Did a rewatch of SICARIO: DAY OF THE SOLDADO which was a revisit to
the same team we saw in the previous movie. This time the starter
event was a terrorist bombing in Kansas that appears to have been done
by people that crossed the Mexico border and been at least partially
funded by a Mexican cartel. This leads the US to decide to start a war
between the cartels by doing various things. There's a number of
events that occur in the movie that shows how you can never trust the
government to have your back. Good movie and well worth watching, but
don't go in expecting lots of action. There is some but it's more a
mood movie with some great mood setting music.

Yeah, this flick is mostly good. I just don't like the ending much.

What did you watch?

I'm trying to finally break the back of my remaining "grading pile", and yesterday I may have made some good progress on that. But, as a result, I didn't watch much TV. I only got through:
soaps: DOOL - Sloan tells EJ that the baby isn't his, but that it's Nicole's with Eric, and at first he doesn't believe her, but by the end I think EJ came around and has decided to keep things mum. Meanwhile, Nicole seemed to be dreaming of being with Eric. I think Eric and Sloan buried the hatchet after EJ left. There were some weird, awkward scenes where Jada and Rafe talked about Jordan Ridgeway - are they bringing her back?! (I thought she was dead!) Everett (as Everett!) publishes the story about Paulina's radioactive antics, and then flirts with dumb Stephanie; but later "Bobby" takes over, and he can't get away from Stephanie fast enough! and starts hitting on random women at the bar! Johnny and Chanel talk about what to do about their potentially radiation-damaged potentially "fish baby" fetus.
And that was pretty much it - otherwise I left LMN on in the evening, and did some grading.
