Stephen King's "It". The 1990 version. The new attempt opens in theaters in a few days.
The old one did a good job of capturing the essence of the book and was ok. It ran about three and a half hours. The new one, which I'm sure will be filled with lots of CGI effects is just a little over two hours. I have near zero hopes they'll come close to the 1990 version.
King's books are just too detailed to ever be brought to the screen. IMHO
Anyway, I'll no doubt watch it, if nothing else but to prove my opinions here are correct. Or, maybe I'll be surprised and it'll be a winner.

I would like to see this too, just don't want to pay CBS for the privilege. Hope it will be made available on Netflix or Amazon later, tho' as it's on a pay service that might not come to pass. I do love my Star Trek.
In the meantime I recently discovered that "Earth, Final Conflict" is on Amazon Prime to stream. I enjoy this Roddenberry based series. He'd made notes on the series and after his death, his wife, Majel Barrett Roddenberry developed it. Ran five seasons as a syndicated show. The local station we were watching it on didn't carry the final season, so now I have a chance to see that finally.

Been watching it from the very start. Rob Thomas was what led me to start watching. I hate zombie shows and never watch them, movies or TV.

It seemed a black fantasy for black supremacy, but the African character depictions and dialogue were right out of Walk Disney’s blackface playbook. “Moba bindookie moosaga!” “You mean the ancient purple flower of life is in danger?!?!” “Bindookie!!! Bindookie!!!”

What pisses me off is they got him, and WW right in BvSDoJ, then turned him into the Deadpan Snarker in Justice League. I'm less concerned that he turned into a machinegun spree-shooter, after the whole Death in the Family thing (That wasn't an Easter Egg, that was Motivation) then turned him back into "Only kills robots, aliens, and alien-cyborg-demon-bugs" one rule as if the previous movie didn't happen. The tonal shift to him all of a sudden growing a sense of humor, wearing "The Goddamned Batman!" uniform is jarring in it's cognitive dissonance.

Kolysanka (2010)

"Black comedy. A weird family named Makarewicz moves into a house recently abandoned by owner, set in idyllic but isolated Masurian village. Very soon a number of local residents and a few visitors mysteriously disappear. Nobody suspects that their new neighbors are a perfectly camouflaged vampire family..."
There aren't any decent Youtube trailers with subtitles, sorry. The ones that are up there will probably just confuse the shit out of you. Here's one, in any event:
It's pretty funny; I'd give it a 7 out of 10 for horror-comedy. It's vaguely reminiscent of The Addams Family movie, yet entirely it's own creation with a different slant then Western vampire movies. My only frustration is that the subtitles cut off when the credits roll, and there's another couple of minutes of excerpts and whatnot that I'd like translated from Polish. As they note in the movie, my 'kitchen German' doesn't work to translate <> Polish.
-
(https://i.imgur.com/prpNDMW.jpg)
While I mean no disrespect to the good people of Masuria, I'm having a hard time imaging how any Masurians who took even a fleeting glance at that family could not "suspect that their new neighbors are a perfectly camouflaged vampire family."
I suppose, again looking at the picture, I could also take issue with the "perfectly camouflaged" part...

I'll second that... I watched it a few months ago (the YIFY download). It's a comic book turned into a sci-fi movie, and the transition from comic to screen worked out pretty well.

Mark and I went to a 1:00 show. Mark's daughter text half way through the show and asked what we were doing. We told her. "Awww, I wanted to see it."
It was so good, I saw it at the 3:30 show and watched it with her.

Innocent Man on Netflix. A documentary from the only non-fiction book John Grisham wrote. The criminal justice system in small towns are as corrupt and/or as negligent as the big cities. If you are poor, no matter your color, the law will convict you if they need a conviction, whether one is guilty or not.

I'm watching Battle in Seattle right now...
Great cast, so far that's all I can say. Still establishing characters, the Exposition is handled fairly well.
It was pretty good, not perfect. The performances were well done, but the infanticide was handled badly. Clunky, in an obvious play on the emotions. That was about the worst of it, snapped me out of it, and reminded me that I was watching a movie. Other than that, I enjoyed it.

Avengers: Infinity War. Again, we have a copy, but I guess this is as good a place as any to rant about something that bothers me:
YTF does Tony Stark have a flip-phone? In the Battle of New York II, before he hears the doomsday donut, he's about to call Steve, and what does he pull out of his track-suit, but a flip-phone? It's just so anachronistic, when we've seen so many smart-phones with holographic displays that sense his movements, so he can grab, swipe, and enlarge right in front of everyone.
He takes off his smart glasses to cover himself in liquid Nano he wears in, or on his chest. (They don't say whether or not this is supposed to be the MCU version of his Bleeding Edge, or Extremis Armor) When Pepper calls back, as he's rapidly leaving the Reception Area (Like he did carrying a cruise missile out of the Battle of New York Part I) we can see that he's connected through the suit, no glasses, no handheld, not even a smart-watch, he can order an upgrade for Iron Spider to be delivered from HQ with a word, but to call Captain America, Banner picks up a slightly scuffed fliphone out of the rubble, still open to Contacts. YOU CAN'T EVEN BUY ONE OF THOSE ANY MORE! Can you?
The interstellar Pager Fury drops with a disintegrating "Mother f..." at the end launched a thousand fan theories, but for some reason, am I the only one that noticed how fucking absurd it was for Tony Stark to pull a fliphone with a 2" monochorome display out of his pocket in the Sanctum Sanctorum? Really?
It's driving me nuts, but it's not like it takes much for me, nowadays. More of a putt, really.

A friend of mine "still" has a flip phone, It's what he's comfortable with and doesn't want to change. Which is not surprising as he is 70 years old and has never taken to all the advances that have occurred over the last 25 years. I love visiting his house, it's like stepping back 65 years, he still has rotary dial phones in his kitchen and den.
(they like to drive At&T nuts because they need special switching gear to operate).
He has a Motorola Consul TV (and it works). His entire house is a time capsule from the past.

PS: And yes you can still buy flip phones at the AT&T Store.

I watched a very depressing show called “Celebrity Autopsy: John Candy.” It’s a show with a handsome “forensic pathologist,” who reviews death records, medical history, and interviews with friends and family, to come up with a cause of death. No surprises here. In Candy’s case, he was morbidly obese, with a history of drug and alcohol abuse, and he was filming a comedy in Mexico’s high country, with elevated risks associated with heat and thin air.
So they reviewed Candy’s life, his insecurities, the way he self medicated with pizza and beer... He died of a myocardial infarction at age 43. By the time it was over, I was ready to cut my own wrists, and swore off booze, pizza, and risky behaviors. I’ve sworn off the celebrity autopsy show too!

Yes, I know where he got it. That wasn't the question. WHY DID HE HAVE IT ON HIM? You want me to spell it out for you, vertically, just to waste space in condescention, or can I trust you to read it horisontally? Go back, and read it again. It's in CAPS, so you can't miss it.
He went for a walk in the Park with Pepper, to talk to her about knocking her up, then got surprised by the Wizard out of nowhere. Okay, you mean to tell me that he's carried it with him, at all times, ever since then, despite insisting that he CAN'T call him when Banner, his science buddy practically pleaded for him to. With a threat to the planet looming over him.
He still didn't want to, but he carried the phone with him, for what, old times sake? He didn't update his contacts, as if he was a tech genius or something wearing an nanosuit that can hack into the Shield helicarrier with a button, but he's still carrying that old flip-phone around with him?
Your "Duh" is noted. It still doesn't explain why he had it in his pocket, other than as a literal Plot Device.

Bit of a shaggy dog story for a lead-in. I hadn't checked in with what Stoya was doing in over a year. I looked her up and saw she'd been at a movie screening in Brazil for something called 'Ederlezi Rising' that I'd never heard of, so I googled it. Lo, it's a softcore science fiction movie released in 2018 I'd never seen. Has a cast of 4 (one is just a voice), and Stoya is one of the 4, an android that the guy on the spaceship uses as a sex toy. I *had* to hunt it down, of course! :D
Turns out it's not in my list of sexbots and people >here< (http://www.kristensboard.com/forums/index.php?topic=64817.msg534353#msg534353), either. Oops.
(https://i.imgur.com/foaFqC9.jpg)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5215088/
I won't spoil it for you in case you want to see the movie. It's a sad ending, thus the low ratings at IMDB. Stoya is fully nude in numerous scenes (including soft sex scenes), and I can tell they didn't use a body-double 'cos of her (somewhat) recent tattoo in ~ 2016. I'm surprised they didn't try to cover the tattoo for the movie. Maybe they couldn't find concealing mask in alabaster white.
The current review at IMDB is decent, and I agree with it. It's not a flashy movie, but it makes you think. I can see why Stoya agreed to play the android in it.

It was given to him by Captain America, with a single number saved in it (Steve's).
I won't give the reasons in case of spoilers (but watch Civil War), but basically it's an emergency burner.

We went to see Avengers: Endgame yesterday, splashed out on 3d. I won't give you any spoilers, but you can be looking for references (subtle and not-so-subtle) to every single past film in the sequence, all the way back to the first Iron Man film.
It wasn't the film I expected to see, but it was very, very good. Action, of course, plus emotion and the best handling of the major plot device I have seen (or read) for a long time.

Over the weekend I watched the 12-episode series of Nymphs (2013, Finland), https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2449262/
Luckily the copy I found had English subtitles, or I'd have been lost in the first 2 minutes. Even so, the subtitles were added by a Finnish speaker so they didn't always make sense, and he didn't translate all of the Finnish words. I googled a few of them.
It was a good series, worth the watch if you're into modern-day fairy tales. My only issue with the series was that Kati acted more mortal than nymph.

Anyone seen this History Channel show called “The Butcher”? It’s kind of like “Forged in Fire” except it is carving meat rather than making a blade. So you wouldn’t think carving a side of beef, making sausage, or ostrich steaks could be entertaining; however, I’m actually learning a lot about how to properly prepare meat and what to look for in cuts. Great show.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier, again. Getting back to my slashfic (it's in Alternate Reality. Since nobody seems to look there...) In all 20 MCU movies I've seen so far (Still haven't caught Captain marvel, nor Endgame) that's still the best. Hands down, not even a close second. To me, because it's not a Superhero movie. Yeah, it's a superspy/soldier/assassin movie, but the most high-tech element is the Santesteban cyberarm. (Okay, I guessed. That's the closest match in the Chrome Books.) No rage monsters gaining 4 times his mass from nowhere, no flying, and shooting lazerbeams from their eyes, it's somewhat grounded in reality. (With Ice Axes?)

I can’t watch Marvel or really any superhero film (exception: Guardians of the Galaxy). The pace is too frantic, too many explosions and special effects, and the body count is too high.
I guess that officially makes me old, but I absolutely get a headache if the kids put on one of those movies. I like complex dialogue, character development, exploration of emotions and philosophical themes. Yeah, you can put those on the superheroes and compare them to Greek and Roman gods, but to me it’s just so much predictable formulaic drivel designed to separate people from their money.
I am in no way criticizing you Psi. It’s just what I experience from my perspective. Like I said, I’m getting older now.

My nephews and I have a tradition of watching movies together when I come to town for a visit, so I've watched most of these movies with them.
The problem I have with them is that the body count isn't high enough. It's not that I like to see bodies piling up, it's just that when watching these movies, you know that the good guys are not going to die, or even get seriously injured (avoiding spoilers). They smash the crap out of each other, and no one's the worse for wear. Even when Thanos snapped his fingers and half the population in the universe "died," you knew they were only kinda dead, and that they'd all be back.
-
I like complex dialogue, character development, exploration of emotions and philosophical themes...
Likewise, I'm not trying to turn you around, but CA: TWS has that. Most of the Marvel movies do to some degree, but to me, this isn't a Space Opera. There's not a single Infinity Stone. Just have to point that out, the overarching theme that ties the rest of the Universe together?
They don't even mention a single Infinity Stone. This is an exception, it's more focused on the relationship between Steve, and Nat. There's more Dialog between them than all of the Action setpeices. They have those too, and you're right. It's edited like a Bourne/Taken Movie, they just didn't know any other way to shoot let's say Black Widow's fighting style, and make it believable until Matthew Vaugn showed them how in "Not that kinda movie, bruv."
Guardians are what they are. Entertaining, but even with a planet about to be annihilated by a big blue grumpy face, and a purple glowy super rock, they cut that tension with a "Danceoff, bro!" The mcguffin is a flash drive, not a magic rock. They're fighting over Information, personal information, on everyone that could be a threat. "No more secrets."
There's none of that, In The Winter Soldier. It's more like Sneakers. Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

I don’t care much for superhero movies. Why? Well, because I’m an adult (last time I said that I got a snippy response from guess who?).
I need my SciFi to be somewhat believable, then I love it. I can even tolerate a little magic of the Tolkien or GoT varieties, but something like Harry Potter is just stupid.
And now I hear you have to be a dedicated watcher of the whole Marvel Universe to even know what’s going on. I’ll pass.
That’s not to say I won’t be coerced into watching these things. That happens. I usually get bored and my hands start roaming. But then there’s a growl, and my hands get slapped followed by protests of she’s watching the movie.

I'm binge watching "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency." (2016 and '17 series) Halfway through series 2. It's a lot like Doctor Who, only with longer story arcs. In the first episode, he determines that the main character is an "Assistant." Using holistic method, of course.
Douglass Adams got his start writing for Dr. Who.
I wish someone would do "The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul." That was my favorite storyline.
Spoiler: The guilt monster crawling out of the discarded refrigerator was brilliant.

We were working outside and planned on sitting by the pool afterward. As we were cleaning up our shovels and pruning tools, it started raining. With our pool time getting washed out, we decided on the movies. My turn to pick...
Yesterday
A quick shower without drying my hair, just a pony. While Dan was in the shower, I was reading critic reviews. They all blasted it.
The movie wasn't fantastic, but worth the price of admission. I love the Beatles and I liked the movie a lot. 2 hours of enjoyable down time shoveling popcorn in my mouth and sucking on a giant frozen coke, while tapping my feet to songs I love.
And the Downton Abbey preview. Can't wait.

My synapses are not firing correctly today.
I thought I clicked on the Tiny Tits thread, and the first thing I saw was:
We were working outside and planned on sitting by the pool afterward...
I thought, "Wow, this is going to be really yummy!
And then I read the next sentence, and realized my mistake.
Bubble --> Burst

Yeah, I have a touch-screen on my netbook, so sometimes when I'm using it in "Tablet" mode, I tap on the wrong thread by mistake, and I don't always catch the title when I reply. It's got to be even worse for people brousing on their phones.
"To order a special dialing wand, please punch the screen now."
Still the latest adaption of "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency," but I finished series 2. So, I'm not still bngewatching it, but I haven't found anything new to watch yet, today...
I really like that they changed so much, honly. I wanted "The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul," but I've read that story, a lot of times, it's probably my favorite from Douglas Adams.
-
Catching up on "This Is Not Happening."

Watched the Cameron Crowe film “Aloha” last night. Bradley Cooper, Rachel McAdams, Emma Stone, Bill Murray, Danny McBride, even Alec Baldwin. Great story, good acting, funny but not silly. Lots of warm hearted emotion, set in Hawai’i.
It bombed at the box office, and lost $17,000,000. But I liked it, so there you go.

Pamela McClintock at The Hollywood Reporter estimated that the financial losses by the film finished to around $65 million by the time the film ended its global theatrical run, based on a budget of "$37 million-plus".

The Art Of Racing In The Rain.
Oh. My. God. I was a flippin mess watching it.
I read the book and loved it. I read it twice in fact.
The movie did it justice.
The girls and I were all crying.
I quit reading critic reviews before going to see movies because I generally don't agree with them. I do read them afterward. I don't agree with them on this one either.

Hitsville, USA on Showtime. The start by Berry Gordy of Motown. Good to see old film footage of the groups and music that I grew up to.
-
I watched "the Right Stuff."
I forgot how damned qute Dennis Quaid is with his mischievous grin. Ed harris was downright fine looking too!

Catching up on P&T: FU. Bingewatching season 6.

Movie: "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood" - absolutely brilliant IMHO.
TV: "The Handmaid's Tale Season 3" - the plot holes are becoming chasms!

Watching the BBC Living History series "Tales from the Green Valley (http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6LJQOAaGj2magtWkqqRQOUKF9SOK-IIt)" now.

The Ken Burns documentary on Country Music. Though not a fan of country music per se, it was interesting in the historical sense. The biographies of many of the great singers was also interesting.
-
Bingewatched the "Avengers Assemble!" cartoon to get all the episodes I missed, and also watch them in order.
-
"Downton Abbey" - The movie; enjoyable but very silly, very British and the antithesis of my previous movie which was "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood"
-
Not yet, but date night tomorrow will have me dragging wifey and wifey #2 to see Joker. :D
-
CJ completely understood the Joker. If only I could look at my father, scream "You know what happens when you rape and do horrible things to your own daughter for years and years because she couldn't stop you? You Get What You Fucking Deserve!"
Then blow his fucking brains out! And I guarantee you I'd have exactly the same look on my face as the Joker did when he popped that guy. But, no, I'd never actually do it despite the bullshit people say about the movie. But I'd be lying if I didn't say seeing that scene didn't make me wish I could.
You need to see this movie. :emot_applaus:
It's not often you sympathize with the bad guy, but in this movie you would. It's just too fucking bad they they didn't start their DCEU with this movie. :roll:
-
I just saw the Downton Abbey movie too. Enjoyed it immensely. Better than i expected. I agree it is very British. Stiff upper lip and all that. Hope they make another.
-
"True Romance", typical Tarantino climax Though it's 25 years old I don't remember seeing it before now. But then, at my age, there's lots of things I don't remember.
-
Little Mermaid Live. I didnt like. I also wasnt in love with Sound of Music live even though I love both Carrie Underwood and Sound of Music.

"Sully". I thought it was great. Anyone have any comments about how faithful it was to the actual event and inquiry proceedings?

From what I've read, the movie over-dramatized the investigation/inquiry. In reality, it wss very pro forma. But that doesn't make for a compelling drama...
I enjoyed the film as well.

Almost forgot; I also saw Clint Eastwood's "American Sniper" recently. I never realized it was also based on a real person until the funeral scene at the end.
-
I remember enjoying SULLY. It has been a while since viewing it though
Over last 4 months we have been watching Designated Survivor with Kiefer Sutherland. Season 2 or 3. 3 I think. In some of the scenes they are using actual social media footage of citizens responses to real life events and also concerns with the state of the country. Very touching.
-
On Prime, we have been watching Murder Call, a three year police drama series from Australia and Hamish MacBeth, about a small town police officer in Scotland. In the latest episode we watched, the town put on a production of West Side Story. With Scottish accents!

Sadly, SEAL Team :emot_weird:

I watched an episode of Beat Bobby Flay, and the basket ingredient to “make the star of your dish” was fava beans. I was *so* hoping one of the contestants would make “liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti,” but alas. It did not happen. It would have brought the house down.

The Confession Killer on Netflix - documentary on Henry Lucas, supposed serial killer who told the Texas Rangers what they wanted to hear, regardless if it was true or not.
-
I'd also recommend "Mindhunter" on Netflix.
It depicts the beginnings of the FBI'S BSU, even coming up with the term "serial killer".
There's two seasons now, with hints they'll be looking into the BTK killer who was finally caught a few years ago.

I’m old and usually just hand the remote to my Peruvian to figure out most things like Netflix, but I have figured out how to pause and even back it up if I missed something. I watched The Irishman about a week ago, was surprised to see Joe Pesci out of retirement.

