Watched the Ivan Ortega early re-edit of The Last Jedi. It has more of the feel of the original trilogy instead of the 'subverting expextations' shite that Rian Johnson tried to peddle to the fans and once he gets the additional footage filmed that he is intending to add in for the final edit it will be spot on. If Kennedy and the rest of the Lucasfilm senior management had any sense they would hire him on to try and fix the mess that the more recent films have become as it shows what happens when a fan works on the franchise.
The universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements. Energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest.

Started listening to this on Audible last night, Dr Denis Leary writes a self help book. It's safe to say that while he may not be doing the hyperactive motormouth bit any more age hasn't mellowed Denis in the slightest and given what I've listened to so far I can pretty much guarantee that some people will take offence to a lot of what he says. That being said I'm hoping he records the other 2 in the series as well.  Thumbs:

Watching Apollo 11...

Quote from: IMDB Reviewer
Todd Douglas Miller's documentary Apollo 11 is a rich buffet of restored footage, clever image juxtaposition, and ingenious lip reading. There is SO MUCH newly-released footage, one gets the impression that 1/4 of the mission weight must've been cameras and film! Where have these images been for fifty years? There's no narration... just sounds and voices from the mission, peppered with occasional contemporaneous commentary from Walter Cronkite's legendary broadcasts. The film is a beautiful, visceral thrill ride, lovingly constructed, without aggrandizement... yet emotions soar. This is what America once was, and what it could be again, and I absolutely do not mean that in any jingoistic sense.
