We just finished doing a marathon of Shogun 2024 on Hulu. The costuming and scenery were outstanding. They stuck closely to the storyline, but it's been so long since I read it, they may have enhanced a few events...like the earthquake scenes.
The female protagonist seemed to be stronger and more skilled than the one in the 1980 production.
Good to see Amazon Prime has picked up the AMC series Turn: Washington's Spies. Really enjoyed this a few years ago, will definitely re-watch. GREAT series.

We started "The Irishman" last night and couldn't take the constant piano riff in the background. It went on and on and never stopped. Very distracting and annoying. Because of that, we're not going to finish the movie.
Glad to hear Clint is alive and well. He made a lot of very astute real estate purchases in the Carmel/Mendocino area back in the day, and owns several homes up and down the Cali coast, in the desert and in HI. His kids are going to be instant multi-millionaires when he passes.
Evidently he was quite the philanderer in his youth. He winked at me when I was in a food line at lunchtime on Highlands Mt in Aspen…I was only 20.
I've loved him ever since, but I'm sure glad I didn't wink back. ;)

I read the book that is based on. I think the author has solved the Jimmy Hoffa case. He has some detractors, but he makes a compelling argument. He's a former prosecutor, I don't think he would arrive at his conclusion lightly. amazon.com
I hope you at least smiled back when Clint winked. :)
I had a brush with Hollywood when Candice Bergen patted me on the head and said "what a cute little boy." I don't remember it, I was four. That's what my mom tells me.
