Watched Frozen II (2019) from Walt Disney Pictures

Directed by Chris Buck, Jennifer Lee. With Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Josh Gad, Jonathan Groff. Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, Olaf and Sven leave Arendelle to travel to an ancient, autumn-bound forest of an enchanted land. They set out to find the origin of Elsa's powers in order to save their kingdom.

Better than I expected it would be, but not as solid or classic as the first. None of the songs were as catchy the first installment. Christoph did have an 80s vibe song that was highly reminiscent of REO Speedwagon.

I’ll have to do some more thinking on the ideas and presentation of memory and indigenous peoples as depicted here.

Watched Sacha Baron Cohen's Keynote Address at ADL's 2019 Never Is Now Summit on Anti-Semitism and Hate from www.adl.org

Remarks by Sacha Baron Cohen, Recipient of ADL's International Leadership Award

Thank you, Jonathan, for your very kind words.  Thank you, ADL, for this recognition and your work in fighting racism, hate and bigotry.  And to be clear, when I say “racism, hate and bigotry” I’m not referring to the names of Stephen Miller’s Labradoodles.

A spectacular speech. I actually considered going to New York to see it in person. Cohen has got this topic dead to rights. We need some dramatic changes now.
Watched "The Crown" Moondust from Netflix
Directed by Jessica Hobbs. With Olivia Colman, Tobias Menzies, Helena Bonham Carter, Ben Daniels. The 1969 moon landing occasions a mid-life crisis in Prince Philip, who thinks of the adventures he has missed as the Queen's consort.
This episode has got some really great subtle subtext. It really gives some dimension to Prince Phillip and his midlife crisis. I love the actor’s ability to say so much while still saying so little. This series is generally good, but this was a spectacular and powerful episode to me. Great writing, directing and acting all the way through!

Watched PBS NewsHour West Live Episode, Nov. 20, 2019 from PBS | YouTube
Wednesday on the NewsHour, the U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland shares explosive testimony during the fourth day of the impeachment inquiry’s public hearings. Plus: Counselor to President Trump Kellyanne Conway and Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., respond to Sondland’s claims and a preview of the Wednesday night debate among 2020 Democrats.
I’m still not sure why any reputable news agency still gives Kellyanne Conway airtime, much less this much.