Trading places... was a movie with an awful message at the end.
They end up rich by tricking some other rich assholes. Then they're probably just rich assholes themselves after that. I didn't see them starting up charities or anything.
-
I agree with your comments about Trading Places, but it is such a fun movie. And yes, for some reason, the picture of Dan Aykroyd on the bus eating a smoked salmon through his Santa beard, is an indelible image in my mind. I think about it every holiday.
The movie I watched that made a huge impression on me recently is “The Irishman.” You really must see it on Netflix. If you are a Godfather fan, A Goodfellas fan, the fan on Martin Scorsese, you just have to see it. You’re either going to love this movie or hate it. But it will definitely draw you in. I could not believe seeing all the master performers of my life together on the screen. At least 20 or 30 years past their prime, but playing some incredible roles. It will absolutely blow your mind.
-
"Hacksaw Ridge" - A great film about a real life hero. It does contain a rather unrealistic gore fest of a battle though (not that the real battle wasn't full of bloodshed, just that Mel Gibson represents it in his typical cartoon-ish way).
-
Raining in the Florida Keys for last 3 days, so we went and watched the Star Wars film. I'm not a Star Ears fan, but I had a nice nap. Hahaha
The had good popcorn though
-
Finally took the time to watch "The Irishman". Hadn't realized it was based on real people. Lots of pure speculation, but a joy to watch all those veteran actors do a super job at playing their rolls. I saw on IMDB that Joe Pesci turned down his part multiple times, not wanting to come out of retirement. Glad they finally tempted him back.
-
Just finished binge watching the first season of Castle Rock. It's a Stephen King TV series by Hulu, I think.
But it was lots of fun, I hope to see a season 2!
Now to catch up on The Expanse.
-
We're working on "The Expanse" now too. Watched it on SyFy when it came out. It got confusing (for us old people anyway). Took nine months for a next season to roll around again. By that time, we'd forgotten who was who, doing what to whom. By the time we got caught up, BAM, that season was over.
Now we're streaming it on Prime and to go right into the next season without forgetting too much. Yes, we're even older know. On season three and looking forward to the new season four...when we get there.
My favorite cast member is Shohreh Aghdashloo, the Iranian woman who plays, Chrisjen Avasarala, the only one who seems to know what to do in the whole solar system. I'm in lust with her voice.
-
Just watched the final episode of “Mr. Robot.” It kept me guessing what was real and what was just in Elliot's head. Additionally it was and emotional roller coaster of a ride to the end. I hate seeing the series end but they did it while on a high note. I hate it when shows drag out just for the money. This is definitely a series I will watch over again. Though this time I think it will be a binge so nothing gets lost between shows. If you haven't caught this series I'd suggest doing so before it is only available as a rental or google makes it disappear for being to close to their plans.

I'll just put this here rather than start a new topic.
Leaks for Star Trek: Picard are out. Real or not, this is some Disney star wars level fuckery. :facepalm:
Androids go crazy. The girl looking for Picard's help is a half robot Frankenstein. Picard doesn't leave Earth for 3 episodes and no 7 of 9 for a while either. CJ had a thing for seven. ;D Voyager sucked, but Jeri Ryan was yummy. :D
Starfleet builds an armada to save the Romulans from the JJ Abrams movie but the Data like androids turn Skynet and nuke the ships.
And worst of all, they're busting their ass to link it to that abomination Discovery. And given the jackass they put in charge of both shows, this will be an even bigger disaster. That guy shouldn't have been put in charge of a hot dog cart. :facepalm:
There's also a rumor, doubt it's even close to true that there's possibly a deal coming to sell star trek to NBC Universal and Seth McFarlane would take over. Rumor also is that the Orville was pitched as a star trek series but got turned down for the garbage they've shat out. :roll:
-
I can not describe how disappointed I was with this first episode. :facepalm:
It's like they watched two episodes of TNG and made up the rest. These bozos couldn't write a god damn email without fucking it up! How is it fucking possible they fucked up star trek worse than Disney fucked up star wars?? How do people this untalented get these jobs? Did Patrick Stewart need the money? Did he squander it all away and was desperate?
This is an absolute abomination! It's bad enough it's in that god forsaken "JJ" timeline. You know, the one where a supernova kills all the Romulans.
I can't even be bothered to watch one more episode of this. They said Voyager sucked, which it kinda did, but it wasn't that bad. At least they put time and effort into it. I think they wrote all this shit while they were giving blowjobs to homeless men. :emot_banghead:

It's official. CJ is done watching the walking dead.
I didn't even remember it was back on Sunday. This means CJ will likely never watch it again.

Could easily watch the new episode... I just don't care.
I think it ran out of gas, even though it can last years in that world, a few seasons ago. Oh well. Move on to other things.
The last time I watched a series start to finish was battlestar galactica, and then it pissed me off with its ending. :roll:
And before that the only reason I watched Stargate anymore was because of Amanda Tapping.

Watched the HBO movie of the week - Yesterday. Interesting take on the Beatles and their music. What if the Beatles never existed to the people living today yet one person does remember them and their music, because of a 12 second world-wide power outage, and begins singing their songs, becoming a instant sensation.
Would like to know what our resident Beatle aficionado, Gina, thinks about the movie. 8)

Watched the HBO movie of the week - Yesterday.
I thought it was cute. I loved the movie and the Beatles.
Dan wanted to watch Midway but I'm just not into it. Maybe next weekend. Instead we watched Mr Rogers. Ugh, I picked up my Kindle half way through. I know Tom Hanks did a great job, but that monotone voice.
Then we watched the new Netflix with Wahlburg called Spence Confidential (I think it was). Dan liked it. I half paid attention. I just couldn't stay focused. What I did see was so-so.
-
We have been watching Blacklist on Netflix. Never having watched it, nor even knew it was on, I think James Spader does an admirable job, along with the supporting crew.

The six part series called McMillion$ . The story probably could have been told in three or four parts but it shows the greed of people. The story involves the head of security for the printing company that printed up the McDonald's Monopoly pieces and how he stole the million dollar winning pieces and sold them to friends who sold them to family. The FBI was tipped off by the IRS and details their involvement is capturing the people involved in the fraud.

Watcher, you might enjoy seeing the “Foods That Made America” series on the history network. It’s a three-part documentary about the rise of mass production and fast food in America. Since the turn of the last century, processed foods have become an iconic American brand worldwide. People in every corner of the globe know what McDonald’s and Coca-Cola are.
One of the interesting segments, focuses on McDonald’s. We are told that Ray Kroc invented McDonalds. Actually, the McDonald brothers invented McDonald’s in San Bernardino, California, and Ray Kroc stole it from them for a very small sum. I think it was $4 million. $20+ billion in annual sales now. Kroc let them keep their original location, but made them change the name. He then built a McDonald’s across the street, and put them out of business. Asshole.

Kroc was a salesman who sold milk shake blenders. That was how he came to know the McDonald brothers. He liked their way of operating and, as they say, the rest is history. I did not know about him setting up a McDonalds across the street from the brothers, though.
I have heard of that documentary but haven't watched it yet.

Last night I finished streaming that 3-part Netflix documentary about Aaron Hernandez.
It was hard to watch it and not compare it to that ESPN OJ Simpson multi-part documentary, which I found uniformly excellent and enthralling. This somewhat paled in comparison.
It's an undeniably fascinating story, but the problem I had with it was that there was far too much psychologizing by people who had no training, knowledge, or insight to do so. This is especially detrimental because there was a long list of factors that may, or may not, have contributed to his (allegedly) committing the murders, and to his suicide. This includes the potential effects of CTE; the fact that he was likely a closeted gay man, or at least bisexual; the fact that his father was physically abusive and his mother was emotionally abusive (and they play excerpts of phone conversations with his mother while he was in prison that are heartbreaking, since she's still going at it; and the standard macho football culture, with the attending privileges granted to athletes.
Worst of all, to my mind, it's never revealed why he murdered Odin Lloyd, nor why he may have murdered the other two men. The fact that he was guilty of murdering Lloyd was very well established, and, of course, he was convicted. And it seemed clear to me, despite that fact that we was acquitted, that he murdered the other two men. But it's never explained, or even suggested, why. And the same goes for his suicide. Of course, the reasons why some people choose to kill themselves remain inexplicable. But despite the life-sentence, he had a potential appeal in the works, and everyone who spoke with him in the final days of his life saw any indication that he would kill himself.
In short, too many questions, and not enough answers.

I was tense the whole movie. It was so cool the way it was filmed. We went to the theatre and watched it but I think we might rent it again. The two older ones didn't see it and want to. I'm game. It was that good.

We just watched "Forever My Girl" on Amazon Prime. It's a chick flick. The girls and I loved it. Dan fell asleep (shocker). The movie was predictable, but I still enjoyed it. Love the southern sweetness character of the beautiful Jessica Rothe and the child actor Abby Ryder Fortson. Music was so-so. Time well spent.

Star Trek: Picard.
I wont shut up about it.
I can't even express my dismay. Spoilers: They killed Picard and turned 7 of 9 into a lesbian. A lesbian who doesn't even do hot women. I saw it coming anyway. :roll: :facepalm:
I'm done. No need for a season 2. I knew the people who made that awful garbage called Discovery would pull this shit here too. Star Trek is dead and no better than star wars now. I hate them both.

In honor of Honor Blackman, we watched "Goldfinger" last night. It's one of the better Bond movies, and I enjoyed it greatly. It marked the first appearance of the tricked out Astin Martin.
As it was made way back in 1964, no doubt most here weren't even around yet. The movie still shows up on TV so there's been lots of chances to see it.
If you're one of the few who've missed it, watch! It's a fun flick.

So young and naive when I first saw this I had no idea of the innuendo behind "Pussy Galore". But in my defence, 'pussy' was not then in common UK usage for female pudenda, our prefered term was 'fanny' which now seems to have fallen out of use over here.

The Rainman Twins on Amazon Prime. The only identical twins in the world who are autistic savants. They live in New Jersey. Amazing how the human mind works.

Loved it. LOVED them. Such an amazing story. I watched it back at the beginning of our quarantining. What amazing women!

American Idol. I'm a sucker for undiscovered talent. I could watch this show every night, which between this and The Voice, it seems like it's on every day.

The sixth season of Bosch, the LAPD detective from the Michael Connelly books. It is on Amazon Prime.

The family is watching the final episode of the most recent season of Ozarks. I haven't seen all of the shows in the series, but I didn't miss any this season.
These last 3 shows have been amazing. Laura Linney's (Wendy) acting has been amazing these episodes.
-
I have been watching McLeod's Daughters on amazon prime. McLeod's Daughters is an Australian television drama program. It tells the story of girls running a ranch. Mostly a chick flick. Well it helps past the time. Wondering what I’ll do after I have gone through all of Netflix and amazon.... then what. Stay safe all. :emot_kiss:

I have just started watching season 1. It looks to be as good as Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul but will it reach the heights of the Sopranos?
-
I stopped watch Saul. Couldn't get into it.
Ozarks reminds me of Breaking Bad in that you're rooting for the bad guys. Season 3 was great. Season 2 I missed half the shows.
-
I stopped watch Saul. Couldn't get into it.
I highly recommend the latest series (5).

We are watching The Last Dance, Sunday nights on ESPN. Michael Jordan and the Bulls’ run for NBA title number 6. It’s really a retrospective of the entire Michael Jordan era, in ten installments. Very well done, entertaining, and informative.

"Pump up the Volume" with Christian Slater,
a great little movie about the freedom of speech

Normal people. A Ireland based series based on 2 young people leaving school and going to college. Lots of horny scenes in it . The main girl lead is hot as f*** and such a hot body.

We watched through Eps 3 so far. The Detroit Pistons portion "Bad Boys" era. They shed them in a bad light. The NBA are the ones that marketed them the Bad Boys.
We'll watch more when we Dan feels like it. I have enjoyed it. He's so good. Very interesting inside look at the Chicago team.

Casablanca was on last night. Hard not to rewatch this movie over and over. It has to have the most movie quotes of all time.

Rocketman - the Elton John story. His music and Bernie Taupin's lyrics could not ease the pain in his life that began at a very early age. Glad to see he has been sober for 28 years and that Taupin and him has never had an argument in 50 years.

I thought of you when, early in the movie, after he was selected to attend the Royal School of Music, the piano teacher asked him to play something. He played what she was playing when he entered the auditorium. When she asked him why he stopped, he replied because that was where you stopped. A piano prodigy.

Watched Spike Lee's premiere on Netflix last night of Da 5 Bloods. Story plot was kind of far fetched but Lee did intersperse, throughout the movie, important historical facts on Black Americans and their contribution to America.
Bloods refer to Black soldiers during the Vietnam War. Most would use an intricate handshake called the Dap when they greeted each other. The Dap would last at least a minute. It was their way of showing solidarity which infuriated the career soldiers, who mostly came from the South.

Just finished watching "Little Fires Everywhere". Thought it was very good and Reece Witherspoon was outstanding.
Also saw "The Longest Day" on the anniversary of D-Day. The first time I have seen it since the invention of this here interwebby thing, iMDB pointed out to me that most of the stars were far to old to play the real life characters, something I hadn't realised when I first saw it. For one, John Wayne at the age of 54 played a Major who was 27 on the day of the landing!

The first 4 (of 8 ) episodes of "Mrs America" about the debates over the Equal Rights Amendment in the 70s. A lot of the politicking is going right over my head (but it didn't stop me enjoying "The West Wing"). About the only combatant that I had heard of was Gloria Steinem.

I watched that and I thoroughly enjoyed it, though it's easy to see how someone outside the U.S. (or an American under 40) might miss a lot of what goes on in it.
Phyllis Schlafly is a uniquely American character, and I think the series does a good job of portraying here as a three-dimensional figure, and not a simple foil. And I'll admit that I didn't know some of the other figures in the series, and I had to look them up.
And, alas, as of last month, I can no longer claim the excuse of being "under 40."

I recently posted a photo of a favorite teacher, from my high school yearbook, in which she was referred to as “Ms. Smith.” Her children got all upset, thinking she should have been called “Mrs.” I had to explain that “Ms.” was a widely used honorific in the 1970’s, and was also the name of Gloria Steinem’s magazine. The title was one of respect, and in no way implies the woman is not married. She divorced the bastard a few years later anyway. LOL.

The history of the Go Gos on Showtime. In 1982 they were the first all girl band that played their own instruments and wrote their own songs. The documentary said they still are the only girl band that played their own instruments and write their own music. Yet they are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Final episode of Alone. 100 day survival challenge in the Canadian Arctic. Roland from Arkansas beat all of the professional nature guides and SEAL team members. Just a country boy who has lived in the wilds most of his life. Felled a 800 lb. muskox with a single arrow and his knife. He stabbed it to death. Incredible. He won the $1,000,000 prize. I enjoyed the show.

The interesting thing is that the 2nd and 3rd place finishers were the only two women in the contest. Remember that, the next time you accuse someone of running like a girl. They had great fishing and snaring skills, and a far healthier outlook on their circumstances. Little complaining and much joy and appreciation of the wilderness.

Bill and Ted face the music.
Yep, knew how it would end. Bill and Ted were just like John Connor or Hicks and Newt or Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker... completely irrelevant. I remember before the movie started filming people were saying it would be an SJW movie where Bill and Ted's daughters would turn out to be the true heroes. And those people got called all the typical names.
Well, they were right. In the end Bill and Ted were kicked aside for their two daughters to save the universe or some shit. Now you can't even watch the first movie knowing they were irrelevant anyway. Just like the first two Terminators thanks to the last piece of crap they made.
:facepalm:
I'm glad I didn't pay to see it in a theater. I have a feeling all the movies I wanted to see this Summer would have just pissed me off anyway. Top Gun, Ghostbusters... you're next. :roll:

I never saw the series Alias when it first came out. So binging it on Netflix. Very entertaining.

We just started rewatching the show on Amazon Prime. Still fun?

I watched All that Jazz (1979) last night, for the first time in at least a decade. If not for Cabaret, I would say is is Bob Fosse’s greatest screen work. And getting older now myself, with some heart complaints and a surgery, the movie affected me very differently than in times past. My son commented “they really don’t make movies like this anymore.” I have to agree with him. Dialogue, emotion, and not a single car chase or CGI in the 2 hour film.

They still work in tense moments when things go wrong and emergency repairs have to be cobbled together. Two very intense space walks, for those of you who like to be on the edge of your seat.
I found it a refreshing change from all the CGI heavy shows these days. Nice that acting gets to lead the way.

OMG, my husband is watching it. He just finished season 1. I wasn't paying complete attention during it, but what I did see I wasn't super impressed with it. But, he absolute LOVES it.
I'll confess here that I have taken some karate lessons.

The last movie I watched was WarGames (1983), after seeing it mentioned on this board.
I suffer from PDS (Patience Deficiency Syndrome) and usually abandon movies, TV episodes, and documentaries around the 15 minute mark. I gave up on WarGames far later on, at the point where the kids meet Dr Falken. Later I went back and finished the movie, just to see more of Ally Sheedy.
Come to think of it, the last three movies I watched all the way through had strong female leads. She Kills (2016) was painful to watch, but I was intrigued by Jennie Russo. Firelight (1997) was a visual treat, with a stunning performance by Sophie Marceau.
I've given up on TV series and can’t remember the last one I watched.

PDS (Patience Deficiency Syndrome)
I actually googled it wondering if it was real. While it is not, I believe I suffer from it also and it should be a real condition.

All I have to tell my daughter about a movie is whether or not I stayed awake through the whole thing.
Last movie I watched all the way through was called Jug Face and the only reason I stayed awake all the way through it was because I thought it HAD to get better.
It didn't. I'm sure there have been worse movies made, but none come to mind.

PDS (Patience Deficiency Syndrome)
I actually googled it wondering if it was real. While it is not, I believe I suffer from it also and it should be a real condition.
In my case it's a very specific malady. I have no problem putting eight hours a day into a six-month project because the the short- and long-term satisfaction is worth it. Watching a sub-standard movie is 90 lost minutes leaving nothing but irritation and frustration. I do try to give film-makers a chance by ignoring the first few continuity goofs or clichéd lines but there's a limit to my patience/endurance.
I have the same problem with books. Ten or twenty pages and I'm reaching for another book.
Ditching digital books is no big deal. Easy come, easy go. What really bugs me is spending weeks searching the web for rare second-hand books, finding them, ordering them, waiting two or weeks for delivery, and then... :facepalm:
-
I've been blessed with loads of patience. I have sat through watched and actually paid attention to dozens of movies and tv shows I have zero interest in or things i found utterly stupid, ie the walking dead
I understand the book situation though. Few things are more frustrating than waiting for books that have gotten great reviews or sound interesting in the description, then turn out to be personal bombs.

I’ve tried to watch several movies this week, but can’t make it more than ten minutes into one before I just turn it off. I can still watch documentaries, but not cinematic fiction. I guess I am a cynical asshole finally.

Total laugh riot at our house tonight! :emot_laughing:
After a week of entertaining step son with action/adventure movies, we watched "The Birdcage". Step son groaned when the night's selection was announced. He ended up laughing just as hard as the old folks. ;D
Robin Williams and Nathan Lane as a gay couple, running Drag Show nightclub are so great together. Toss in a befuddled Gene Hackman and the powerhouse cast are all at the top of their game. Then too, they were directed by Mike Nichols.
I've seen the movie a few times, but I still laugh just as hard each time. It's a wonderful cure for these troubled days.

Might be a movie we'll be watching here in the near future.

They wanted Robin Williams to play the over-the-top gay one who then dresses in drag. But he said ‘been there done that’ (Mrs. Doubtfire), so that character went to Nathan Lane.

