What did you watch?

 Yesterday, just soaps:
 soaps: DOOL - Kristen's crazy mommy attacks Ava with a knife - I'm guessing they are going to write her out by sending her off to the funny farm. Melinda Trask (she's back!!) pretty much refuses to negotiate on giving the necklace back to Doug III - I think Holly The Brat then basically suggests that they steal it back. Jada catches Rafe up on the fact that EJ was almost certainly keeping him prisoner for months! - Rafe responds by rushing over to the mansion to strangle EJ! (hopefully to death!!).
    GH - Brook Lynn finally convinces NuNuLulu not to tell Dante about having a baby with Brook Lynn 2 decades ago - but at the end, Lulu runs right into Dante, so we'll see if she can manage to keep her mouth shut! It's revealed that Valentin is the one who sent the text message, because he wants Charlotte to go home to Port Charles - Anna and Jason show up, and stop a WSB "kill team" (strangely, they claimed they weren't working under Jack Brennan's orders!), allowing Jason to claim Charlotte and allowing Valentin to escape once again. Tracy and Drew battle over condemning(?) the Quartermaine crypt - Anna's granddaughter Emma needless inserts herself in this conflict (she is quickly becoming this show's most annoying character, which is really saying something!).
    Y&R - In captivity, Filis[sic!] is poisoned (this really is pointing in the direction of Ian Ward...), and Sharon has to solve a riddle to find the antidote. Nick and Billy compare notes, and work the "kidnapped" theory, and bond together, but are uncomfortable that they've bonded! Audra warns Nate not to trust Damien, and wants to "work" Holden for information, which makes Nate uncomfortable.
 That was it - I had too much other stuff to do yesterday, and when I didn't I played video games.
 

Speaking of video games, for anyone who still has a PS3 there is a new update available that's needed in order for the device to be able to keep playing blu-ray movies.  I have a PS3, but I don't really use it anymore.  It hasn't been turned on in years.  But I fired it up so I could download the update.  Now I'm tempted to turn it on again and play some games on it.

What did you watch?
 

I watched:
The Righteous Gemstones (HBO) - "Prelude" - Season 4, episode 1.  Danny McBride wrote and directed this prequel episode set during the Civil War and stars Bradley Cooper as a murderer, thief, and conman too.  Cooper plays "Elijah Gemstone" who at the start of the episode murders a local priest (Josh McDermitt) then steals his identity after being mistaken for the priest and drafted into the confederate army as a chaplain. Since Cooper's character's real name was "Gemstone" I couldn't tell if the modern day characters were his descendants or descendants of the murdered man who he swapped names with.  But my guess is they are Cooper's descendants and he went back to his real name at some point, but kept up using religion as a con.
In The Lost Lands (theatrical) New post apocalyptic fantasy movie directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, based on a short story by George R.R. Martin.  I'm going to cut to the chase, this movie was bad.  Like really, really bad.  The movie stars Milla Jovovich as a witch who is hired by the queen of the last remaining human city to travel into the Lost Lands and bring back a werewolf so the queen can get the werewolf's shapeshifting powers.  Jovovich hires Dave Bautista to guide her into the Lost Lands but the two are being hunted by religious zealots because reasons.  I'm watching this movie and thinking to myself there's only one city left on Earth and almost everyone lives there.  They know for a fact that Jovivich is coming back.  Why chase after her when they can just wait for her return?  Because then there wouldn't be a movie I guess.  Anyway, the only reason I made the trip to see this is because I had free tickets, and even then I can't say it was worth the trip to theater even to see it for free. Yeah, it was that bad!
