imagine diving down into the abyss to 100+ meters on a single breath.Fun fact: their lungs compress to about the size of a pinto ban at those depths.Interesting personalities and some beautiful cinematography.Hold Your Breath: the Ice Dive is about free diving under frozen rivers. Horrifying. Not as good.

Lung capacity is reduced according to depth. If your lung compresses to the size of a pinto bean, you die.

Still holds the womens world record for no limits free dive of 525 feet (Turks and Caicos). I remember reading that she could hold her breath for seven minutes. I'm not sure how that compares to today's free divers but it's pretty insane to the average Joe.

July 25, 20232 yr Deepest Breath Spoiler I have so many questions about the death of the former woman’s record holder. The old Russian lady. She just never resurfaced? Um…what? Because she ran out of air, did she sink?

July 25, 20232 yr Deepest Breath was really good. I spearfish but have a max depth of 40 feet but I usually stay at 20feet or less. 300+ feet freedives are insane. Double insane without fins. Neonmoon, it was said earlier in the show that once you get past 60 feet that you sink. Allesia said that's her favorite part of a dive and to me it would be the scariest. Basically after that point you have to work to get back up.

I'm not sure how that compares to today's free divers but it's pretty insane to the average Joe. CSB: I remember a few years ago I was dabbling in the Wim Hoff method just to see what it was all about. For those not familiar, it is basically a two step method of stress to reinvigorate the body and connect it back to its evolutionary/genetic roots or some shit. The first part of the method involves cold water plunges on a regular basis. It's more than that but that is the basic premise. Part two is an involved breathing method that has some similarities to hyperventilating which is done daily. Again, it is more involved than that but that is the overall deal. I did not do cold water plunges since I didn't have a means to do them, so I substituted cold showers. I did the breathing for about 10 days and started off with being able to hold my breath for about 90 seconds. After day 10 it was over 5 minutes. I also lost like 7lbs. Some people pass out during the breathing excercises so they recommend not doing them in the open water. Can't imagine going to that depth tho.

July 28, 20232 yr I believe they said over 200 people have died attempting that arch dive. The number of attempts has to be pretty small. Hey divers: Maybe skip that one.
July 29, 20232 yr Wow. Bombshell: Hedy Lamarr Story was great. About halfway through I was like, meh, is this really legit? Then they wrap it up at the end with everyone confirming shit and it's like...damn.
July 30, 20232 yr Pretty disappointed in S3 of The Witcher. The CGI isn't great. The writing seems lazy to me. Maybe I'm the only one.