"Star Trek" Discovery season 3.
Ya know, there are times I wonder why I watch anything anymore and this is one of them. So, it's the distant future and for some implausible reason the united federation of planets no longer exists because their fossil fuel they were still using in the 30th century went kaboom or some shit. And because the dumb shits who write this crap saw "Dilithium" on a Wikipedia star trek entry they thought it was the end all be all only way anything works in star trek. :facepalm:
It's offensive. I'm never watching star trek again. I'd rather watch old star wars with wifey for the billionth time than watch the garbage they're putting out now.

First show, Lovecraft Country, horror and science fiction from the unique, and extremely timely, perspective of racial inequality. That they weave in real events such as the murder and open casket funeral of Emmett Till and the massacre of the black community in Tulsa is provocative in a way that touches the soul.
I’ve learned so much recently about the endurance of racism and how hard it’s been to make it go away.
Second show, The Good Lord Bird, about violent abolitionist John Brown. Only seen the first two episodes, but I recall visiting his cabin in the Adirondack Mountains of NY and Harper’s Ferry, the scene of his last act to free slaves. He was executed for treason for trying to free slaves. The first American to be executed for treason in the U.S., for trying to free slaves.
-
The writer, H.P. Lovecraft, made no bones about his dislike for Blacks. I have watched the series and am impressed how the directors mix racism from the 1950s and science fiction;
As for Harpers Ferry, in 1967 I had taken the train to Washington, DC. It was an overnight run and when I woke up the next morning and looked out the train window, I found myself in a fog shrouded depot that said Harpers Ferry. On the platform were horse drawn wagons, minus the horses. As far as I could see, there was no sign of cars or people. It was like I woke up back in the 1800s. There was nothing modern by the depot.

I started streaming the BBC series "Sherlock" a couple of days ago, and I am completely hooked.
It's set in modern-day England, and the characters are all very contemporary, yet it stays relatively close to the original stories and characters. It's consistently funny, especially in the way it riffs on the Sherlock Holmes canon, and Benedict Cumberbatch does a fantastic job of interpreting Holmes's character.
I highly recommend it.

I enjoyed it immensely. Martin Freeman is very good as Dr Watson as well. Stand by for a scenario that is definitely not in the Conan Doyle style :o
If you're referring to Irene Adler, I watched that episode on Monday...

I started streaming the BBC series "Sherlock" a couple of days ago, and I am completely hooked.
It's set in modern-day England, and the characters are all very contemporary, yet it stays relatively close to the original stories and characters. It's consistently funny, especially in the way it riffs on the Sherlock Holmes canon, and Benedict Cumberbatch does a fantastic job of interpreting Holmes's character.
I highly recommend it.

For the record, while we viewers were not able to have the accuracy that Sherlock had in figuring out the combination to the safe, it defies logic that he would be able to determine it that specifically, even in the light of his superior observational skills.
It would have taken me about 10-15 tries...

I don't even remember the last few episodes of last season. Maybe I need to rewatch them.

Netflix The Queens Gambit

I watched BB22 with my son last night. His favorite candidate, Cory, won. It’s been on 22 years, and I honestly can’t say anything more about it than.. a bunch of people live in a house, play games to disqualify other members, vote someone off every week, and the last person left is declared winner. LOL.

Netflix The Queens Gambit
I've watched Episode 1. I liked it. Dan was hating it. I'll be watching it on my own. When we do watch TV, we usually watch it together, so I'll have to find a time to watch it on my own.

That's too bad, I quite liked it. Try to convince him to watch one more episode. It is a good story, but even if he still can't get into it he might just keep watching for the eye candy factor - Anya Taylor Joy is hot dressed 60's style.

Well what did you think?

Oh god, I loved it. I was anxious at times with her lifestyle of bad habits. But I've always loved chess and loved watching the games. Very enjoyable to watch.
I loved the ending. Meaning the last 2 minutes when she got out of the car in MOSCOW and walked.
(edit - changed Paris to Moscow)

Vår tid är nu (a/k/a The Restaurant) on Netflix. Swedish show in the tradition of Upstairs Downstairs. Set in Stockholm, post WWII, prominent restaurant family struggles in the aftermath of WWII. I haven’t binge watched a show in ages, but this one totally has me. Swedish with subtitles.

I've also enjoyed some of the Scandinavian content on Netflix.
Turn Me on, Dammit (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1650407/)
Teenage drama, somewhat unusual in that the horny and sexually frustrated main character is a girl.
The Heavy Water War (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3280150/)
Covert sabotage to keep WW2 Germany from getting their hands on the heavy water from Norway they needed for a plutonium production reactor
Occupied (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4192998/)
A hokey premise - Russia invades Norway after Norway threatens to stop selling oil and gas - but an interesting 24 episode story of how things might play out afterwards.
Unfortunately only Occupied is still on Netflix, though I did find a low quality copy of Turn Me on, Dammit on dailymotion a while ago.

Slight divergence to include radio.
On the BBC there is an occasional radio show created by Moe Syzslak Rich Hall (whom I love) about American life and attitudes. Over the last couple of weeks it has been about the election. I have come to the conclusion that it is easier to teach an American the laws of cricket than a Brit about the US election process ;D

I just finished watching ‘Breaking Bad’ on Netflix including the 2019 movie ‘El Camino’. I never watched it when it was big and first came out. I suppose I’ll try the prequel series ‘Better Call Saul’ next.

I've watched Breaking Bad twice now. Once pre-Dan, once with Dan. Enjoyed second time just as much as first.
I tried Better Call Saul, but never got into it. Only went about 7 episodes in before I gave up. Let me know your thoughts, I can always pick up where I left off.
El Camino was a fun follow up to BB. Good to see the characters after being away from it for so long (since I previously watched it).
-
We've done Breaking Bad three times now, movie twice.
Enjoy Better Call Saul. It's fun watching the characters develop as they move closer to the time of Breaking Bad. Seeing the construction of the underground meth lab under the laundry was fun.
Give it another try Jules.

Not a realistic portrayal of the futility and aftermath of a nuclear war then, Toe? I watched it again after your post as I wasn't sure I had seen it before, many years ago. I read that the director wanted to leave it ambiguous as to who fired first but the US DoD wouldn't co-operate unless he implied the USSR fired first.

Watched "Airplane" tonight. Forty years old and still funny as heck. My ass is still sore from laughing "it" off.
My cat, who sleeps on the chair with me when I watch TV, was pissed. Kept waking him up when I LOLed all the time.

Speaking of Shirley. Well, not exactly. But kinda...
I got sucked into the wormhole IMDB.
We watched "BIG" with Tom Hanks yesterday because Dan's girls had never watched it. They loved it by the way. Like with most movies or shows I'm watching, I get on IMDB. I see Penny Marshall directed it. I end up going to her IMDB page. And she was a star in Laverne and Shirley
So, I end up on the Laverne and Shirley IMDB page. And am looking through that. I kind of sort of remember it because my family was hooked on Happy Days and sitcom television shows when all I wanted to do was watch Disney movies in the VCR.
And a couple of hours later I'm on my News+ App and I see the mention of Laverne and Shirley. It seems one of the actors from the show died yesterday. Squigy
-
I too go to IMDB all the time while watching TV. Often I see an actor or recognize their voice and look them up to find what show I'd seen them on before.
If streaming older shows it's fun to look at the trivia section. Some interesting facts about the making of the shows add to my enjoyment of what I'm watching.
I noted Squiggy's passing in the TV Movie section the other day.

3 episodes Wednesday and finished the other 4 last night. I was hooked that moment where we got a glimpse of mommy’s doctorate dissertation in mathematics from Cornell.
Mommy being bat shit crazy and the substance abuse made it dark and foreboding. I won’t go beyond that hint of a spoiler.

"Emily In Paris" on Netflix.

Fisherman's Friends, on Netflix. Inspired by true events, it is about a small Cornish fishing town where the fishermen have been singing sea songs for many years until one day a record producer hears them and cuts an album of their songs. The album charts higher then anyone anticipated and the singing fishermen have been singing for over 30 years.

Watched "Casablanca", yet again last night. It's no doubt the movie I've seen the most times. It still continues to entrance me.
There's a "making of" feature on our DVD that gives a lot of the background on the making of this film.
My favorite is near the end at the airport. Shot in a studio, they used a one third size cardboard airplane in the background. Small size for perspective. To add realism, midgets we're brought in to "work" on the plane and their small stature fit the downsized plane.
That technique was repeated by Riddly Scott in "Alien". He used his son and some his friends in space suits in front of a "giant" alien. Was a near disaster as the suits the kids were in weren't cooled and they came close to heat exhaustion.
-
After a long gap I have finally finished "Lost". The hiatus was caused by UK mainline TV stations dropping it at about series 3 and other media still wanting £25 per series. Didn't finish it until I subscribed to Amazon Prime. I have a reputation for persevering with books, films and TV series no matter how bad but this sorely tried my patience; it started well but just got sillier and sillier. I cannot understand its high rating on IMDb nor its description of 'ground breaking'. IMHO its nowhere near the same class as "The Wire", "The West Wing", "The Sopranos", "Line Of Duty", "Hill Street Blues" (now that really, really was ground breaking), "Breaking Bad" or "Better Call Saul".

Tried watching The Prom because of my love for musicals.
First 10 minutes I was laughing and was expecting a wonderful 2 hours. By the 30 minute mark I wasn't even paying attention. Don't know what it was, but I couldn't watch any more.
The girls finished watching it and I asked them a bit ago how it was and they said it was good, but not in a very enthusiast tone.

msslave - I never pass up the chance to watch any movie with Humphrey Bogart in it. Casablanca has so many memorable quotes in it. A classic.

Thanks Watcher, I hadn't heard of this before. Unfortunately it's not on UK Netflix and Amazon Prime wants me to pay extra for it. Probably worth the £7.99 especially as Daniel Mays is one of the leads though.

The Spy Who Dumped Me
Ok, so I didn't fully watch it, it was on in the background. What I did see of it made me smile or giggle. So it was a decent movie, but I loved it for one very specific thing. The nude scene.
Just one woman's opinion, but......
Disproportionate amount of naked women being shown in comparison to naked men (and their ding dong being shown) in movies.

The Ripper on Netflix. A documentary about the gruesome murders of women in the West Yorkshire area of England in the late 70s. Even though they caught the serial killer, the police did not come out looking that professional in their tracking the killer down.

Spent 15 bucks for a membership to HBO MAX to see Wonder Woman 84. Figured I'd spend that much, at least, going to the theater to see the flick.
The first sequence is like the first WW film, after that it sharply drops off of a cliff. The mall sequence, the second sequence in the film, is cringe worthy bad. The bad guys are cartoonishly written and performed and the sequence reminds me of a badly written, badly acted and horribly produced mid 80's TV show (maybe they were aiming for that).
What happened in this film is that it is the victim of the first film's success. No doubt favors were called in to get everybody's relative and friend a job on this way too long, poorly written, poorly produced, overly long mess. Avoid at all costs. :sign_ignore:
And, oh yeah, HBO MAX-I had to search and dig to find a movie that I liked in it's catalog. This must be where discarded movies go to die. :facepalm: So, then I tried Netflix. A handful of movies I like there, the rest are like the poor catalog at HBO MAX. :emot_yawn::emot_yawn: :emot_yawn:

When I saw what HBO wanted for WW, I told my wife “I’ll be able to get it on Amazon in another 30 days.“ I’ve really cut my new movie watching down to one or two a year. Everything that Hollywood cranks out seems to be a horribly done remake of a movie that wasn’t that good to begin with. Particularly the comic book ones.

1991 to be pedantic, but yes they are very good. Seven series/stories of two or three episodes each. If you can search it out I can also recommend "Widows" from 1983 by the same writer (Lynda La Plante); I think it has been remade as a feature film.

According to a study of more than 3,500 movie scripts by the Buzz Bingo website, Martin Scorsese's "The Wolf of Wall Street" is the most expletive-laden film of all time, with 715 curse words, more than "Uncut Gems" (646), "Casino" (606), "Jay and Silent Strike Back" (509) and the Brad Pitt WW II movie "Fury" (489).
I have only seen Casino. Any movie with De Niro or Samuel L Jackson in it will have many F bombs.

I watched the trailer for "Shogun" with Richard Chamberlain - a mini-series from about 1980. 12 hours long, but I remember watching the whole thing in its segments back then. It was really quite good and certainly informative about Japan in the era of the Samurai. It can actually be purchased on DVD, and I am tempted just to be able to watch it again.
-
Shogun is one of my favorite books. The mini-series was well done. But, even at 12 hours there's a lot left out that's in the book. I'd recommend reading the book first, then watch the DVDs. You can fill in what the TV series had to leave out.
-
Now wait! "Sweating" or "Swearing" or is it Sweating while swearing....or swearing because you're sweating.....or ????? :emot_laughing:
Fixed it.
Fucking autocorrect
Good for you.....forgive me for laughing. Didn't mean to offend in any way. It just struck me funny, but don't you hate that auto correct. It gets to be a real pain in the ass.
No offense taken, even gave you a Woo for the creative spell checking :emot_kiss:

You're right, of course. I am an avid reader, but this is one that I have just failed to read. Amazon, here I come. Thanks.

"Red Sparrow". Very violent and contains an extreme example of something I may have ranted posted about in the So Irritating (http://www.kristensboard.com/forums/index.php?topic=71969) thread.
i.e. The hero is tied to a chair and menaced by sadistic torturer; heroine manages to stun said torturer but rather than finishing him of with one of the array of knives on display she wastes time releasing the hero from his bonds; torturer regains consciousness and attacks hero and heroine; a bloody battle ensues until torturer is finally despatched.
However it does have a rather delightful view of Jennifer Lawrence's left boob

Dark Waters - film came out in 2019. Stars Mark Ruffalo as an attorney who takes on DuPont over their poisoning the drinking water of a town in West Virginia. Dupont had dumped tons of toxic waste from their production of Teflon. A very good David vs Goliath story.

Watching BRIDGERTON on Netflix. A story set in London high society where match making and courting of the young takes place. I'm enjoying it. Dan watched for less than 15 minutes, picked up his magazine and said, "Tell me if there is any nudity."
I'm halfway through Episode 4.
I lasted as long as Dan, even knowing there was a hot sex scene in one of the episodes. ;D
Sex, orgies, more sex.... almost forgot there was actually a plot.

"Birth of a Cool" A wonderful documentary on the life of Miles Davis. I suppose being a huge fan of his music made me bit partial, but I was glued to it. I got emotional. I even cried toward the end when people discussed the circumstances of his death. Great narration, an amazing array of interviews, and of course a lot of incredible film footage of Miles himself.
It's on Netflix...

News of the World, starring Tom Hanks.
This is a must see for anyone that admires great acting, great production values, great directing, and the other unsung things that go into making a movie (make up, costumes, pre production location scouting, etc.).
Tom Hanks plays a lonely Civil War veteran that makes his living going town to town reading newspaper stories to people because they're too busy trying to survive-farming, being a black smith, merchant, etc. In an overturned wagon, outside a town, he finds an 11 year old girl and a dead adult in the wagon is carrying papers that the girl was abducted by the Kiowa (and raised by them) and needs to be returned to her family 500 miles away. Hanks undertakes the quest, dealing with an uncooperative child, blood thirsty pedophiles, Kiowa and a county run by hardcore rednecks.
I could be wrong, but I think this movie was scheduled to be a late year movie to get in line for Oscar season. This movie richly deserves Oscars all around. Hanks delivers a stellar performance as does the child (Helena Zengel). Shout outs to make up for making everyone look filthy all the time (the mid 1800's were a different time) as well as costuming, the writers, the director, and the afore mentioned pre production location scouts. Where they found all that open, unspoiled land astounds me and deeply impresses me. Only once did I see obvious tire tracks.
A shout out to the production design people (they build sets). I grew up in the old west and buildings they were in were clearly either genuine 19th century buildings or the set builders had an incredible knack for accuracy.
If you have the time and like any of the above, definitely see the movie.

So I just finished Queens Gambit, and I have to say, I dont think I've ever been so excited about something so boring as chess.

I watched Places in the Heart today. It’s a film from 1984 that won best picture. Sally Field won best actress, as well. Her “you really like me“ speech was made when she accepted her award.
Anyway, the movie is set in Waxahachie, Ellis County, Texas, back during the Great Depression. The story revolves around a group of people thrown together after Sally Field’s law enforcement husband is killed by a bullet shot accidentally by a drunk black man.
My father’s mother grew up in Ellis County during the Great Depression. They lost their cotton farm to the bank, and the whole family was uprooted. So I have always had a very emotional attachment and response to this film. Two hanky Friday, on the coldest day of the year so far. Danny Glover and John Malkovich both put in Oscar worthy performances as well.

Last night we relaxed on the couch with popcorn and a bourbon for me, wine for him, as we watched the Morgan Freeman movie "The Magic of Belle Isle". I couldn't help but think of "Driving Miss Daisey" with him switching roles. I liked it. A nice feel good movie.
Some cute and funny lines throughout.
I loved Carl. "What happened to the Slim Jims."

I'm not sure if this can be seen outside the UK but I have just finished watching "Upstart Crow" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upstart_Crow). Whether you love or loathe Shakespeare this is very funny, written by Ben Elton who wrote Blackadder (series 2-4) it has many similarities in humour and also references it and other classic UK comedies such as "The Office" and "The Fall And Rise Of Reginald Perrin".

A Canadian movie on Prime Video titled Porcupine Lake (2017) Genre: Drama, LGBTQ (I believe it can be viewed on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QD4mWdoS_Lw) if you have an account to prove you're old enough.)
Porcupine Lake is a subtle story of adolescent curiosity and exploration. One critic described it as a female coming of age movie.
Bea (Charlotte Salisbury), a shy 13-year-old city girl (and her mother) spend the summer visiting her father in a small country town where she becomes friends with Kate (Lucinda Armstrong Hall), an outgoing girl about her age or slightly older.
A bit of dialogue is indicative of their relative maturity. Kate mentions that her brother seems to have a boner all the time and Bea asks what a boner is.
The two lead characters explore kissing a few times, including one scene where Kate gives Bea a lesson in French kissing. At one point Kate gives Bea a gift, her favorite pair of underwear (from the outside clothesline where it was hung to dry). That puzzled me a little. Is that a girl thing? In a later scene, Bea seemed really happy to have it.
Lucinda Armstrong Hall was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress role at the Canadian equivalent of the Academy Awards.
The film debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival and was nominated as the best Canadian feature film.
-
"Emmanuelle In Soho" - the last of the British soft core sex films of the 70s. Completely unrelated to the original Emmanuelle films it is best described as poor soft corn, not only is it very dated but also terribly acted. On the plus side there is more full frontal nudity than you can shake a merkin at performed by some very beautiful girls and a ground breaking (for a general release film) 'lesbians in the bath' scene.

I was in Montana in September, and a bit more briefly about 4-5 years ago. I like Montana, a lot.
I knew a girl from Montana, chatted online. Bad things happened to her. Whatever you might imagine, it was worse. She showed me pictures at some point of insulated shirts men wear in Montana and said she wanted me to wear those. She also showed me pictures of Stetson cowboy hats, saying I needed one of those too. I briefly lost contact with her. During that time I bought a couple of the shirts and a ~$200 Stetson in a cowboy gear store in of all places, Pennsylvania. Turns out the reason I lost contact with the girl was more bad things happened to her, again worse than you want to know. I reminded her she wanted me to get the hat and shirts, but she didn’t remember, the trauma I think. I’ve heard she shows up in the chat sometimes looking for me. I’m not there at all these days. I tried her old aol e-mail, but she stopped replying. My last news of her was second hand, and again wasn’t good. I got married again, so not much I can do.
Anyways, last two days I’ve been watching the show Yellowstone about a Montana ranching family and wearing that fucking hat.

