Finished the Princess Royal. An enjoyable watch. I noted that for once, at least in the Cdramas I've watched so far, the ML actress is younger than the ML actor. She's 21, just graduated, to his 20 plus years. Most of the time, the lead actress tend to be much older than the male lead (30s or early 40s to 20/30s). Likely because of their experience in playing young and older roles. That they maintain their looks and physical fitness far better than actors is also another factor.
On the search for another drama, I peeped into another drama that I like rather well. Eternal Love, jumping eps. Have to 🤣 at the expression of the high God when told that the only one whom crown prince loves is the mortal woman and that she has killed herself by jumping into the immortal well so there's no one left to help the crown prince regain consciousness.
His expression said; but the mortal woman is the goddess Bai Qian, she can't be killed. You're all blind idiots, not knowing who's been living with you all this while.
However, knowing that Bai Qian is undergoing a mortal trial, he didn't bother to explain and left.

2.5 years later and PeteComplete finally completes his YouTube play-through of XCOM2. Immaculate performance, one of the best runs I've seen, of any game. Hardest difficulty and nails it all. Barely takes a hit and never comes close to losing a soldier. He's honest about the few mistakes he makes, the various bugs he encounters, and just generally plays a magnitude of order better than anyone else I've seen. While I like XCOM:EW and Long War I don't really play them all that much, and never bothered with XCOM2 at all. Was fun to finally see the end. Despite a billion YouTube suggestions suggesting I watch already finished runs of the game I stuck with this one and got no regrets. He went so far as to do the "Who Needs Tygan" achievement on the finale mission. (The achievement that means you can't use any upgrades. Weapons/armor/ammo/etc.)
Shame it looks like XCOM3 either won't happen or won't be up to snuff. Regardless, feels like watching the ending of a 2.5 season show.

Try that without the space between the colon and the hyphen. It's grandfathered into a broken link. (Which is weirdly a good thing, IMHO.)

Rewatching the last bits of Last Immortal. Also came across this;
Kudos to this actress, Zhao Liying, for doing the spear fights herself. Any actor or actress who steps up is 👍👍👍👍👍 The apparatus is also used by mocap animators for anime in games, etc.

Got a few things going on right now. Started the final season of SEAL Team, watched the original Dragonball Broly movie,and continuing on with Arrow, finished season 2...about halfway through season 3 actually. SEAL Team is off to a pretty good start. I will admit I may not be entirely invested in it yet, not in the second episode...had a few things on my mind. And the first ep was kind of tough. I have a bad precedent with this which is hanging over this show. Last military spec ops show I watched, the Unit...was never exactly as good as SEAL Team but was still pretty descent. But its final season was kinda horrible. A few cases of character assassination and just wonky plots and it ended off in a very awkward state...kind of one of those cliff hanger non cliff hanger things. Anyways though the sword of damocles is indeed hanging over this show because think this is by far the best military show I have seen so I have a lot invested in it and don't want to see it suffer. And well its off to a bit of an awkward start in some ways, bit tough to watch, but in this case so far they are really acting in character. And of course there is a lot of tension in this show because lots of Alpha personalities that are dealing with an annoying situation and they are lashing out. Its handled so well and the newbie on the team actually really brings something interesting to the dynamic, a 'lone wolf' SEAL with a an air of mystery to him. Its so obvious what they are going to do with him...lets see if they pull it off. Stil, without spoiling things too much still love these characters so much and the sense of professionalism too much. Because of everything they are in the middle of tearing into each other, in a non friendly way, but then a situation happens and instantly they go into go mode. What follows in episode 2 was some of the best concentrated action that the show has had, which is saying something. Also really loving the Lisa Davis sub plot so far. Some weird potential political inserts going on in both plots but A. her personal antagonist referenced Dick Marcinko which is hilarious considering I am well aware of who he is and just read one of his books and B. I love how she dealt with the problem at the end of episode 2 by meeting them half way and putting her proposal in terms they'd understand. Magnificent. Arrow season 2 meanwhile can really see why it ends up as one of my favorites. Not most favorite but a strong third. Some of the episodes of the week were...weak. But the overarchign plot with Slade and everything going on and all the climaxes and him out foxing Slade and the tunnel fight and the character stuff at play and the continuing to turn a one man crusade into a movement...all peak. Season 3 though builds off on that and, well should talk about it more when I get to the end of season 3...but season 3 just begins with pure perfection. Team Arrow is humming like a well oiled machine, Starling (I refuse to call it Star) is having a massive crime reduction. Things are really for one of the few times in the show going very well for Oliver and company, but then things go to crap. Count Vertigo is running around, again, (annoying but it serves its purpose), Oliver tries to date Felicity and promptly gets blown up, his being exposed to Vertigo reveals his deepest fear as himself, again the Vertigo stuff is sometimes shit but it serves to establish his arc for the season, and Sarah dies which sets off the main conflict of the season. So yeah big fan of Season 3 as well and I know a lot of people aren't...but goodness this is peak. Other then the episode I watched tonight which introduces one of Oliver's worse villains and is also later responsible for maybe the worse episode in Arrow history so that was fun. The Broly movie. Was pretty fun. sometimes I don't know what it is about movies but sometimes they have trouble keeping my interest. Started really strong but kind of got weak towards the end. The Broly v GOku fight did feel like it dragged on and the humor here was really awkward. Though on the bright side there was some terrific visuals and animations, and some good character moments from Vegeta and Goku...though kind of a shame that Trunks got sidelined. Did get Deus Ex Picolo which is fun though.

