#NowWatching We just finished season 3 of “The Diplomat.” A solid C-. They take 3 episodes of plot and stretch it into 8 episodes. Tedious relationship drama interferes with what could have been a much tighter show. #TheDiplomat

#NowReading I just finished “The Uncool,” a memoir by Cameron Crowe. Very enjoyable I grew up reading his writing for Rolling Stone and other rock mags. I’ve also enjoyed his movies… “Say Anything”, “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” and especially “Almost Famous.” A likeable and touching story.

We saw “One Battle After Another“ in IMAX last week. It was one of the best movies I’ve seen in years. The most original movie I’ve seen since “Pulp Fiction“ and I predict a sweep of the Oscars… Best picture, director, script, actor, supporting actor, and score. #OneBattleAfterAnother