Mine is a 4X and grey. If I recall there were only a couple options in my size, 7 1/2. It sat on the rack so long when the woman took the size tag off it was darker grey underneath. It has a little dark square in front, might take a while for that to fade away.
I’m thinking I’d like another color, maybe a tan 6X. I’ll wait until I go out west again and find a bigger store with more options. I’d buy online, but then you can’t try on several and then decide. I don’t do returns, they’re a pain.
Around here you get stared at wearing a hat like these, not common at all like I’m sure it is in Texas. It certainly wouldn’t be business attire.
LBJ. I like the old joke where the girl thinks that Spanish for ‘the blow job’.

Love Yellowstone. We need to sign up for Peacock for a month and binge season 3.
I've never been a fan of Kevin Costner, but he's okay in this. Kelly Reilly's character of Beth Dutton is my favorite.

We watched Wonder Woman 1984. Yikes. Graphics and special effects not good. Acting by main characters were so-so, but the secondary characters were brutal. Just so not worth the $20 amazon rental fee. Cheaper than taking the whole family to the movies though.

Last night I watched for the umpteenth time The Great Scoit and the Cathousr Thursday 1986 with Kay Lenz.

I finished season 3 last night. It seems season 4 will be on later this year. Unsurprisingly, there were several cliffhangers.
Was a funny moment when the ex-methhead is in an unfunny hospital situation and the cute girl he met at the rodeo walks in. She barely knows him just to witness the nurse remove his catheter and asks if it made it swollen. The nurse replies, ‘Nope, that’s how God made him.’
And she says, ‘Well, that takes away the mystery.’

Watched Remember Me this afternoon. I'm not going to mention how it ends.
As things turned for the better near the end, as most movies do, I was completely blown away at the final twist in the last minutes of the movie. My heart hit my stomach and I started crying and walked out of the room.
It was a ruined my day type of thing.

Just watched I Care A Lot on Netflix. Not a bad movie. The topic was different. One woman using the courts to take possession of assets of older, usually wealthy, persons that suffer from health issues. She gets court orders mandating these people be placed in care facilities and that she becomes the guardian of their assets. She sells off the assets for personal gain, splitting up the money among her co -conspirators. A nice racket until they dupe an elderly lady connected to the mob.
-
We were all 'iffy' if we were going to watch that, Rick. I think we will now.

A movie on Prime Video titled Fathers and Daughters, 2015.
Starring Russell Crowe and Amanda Seyfried. Other cast members include Jane Fonda and Octavia Spencer. The credits also 'Introduced' Kylie Rogers as young Katie, which is odd because her filmography dates back to 2012.
A Pulitzer-winning writer (Crowe) grapples with being a widower and father after a mental breakdown, while, 25 years later, his now grown daughter (Seyfried) struggles to forge connections of her own. The movie switches back and forth between 1989 (when Katie was eight) and 2014.
Some heavy emotion involved, but it was an interesting movie to watch.

"The Americans"
Taken a long time time to see all 6 series because of the vagaries of the scheduling on UK television and we are not binge watchers. In fact there was such a long time between viewing season 2 & 3 that that we repeated 1 & 2.
IMHO it is right up there with "The Sopranos", "The Wire", "Breaking Bad" and "The West Wing".

NomadLand
I liked it. But I have mixed feelings about it. I don't know how I was supposed to walk away feeling about the film. I was saddened in a way. While at the same time a bit mesmerized by how some of these people are living.
Fern, the main focus of the film, I walked out struggling with trying to understand if she had mental issues, or she was just dealt a blow of bad luck. Mental issues because she was seemed content with her new lifestyle, even becoming accustomed to it. Yet other people living the same lifestyle were embracing and thriving in it.
The one thing that fascinated me was her freedom to just go where she wanted. The film locations were all so beautiful, and it showed Fern embracing those places, if even for a short time.
To me, it was a documentary on the Nomad lifestyle from one persons view.
It was worth the $10.50 theatre ticket. So was the over priced self administered overly buttered popcorn with white cheddar popcorn and large frozen coke.

Tina, an HBO documentary on the life of Tina Turner. Her ex physically abused her almost daily, even though she was the person most concert goers went to hear and see. Once she broke free of him, she wanted to be known as a Black woman Rock and Roll singer. She worked hard to achieve that title. I enjoyed the two hour documentary, except for the types of physical abuse she endured.

"Left Behind" (2014 version) - my new* worst film ever, although it does make me perversely want to watch the sequels and the 2000 version just to see if they can be as bad. What was Nicholas Cage thinking of subjecting himself to this rubbish?

Yes, not only is the premise batshit crazy, it's the appalling production values.

Fever Pitch on Prime Video. 2005 Rated PG-13
If you like baseball you might like this movie. If you like rom-coms, you'll probably like this movie. If you like both, you should definitely watch this movie.
Jimmy Fallon stars as Ben Wrightman, middle school math teacher by vocation, Red Sox fanatic by avocation. Drew Barrymore is Lindsey Meeks, a professional woman in a high stress job. At the age of "20+10" she has nothing to show for it except a career. Boy meets girl and off we go...
If I've ever seen a movie with a sappier ending, I can't recall it, but I like watching feel good movies that have happy endings and this one was fun to watch.

I agree about the ending.

I was inordinately fond of a sitcom called “Superstore.” It was about the employees of a fictional big box retail store called Cloud 9. This was the final year, and I had the series finale on my DVR. Not M*A*S*H, but I honestly shed a tear, because the characters were all quite funny, snd the cast played off each other so well. There is very little television I care to watch. I’ll miss this show.

Not the last thing I watched, but Brimstone 2016. A very dark highly sexual western that could have been a couple chapters of my story The Glory Hole.
Spoiler alert:
A movie in 4 parts not in chronological order. Extremely strict minister in a Dutch western U.S. community believes his wife is not behaving as he wishes despite his brutal encouragement, so he decides his barely pubescent daughter should take her place. The wife’s objections are met with some twisted and public responses leading her to commit suicide in church in front of the congregation.
You later see this sick fuck alone in bed, but the covers are pulled back revealing a blood stain in the bed. You realize he deflowered his young daughter while his wife’s body isn’t cold yet, who you later see has run away wearing only her night clothes. She’s picked up by a Chinese family in a wagon and took to a town. The Chinese guy knows the saloon keeper/ brothel owner and sells the girl to him. Her youth gets the immediate attention of a particularly sleazy customer, who is told he can’t afford her, so he pays extra to have the girl watch (and him watch her) while he fucks one of the older whores. After, he orders the girl to clean him off with her mouth and instead gets shot in the back by the whore who is later hung for murder.
Flash forward, the girl is now older and servicing a customer. She’s told there will be a gunfight outside, and she and another whore urge the guy fucking her to hurry up so they can go watch.
It’s dark, violent and sick, and really affirms my opinion of strict religious people. I also might watch it again.

The Last Picture Show (1971) with a 21 year old Cybill Shepherd in her first role. I’m not sure I ever saw this film uncut before, was a very long time ago if I did. Also Cloris Leachman who recently passed, a young Jeff Bridges, and a young Randy Quaid in his first role and long before he went completely nuts. Other actors I recognized as well, like Ben Johnson, Clu Gulager and Ellen Burstyn.

High school seniors and best friends, Sonny (Timothy Bottoms) and Duane (Jeff Bridges), live in a dying Texas town. The handsome Duane is dating local beauty, Jacy (Cybill Shepherd), while Sonny is having an affair with the coach's wife, Ruth (Cloris Leachman). As graduation nears, both boys contemplate their futures. While Duane eyes the army and Sonny takes over a local business, each boy struggles to figure out if he can escape this dead-end town and build a better life somewhere else.
Peter Bogdanovich cherry picked young Cybill Shepherd from this movie. Who can blame him.
The book is by famous Texas novelist Larry (Lonesome Dove) McMurtry, about his childhood in Archer City, Texas. Archer City is not too far from where I grew up, and the themes of the film have always resonated with me.

I kind of figured it did. I thought about you when I was watching.
I read the wiki entry for it during and after watching plus looked up more about it and the actors. Interesting choice filming in black and white. I may watch it again, I was channel surfing and turned in on right at the scene where she’s stripping on the diving board and was going no where after that, so I missed the beginning.

I loved that TV adaptation of Lonesome Dove starring Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones, must have been a few years ago now.

I have all four episodes on my DVR. I absolutely love that movie. One of the few that did the book justice. “We don’t rent pigs.”

Double feature at the drive-in.
First movie was an animated film called Raya and the last dragon. It was cute but didn't follow it because of conversations. Normally dont talk during movies, but we were in a car away from everybody else so whatever.
Cruella. It was a fun origin story to the villain in 101 Dalmatians, Cruella Deville. It was an entertaining story of two ruthless women battling it out over fame, fashion and revenge, with a twist ending that should have been obvious but never thought about it. The fashion was unique and intriguing and the sound track was amazing. This movie also turned the tide a bit and made Cruella more of an antihero than a villain, and made the Dalmatians in it villains instead of victims.
All in all, it was fun, and quite enjoyable.

Shiela mentioned the Kaminsky Method on Netflix, which is one of my favorite shows. I have started the new season, and must admit to being disappointed. Michael Douglas looks terrible, I mean scary terrible. With Alan Arkin gone, a very worthy foil, Douglas just seems very sad to me now. He’s 76. My parents are 78. I shouldn’t be surprised.

Love and Monsters, its just a dumb film on Netflix but the girls loved it, and it was fun in parts.

My dad loves car shows and he enjoys the hosts Jeremy Clarkson. Apparently this car enthusiast decided to try farming for a year and made an eight episode series of it. Eight hours of a guy who never farmed try farming. It was pretty funny, but I had a hard time when it came to the sheel. Not only was it sad for some, but I'm not a fan of sheel. Their eyes completely creep me out. Anyways, it was decent and on Amazon prime

Just started watching this and enjoying it very much. Kaleb is great and nobody outside Gerald's village (or maybe just his house) can understand a word he says ;D. Clarkson who is worth £48M does have the advantage that when faced with a problem he can just throw money at it, not a solution available to the ordinary farmer in the UK. At 1000 acres that is a big farm for a private owner in the UK.
Love the new avatar, Shiela :emot_kiss:

£48M. They should have given him a realistic budget, and then he might not have been spendy mcspend face on that Lamborghini tractor. I didn't even know Lamborghini made tractors. But let's not get bogged down with that. Gerald is hilarious. Even when you can understand the words he's saying, you still have no idea what he's talking about.
Glad you like it love :emot_kiss:

According to Wiki, David Brown bought Aston Martin in 1947 and put AM under the David Brown Tractor Group, though I don't think Aston Martin itself ever built tractors.
Also interesting, AM started off as Bamford & Martin, and the 'Aston' comes from Aston Clinton in Buckinhamshire, where Bamford & Martin had success in hill climb events.

I’ve been watching a lot of the Holmes Inspection shows on DIY lately. I just love this big baldheaded Canadian saying stuff like “rip that whole wall out.” Or “ “We’re gonna have to dig the foundation 8 inches deeper.” Or “pull out all the wiring, this box isn’t code.” Seems like what I’d do if I had a lot money and no brains.

Finished watching Clarkson's farm on amazon prime. It really was entertaining, the whole way through, and even a little educational. I'm sure the critics will be out calling it a disaster, but I really enjoyed it, and my dad thought it an absolute riot. Gerald in the combine had me laughing so hard.
"I've done a thing!"

Readers of my irregular rants on this thread will be pleased to hear that I have discovered a worse film than Armageddon. Wrath Of The Titans (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1646987/?ref_=tt_urv) is an unnecessary sequel to an unnecessary remake of the classic 1981 Clash Of The Titans (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082186/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2). A truly terrible example of crash bang wallop action intentionally fast so that that it covers up the CGI defficiencies, never mind the abysmal script. How can Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes bring themselves to utter such drivel (well Neeson, maybe I can believe). Ray Harryhausen will be stop-motioning in his grave.

Just finished all series of "The Man In The High Castle". I haven't mentioned it before so as not to invite spoilers. Popular opinion is that the 3rd and 4th season went seriously downhill. I haven't read the book but have now ordered it.

I read the book, which I enjoyed, and I've had the series in my Queue for several years, but for whatever reason, I haven't started it yet. Perhaps this might serve as an impetus.
Meanwhile, I'm currently streaming "The Underground Railroad." I read that book, too, and I loved it. It's only vaguely "historical fiction," since there are strong elements of "magical realism" (and I'm not sure that's the right word), which make it even more fascinating.
The streaming series stands up to the novel, and it's utterly compelling. However, it's extremely brutal -- both physically, emotionally, and psychological -- and at the end of an episode I find myself exhausted. There was a scene in the first episode that was more brutal and more shockingly inhumane than anything I've ever seen before in a TV show or movie. It perfectly fits within the context of the series and its topic, but I had to wait about a week after watching that episode before I watched the second one.

Glad you mentioned The Underground Railroad (and the warning, Mrs ODK definitely wouldn't want to watch it). It's making its way towards the top of my to see list. I never binge watch anything, usually a single episode a night with several days in between, two episodes a night is the maximum. Can mean I can't remember what happened in earlier series though.

I'll admit that at one point I put my hands over my eyes and took little peeks until the scene was over.
But it's worth noting that it is 100% contextual, and 0% objectionable. In a way, and in context, it was "necessary."

Duntsch used cocaine and alcohol before he operated, performed unnecessary surgeries, abandoned at least one patient postoperatively, and refused to take a drug test when repeatedly asked to do so. Under his care, one patient died. Two of my friends brought the civil suits against him and the hospital. Baylor made $65,000 on each surgery he performed, and kicked back an additional $50,000 a month to Duntsch. His license has been permanently suspended by the Texas Board of Medical Examiners.

It is a $250,000 cap for non-economic damages like physical pain, mental anguish, and disfigurement. So a parents anguish over the death of a child is capped at $250,000. Perry pushed this through in 2003, and it hasn’t changed since. Only worth $169,000 today, adjusted for inflation.

I watched Episode 5 last night, and it's worth noting that that scene is not indicative of the content going forward.
I'm finding it to be one of the most fascinating things I've ever seen. I used the phrase "magical realism" above, and while it's "historical," you have to suspend your historical knowledge to truly appreciate it. There are blatant anachronisms and gross departures from the historical record, and they're all intentional, and part of the tapestry the producers (based on the novel) have created.
In other words, it's not "12 Years A Slave" or "Roots" or any other depiction of the condition of American slaves you've ever seen before.

"Roots" was a straightforward narrative of a American slavery, beginning with the capture of a black man in Africa and his transportation across the Atlantic, and ending (as I recall) at end of the U.S. Civil War.

Just seen the last episode of Clarkson's Farm. I think the overall profit for the year of £144 may have been exaggerated for the TV. Clarkson had a manager running it for him for a few years before the manager retired and he decided to farm personally. Also think they didn't amortize the equipment costs in an acceptable way; would have liked to have seen the full balance sheet.

While it's been a while since I watched "Roots," I don't recall that particular scene.
;)
Meanwhile, while it was before my time, I think it's impossible to overestimate the enormous effects of that series, both then and now.
Yet your comments are more than a bit off.
I suspect that most people in 1977 didn't believe, as you note, that a television miniseries would change the state of race relations in the U.S. forever, and create some short of post-racial utopian society.
Which makes your phrase -- "Yet, here we are still" -- very jarring. Do you honestly believe that the state of race relations -- and, more important -- the recognition of civil rights under law -- remains exactly the same today as it did in 1977 more than 40 years ago?
"Roots," to borrow the phrase, changed the narrative. It thrust the realities of our chattel slave system into the living rooms of tens of millions of white Americans. It changed the way we viewed the realities of slavery, it changed the way students were taught about slavery, and, most important of all, it limned a direct connection between slavery and the continuing rights struggles for modern-day Black Americans. In a very real way, "Roots" made BLM possible -- and necessary.
"Here we still are"? Sure, race relations are still a problem, the rights of Black Americans are still not fully recognized, and racism -- both systemic racism and good old-fashioned racism -- still exist. But the progress from 1977 to 2021 has been enormous, and denying that progress can be damaging, especially for Black Americans.

Call it my naivety at the time then MissB. I honestly believed in my teen years of the late 1970s that racism was over and done with. I had black friends in school, just didn’t see any differences in how we were treated. Maybe if I had quizzed them at the time, they would have dispelled my illusions. If you told me then that over 40 years later the Republican Party of which my entire family was a member back then would currently be giving white supremacy a wink and a nod, I would have found that incomprehensible.

I sort of wondered about this show. I’ve spent a lot of time at the Outer Banks, long enough that when the surfer dudes abbreviated it OBX even before text speak was in play, I found it very annoying. It’s the Outer Banks, the most beautiful long stretch of beach in the world, the beach by which I compare all other beaches, and find those other beaches in the Mediterranean of Spain, France, Italy, Greece and Turkey, in the numerous places in the Caribbean, in California, in South America and Central America, in Hawaii and especially in Florida, well those beaches are no where near as nice as the Outer Banks.
So you see my dilemma my dear, despite how good that show might be, it runs a high risk of pissing me off with inaccuracies about the Outer Banks.
And wanna see a weird coincidence? While writing this post I just realized what shirt I’ve had on all day:

Cocaine Cowboys on Netflix. Took the government over 20 years to prosecute the two largest drug dealers in Miami but the series did a good job of showing the obstacles the government had to overcome to finally put them away. I could empathize with the police and federal agents as I personally knew of someone who worked for the Miami-Dade County department during the 70s. It was literally the Wild West there.

Ok, so it is a combination between being super bored and my growing appreciation for animation, but I'm watching a star track cartoon. Below decks.
If I wasnt paid up, I most likely would have never watched it. Kind of funny actually.

Half of the first episode of Solos on Amazon Prime.
Attracted to it by the fact that some episodes have Helen Mirren (slaver,slaver) and Morgan Freeman in them. All it seemed to be was a woman I didn't recognise screaming fuck at a future version of herself. Anyone suggest I should persevere?

I'm still mowing through Deadliest Catch, on season 11 now.
I also watched all of Nostalgia Critic's Jurassic Park/World reviews. I have one VERY clear reason to recommend you all watch at least the Jurassic Park review.
It's the Mother-Fucking T-Rex Song Check at around 14:36 (It isn't right at the song so you get context) and then later at around 24:56. Also, yes, this song does come back in other reviews, including Jurassic World:

Attack of the 50 Foot Cheerleader (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2098627/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_3) (2012) Amazon Prime.
No, I didn't make that up. And yes, I watched the whole movie. ;D
The most charitable thing I can say about this film is that it's not as bad as Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2098627/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_3) (1978). :facepalm:
I will concede that some of the special effects are interesting, relative to... female anatomy.
If anyone cares, the IMDB rating is 4.4 out of 10.

Manhunt: The Nightstalker. The dramatised story of the final stages of the almost 20 year search for one of the most vile criminals the UK has ever known. Harrowing.

We did first two episodes of " Midnight Mass". By second show it really started to ramp up. I didn't like the beach scene of that tho'. Just glad our kitties were off somewhere napping. They would have been upset.
And, poor Pike.
Looking forward to this next episode.

Actually it is based on books by Andrzej Sapkowski. He published the first short story The Witcher in 1986. Wrote 14 more short stories before doing the first novel in 1994. TBH haven't read them but it's a rich world with Polish flavor. Playing Witcher 3 now to get a feel for the world. Think LOTR but with a lot more brutal world. The first season of Netflix Witcher is hard to follow i will give you that, it is broken up into different time periods without telling you about it. Just know that almost everything to do with Geralt is in the past up until after the child surpirse, everything to do with Ciri is much later ( about 10 years after the child surprise) and the reason why Geralt and Yennifer do not age is because they are mutated/magical beings. It's ok to be confused, i think they wanted to confuse people a little bit.

