Trafficked on Hulu looks fascinating (and maybe disturbing at the same time). "Award-winning journalist Mariana van Zeller investigates new emerging underworlds, including the trade in body parts, hired assassins, sextortion and the smuggling of people across the U.S.-Mexico border, to meet...

That sucks. Too young. Sounds like he was still very involved in a number of things including not only acting, but writing a book, etc. Lost his son in 2022 to suicide. :crying:

Watched Dying for Sex on Hulu over the past couple of evenings. Not entirely what I expected. Extremely well done. The last couple of episodes in particular are excellent.

Well, I saw the one here today. The one last October? I have no idea. I had to Google search just to recall what it was that I remembered seeing/hearing. I'm guessing I either heard it somewhere (radio, podcast, etc.) or saw something about it pop up on social media (most likely Instagram)...

I guess my thought is that, if people want to load up their drink with extra stuff, charge them. It's no different than Chipotle, I suppose, in that regard. Although, I would ask... Where do you draw the line? Guac is $3. But extra salsa is no charge. Extra pump of mocha syrup is 80 cents...

I swear it was just a few months ago that I read that they were waiving the extra fees for certain add-on's (like extra pumps of syrup, etc.). Seems weird that they would be flipping back to the reverse of that so soon. Edit: Actually, it was in October of last year that they announced that...

All the more reason to go there as little as possible. That said, I will occasionally "treat" myself to a blended iced drink (mocha frap or whatever) on a hot day like today. But, I usually order it with less syrup (their standard drinks are too sweet), and an extra shot of espresso (which...

Agreed. I think "impactful" might be a better word for that scene than "suspenseful." I remember vividly watching that scene in the theatre. I had a bucket of popcorn, and my buddy was about to dive into some nachos. For a good 10 minutes or so, neither of us touched the food in our laps...

That's awesome. :lol:

Holmes or CMC over LT or AP is laughable. Makes me wonder if the people putting together the list even watched the players in question.

Good catch. I actually just realized that Season 2 is not included with the basic Prime subscription, so I had to sign up for the 7-day free trial of MGM+ (now I just need to remember to cancel).

Really enjoyed the first season of the spy thriller Condor. Think Jack Ryan meets Night Agent. Maybe not exactly, but those two shows both came to mind as having some similarities. CIA analyst gets in over his head in terms of his involvement with a global conspiracy of sorts. Pretty good...

Will do. Thanks.

Will do. I'm going to call them soon and find out exactly how far in advance we can book (since we are not staying there). Right now, the consensus seems to be that Payne's Valley might not be worth the extra $200 over Ozark and Buffalo Ridge, but we're still discussing. There is one guy in...

4 out of 6 are in the Twin Cities area. We all grew up together in MN. I live in Ventura, CA, and the sixth lives up north (near Napa). We have actually talked about a road trip one of these years, but logistically it's tough, especially when it's already hard enough to find a 4-5 day stretch...