Stepped back into an old movie. I remembered I saw this over the tv than in the cinema back then. Police Story, 1985. One of Jackie Chan's movies. JC is the King of parkour, kung fu, fight choreography and comedy. There's no one like him. He and the cadre of the Peking Opera School are the last of their kind of the 60s. They often appear in Hong Kong movies and in the years after 2000s, gradually disappear except for JC and Michelle Yeoh who started out as a stunt actor. There are others who try to emulate him but no one today take risks and injuries like him. His demands of the stuntmen are very high. They must be fast, take real knocks or they're out. Filming a single confrontation can take a month or more. And they did it without insurance because no insurance company wished to sign them up. It's always a little difficult to keep up with the fights sometimes because they move so fast. Nevertheless, the movie is enjoyable and feisty.

I am still watching Stargate SG1. I think it was season 6 when Daniel more or less dropped out. The actor wanted some more screen time, so he left for a lot of episodes. Too bad that he came back, because he is always trying to mimic Jack's (annoying macho) mannerisms. I am now somewhere in season 9 and Jack, Samantha and George are gone now too (but sometimes get a cameo). The episodes get predictable in the later seasons, so I skip large parts now. I think seasons 1 through 6 are the best so far. I enjoyed those the most.

A lot of great scenes in that movie but my favourite has to be with Jamie Lee Curtis (daughter of the late, great Tony Curtis who played with Sidney Poitier in only 1 movie, The Defiant Ones, which is ground-breaking for the time and now considered a classic) but anyways, back to Jamie Lee Curtis.....Where she's in the bedroom doing this stripper routine, she's so clumsy!

According to this he wanted to leave the show, because he felt his character was "underutilized". The truth lies probably somewhere in the middle.

I'm going to re-watch Dune 2 soon, today.
I haven't watched many truly good movies since Harvey Weinstein went to jail. 🤔
'You Were Never Really Here', 'Joker', 'Sicario', 'Sicario 2', 'Dune', 'Dune 2' are the only ones that come to mind right now. 🤔

Yes indeed great movie. That "stripper routine" scene also reminded me of this scene from Babylon 5 where Susan had to have sex with an alien but she convinced him to do it earth style phew ... she was sooooooo lucky when he said yes.

Always On the Move, Cdrama contemporary Story is focused on a small village, the cops and the train engineers who work on the trains. Wang Xin is a rookie cop who has a mentor, Ma Kui, assigned to him. Although there were some personal clashes of misunderstanding from Wang Xin, the two gradually gel into a team as they help passengers on the trains; thefts, lost items, human trafficking, drugs, etc. The close knit bond of the villagers, the two men's relationships with the people they help is tracked through the 60s to the 2000s. Along the way, the trains evolved from steam locomotive to present day bullet trains. It's a very good story, down to earth, with the right dose of humour, tracking the lives and difficulties of the villagers, the two men and the people they know. I have to when the two men bickered over the American tv show; Man from Atlantis. That's so with the times.