I kind of got that when they one woman a queen I guess, sort of returned from the dead and wanted to kill the hedgehog guy... that's when I realized it was split into two different times. I almost started to rewatch it so it made more sense, but then I decided to watch scrubs again instead lol.
Had no clue about the books though, I'll most likely never read them, but maybe if I run out of other stuff that interest me :emot_kiss:

The Voyeurs (2021, Amazon Studios) on Prime Video
Pippa (Sydney Sweeney) and her boyfriend move into an apartment and become interested in the view out the window--right into the apartment across the street. Pippa becomes obsessed. Her boyfriend sets up a way she can listen to what they are saying. She buys binoculars, but her boyfriend can't handle it and soon moves out.
As innocuously as the story begins, it quickly turns into a thriller/suspense movie. I have to confess, during Pippa's nude scenes I pretty much forgot about the plot. It's well worth watching just for those. Anyway, that's about all I can say without giving away the twists that follow. The ending was a little confusing (or maybe it's just that I was distracted), but I think I've finally figured it out.

Outer Banks. Group of teenagers try to find a lost treasure worth $400 million. I'm enjoying it but it gets so frustrating at the same time.
If the movie National Treasure, and Netflix series Thirteen Reasons Why had a baby, it would be Outer Banks
I sort of wondered about this show. I’ve spent a lot of time at the Outer Banks, long enough that when the surfer dudes abbreviated it OBX even before text speak was in play, I found it very annoying. It’s the Outer Banks, the most beautiful long stretch of beach in the world, the beach by which I compare all other beaches, and find those other beaches in the Mediterranean of Spain, France, Italy, Greece and Turkey, in the numerous places in the Caribbean, in California, in South America and Central America, in Hawaii and especially in Florida, well those beaches are no where near as nice as the Outer Banks.
So you see my dilemma my dear, despite how good that show might be, it runs a high risk of pissing me off with inaccuracies about the Outer Banks.
And wanna see a weird coincidence? While writing this post I just realized what shirt I’ve had on all day:
(https://i.imgur.com/gtRjAUk.jpg)
In the middle of the 4th episode. It’s filmed in the Charleston area of South Carolina, while a beautiful area for different reasons, it’s not the Outer Banks of North Carolina. There are no palm trees at the Outer Banks, no boutiques, no high rise buildings and the uber wealthy are scarce even as vacationers during the summer.
I find myself losing track of this show because I’m doing things like posting on KB, but I do pay attention at the jiggle and bikini clad hotties.

We've been re-watching "The Expanse" on Amazon Prime. It's one of the better Sci-Fi show ever done. Mainly because they've been following the series of books very close. We felt we needed to review the show prior to the final season coming sometime in December.
That's kinda strange, as the final book of the series is being released the end of this month. Guess Amazon isn't taking the TV series to the end of the books.
The dialog is crisp and quite cutting at times and keeps the show moving at a fast pace. The CGI of the space battles is also quite good. The actors seem like the stepped out of the pages of the book.
***SPOILER***
I was surprised by one major departure from the book in the last season aired. After a high G burn to rescue a fellow crewman, the pilot collapsed and my wife said, "Oh, he's dead." Me, having read the book said, "Nah." Damned if he didn't die. That sent me online to see WTF. The actor in question had been accused of 30 sexual assaults including some minors. So, Kill the F**ker!
Have to see who the new pilot will be for the upcoming season.
***End Spoiler***
My personal favorite is an actress from Iran, Shohreh Aghdashloo. No, I can't pronounce it either. She plays a crusty government official on Earth who's the only one who knows what's going on. Foul mouth and quick with a come back she's a delight to watch on the screen. And she looks hot too. (To an old guy) Not to mention lot's of exotic costumes the put her in.

Just back from a friends' house where we streamed the latest James Bond movie, "No Time To Die". All I can say is, WOW!
One of the best Bond movies ever, and I've seen 'em all. Filled with action, suspense, even occasional duologue. The credits at the end showed more stunt men than cast.
They pulled out all the stops for Daniel Craig's last appearance as 007. No, not a spoiler, that has been in the news ever before the movie came out.
Watching with friends made the day even more enjoyable.

I agree! There was a lot of negative feedback on this one, but as you said, it was Daniel Craig’s final appearance as Bond. No one since Sean Connery has completely owned the role and made it his own. I loved it.

The Wheel of Time series on Amazon Prime. I read the books a while ago, and besides The Sword of Truth series, it is my favorite fantasy fiction series. I try to stay away from movie and TV adaptations because they always seem to fail miserably, but the previews looked promising and I thought I'd give it a try.
I will say that I am not fully disappointed with it, but there are some things that just bother me to no end. The one that I can not forgive is what they did to one of the lead characters Perrin.
[SPOILERS]
In the book he is a blacksmith apprentice, but in the show he runs the forge with his wife... he is supposed to be single and they make him that way, by having him accidentally kill his wife. I HATE that. I love his character and the way his story unfolds, and to start him out like that is a tur punch to me.
[END]
Dispire that, it is actually quite enjoyable. Names, places, and powers are the same, and the show follows the same path as the books, but the story is quite different in how it's told...
I'm going to keep watching and I hope it redeems itself for the Perrin atrocity before then end of season one.

I just finished watching Aliens. Ripley is such a phenomenal character. Filmmakers today can really from that...you look at something like the Charlie's Angels reboot - tauted by the cast as a empowering feminist film. Yet, let the film stand on its own, it falls flat. They wanted to be empowering and failed. Ripley in Aliens was.

Killed our Christmas Eve afternoon watching "Don't Look Up" on Netflix. The satire is quite funny in a scary way. A comet is headed toward Earth for a direct hit that will kill the planet. A plan is made to destroy the comet with the launch of several missiles at once guided by a profane ex-astronaut, only to have them turn back when it's discovered that the comet is full of valuable minerals. The deniers are only thinly veiled as Covid deniers, making the comedy/satire a bit scary. A rally by the President even features red caps that say "Don't Look Up". For a Netflix movie, it's packed with a star studded cast, showing the clout internet streaming is gaining.

I'm working my way through 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventures' currently. Im over halfway through season 4. I caught parts of it when it was airing on Toonami on Cartoon network and decided to check it all out since it's on Netflix. For anyone that hasn't heard of it JoJo's is an anime that is pretty gnarly at times. Has an unusual color palette which is used for mood setting and scenarios that can get down right grizzly. It spans over 100 year time frame with major protagonists being killed off from time to tiime. Each season has about 40 episodes. Does it get goofy? Yeah a little bit, but not nearly as bad as say Dragon Ball. If any anime fans are reading this check it out and give it a chance, it will surprise you eventually.

I wanted to watch The Ricardos, and instead my kid made me watch Breaking Bad. I haven’t seen that in ages. But we ended up watching like 10 episodes. So I still need to see my favorites Nicole Kidman, Javier Bardem, and J K Simmons.

I am on episode 29 of 39 in season 4. I've watched 144 episodes in total so far. Each seaon is mostly self contained but watching from the beginning definitely helps. Season 1 is split into two parts, first part starts in the late1800's (around 1890 i think) and involves an enemy that comes back in a later season so it is kind of important. Part two of seaon 1 jumps ahead to the mid 1930s ( I remember that time because there is a Nazi character that plays a role.) I will warn ypu that seaon 1 is a little dry and can grind on a bit, especially part one but it is important to the main arc of the series. In season 2 things jump way ahead to the 1980s and the format of the show changes slightly. In seaon 1 the protagonists use mystic energy called harmon to battle their enemies, in season 2 it changes to a psychic manifestation called Stands. Season 2 is where it really gets going (48 episodes in that one so it's a long bitch of a watch, but not too bad imo.) Season 3 jumps slightly ahead to the 1990s and 4 is in 2000s. Not all the seasons are available on Netflix, it has up to seaon 5 but not all the episodes of 5 are available as of yet. I think there are 9 seaons but they jump around at some point i have read. Sorry for rambling on but there is so much to this series that it's more than i can explain. Just hang in there and be prepared to lose a small chunk of your life lol, I've spent nearly three whole days getting to where i am total time. Hope you enjoy it, if not... well then give me an earful for wasting your time ;D

So, I’m afraid, I’ll have to decline on it,

Klaus again. Love that little Christmas movie. I cry evey time she gets her sled😭😭😭😭😭
I dont watch anime. But I long time ago I remember seeing one with my cousin. It was about these kids who fight ghosts with a talking cat or something like that, and he explained that when they did the English voices, they went completely off script and made it a comedy. I wasn't completely into it, but I watched the whole thing with him and it was pretty funny.

I too was about to turn it off after a short period. Then I discoverd that I could change it from being dubbed into English back to the originl Korean and then use the subtitles. The difference in mouth movements between asian and western languages made it very disconcerting for me to watch. Having got over that, it had much more of a plot than I was expecting and the story line got me interested in the characters and their backgrounds. It was gory at times but no sadism/torture.
I have issues with the ending but can't discuss it because of possible spoilers. It rates quite highly on IMDb; I would encourage you to give it another watch.

"Being The Ricardos"
The "I Love Lucy" show was shown in the UK in the late 50s, early 60s, and I had no idea about Lucille Ball's involvement with the despicable HUAC and the Walter Winchell revelation. The film raised a question for me though. In the USA is it compulsory to indicate a political affiliation when registering to vote and if so isn't it an invasion of privacy?
Very much enjoyed the film BTW

There is no federal register of voters in the US, to my knowledge. Voting laws are regulated by individual states, and vary from state to state.
Where I live, the registration process does ask if you want to register as a Republican or Democrat (or one of a few lesser known parties) but we have the option to leave that blank.
I have never been affiliated with any party, including the two major ones. Those like me used to be called Independent Voters, until the creation of an actual Independent Party, some years ago. Now I'm considered to be an Unaffiliated Voter.
The only time that makes a difference is in the primary election (which is six months before the general election), where you get a ballot with Republican candidates, OR Democratic candidates, OR no candidates. Anyone not registered with one of the major parties is given a ballot for only the issues, levies and non-partisan positions like local school boards or county commissioners.
Hope this answers your question.

No. It's a climate change/over population genre. Also notable for the last film of the great Edward G Robinson, one of the James Cagney, George Raft, Humphrey Bogart era.

I watched squid games, and I was immediately drawn into it. Yes it could have been far less gory, and a subplot didnt make any sense other than to maybe show how winning the games can change somebody, but I watched the whole thing. I was eager to find out what the next game was, and how one would win/survive it. I have my own objections about the ending as well. It was better than I expected.

I should also add that it contains what I think is one of, if not the best, juxtapositions of music and film scenes I have ever seen (you do need to view it on a big screen with a decent sound system to do it justice).

I'm not familiar with that series, but if it's into its fourth season I guess the showrunners are doing something right.
Was the sudden twist in S04E01 a complete change of direction, or just a shift in character dynamics?

Both actually, a new character shows up to throw everything into turmoil, and a few characters change directions that starts throwing everything off.
The big shocker was at the end of episode 7. I thought it was going to happen, but not the way it did. And I figured more towards the end of season 4 part 2

I would so love to eavesdrop on the discussions that result in a series going off in an unexpected direction, leaving fans delighted or despondent.
There was an HBO series called Carnivàle that was pulled after two seasons, as far as I know for financial reasons. I read that Daniel Knauf's original pitch mapped out the plots and sub-plots for 12 seasons. And then there are series in which the pilot differs from the episodes that follow, or series that are booked for a first season of, say, 21 episodes but are pulled after only 13, leaving viewers tearing out their hair.

Started watching "Farscape" again. Thanks to a recent member reminding my of this unique Sci Fi show

I'm actually late to this party. I hate the evil empire that owns everything, including the MCU and I won't give them a dime, but I recently watched the Hawkeye mini series through a YouTube "reaction" channel (so I wouldn't have to pay). With that said:
Since the protagonist, Hawkeye, had a very close relationship with Black Widow, this figures into the story line. Another important part of the story is Kate Bishop. Kate is the daughter of a rich woman that owns a security company, so Kate knows a thing or two about cameras and alarms. Kate is also a champion archer whose idol is Hawkeye.
With all that said, Black Widow was created during the Cold War when it was thought that the USSR was engaging in eugenics, mixed in with steroids to create men and women with super strength.
Also, in the early 1990's, organized crime types in Russia wearing track suits left an indelible impression on fiction writers.
So, take a superhero archer, a champion archer, a "track suit gang", Kate's unscrupulous mother and a couple of Black Widows and you have the makings of a great six parter mini series.

Reacher, on Amazon Prime. I think the current Reacher does a better job than Tom Cruise did in the movie versions.
-
Murderville on Netflix. If you're unfamiliar, Will Arnett plays detective Terry Seattle and his guest celebrity partner improvise their way through a scripted murder investigation without the script. Conan o'Brien was episode one, Marshawn Lynch was episode two.
I found it to be quite entertaining, and some of the celebrities have some good improv skills.

We're watching Reacher too and enjoying it. I've read or listened to most of the books. T show is staying very close to the book character.
Tom Cruise as Reacher was laughable. That skinny guy trying to play a character who's always described as huge in the books just didn't play.
Damn autocorrect keeps changing Reacher to Teacher. :roll:

Resident Alien that is now playing on Peacock. A quirky comedy but cute.
-
I can honestly say I've never seen it before, but because it's on prime, and at the urge of Allan, and because it became a cult classic, I am watching starship troopers.
Soooo dumb. I'm a blonde and can't spare too many brain cells, 🤣, I can feel more dying off with every minute I watch it. I'm assuming it became popular because ever guy in America wanted to f@#$ Denise Richards.
Edit: However, the shower scene would have made my time in the Army so much more interesting.

Dropout on Hulu. Based on the rapid rise and just as rapid fall of a Stanford college girl who dropped out after her freshman year to start a company that would revolutionize how blood tests were done.

I've been streaming my way through the new PBS version of "Around the World in 80 Days," and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.
This production takes many liberties with the original novel (and the 1956 movie starring David Niven). Phileas Fogg is more of a real-life man than the coldly-calculating superhero in the novel; Passepartout is a Black Frenchman from a ne'er-do--well background; and they're accompanied by a fetching and indefatigable young journalist who's a woman in a man's world and striving to make her mark.
I highly recommend it.

We finished this a few weeks ago and thoroughly enjoyed it (even with the liberties). Then I watched the film again for the first time since 1956. Much prefer the TV version, can't believe the film won 5 oscars including best picture.

Then there was the version with Jackie Chan. The 1956 version stayed pretty true to the book. I thought David Tennant did a good job playing Fogg in the PBS series. I liked his work in Broadchurch and Gracepoint.

I have to admit that's still my favorite version (after the book)

Channel 4's new program called "Open House: The Great Sex Experiment" about people wanting to experience multiple partners. It looks like an amateur version of that series Playboy TV did about swinging https://www.xvideos.com/video9254029/swings01e01?pl=66342013&plname=playboy_swingers. It's more amateur, which is not always a bad thing, but not as explicit.

Not a movie but a documentary:
Stalin's Executioners: Katyn 1940 (dir. Cédric Tourbe. Arte France, 2020)
I'm familiar with the historical details of the Katyń Massacre, but had never seen footage of the exhumations and autopsies until I watched this documentary.

Death on the Nile, the 2022 version. On HBOMax. Interesting beginning. We also watched the 1978 version the next day and very little difference except for the 2022 version's beginning.
-
The Sound Of Music which, just so happens to be my all time favorite movie. This viewing estimate as the 120th time at least, yes, not exaggerating. I watch it at least 4 times a year, over the last 37 years. So I may actually be around 140 viewings.
Then there is the broadway shows. 4 times on Broadway Detroit. Once on Broadway NY. 3 times at the Stratford Festival in Canada.

Very much agree. Seen it twice, it's brilliant. By the same writer as "The Thick Of It" I believe.

I'm revisiting the old 1984 Adventures of Sherlock Holmes TV series. Some of the episodes are great; some are not so good. I've never liked Jeremy Brett's over-the-top portrayal of Sherlock Holmes and try to ignore the supercilious snarls and melodramatic over-acting. Definitely not a likeable character.

Basil Rathbone more closely resembles my idea of the great consulting detective, though Hollywood's decision to shift many of the later movies to a contemporary setting was a bad one.
I also love watching Robert Stephens camping it up in The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes with Colin Blakely as Dr Watson. Slick screenplay by Billy Wilder and I. A.L. Diamond, sumptuous soundtrack by Miklós Rózsa, and would you believe Irene Handl as Mrs Hudson and Christopher Lee as Mycroft. I keep coming back to this movie whenever I need cheering up.

I started the entire series from scratch. I know what happens, but i want a refresher on details so I started from the beginning. I'm just now rewatching season 3 but I can hardly wait to get to the end. My coworkers are saying it isnt an excited end, but a fitting one. I just dont want to be disappointed.
PLEASE DO NOT REPLY.
I heard enough at work and from my friends. I do not wish to know more opinions. Might discourage me. Thank you 💋

Began watching Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix. It premiered Friday and supposedly takes after the movie of the same name. Can't remember the movie but do remember reading the novel by Michael Connelly. The episodes I have watched are pretty decent.

Good to know. We're planning on starting to watch soon. I've enjoyed the novels. Hope the producers stay close to the book characters.

The movie with Matthew McConaughey was pretty good.

The movie theaters near us have $5 Tuesdays (with free popcorn). Not much going on this Tuesday. So I'm thinking FATHER STU. Has anybody watched it? Don't need reviews, just a thumbs up or thumbs down. I'm on the fence after the trailer.
Can't wait for DOWNTON ABBEY (Tues May 24th), TOP GUN (May 31) ELVIS (June 20th release). With Elvis, the trailer had me ready to jump out of my seat and dance.
I'm also on the fence with THE NORTHMAN.

Door county drive in is opening up this weekend, but I'm not sure about the movies. They are playing Uncharted, and Spiderman. I may go because Tom Holland is so friggin cute, but that's about it.
I wont see Top Gun because I dislike Tom Cruise, and I wont see Elvis because "the womb" is a huge fan of his.

We were great fans of the TV series of Downton Abbey but didn't think much of the first movie. Mrs ODK went with some friends to see the second one and spent so much time giggling at the silliness that someone else in the audience told them to shut up. Septuagenarian cat fight ;D

Wasn't too impressed with the new Firestarter movie. It was supposed to be closer to the Stephen King novel than the original movie was. Special effects were pretty good though.

Finished the tenth and final episode of Netflix's Lincoln Lawyer. I thought it was pretty decent.
Tonight on HBO starts the two part series on the life and times of George Carlin. Really liked his brand of humor.

In the early 70s, we had tickets to see him. The night before he was arrested in Milwaukee for saying the seven words you cannot say in public. We thought his show would be cancelled, but it wasn't. When Carlin stepped out on stage, his first words were those seven words he was arrested for saying the night before. The crowd gave him a standing ovation.

Tonight wife and I rewatched "Downton Abbey".the movie. Still found it most enjoyable.
Tomorrow we will attend an actual movie theater to see the new movie that just came out. It's been more years than I can remember that we've gone to a theater. Wife's mobility problems are a big reason.
We're attending a smaller theater that gets first run movies. Owner must have serious connections. There's a Dairy Queen next door. Owned by same guy...so ice cream treats allowed in the theater. :D

Survivor, season 43 finale. Love this show. Haven't missed a season.
So happy for the winner, much deserved.
And we did see Downton Abbey yesterday at the movies. Loved it. Cried though.

