Christmas Day was partly a travel day for me, so we just watched football and movies:
football - We didn't see the first game (Kansas City blew out the Steelers! yay!!), but we did see the second where the Ravens just absolutely *mauled* the Texans, who managed all of 2 points in the entire game on a defensive safety - the rest of the game, the Ravens offense just had their way with things.
    A couple of points: Netflix still hasn't perfected live broadcasting, though this wasn't a disaster like the Mike Tyson-Jake Paul fight was - but it seemed like they had sound syncing issues (this might have been partly on our end, but our experiment with a browser stream had the same issue, so I think it was a Netflix issue) and occasional visual artifacts. Also, Beyonce's halftime show seemed to go on forever (it seemed longer than a Superbowl halftime show!!) - while I've seen worse than this, my brother hated it! Ha!
Movies:
Land of Bad (Netflix) - I'm not sure how I had never heard of this 2024 spec ops flick before, as apparently it did get a theatrical release in early 2024.
    Liam Hemsworth stars as an Air Force... go between(?) between a special ops team (Milo Ventimiglia, Luke Hemsworth, and Ricky Whittle) and the drone pilot/operator (Russell Crowe) - the team is on an op in the Philippines, while Crowe is on an air force base just outside of Las Vegas.
    As is usual, the op goes wrong when their rescue mission gets sidetracked/waylaid by terrorists striking their intended target. While Liam Hemsworth thinks the rest of his team is dead, Crowe has to use the drone to get Hemsworth safely to a helicopter pickup point.
    This was a pretty good spec ops flick, though I thought the ending was too "over-the-top Hollywood".
Unfrosted (Netflix) - A very silly but very fun 2024 Netflix flick from Jerry Seinfeld about the "cereal wars" between Kellogg's and Post that led to the creation of Pop-Tarts (and the eventual failure of Post's rival "Country Squares" product) in the early 1960s.
    Hey, they get Jon Hamm and John Slattery from "Mad Men" to cameo!!
    This was, I'm sure, in no way historically accurate, but it was pretty amusing. It's nice to see that Seinfeld can put out something funny without Larry David.
We then watched "Zoolander" which I haven't seen in quite few years. Still hilarious.
