The Turner Classic Movies schedule is in the Links section of this site. There was no missing the station’s intention with Tuesday’s lineup. Bravo, TCM.
Here’s a good one that’s on TCM right now. The Spy in Black or, as it was called in the USA, U-Boat 29, was the first Powell/Pressburger collaboration.
Melania looked like she had just come from Jimmy Carter’s funeral. Goodnight, America.
And there’s this. How do the Evangelicals feel about it? If he doesn’t issue all of those “J6” pardons he promised, then we’ll know he’s signaling to his followers that he doesn’t need them anymore.
Update: Well, he did it. It wasn’t an insurrection to prevent the transfer of power. No, it wasn’t a riot, it was a love-in.

This is the country we must now live in. I place the blame on Mitch McConnell for allowing it to happen.
Trump must be worried about the effect of the cold weather on the crowd size at Monday’s inauguration. The ceremony has been moved indoors, where the place will be packed, even with a much smaller turnout.

Two well-regarded TV series I didn’t watch were Succession, available on HBO Max (that I have) and Severance on Apple TV+ (that I don’t have). As happened years ago with Breaking Bad, my interest in Severance was piqued by Stephen Colbert’s praise for the series.
With season 2 of Severance about to premiere, season 1 is now available for free on the Roku Channel.

I binge-watched all nine episodes over the weekend. I’m now considering the 90-day Apple TV+ trial to catch season 2. Succession has almost 40 episodes over four seasons. That’s a big commitment I’m not ready to make yet.
Ben Stiller would be an excellent guest at the Star Trek Original Series Tour in Ticonderoga, New York.
