This is a two day catch-up.  I watched:


Night at the Museum (blu-ray) 2006 comedy starring Ben Stiller as the 
new night security guard at the American Museum of Natural History who 
discovers all the exhibits come to life at night.  It's OK I guess.


Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (blu-ray) 2009 sequel 
which has the exhibits moved to the Smithsonian along with the magical 
artifact that causes the exhibits to all come to life.  I haven't 
watched this since seeing it in the theater in 2009.  But I clearly 
remember I saw it in IMAX and every time Amy Adams who played Amelia 
Earhart was on the giant IMAX screen.


Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb (Disney+) 2014 sequel which has 
the exhibits moved to a museum in London.  More wackiness ensues.  This 
was my first time watching this one.  It was OK I guess.


The Equalizer - "The Whistleblower" - I mostly forgot what happened.

Family Guy - I caught up on the last two episodes.


The Truth vs. Alex Jones (HBO) This took me a few days to work my way 
through.  It's a very good documentary about the families whose young 
children were murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary school and how Alex 
Jones *constantly* lied on his show about it, causing every kook in the 
country (and there are millions of them) who listened to his show to 
make the lives of the grieving parents a living hell.  There simply some 
people who live in an alternate reality and they will *not* be bothered 
by proof.  The documentary also details the families lawsuit against him 
and the two trials, one in Texas and one in Connecticut.  Even during 
the trials Jones couldn't help himself.  A couple of times it looked 
like the judge had seriously had enough of his nonsense and wanted to 
climb down from the bench and beat him herself.  I almost didn't watch 
this because I knew it would be painful to sit through, but it was very 
well done.