I had to after the sad news today about the death of Ray Liotta.
It'd been a couple years so I was due anyway..."Goodfellas"! The realism the talented cast brought to the movie made the true story so much more real.
Interesting note. The actual Henry Hill, played by Liotta, started telling people who he was after the movie came out. That got him kicked out of the witness protection program.
Also several real mobsters were hired to make the movie more realistic. They used fake social security numbers. It's not known how they really got paid.

Went to see TopGun Maverick last night at the movies.
That movie had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. You've got to see it in the big screen, don't wait for it to go to streaming. Holy flipping hell was that movie good.

A few years ago I visited Eglin Air Force base in the panhandle of Florida. They have a museum there on the history of flight. In the museum they have simulators visitors can go into and experience the flight of one of the fighter jets, from taking off from a carrier to being chased by an enemy aircraft and back to landing on a carrier. The simulator is set up in such a way that you feel everything an actual pilot would feel. It was, to say the least, one of the best simulated rides I ever had.

The Janes, a documentary on HBO. A group of young women living in Chicago who started a safe abortion site for hundreds of young women who were scared to go to the Mob run abortion places during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The Chicago Police finally arrested them but their lawyer, knowing the Supreme Court was nearing a decision legalizing abortion, used continuances to stall their trial. In the end, the case was thrown out because of Roe vs Wade.
The documentary comes at a time when the Supreme Court may stop legalizing abortions and if you watch any or all of this HBO documentary, watch the very beginning when a woman describes what she and another woman went through when they paid the Mob run abortionist for their abortions.

Probably only of interest inside the UK.
Just started watching Derry Girls (Channel 4 and Netflix). I had thought it was just for teenagers but someone recommended it. It is about teenagers at a catholic girls school in Northern Ireland at the time of the troubles and is hilarious IMHO. Some of the slang has to be decoded for non-NI residents.

I've been wanting to see that ever since I saw the actresses on the british baking show holiday edition. They seemed quite funny.
I started watching Wild Babies on netflix. About the lives of newborn animals out in the wild and in some of the harshest conditions. So far there are lions, seal pups, wild dogs, and my favorite are the elephants. Such gentle and caring giants when it comes to their young.
I will say that I was confused about the lions. There were no herds of animals or congregation of beasts, as an all knowing monkey held the cub up to the sun... was everything I learned about the circle of life bullshit??!! 😏

I've heard the same of John Cleese. A Cambridge student saw him walking across the quadrangle at Downing College and said, "Good afternoon, Mr. Cleese." The response was, "Bugger off!"
He seems pleasant enough in TV interviews, so maybe the poor student caught him on a bad day.

I have been in the presence of two Doctor Who(s). One, David Tennant, was behind me in a crowded theatre bar with his great mate Richard Wilson (One Foot In The Grave). Tennant got served before I did; as he turned round with a drink in each hand I was tempted to say "nice bit of time travel, Doctor" but thought better of it.

Not in the same league as Doctor Who, but a lifetime ago one of the big London cinemas put on a back-to-back screening of all the 1943 Batman movies. I was at the head of the queue outside the cinema, but when the doors were thrown open, Ray Davis (Kinks) and Barry Fantoni (Private Eye) pushed past me, sprinted inside like manic schoolboys, and grabbed the center front-row seats. I followed them demurely (as is my wont) and contented myself with a seat a few rows back. Such silly days.

Disappointed to hear that one of my heroes (Davis) acted so ungentlemanly.

A movie that I havent seen since I lost my V card.
The sandlot. It was my boyfriend's favorite movie at the time, and we would watch it constantly on VHS. He even had to buy a second tape of it because the first one started acting up. When we broke up I never wanted to watch that movie again.
But I saw it on prime and thought... what the hell, it's been 20+ years. I'll give it a go.

I looked it up, maybe not available for prime here, but on Wikipedia, seems like there have been a couple of sequels as well.
One, if not for Darth Vader (Voice only), Would have been only a spiritual sequel, and the other one’s got mental-time-travel.

Just got back from seeing Elvis on MJR $5 Tuesday. It was really good. I didn't like the format it was presented at first, but then it settled in nicely. Wish the movie had focused a bit more on Tupelo - having visited there on our trip north a few months ago.
I read a Variety interview of Alanna Nash that debunked a number of things in the movie.
It was entertaining, but a bit long at 2hrs 26mins.
Two thumbs up.
The popcorn was burned and the frozen coke machine was broken. So, two thumbs down for the concessions.

A friend of mine used to claim that Elvis was a witness at her wedding.
Then, one day, she showed me some photos of her, her hubby, and . . . Elvis.
It turned out that the happy couple were honeymooning in Las Vegas and decided to get married all over again, just for fun. After the wedding they took in an Elvis show and got to see him backstage. He signed their brand-new wedding certificate. Not exactly a witness, but close enough. :)

Mr Malcolm's List at the movie theater.
Very predictable. Tolerable. Dan hated it.
The popcorn was good. Fresh and hot. I also got a frozen coke at concessions that was perfect. Refills on both on the way out the door.

These last few days I surprised myself by watching a couple of old movies all the way through:
- The Spy Who Came in from the Cold (1965)
- The Stepford Wives (1975)
What kept me going were the actresses. Claire Bloom in the former, and Katherine Ross + Paula Prentiss in the latter. Plenty of big-name male leads in both movies, but the ladies stole the show.

Ratatouille and Despicable Me 2 are on my "desert island" list. Watched them both yesterday while being bedridden.
then I watched Stg Stubby, and the entire Cosmos: A Space Time Odyssey series... again.
-
Loved Ratatoullie. Have not watched it in so long.
Nobody in the family has viewed a Despicable movie. Maybe next rainy day we'll check it out.
Thor:Love and Thunder getting bad reviews. That was supposed to be our movie next Tuesday. Hmmm

Aside from a bunch of kids shows, AEW Wrestling, and some stuff on HGTV, the show I just finished was season 1 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. It was amazing. If you can watch it, watch it. It goes back to the old episodic nature of the older shows, so while it helps to watch the previous episodes, it's not required to know what's going on.
-
Watching the new season of The Boys. 2 words. Dildo fight. :emot_laughing:

Yesterday I stumbled across the original Fugitive TV series, starring David Janssen as Dr Richard Kimble and Barry Morse as Lt. Philip Gerard.
The first episode of Season 1 also stars Vera Miles, one of my favorite actresses.
I remember watching the series when it was first released, and enjoying it immensely. I still remember some of the episode plots, but I'd completely forgotten William Conrad's growling narration.

I remember it being on TV, but at a time in my life when there were other priorities (pub, football, girls). Never have seen it.

I just re-watched The Secret of NIMH and the Rankin Bass version of The Hobbit.

Fantastic beasts: the secrets of Dumbledore
I truly enjoyed the first two fantastic beast movies and have been quietly waiting for this one to come out, and the final confrontation between Grindelwald and Dumbledore, and how Newt Scamander will save both worlds using his cute and weird little creatures.
For the most part, the movie did not disappoint but I was not a fan on the ending. It felt slow and sluggish and anticlimactic. Here I was expecting fireworks, and instead it felt like car insurance seminar where one by one somebody walks up talks while everybody just stands there doing nothing. I could have done without the last 15 minutes of the movie.

Thor- Love and Thunder
We just got back from the theater. I fell asleep. It was bad. Dan and M are the Marvel fans, they give it a 7 out of 10. Me, a 1 of 10. But the music was good.
Next Tuesday is.Where the Crawdads Sing

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children 2016 PG-13 2h 7m
Directed by Tim Burton. Part thriller, part science fiction and part fantasy.
Plot was a little hard to follow but there were some good special effects.
I'm actually a little surprised that it held my interest til the end.
By that I mean I didn't fall asleep while watching :D. That happens fairly often when I'm watching movies.
-
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children 2016 PG-13 2h 7m
I missed that movie completely, and I'm not sure why. Maybe it was the "For Peculiar Children" bit.
From the cast listing on IMDB, I see that it stars Eva Green, one of my favorite actresses. I'll see if I can track down a copy.
Thanks for the nudge!

There's a link on the IMDB (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1935859/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0) page where you can watch it online. Big yellow button near the top of the page says "Watch Free On Freevee".

FYI, Freevee is the recently re-branded IMDb TV. There are a lot of commercials (that's why it's free).

Directed by Tim Burton. Part thriller, part science fiction and part fantasy.
I didn't get very far into the movie, but I did enjoy seeing Eva Green puffing away on a pipe. It took me back to my college days, and the student lounge where we all hung out. One regular was a lady from Holland who also puffed away on a pipe. A straight briar, if I remember correctly, not the fancy curved type.

I'm watching a Polish movie called Year of the Quiet Sun, made in 1984 but set in post-War Poland.
Many of the older Polish movies are heavy going, so I may have to give up on this one if it gets too depressing, but I have found much more cheerful ones made after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Off to see Where The Crawdads Sing. In half an hour.
And, just found out that M has it on her kindle. She's read it and loved the book. Now she's coming to the movies with us. Hope it's a good movie.
Be on later tonight and will let you know how it was.
-
I loved the movie. I thought it was really well done. It had me guessing through most of the movie.
M had read the book. She liked the movie but as is usually the case, she said the book was much better. So, I'm off to read the book today.
Leaving the theater, I heard a man say to his wife, "chick flick". I asked Dan if he thought it was and he said definitely not.
Definitely worth seeing, especially on $5 Tuesdays at our local movie theater. And the popcorn receives two thumbs up. It almost lasted half way through the movie. Why why why can I not pace myself
-
Glad you liked the movie Jules. I read the book a few months after it came out. It had stayed so long on the best seller list, I had to check it out.
I loved reading (hearing) about the young girl being so close to nature and her ability to fend for herself. Time to download the audio book and give it another listen. Fantastic story.

Rewatched everything Blade Runner, to look for the supposed link between that world and the world of Alien, and it is surprisingly there. Weyland-Yutani is all in it, which leads me to speculate a little. The timeline in the Alien franchise of books, movies and comics says that the android up rising happened before the fall of earth to the Xeno. Thats why everyone was oddly hateful to the non living personnel in the movies, Ripley moreso. Not just because she was attacked by a Mother controlled Android in the first movie. so my theory is that in order Blade runner - Alien saga up to earth war - Blade Runner 2049 - Blade Runner Black Lotus series.

My son is back from Europe, so we fired up the television. I ended up watching an older BBC series on Amazon prime called Fleabag (2016-2019). And I’ll be damned if it isn’t great. It reminds me of that show “You’re the Worst” I used to love. Only the protagonist is female and Brit. Sexy funny, and a lot of piercing the veil and she gives asides directly to the camera.
The second series received 11 Primetime Emmy Award nominations and won six, with Phoebe Waller-Bridge earning Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Lead Actress, and Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series; additional acting nominations were received by Clifford, Olivia Colman, and guest stars Fiona Shaw and Kristin Scott Thomas. The series received the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series and Best Actress for Waller-Bridge, and a nomination for Scott.

I didn't get very far into Fleabag. I used to enjoy comedy shows but old age caught up with me. I think the last UK comedy series I found funny was Philomena Cunk on Britain. Diane Morgan also did Philomena Cunk on Shakespeare and Philomena Cunk and Other Humans, which I didn't find as funny. I think she's working on a new series called Philomena Cunk on Earth.

It's called Arcane on netflix. For those of you who prefer intellectual documentaries or the artsy fartsy movies, you may stop reading this post now.
It's a computer animated show, but definitely not made for young children. It's based off a video game called league of legends. I thought riots at first but that the company that makes the game I guess. Not really important, but I am hooked on the show.
9, 40-45 minute episodes of woman kicking ass. I'd say 5 of the seven most important characters are women. The two main characters are orphaned sisters separated by tragedy VI and powder/jinx. One becomes bad, the other stays good. The next most important character is a rich girl turned cop named Caitlyn.
The music is fantastic, the animation is I credible with such realistic expressions and actions. The only thing I took issue with was the police uniforms. The mem got real uniforms, but the women wore short sleeved miniskirts with thigh high boots, socks with garters... not very professional or practical plus a high ranking woman officer in the beginning was wasn't wearing the dress because she wasn't supposed to be seen as sexy I guess, sex sells... there was one episode that game me some animated eye candy though so I calmed down about it.
This has turned into kind of a ramble, but if you dont mind some fantasy fictional action packed animated show with some sexy characters. give it a shot. The first few episodes they are all kids, but after that... Caitlyn is HOT, has a sexy english accent, and is buff AF, and if her and VI don't end up together next season, I'm going to be rightly pissed off

Mrs ODK and I didn't get to the end of the first episode. Our tolerance level seems to have changed as we have got older. Definitely now in miserable old git territory (still find Monty Python funny though).

I read Koestler's Act of Creation many, many decades ago but I still remember his insights into the phenomenon of laughter. Maybe, as we grow older, we don't respond to the unexpected twists of logic in humor. Perhaps we're too tired to laugh, or perhaps we've heard it all before.

Just got back from the theater seeing BULLET TRAIN, with Brad Pitt.
I can describe my thoughts on it in two words.... hated it.
In summary: hated it.
Popcorn was on point though. Frozen coke was sh*t. Couldn't get anything out of it the entire cup. Too icey, not liquidy enough.
The theater we go to isn't the normal one because the girls wanted to see Elvis, our movie start times were closer together than our regular theater and only an couple miles further. . This theater today had reclining seats and lifted my legs out and up nicely. Felt very good elevating my foot. Stairs were tough though. I looked like a 90 year old lady hobbling up and back down.
-
Bullet Train’s name reminds me of the Denzel Washington movie called Unstoppable. What was the basic plot? Was it about a high-speed train, or a train out of control, or snakes on a train? It could be anything. I hope Brad Pitt gave some lady boners.

No lady boners.
Ummmm....plot....some guy arranged for a bunch of assassins to be on a train together to basically kill each other. I fell asleep for a bit.
I should have added....Dan gives it a thumbs up.
The girls loved Elvis, also.

Allan loves that movie, and Chris Pine allows me the patients to sit through it. It's an out of control train with toxic or flammable chemicals on it, and it's going to crash and kill a town.
Rented the Lost City from redbox. It was silly funny and I enjoyed it, but I found myself yelling out "fuck you Sandra Bullock". First she gets to be all up on my Ryan Reynolds in "the Proposal" and now she gets to be on her knees in front of a nude Channing Tatum? God hes got a great looking butt! Some people get all the fun jobs.

Belfast, currently on HBO. The movie takes place in the latter part of 1969 when the serious troubles began. Soundtrack by Van Morrison.
Have to wonder, in this day and age, why England still maintains a presence in Northern Ireland.

Haven't seen it yet but hoping to in the near future.
In answer to your question - because the Republic doesn't want it. Not those that control the Republic's economy, that is, they don't want an additional £11 billion a year drain on them. It would solve a lot of our Brexit problems if Ireland were re-united but the bloodshed that would ensue if we tried to give it back doesn't bare thinking about it.
I can also recommend a film called "The Wind That Shakes The Barley" about Ireland and it's struggles.

Watched Prey on Hulu.
Girl Power - Yes.
Historical inaccuracies - full of them.
My only MAJOR gripe with this movie was that her lust to hunt, and "Prove herself capable of hunting" was what killed her friends and family. AND she did not even stop to consider WHY she should not hunt the Predator. The fucker lifted a fully grown bear. Even if you were smart and cunning, there is only so much you could do. But a decent movie to watch on a rainy day.
Watched Uncanny Counter on netflix
Good K-Drama, about a group of noodle shop workers hunting down evil spirits like afterlife bounty hunter. A whole lot of feels in this one. worth the binge.
for the anime fans:
The way of the househusband
The yakuzas guide to babysitting
Summertime Render - Love the whole mind fuck of it
The devil is a part timer - season 1 and 2 damned funny show.
Vermiel in gold - its good, if you can get past the "Older woman, young man" trope
Pharmacy in another world - good show
-
Hulu Movie, Knock Knock. 2 hotties and Keneau.

We did watch Prey on Hulu. A prequel to the original Predator movie. One nice thing I learned was many of the actors and actresses who played Native Americans were actually Native Americans. For a minute, I thought the grizzly bear was going to get the better of the Predator. Good special effects and beautiful country where the movie was filmed.

I liked the movie, but it should not be treated as a singular prequel. The Yautja (predators) have been to earth so much they got frequent space flyer points out the ass. They come to earth to hunt, first it was the dino's then the apes, then us. Knowing the lore behind them kind of kills it for me a bit. The predator was probably just blooded going on his first solo hunt, or else nothing would have lived through that. But they being significantly bigger than humans helps, though the females are larger. It would have been cooler human female vs predator female, as the females rarely hunt, but do so to settle disputes or secure the attention of a prime male hunter predator.

Finally got to the end of "This Is Us", really liked the early series but it got somewhat maudlin towards the end. The incessant loud background music in the last few episodes didn't help.

The only Japanese anime series I watched through to the end is Serial Experiments Lain. I found it rather addictive. :D

Thanks! I took a look at the site, and now have some idea of what the series is about. What I liked about Serial Experiments Lain was:
- The theme song and opening credits (Duvet by bôa)
- The graphics, especially the freaky tangle of telephone and power lines criss-crossing the sky.
- The ambiguity of Lain's family.
- The escalation in Lain's computer setup
What I didn't like was:
- The annoying kids in the Cyberia club
- The dream sequence with childish bogey men
- The narrator's voice that introduces episodes
The only manga I ever read through to the end was Kenkamichi, both when it was serialized, and when it appeared in book form. That and (dare I say it?) Dr. Slump. I read the manga version, but didn't bother with the TV adaptation. I'm now remedying that by going back to Episode 1, and seeing how far I get.

Bottle Shock (2008)
Paris-based wine expert Steven Spurrier (Alan Rickman a/k/a Hans Gruber) heads to California in search of cheap wine that he can use for a blind taste test in the French capital. Stumbling upon the Napa Valley, the stuck-up Englishman is shocked to discover a winery run by Jim Barrett (Bill Pullman), turning out top-notch chardonnay. Determined to make a name for himself, he sets about getting the booze back to Paris. Based on a true story. Eye candy Chris Pine plays Barrett’s son, Bo.
Love, love, loved it. Can’t believe I had not watched it before. I had seen the title and assumed it was a teen flick or something.

For a fascinating glimpse of the darker side of the wine auction industry, I recommend a documentary called Sour Grapes (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5728684/) (2016).
Wikipedia has a informative article on Rudy Kurniawan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudy_Kurniawan), the 'star' of the documentary, released from prison in 2020.

Thanks for that PH. I love the sadly missed Alan Rickman but have never heard of that film, I will put it in the (wine) bucket list. For fans of Alan Rickman (a/k/a Obadiah Slope) I can heartily recommend the BBC production of "The Barchester Chronicles" featuring a whole host of great British actors.

Coven of Sisters (2021)
‘Coven of Sisters’ takes place in Spain in 1609 in a small town in the Basque Country. All of the men of the town are out at sea for the month so a religious inquisitor, on an extensive streak of burning women accused of being witches at the stake, uses this opportunity to come into the town and arrest six girls found dancing and singing in Basque around in the woods and accuse them of being witches. The girls, in an effort to delay their burning at the stake, decide to go along with the lie and let the inquisitor think that they will show him the witch Sabbath ritual at the next full moon.
Highlight of the movie was Amaia Aberasturi taking a bath. Meow meow meow.

Most Terrifying Places in America. Watching it because Dan went to bed, leaving it on this station,. And the remote is out of reach. Yes, I'm lazy at 11:50 on a Sunday night.
The show is about ghost encounters. People telling their horror stories. I'll never fall asleep if I don't get my hands on the remote.

