What's On Tonight (Wednesday): Anna Kendrick seeks Love to the Max

Love Life

Hi! Tonight AT&T's WarnerMedia enters the streaming wars with the well-dressed and well-mannered HBO Max, which is HBO plus... a bunch of other stuff from Warner properties and partners. (I don't really get the name choice and long-term branding strategy.) Anyway, the single adult live-action original series in its ocean of library content is the anthology Love Life where Anna Kendrick spends a season searching for true love. Reviews have been mixed, but I like Anna. Are all 10 episodes dropping today? I don't know. If Ms Kendrick isn't your thing, there are also new Looney Tunes, kids making crafts, ballroom competitions, British comedies, and Elmo. Or, ya know, HBO stuff. Or WB stuff. Friends. Big Bang. And literally hundreds of movies -- finally, Citizen Kane, Police Academy 5: Assignment Miami Beach, and Mamma Mia!: Here We Go Again are in one place! (Sadly, the Warner Archive isn't really mined.) I'm going all-in on HBO Max because its future premieres are going to be on Thursdays.

Elsewhere, Netflix thinks we need a Jeffrey Epstein docuseries, the ERA is defeated, General Ulysses S. Grant is elected president, Nandor's familiar from the 1970s returns, Phil Coulson and company are back for a final season, Amy Sedaris hosts a Valentine's Day mixer, and Don Cornelius tries to manage his hit show Soul Train. Suffering succotash, here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, May 27!

In a normal year it's really nice out the week before Memorial Day and then the temperature plunges on Friday (when my pool would have normally opened) and the sun disappears for a week. This year of course it is eighty degrees and sunny. Perfect pool weather. My pool remains tantalizingly full (of water) and empty (of people). We might be in lockdown but elsewhere the party rages. I'm getting tired of saying this but people will die. [WOT] [CNN]

Another week and all that's happened in sports in the US is that people have died and Ryan Braun  put his condo that's 2 and a half blocks west of me up for sale. Yeah I don't really care about that either although I'm amused that he's had a nice view of my place for a couple of years. I hope he enjoyed that more than I did.

My pool is full of warm salt water. It sits there. Taunting me. If it were allowed I would not go in it.

What's On Tonight (Monday): "Grant" Is History Channel's New Miniseries About Ulysses S. Grant

Via Tenor

You know TV is cooking when I'm recommending a miniseries about the life and times of Ulysses S Grant. If they're calling this "Grant" then what are they gonna call their miniseries about Cary Grant? Oh the problems they havn't even thought of when they titled this one! Anyways Happy Memorial Day!!!!!!!! Eat Some Hot Dogs!!!!! This is What's On for May 25th 2020

Box Office Flashback April 24/May 1, 2020

Late April has usually been a dumping ground, as its rare that the studio would want to throw out a movie they expected to do well only a week or two before the arrival of the first summer blockbusters.  Before the beginning of the summer movie season moved definitively to the first Friday in May (and occasionally to the last Friday of April), early May was also a dumping ground.  But gird your loins.  The summer movie season is about to begin (and in some cases, is beginning).

Sorry for the week delay.  We're continuing to move on to finally catching up!
