Simu Liu hosts a new competition series that finds reality TV veterans
and newbies living together in a mansion while competing to escape the
house with some or all of a cash prize—but the longer they stay in the
house, the more prize money is added to the pot. Eight episodes.

Your Friends & Neighbors       [new]        (12:01 am, Apple TV+)

Jon Hamm plays a hedge fund manager who, recently divorced and then
fired in disgrace, finds himself resorting to a life of crime by
breaking into his wealthy neighbors' homes. But their doors conceal
secrets and affairs that leave him in even greater danger. Amanda Peet,
Olivia Munn, Hoon Lee, and Mark Tallman also star. The first two
episodes (of 9) stream today, followed by weekly installments through
May 30, and Apple has already renewed the series for a second season.

reinstating nearly a half hour of footage removed from the original

I saw the original in the theater 36 (!) years ago and saw the special
edition years ago as well. The 4K is really not gonna do me any good but
since Disney+ is free still I’ll add it to my watchlist.

By the way, whoever wrote the article is a complete moron. This footage
wasn’t removed from the original. It wasn’t ever created in the first
place. Much of it is giant CGI waves attacking the beaches.

Now what I really want is the extended version of THE DEEP, which runs
something like an hour longer. But I’ve only ever seen it panned and

I'm waiting for the European version of INTO THE BLUE with Jessica Alba and
Jill Wagner nekkidly nude.

 At this point, I’d settle for INTO THE BLUE TWO ELECTRIC BOOGALOO with
classic Laura Vandervort and Marsha Thomason nudely nekkid.
