NASCAR: I hate road courses; I won't be watching the races this weekend in Portland, OR.
College football: is Texas' season already over, after one game? Beaten decisively by Ohio State.
NFL's season opener: Dallas Cowboys vs Philadelphia Eagles (think Jim Cramer), Thursday night, September 4, 2025. Normally, Thursday night is an Amazon night but the opening game will be televised on NBC; streamed on Peacock.
Television: I'm in my "James Rockford" phase -- binge watching The Rockford Files on some streaming network, via Hulu / Amazon Fire Stick.
Road trip: tomorrow I'll be starting a road trip. Will be on the road for six days or so. All I can say is that it won't be "Route 66" but that's where I would prefer to be.
Oldest daughter: completed her week paddle boarding the Norwegian fjiords. Now in Germany visiting old friends, and then next week will be back home. To a new apartment. It's been a busy week.
Amazon (Prime) owns MGM but that doesn't mean the MGM library is "free" to Amazon Prime subscribers. If you're curious, ask ChatGPT. Bottom line: MGM is a wholly owned subsidiary of Amazon; the latter (Amazon) has monetized the MGM library. The MGM library-post 1986 is owned by Amazon.
MGM-post 1986: when asked the most "important" MGM-post 1986 movies, this was ChatGPT's answer:
- James Bond films (GoldenEye, 1995; Casino Royale, 2006, Skyfall, 2012, and, No Time To Die, 2021).
- The Silence of the Lambs, 1991;
- Legally Blond, 2001;
- The Rocky / Creek franchise, since 2006;
- The Handmaid's Tale, 2017 -- ;
- Vikings, 2013 & Vikings: Valhalla, 2022 -
- Tomb Raider, 2001, 2003, 2018;
- The Hobbit Trilogy, 2012 - 2014;
- The Pink Panther, 2006 & reboot IP
- Stargate, 1994 and spin-offs.
None of the MGM-post 1986 offerings above excite me; not in the least.