I've just finished watching a fascinating Canadian documentary called "Forbidden Love: The Unashamed Stories of Lesbian Lives (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106944/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0)", made in 1992. Fascinating because it interweaves interviews with women talking about their experiences in the '50s and '60s, with an enacted drama about a lady called Laura, which in turn is linked to lesbian pulp fiction of that era. Author Ann Bannon talks about her work, and I was surprised and delighted to find most of her Beebo Brinker Chronicles in my archive of digital books.
The documentary, especially the interviews, were eye-opening. So many things I didn't know.

You and I are digital hoarders Hilda. My son asked me why I have 40,000+ songs, photos, and videos on my phone. I explained that I am a member of the last generation who went to record stores on Saturdays to dig through the bins looking for rare vinyl. Or going to the used bookstore and walking in the aisles, seeking the perfect book. There is a joy in possessing and controlling that. It’s not that you actually look at it all the time, or even know that you have it. But there’s a certain comfort in realizing, when they drop the big one and we’re all sitting in a bunker, that you’ll still have it, and nobody can take it from you, until the battery runs out. LOL.

Watched the latest movie about Elvis on HBO last night, titled Elvis. I don't think it was Tom Hank's greatest moment playing Colonel Tom Parker, Elvis' manager. The music was good thought, especially the hits towards the end of his career.

That's on my `To Watch' list.
The last movie I watched was Top Gun: Maverick. Its unbelievable that he would still be in the Navy at the rank of Captain, but the movie was almost as good as the original. I've heard people complain that the end fight was a rip off of the attack on the Death Star from the first Star Wars movie, but most of those space fights were based on footage of actual WW2 air combat. I could see them doing a third movie, with or without Tom Cruise. (Miles Teller taking over as the lead)
My wife and I binged Only Murders In The Building season 2 over two days. I thought it was better than the first season, but there were not nearly enough clues to figure out who the killer was. Can't wait for season 3.

I have already bought this. I plan to watch it tonight. I started to watch it last night after the football game, but I already had enough bourbon in me that I fell asleep. So I’m going to rewind and start over again.

I'm probably going to be reaching for some Jack Daniel's Tennessee Apple after the Cowboys-Buccaneers game that's coming up next Sunday....
Rented the movie, but will definitely be buying a copy.

I watched it last night, and I completely agree.
While the movie's named "Elvis," a more accurate name would be "Colonel Tom Parker." Perhaps I should have known this going in, but the focus -- from the opening scene to the closing scene -- is more on Colonel Parker and less on Elvis himself. And as much as I love Tom Hanks, his performance was underwhelming.
There were parts that were excellent. The scene at the beginning, where Elvis is around 10 and he first watches a blues performance in a juke joint and then watches a gospel performance in a revival tent is perfectly done, and very affecting. And, as you note, Elvis's performances toward the end when he is older are fun to watch.

Took my granddaughter to see DC League of Superpets. Entertaining enough. They got someone (I forget who) to write songs like Randy Newman did for Toy Story. The portrayal of the Justice League members was meh, but it's a movie aimed at the 6-12 age group so okay.
-
I finally watched Top Gun: Maverick in its entirety. And all I can say is WOW. They really outdid themselves. And the storyline was so much more important than the CGI and special effects. It was really dealing with how we continue to live with the past. They put Goose’s son in the movie (call sign Rooster). And Val Kilmer, who was in endstage cancer at the time of filming, made an appearance, as Admiral Iceman in endstage cancer. I was just bawling my eyes out. My son was laughing at me. “Why are you crying dad? It’s an action movie; you hate them.” But this was an action movie with so many layers. I just felt worn out by the end. But it was a very good feeling. Jennifer Connelly was smoking hot at age 51. And I got the feeling that Maverick was the father of her daughter, Amelia. It was a beautiful film. I really enjoyed it.

But it was a very good feeling. Jennifer Connelly was smoking hot at age 51. And I got the feeling that Maverick was the father of her daughter, Amelia. It was a beautiful film. I really enjoyed it.
Actually, I don't believe they actually said what iceman's illness was, but it can be inferred. I watched the movie right after watching the first one on Paramount+, and Cruise doesn't look 36 years older at all. Maybe 15. He's in phenomenal shape. (I get the same feeling about Amelia, by the way.) Could see them carrying on the franchise with Miles Teller taking the lead. Unless he did something after to screw up royally, Maverick should have gotten a promotion for leading that mission. My only negative? They kept talking about how dangerous the mission was, yet no one died or at least badly injured.
-
(I get the same feeling about Amelia, by the way.)
Jenny was the “Admiral’s daughter” from the original Top Gun. But the way that she and Maverick talked about Amelia is the way that parents talk about their child. There was a certain intimacy and shared knowledge that reflected that likelihood to me.
I think we are going to see a lot more of Lyliana Wray in coming years. She has a Scarlett Johansson quality about her. She’s going to be a top star is my prediction.
-
And I got the feeling that Maverick was the father of her daughter, Amelia. It was a beautiful film. I really enjoyed it.
I had that feeling also when we watched it, but as I recall, it had been more years since they had seen each other than Amelia was in age. But I could be wrong. It's been so long since we saw it.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was spectacular on the big screen
-

Well they’ve “known” each other for 36 years. And the dialogue indicated that they had been on again off again on multiple occasions. Amelia is only described as a teenager, so I don’t think it impossible that Maverick and Penny didn’t get it on to make her. I don’t recall him asking any questions about “Amelia’s father,” so I’ll have to wait until the script is posted online.

Nice. I watch re-runs of the show whenever I have the chance. I recently found out that Richard Boone wasn't the first choice to play Paladin, and can't believe it. He was absolutely perfect. They actually wanted Randolph Scott, but he turned them down.
The funny thing is, I've never listened to any episodes of the radio show, despite being a of those (I have a lot of episodes of The Shadow), because I can't imagine anyone else as Paladin.

Are you watching the premiere of Jeopardy that began in 1964 or the latest version that began in September of 1984? I remember the 1964 version. The dollar amounts were very small.

The most recent season of the current show which started in 1984.
(An observation: The UK and US seem to have `season' and `series' switched. I found this out from conversations about Doctor Who. In the U.S., series means the show as a whole, while season means the latest round of episodes. The U.K. uses `series' for what we call a season.)

Damn good movie. And Channing Tatum also directed it.
I just finished the Masked Singer season premiere. 4 contestants, 3 eliminations, but they're making us wait until next week to see who the third elimination is. (That is, who is under the mask. They did reveal which character was going bye-bye.) And the two they did show are absolute living legends!

Father Stu, on Netflix. Starring Mark Wahlberg. Based on a true story. Pretty interesting person.

I watched Cyberpunk Edgerunners on netflix. A great dystopian future story in the vein of Blade Runner. Though my only gripe is that the teen angst is played up too much. Also the good part is the gratuitous nudity, and tits. Also I loved the "lovable little psycho" trope. All in all a good show for those into the dark, grimy future type show.

Last night - Hocus Pocus 2 (It was AWFUL minus the scene with the witches as girls and the fact they actually had some legit Wiccan/Pagan references for about 20 seconds)
Today - Treasure Planet

NCIS Hawai'i. Please cancel this, and bring NCIS New Orleans back......

I agree John. After one season under their belt you'd think they'd have the characters more developed by now. With the extensive amount of Naval facilities and shops around them, why does so little activity take place there?

Has anyone been watching, or has already watched, Pennyworth, the story of Alfred, Batman's butler? Playing on HBOMax. I am almost done with season 1. There are some good episodes and some so-so episodes. The series makes Alfred a person not to be fooled with.

"Inside Man" on the BBC with Stanley Tucci and David Tennant. If you watch it make sure you see the post-credits scene of the final (4th) episode. I always like Tucci after first seeing him in "Murder One" many years ago.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, on Prime Video.
It seems America only likes sequels, prequels, fantasy, super hero, and horror schlock.
They spent over $60 million per episode making this thing. I really thought it would be better.

Yeah. We're watching it. Visually it's impressive. I'm thinking they're just laying down the foundation for more seasons. Too bad they can't move.of that money into plot and acting and less on flash. :roll:

I read an article from some looney bitch telling people don't watch this movie, it will literally "Unleashing hell into your home", and a movie about "kidnaping children for blood sacrifice". Just a bunch of crap from a over religious zealot.

I couldn't resist. After hearing of the death of Angela Lansbury this morning I couldn't get my mind off "The Manchurian Candidate". Had to watch it again. By today's standards it may seem pretty tame. No car chases, no CGI or other fancy tricks of the trade. Just a solid plot. (Who remembers that) solid acting. Angela Lansbury as the evil mother and pulling the puppet strings of her hollow husband is a classic performance.
As a side note the fight between Frank Sinatra and Henry Silva did not use any stunt people. Sinatra actually injured a finger and couldn't have it splinted due to other performances. As a result it bothered him the rest of his life.
It was also the first time martial arts was shown in a feature film.
Yeah...I love it :D

The Watcher, on Netflix. Based on a true story of different couples, over time, buying the same house in New Jersey and then getting letters telling them they are being watched. Ten episodes. And, no, it isn't about me, though I wouldn't mind costarring with Naomi Watts, who plays the wife of the couple shown. ;D

We started watching the Jeffery Dahmer story the other night. I lasted 15 minutes before saying, "this is too weird. I'm creeped out. Turn it off."
Ugh, shivers just thinking about it.

Which Dahmer story did you watch? There is one where an actor portrays Dahmer and, on Netflix, there is a three-episode documentary using, for the first time, his own voice taped by one of the defense attorneys. I turned the movie one off after about 15 minutes too but did find the documentary interesting.

I was joking around with a friend about Veronica sucking 37 dicks. So I had to watch Clerks (1994) again. On Amazon. “All at once?”
Interesting note, “Silent Bob“ is supposedly mute. But at the end of the movie he tells Dante, “You know, there's a million fine looking women in the world, dude. But they don't all bring you lasagna at work.” So Silent Bob isn’t always silent.

The new Netflix e lease. #1 on the Netflix platform. I can't help wondering if shows like this will just kickstart something in some one and cause copycats. Freaked me the hell out after 10 minutes. No thanks.

She loved it. I hated it.
Edit
But let me add that Florence Pugh was fantastic.

Watched."The Usual Suspects" last night. Even tho' I've seen it.several times and know the plot twist at the end, I enjoy the movie. Knowing some of the je more interesting parts seems to help me watch closer and I pick up something new/forgotten.
Knowing Kevin Spacey turned out to be a molester does sadden me as he was such a great actor. Such a loss.
-
I watched Glengarry Glen Ross last night. Hard to believe it is 30 years old now. I had the same thoughts about Kevin Spacey.
The cast includes Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Alec Baldwin, Ed Harris, Alan Arkin, Kevin Spacey, Jonathan Pryce. Despite being widely regarded as the best movie of 1992, the film was a box office failure, grossing only $10.7 million in North America, against a $12.5 million budget. It has since become a cult classic.

Downton Abbey: A New Era
I don’t care much for British aristocracy pieces. I didn’t see the first movie, and I only realized today that it is spelled Downton, not Downtown. Shows you what a goof I am.
But I do love the south of France, and once they get on their way to investigate a family mystery, it got interesting.
If it’s your thing, you’ll love it. If it isn’t. You’ll want those two hours back. I do.
-
I'll admit to liking it. Wife was watching the series and I got hooked so she went back to first show for me.
When "A New Era" came out we decided to actually go to a movie theater. Bought tickets on line and were looking forward to seeing something on the big screen.
Just before the big day for us...COVID. Had friends who lived near the theater so we got to treat them
I loved seeing the old vehicles as much as the drama.

Love Downton Abbey.
I've seen all the shows and both the movies.

I enjoyed it. I just wouldn’t describe it as must watch television.

Other than having trouble understanding some of the contestants with the thicker accent, two things they have baked have left me a bit perturbed. First was the red velvet cakes, and then the s'mores. The red velvet was an ingredient change to make it red, but the s'mores actually set me off. They can call it a s'more if they want, but that was anything but.

I finally had a chance to watch the new Top Gun movie. It was good for what it is and what it set out to be, a fun action movie with everything crazy turned up to 11. There was a lot of suspension of disbelief, but it was good and fun. It's been a long time since I watched the original and Tarantino's take on it kind twisted my view on it for a long time, but this was a solid movie.

It is a campfire treat. It's Graham crackers with a bit of chocolate, and marshmallows. You roast the marshmallow over an open flame trying not to burn it, and then you make a sandwich with it. If done right, the chocolate should melt with the hot marshmallow. Its sweet, sticky, melty, messy, and best best thing you can treat yourself with on a summer night while sitting around a fire.

Thanks, Shiela. Glad you warned me, that and a campfire sound like my worst nightmares (ducks incoming boos) ;D

S mentioned using chocolate. Most of my life I've used regular Hershey bars. Now we use KitKats, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and last Spring, on our way home from Florida, I had Curley Worley's. Oh, and Nestle Crunch bars too.
The little bite size candy that gets handed out at Halloween works perfect. 'A' doesn't like chocolate, so I make out there. ;)

Truly the first time I ever heard of them was on a KB post some time ago and never got round to asking.

Just watched "Them". For you younger KBers, that's a famous horror flick from the 1950s. Them are giant ants that have mutated from an early A-test in the desert. Starting with a young girl found wandering in the desert tensions start to build fast.
James Whitmore is the cop who finds be the young girl. She turns out to be daughter of an FBI agent on vacation. Enter James Arness as a FBI agent to investigate for the feds. A cast of the one giant foot print found is sent to Washington. That brings out an elderly professor and his beautiful daughter,.also a doctor. Now the cast is set.
They soon encounter an ant and after filling it with lead the search for the nest starts. I won't drop any more spoilers. For the technology available back then, it was scary for a youngster in his pre-teens. Now it's just fun to watch and I still find it enjoyable.
One final note. This was the first movie to feature giant mutants due to nuclear testing. Just for that historical reason makes it interesting to watch.
-
I remember Them. Scary. That also made me think of The Day of the Triffids, a 1960’s British science fiction horror film starring Howard Keel and Nicole Maurey. A meteor shower leaves virtually all of mankind blind, as cannibalistic plants arrive from space to feast on mankind.

That's where the book by one of my favourite writers differs from the film. In the book the cannabalistic plants (a type of giant venus fly trap that have evolved mobility) are cultivated for their oil. When mankind goes blind the unguarded plants break out of their farm enclosures.
-
Forgot to mention, Dan, The oldest & I went to see Ticket To Paradise on Tuesday.
We had seen the previews all summer long while attending other movies and it really didn't excite me. Seemed like the movie would be very predictable, which it was. But I still enjoyed it. We had the entire theater to ourselves. 150 seats and only the three of us in the place. I love this theater because of the reclining and heated seats. So soft and plushy. Popcorn and frozen coke were delish. Love the free refills on both when we left.

Those ants craved sugar. I wonder if the producers of the movies dealing with nuclear mutation of insects, etc meant to warn the movie goers of the dangers of nuclear war or nuclear anything? These first movies started appearing at the height of the Cold War with Russia.
Another such movie was called Beginning of the End, made in 1957, that had giant grasshoppers attacking Chicago.
-
"Them" did end will speculation about the chances of other undiscovered ant nests and it could lead to the end of mankind.
The nuclear threat was implied but.at the time the public was lead to believe a nuclear war was survivable. I remember being mad at my dad because he wouldn't build a fallout shelter for us.

After watching the Dallas Cowboy’s disaster, I checked on Netflix to see if anything caught my eye. It has a new “top ten recommendations for you” feature. Recommendation #4 was a dramatic series called “Manifest” about an ill fated flight from Jamaica that landed in New York five years after taking off. Everyone on the plane experienced a somewhat normal flight, and had not aged a day. But their friends and families had all gone through a five year long grieving process, and long since assumed they were all dead, and gone on to live new lives, with new people.
So, it is similar to Lost. Lots of weird things start happening. Mysterious events, characters, discoveries, et cetera. NSA, Homeland Security, and the military are all involved. Some even question if the survivors are not aliens disguised as the passengers and crew of the long missing jet.
I watched four episodes (four hours). There are four seasons of the series, which is still in production, about 46 episodes to date, with more on the way.
I am not going to continue watching it. The production quality is very high, and the writing is very good, but it is very tense, lots of plot twists, and nothing is ever as it seems. In other words, if sitting on the edge of your seat feeling anxious is your idea of a good evening in front of the tele, this is probably your show. Probably the same reason I don’t watch horror films. I get enough horror in RL.
-
We watched "Manifest" when it was on network TV, I think it was NBC. We enjoyed it didn't find it all that scary, just some tense moments. I didn't realize more new episodes were being produced. Guess I need to check up and review where we left off.
-
We watched season 1 of Manifest. Maybe part of season 2. We gave up on it though.
I turned on my Television this morning and I see Yellowstone in my library. Season 5 has started. Can't wait. Popcorn, warm blankets and a lil' bit of bourbon while watching the two hour season premiere this evening.

Where the Crawdads Sing, on Netflix. Adapted from the book of the same name, tells the story of a girl growing up alone in the marshes in North Carolina and being accused of murdering a popular young man from the area.

Oh no! I forgot to Tivo Yellowstone last night. I hope they repeat it. I'm getting more careless with checking the schedules. I even remember hearing aids for the return of the new season. :facepalm:
-
I don’t have cable television, but I do have SlingTV. And Yellowstone is on Paramount. I have the blue and orange package with sports added. $46 a month. And I can watch just about anything I want. So no need to TiVo. You can watch all five seasons of Yellowstone. Anything I can’t get with that app, I can usually pull up on my phone, and smart cast it onto the television.
-
Tivo has a voice search feature. I tried that this morning
Found episode one on Saturday. Sunday it says episodes 2,3&4 will be recorded

We watched Yellowstone last night. I spotted Beth pouring from a bottle of Old Weller. Later, at the Governors Ball, the ranch hands were getting a pour from Buffalo Trace.
Dan met with a friend for dinner tonight. He's the bourbon friend that I like so much. He was telling Dan that you can't find a bottle of either Old Weller or Buffalo Trace on the local shelves, but those bottles were plentiful last weekend, before the show's airing. Crazy how a little screen time on a popular show can influence people like that.
-
The question you didn't answer was how many of those bottles do you have in your collection? :emot_laughing: :emot_kiss:

Lester Holt on NBC Nightly News right now.
Survivor is recording. Turning it on in a minute.
Amazing Race is after that. M & Dan watch it, I grab my Kindle while they watch that.
I'll be off for the rest of the evening.

I know the feeling. Wanted to buy my dad some since hes a faithful Yellowstone watcher, and I stopped by the best liquor shop in this one horse town, and they were cleaned out of them both, so I asked the owner to set aside a bottle of each for me for christmas. Bought two bottles of Banana liqueur for my holiday baking. Nothing tastes better on a cold winter morning than warm drunken banana nut bread.

Been re-watching series 2 of Fargo.
Want to visit Minnesota now. (Even if it was filmed in Canada.)

Fargo is actually in North Dakota, but trust me. You do not want to visit it. A friend’s granddaughter recently obtained an athletic scholarship to The University of Minnesota Crookston. She is so excited but doesn’t understand Crookston is 300 miles from Minneapolis.

Last night I finished streaming "Magpie Murders," and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I read the novel it was based on a couple of years ago, and the series -- which was written by the author of the novel -- actually does it one better.
In both the book and the movie, there are two parallel plot lines (no spoilers). One takes place in the present, where a book editor receives the new manuscript from an internationally famous mystery writer -- and it's missing the final chapter. The writer then dies under suspicious circumstances, and the editor seeks to find the missing chapter and solve the mystery of the author's death.
The second plot line is the fictional mystery story itself, played out parallel to the present-day plot. In the book, the two plot lines play out in separate sets of chapters. In the series, the plot switches back and forth more regularly -- and some of the actors play different roles in both the present-day story and the mystery story.
P.S. It's "Magpie Murders," and not "The Magpie Murders." You'll see why the distinction is important.

