Some quick thoughts and tips from the mind of your humble host... The newest James Bond film, No Time To Die, is a fine entertainment that provides both richness and thrills, and very intentional echoes of Bond's finer, past adventures... Marvel's Eternals also takes a richer, more nuanced approach than past MCU films and I think most viewers will find that at least somewhat interesting... In Robert B. Parker's Stone's Throw, Mike Lupica has once again shown that he is perfectly at home with Robert Parker's characters, as police chief Jesse Stone tries to solve the murder of his town's mayor, and figure out why a proposed land deal is causing other deaths, too... Stuart Woods' third Stone Barrington novel, Dead in the Water, opens up the series (which I've just discovered) in fresh new ways- starting with its tropical locale- and was probably a reason that the series is still going strong today, more than twenty-five years after it started... The Hulu mini-series Only Murders in the Building, starring Steve Martin and Martin Short, is a terrific light whodunit, set in an elegant Manhattan apartment building. No one actually lives like these people, but that's, well, actually part of the fun... And is anyone watching Seinfeld, yet again, now that it has returned to Netflix? Sigh, I am, and it's still just as much fun as always... end of ticker tape. More to come, but probably via more traditional multi-paragraph structure.
