Free Solo - Documentary film about Alex Honnold's free climbing El Capitan. 

A gripping film. As suspenseful as any movie I've ever watched. You just never want to think about what it would be like to be in the positions he put himself in to climb El Capitan!

I give this an Eagle.

If you are in a mood for another climbing movie and have Netflix,  check out The Dawn Wall. It’s about the guy from Free Solo who helped Honnold.

I was just amazed at how this guy can get his body is a weird position and still have the grip strength to not fall. The foot holds for that climb were sometimes just enough to get his big toe grip.

These climbers are like human Spider-Man.

The Invisible Man. Birdie. Loosely based on HG Wells’ story, this movie was tense, scary and layered.

With COVID-19 being out there, I will be watching movies via iTunes or some other online rental/purchase places. 

I fear movie theaters will be hit hard by this for a couple of months.

I was going to take my son to see Onward, but now we’re going to wait for it to come out on dvd.

First Man, par. I didn’t find anything about this movie all that compelling. The storyline is factual, the acting was meh… etc.

Yesterday. Birdie. Some British humor which is always good. Fun film and a good idea.

Universal is officially making its current movies available in homes as early as Friday for $19.99. Trolls World Tour is coming early too.

Good time to watch some recent releases at home...

Watch Kill Bill 1 & 2 back to back this evening. Both movies get a tap in birdie.

Finally watched Rocketman. Par. I liked the musical numbers and I love Elton John's music, but it was kind of a standard musician recovery from addiction movie.

Dragged Over Concrete.  Bogey.  Overly long Mel Gibson / Vince Vaughn flick that has one or two extremely gory moments.  Not a horrible movie, but there’s a lot of time spent listening to the two leads while they sit in a car on a stakeout.

It's not a film or movie but we just finished watching season 1 of Star Trek: Picard.   Albatross!  

of course you have to have the history of his previous series and movies.    If you don't have CBS: All Access, this series and the new Twilight Zone are worth the extra few $$.

Dr. Sleep: Snowman.

Awful. It’s like the writer/director tried to be Kubrick and failed miserably. Disorganized, poor character development and abysmal sequencing.

CBS All Access is free for a month. I forget the details, just look it up. And use the code for the no ad version. It should work.

Yesterday - Solid par on a tough hole. Cute story with fun humor and good acting. As a Beatles fan myself, I enjoyed it. Ed Sheehan was good too.

    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting. 
    • Day 96 (18 Mar 24) - Continued work with the Divot Board with the GW and hard foam balls.  Focused on small target/small miss…setup to hit target about 30yds out - success if it hit within 6’ circle of target, fail if outside.  Had decent success averaging about 3 out of 4 (hitting in groups of four).  
    • Wordle 1,003 3/6 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩   felt a little like Wyndham when the first three green and I began the fist pump…
    • I'm relieved someone finally defined hiking. I was giddy when I saw these new TPI videos a day or so after they dropped. Very easy to understand the problem and solution the way they have presented it. Been working on fixing this for about a year and a half now. It's nice to be able to call it something so communication becomes easy.  I was working on more lateral and up too, but just having someone define it clearly in video form was so helpful for me to continue confidently with what I thought was wrong and how I had to fix it.  My conceptual error here was just trying to rotate like a tour pro but without including the necessary forward pressure/weight shift associated with enough lateral and upward motion of the pelvis.  This video is great too, as is Greg Rose.
    • Day 2.    couple mins of rolling putts end over end.    10 mins of Slow, mirror work, working on starting the downswing and impact wrist positions. Hit a couple balls into the net after.    Then finished with a couple chips to see if I could repeat what I worked on yesterday.