It was only a couple of years ago that I watched all series of The Big Bang Theory. Have just discovered Young Sheldon. Mrs Obi didn't bother with TBBT but thinks YS is real ROFLMAO stuff.

Whoever recently recommended “Where the Crawdads Sing”, thank you. That was a mind blowing piece of work. Wow.
-
That would be our favorite raptor, who puts the CHIC in Chicago.
Woo #1405 to Watcher1.

I too enjoyed "Where The Crawdads Sing". I read the book shortly after it came out. As usual there is so much more detail in the book.
How the young girl survives on her own is only briefly touched on. As somewhat of a nature boy I could appreciate her love for the critters around her.
We paid a few dollars on Amazon Prime Video to watch the show because of how much I enjoyed the book. Now I see it's available on Netflix and we could have saved those few dollars to go towards a replacement car. :-[ :roll:

The eight episode feature called Wednesday, now playing on Netflix. Wednesday is the name of the girl in the Addams Family. In this feature, she is away at a boarding school. The actress playing Wednesday is cute and the I enjoyed the series.

Just finished "Lost In Space". Great special effects but I found the storytelling to be disjointed in many parts.
-
The last season of Locke and Key on Prime. Soooo frustrating watching these people make the decision they make? I understand it's for suspense and whatnot, but why do shows make their characters so stupid at some points, and super geniuses at others... figure out a different way that keeps them consistent.
-
Yesterday we watched "Smokey and the Bandit". Burt Reynolds flick 1977.
It was the pick of wife's son. We celebrate T-day on Sunday as he works holidays.
Movie was his pick but I roared all through it. It's held up very well over the years. May watch it again sometime soon.
Wife's son has seen it a lot. He knew all the punch lines and would blurt them out before the actor could. :facepalm:
But it made for a fun day. :D
-
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin',
A-we gonna do what they say can't be done.
We've got a long way to go, and a short time to get there,
I'm east bound, just watch ol' "Bandit" run!
I immediately get that ear worm anytime S & TB is mentioned.
I’ve also been known to spontaneously burst into the song on long car trips with the children in the backseat. Much to their chagrin.
-
Glad you enjoyed it too. Sorry for the ear worm. :emot_laughing:
-
Whoever recently recommended “Where the Crawdads Sing”, thank you. That was a mind blowing piece of work. Wow.
Did you think she was guilty?
-
I highly recommend the book. The movie was ok, but just a bare bones coverage of her life in the marsh. Especially right after her dad left her alone. The book details her learning about the wildlife around her and how that helped her. Great read even if you know the ending from the movie.
-
Did you think she was guilty?
Not until the very end, when Tate finds the necklace. Which makes everything you had assumed and emotionally invested in during the movie a big mess.
-
Took some time this past weekend to watch "Everything, Everywhere, All at Once." Great movie all around. It's the shining example of the sci-fi multiverse/kung-fu movie that Fearless by Jet Li wasn't. Take the premise of Fearless, mix in the positivity of Steven Universe, and add in a healthy dose of some Hunter S. Thompson WTFness and you've got what could easily be a shitty movie pulled off just right.
I'm becoming a fan of A24's movies.
-

I still think it was the shop keeper, and he gave her the pendant to show her she was safe from him.

Good Night Oppy on Amazon Prime. The story of rover Opportunity’s 90 day mission to Mars that turned into 15 years of exploration. It’s a documentary that feels like a drama. Dare you not to get a little choked up.
-
I agree Toe. That little rover traveling all over for 15 years on a mission that was hoped to last 90 days was remarkable. Oppy was like the Energizer Bunny. They just kept giving it new missions. It's no wonder several of the rocket scientists shed tears when it finally stopped working.

Survivor. One of the most cut throat blindsides at tribal council the history of the show. I started screaming.

The Glass Onion on Netflix. Tech billionaire Miles Bron invites his friends for a getaway on his private Greek island. When someone turns up dead, Detective Benoit Blanc is put on the case. Daniel Craig in a very entertaining post-Bond role. Ed Norton plays a very crazy billionaire who can’t help but make you think about Elon Musk.
Holidate. Funny romcom. Fed up with being single on holidays, two strangers agree to be each other's platonic plus-ones all year long, only to catch real feelings along the way. Emma Roberts.
Murder Mystery. A New York cop and his wife go on a European vacation to reinvigorate the spark in their marriage, but end up getting framed and on the run for the death of an elderly billionaire. It was good when it was good, and awful when it was bad. Very annoying Adam Sandler.
-
The Glass Onion on Netflix.
Been wanting to watch that. Perhaps I'll have it playing while i clean up this post holiday apocalypse of a kitchen. And plus, Daniel Craig and those eyes... :emot_thdrool:

Also just watched Wednesday. It was left open for a season 2 but also wrapped up nicely as a stand-alone mini-series if they decide to kill it. It is a little Harry Potterish, but more grounded in horror, which I like. Still no decision on if it will be renewed for season 2. It is streaming on Netfix.

Another show I've been following is Avenue 5, with Hugh Laurie. It's a comedy about an off-course space cruise ship. Laurie plays the captain, but he's not really a captain. He is an actor hired by the real captain who didn't want to deal with the passengers. Everything quickly begins to unravel when the real captain gets killed in about the first 5 minutes. It is extremely funny, if sometimes silly. No word yet as to a season 3. Season one and two are available on HBOMax.
(https://th.bing.com/th/id/R.b593cf4102dd2d252a59ace0462d3554?rik=JEIg1z29%2fCdCFQ&pid=ImgRaw&r=0&sres=1&sresct=1)
A show I am also very excited about that has been renewed for season 4, is Love, Death, and Robots. It also streams on Netflix. Made up of short animated films, no longer than 22 minutes each, each film is by a different director, writer, or studio. Each animation style is different and ranges in themes from Santa actually being a hideous monster that vomits up presents for good children to a farmer getting into a guerilla warfare battle with rats in his barn. Some are creepy, some are funny. and some are downright heartbreaking. I highly recommend it.

As ordered by PH on another thread I watched American Pie over the holiday; very funny. Jennifer Coolidge and Shannon Elizabeth - my ultimate fantasy threesome.
"So uh, 'shaved' is the expression?" :aol_poundit:
From IMDb
"The film was originally rated NC-17 by the MPAA. It took three resubmissions to obtain an R-rating. A few scenes had to be edited or trimmed to achieve the rating...
The main reason for the MPAA's NC-17 decision was the infamous pie scene. In the original cut, Jim did four thrusts into the pastry - too many for an R. The filmmakers and the MPAA wound up settling on two thrusts."
What sort of twisted censorship mind distinguishes between the number of thrusts?
-
The same kind that allows the F-word to be spoken once in a PG-13 movie, but only once. If the word is used twice, the movie gets rated R.
There are some other considerations about drug usage, violence and brief nudity, but every PG-13 movie I've ever seen slips one FUCK in the dialogue at some point.
Whenever I watch a PG-13 movie, I make a game out of spotting the one time, and I remember a movie where I thought I had missed it somehow. It turned out to be in the closing credits where the cast was singing and Maureen McCormick (best known as Marcia Brady) had a short solo and sang the line "I'll bust your fuckin' head" (if you call her Marcia one more time or something like that).
A small excerpt from the MPAA (https://www.showbizjunkies.com/mpaa-ratings/) rules for PG-13 ratings spells out the one F-word rule:
A motion picture’s single use of one of the harsher sexually-derived words, though only as an expletive, initially requires at least a PG-13 rating. More than one such expletive requires an R rating, as must even one of those words used in a sexual context.
The link fully explains all five ratings: G, PG, PG-13, R, NC-17

The Fabelmans
It was good. It was long. It was entertaining, but I wouldn't say it was the best movie I've watched in the past year. It was definitely worth the price of admission.
BUT....we no sooner got home and turned on the television. Guess what was on. The Golden Globes. And The Fabelmans won best movie. As I said, it was good, but not that good.
Popcorn was on point. Frozen Coke was not wet enough, I had to keep pulling the straw up and push it back down the cup in just to get a sip.
The Fablemans 7.5 ⭐️'s
Frozen Coke 3 ⭐️'s
Popcorn 9 ⭐️'s

I saw the Golden Globes last night, I had it was already on my list of movies I want to see. I will definitely try to see it before the Oscars. You can buy it on Amazon prime right now, but it’s something like $20.

Just watched the first (2) episodes of "Velma" on HBOmax. It's an adult animated origin story of Velma from Scooby-Doo. Quite funny but the updated, more culturally diverse format takes a bit of getting used to. Mindy Kaling stars and produces. All in all not a bad iteration of the classic mystery-solving teens. There is no mystery machine, other than in the name of a drug Daphne is selling, and no Scooby-Doo. Those were the things that upset me when I first heard about the show. Most people were crying over the fact that Velma was Asian. Spoiler, Daphne and Velma hook up in the second episode, so yeah, it's pretty different.

Finally got around to watching Knives Out. Excellent movie. We're a few years behind but wanted to watch it before it goes to cable and the DVR accidentally records the last minute or two and it spoils it for us. Next up is Glass Onion, hopefully this weekend.

I loved Knives Out but thought Glass Onion was a disappointment when I saw it a couple of days ago.
-
The Glass Onion got a Golden Globe nomination for best film. I enjoyed it.

It was really good. I did enjoy it. By far, my favorite part was when he ruined the whole "fake death" game. Not as good as the first knives put, but I still really enjoyed it.

The Fablemans won a Golden Globe, so I bought it on Amazon Prime. Moving film. Interesting on so many different levels. I predict another Oscar for Spielberg.
And Michelle Williams. Incredible as Spielberg’s mom.

Ghislaine Maxwell, Filthy Rich playing in Netflix. A documentary detailing how she was accused and found guilty of procuring young women to soothe the sexual appetite of billionaire Jeffery Epstein. She, of the rich and famous of England and Epstein thought because of their wealth and contacts, they would never be caught or tried. Even Prince Harry was caught in having sex with a minor. His mother, Queen Elizabeth, stripped him of his title.

Prince Andrew you meant to say.
I think we will watch this when we get a chance.

Andrew hasn't been stripped of his title, but he has been removed from all royal duties and responsibilities. Latest news is that he is looking to overturn the Victoria Guiffre settlement.

Watching the CBS Sunday Morning show. One of the feature stories was about the great Carl Reiner. For you youngsters here, his story starts in the early 1950s.
He was the head writer on the Dick Van Dyke Show along with making several appearances on the show.
Another show that he was a major part of was The Sid Caesar Show.
His best friend and comedy partner was Mel Brooks. They stayed close until Reiner's death. The long running 2000 Year Old Man never failed to crack me up.
Their kind of humor has faded and makes me sad. It was all meant in fun. There was no mean spirited slams to get a cheap laugh.
I'll admit I had a tear on the corner of my eye when the piece was over.
-
And he gave us his talented son, Rob Reiner, who has done so many great things through the years, including Meathead on All in the Family.

It is a rainy Sunday, my mom and dad have already left town, with a passable goodbye, and my daughter and Mimi are in her room with her friends trying to hide the fact they are watching the "50 shades" series from me and my wife. IDC if they watch it, but I want them to understand that the subject matter is far from a normal relationship as possible and that it was written as a twilight fanfic jilling fodder for women, in the vein of the most extreme harlequin romance novels ever.
But me and my wife are in the middle of our anime watch list binge, and are watching the entire "Monogatari" series, which is pretty good, with a bit of perversion and mind fuckiness. The story is a high school boy gets tangled up with a vampire, then is almost turned human again and he has to deal with the "oddities" his friends are dealing with. I suggest it for those who want a bit of commentary on life and some supernatural hijinks.
Also for Shiela, me and wife watched the "Ginger Snaps" series, which is pretty good for a werewolf flick.

Sachertorte
Lovely, lovely film set in Vienna. Beautiful European romantic comedy, without the butt jokes that American films require. Loved it.

That 90s show on Netflix.
It was fun seeing all the cameos, but having grown up in the 90s in Wisconsin... men. Maybe I was expecting more nostalgia, but other than the Alanis Morissette song, I didnt see anything that gave me that feeling.
-
Griffin & Phoenix (2006)
I would have loved to have heard this movie pitched. “The guy with terminal lung cancer meets a woman with a secret… wait for it… she has terminal breast cancer. What a great idea! They fall in love knowing they are both about to die!”
Pretty sad film. But Amanda Peet is beautiful.
-
A Man Called Otto
Such an enjoyable film. We watched it yesterday I read the book a couple of years ago, so my expectations were not that high, as they never are watching a movie after reading the book. The storyline is predictable, but that's beside the point. The movie was just very well done. As I watched, I couldn't wait for the next flashback from Otto.
Take a Kleenex or two. Even Dan could have used one.
The funny thing about the theater experience was that we were the youngest people there. Everybody was Florida retirees. I think they all could relate to Otto, and heard a few wives whisper to their husbands that they were guilty of having similar traits as Otto. E walking into the lobby afterward the patrons were all talking about how much they enjoyed the movie.
One of my favorite movies in the past year.

Shotgun Wedding
On Prime. JLo and Josh Duhamel.
I really plan to be bored and annoyed by this movie. And I would say the first hour did not disappoint. But then the plot twists came in, and the action (and comedy) significantly improved. It ended up being a very enjoyable little romcom.
-
I had watched the first episode of the new Night Court and wasn't that impressed with it so I found on freevee the original Night Court series and am enjoying the old series.

Rescued by Ruby, playing on Netflix.
Based on a true story about a Rhode Island State Trooper who took a rescued dog and trained her to become a member of the state's K-9 unit. From a dog that six households had adopted and returned, due to the dog's independence, to a dog that ended up saving the injured son of one of the shelter's workers.

I've been revisiting a variety of shows lately. Many of them are older.
- M*A*S*H - Aired before my time, but DAMN, you'd never get away with it today. Both lighthearted and serious at the same time.
- Millennium - A show by Chris Carter of X-Files fame. This show is grittier than its predecessor and is very dark.
- Farscape - An amazing show made in the early 2000s by Hallmark, Jim Henson Productions and Studio 7 Australia. This show is a great sci-fi show, with a good mix of individual episodes and main story ones. It gets better over time as well.
- Home Movies - A show by the now defunct Soup2Nuts studio, also known for Dr. Katz at the time. An adult-oriented cartoon framed from the perspective of kids making home movies and some of the terrible and not-so-terrible adults around them.
- Hell's Kitchen - If you don't know what this is, look it up. It is standard reality TV trash, but I still enjoy it.
- Gold Rush - Ongoing series about plasser miners in the Yukon and Alaska.
- Restaurant Impossible - One of my favorite rennovation/improvement shows because it is very "real". Yes it is still reality TV but it has real heart to it.
- Bering Sea Gold - people mining gold off the bottom of the Bering Sea in Nome, Alaska.
WHEW!
-
“Somebody I Used to Know” 2023. A big meh. Bunch of 30-ish kids struggle with what love means. Dave Franco wrote it with his wife, so I should have known was going to be melodramatic schlock. And it was. Alison Brie tits on display, but not worth the viewing time.

Not sure how accessible UK ITV programmes are. Just watched the final episode of the final series of "Endeavour", a prequel to the iconic "Morse" detective series. Very nice finale.

"A Cook's Tour" 2001-2002 with Anthony Bourdain. I think this was his first show about food and travel. Very raw and unvarnished. And, knowing now how his story ended, very poignant at times. seeker83, he has an episode with a young British chef in one episode. Perhaps you've heard of him.? Gordon Ramsay.

We're getting that show on public TV over here. Not sure what series they're on. It's fun watching them moving the character of Morse along getting him closer to the wise, older detective he became.
I think it's also available on Amazon Prime

Watching “the Night Agent” on Netflix. Just came out today. 10 episodes. It’s a Netflix made show so I’m sure it has a dumb ending but I’m game to watch it.

Thanks Coach, we might check that out. We have a lot to catch up on. The last thing I watches was SURVIVOR. I'm so hooked on that show.
I thought I mentioned on here I'm watching PARTY DOWN. It came out for two seasons in 2011ish. Then they just released a season in 2022. It's funny. Dumb funny. But I'm enjoying it. If you decide to watch, at least get through S1, E3. And if you made it that far, you might as well watch the PORN CONVENTION episodes. Lots of boobs. If you like boobs that is.
It's on Starz.

So the other show I really liked was “The Recruit” and also “Treason” was good. All have a Bourne feel to them

Bullet Train. Allan loved it. I was mildly entertained by it. It wasn't good, wasn't terrible, but had a few parts that made me laugh. Probably would have liked it better if Ryan Reynolds had a bigger role.

Watched the previews on Cocaine Bear. I'll wait for it to come to streaming for free.
But, it is Tuesday, so that means $5 movie day and $1 Large popcorn. So, we are going to see CHAMPIONS starring Woody Harrelson. In the movie he is a fired college basketball coach that ends up in front of the judge, and is court ordered to perform community service by coaching mentally challenged kids.
The preview looks great. I'll report back later.

We loved Night Agent. Took us 3 nights to watch all 10 episodes. I love that they left it open for a possible sequel. Thanks again for mentioning it, else we wouldn't have watched it.
We went to $5 Tuesday ant MJR and saw CHAMPIONS yesterday with Woody Harrelson. It was a wonderful movie. I laughed so many times. The acting was fantastic by everyone. The storyline was predictable, but it was just so feel-goodish. And one of the best parts is where Woody almost bloopers the scene by almost laughing at some of the lines delivered to him. I absolutely loved it.
Rating scale:1 star = poor, 4 stars = excellent
Movie: 4
Popcorn: 4
Frozen Coke: n/a, ( I had a Slurpee the other night so I was good.)
AND I have a new girl crush because of the movie. Katelin Olson. OMG, I loved her from the opening scene. I actually didn't know she would be in the movie after that scene, but she was. Love her. Funny lady.

We started the "Night Agent" a couple days ago. Got hooked just a half hour of episode one. Comments from Coach and Jules make me just want to spend the day binging the rest of the shows.
-
Just seen the first episode of the new BBC adaptation of "Great Expectations". Viewable as an interesting curiosity in its own right but a terrible travesty of one of the greatest 19th century novels.
-
Starting “In From The Cold” on Netflix now. 8 episodes. Looks pretty good
-
We watched The Banshees of Inisherin last night.
It was up for Oscars and Golden Globes, I was really fired up to watch this. It's free on HBO max now, so, I got all settled in on the couch with my blanket and p.j.'s on, and at the end of the movie I was speechless, like "wtf did I just watch?"
I am dumbfounded what people saw in this. There were some funny parts, but on the whole. Just... I mean omg, I wish I had spent my time doing something else.

Just started to watch Series 2 of Sex/Life on Netflix. Thinly veiled soft-core porn but I had forgotten how outstanding Sarah Shahi's nipples are, they could have your eye out ;D

The debate is still on if that was Adam Demos' real dick or a prosthetic enhancement ;D

Wow! I'm going with real. That's a bigger'.
Can you imagine if it is prosthetic. The poor makeup artist.

You make a very tough argument, but you've twisted my arm and I'll concede and give it a watch.

Dangling temptation in front of my eyes!

As much as we talked about The Night Agent, I thought I’d say that I read that Netflix approved a second season
-
The Night Agent...Netflix approved a second season
Good news. I just told Dan. "Excellent," he replied.
I see that Quantum Leap is renewed (thanks GG). Hokey kinda of show, but interestingly nonetheless. I really enjoyed the "Transgender in sports" episode. Hope many have watched it and learned something from it. We haven't yet finished the season from being in Florida. I think we still have 6 episodes to go.

Is that a new version? I much enjoyed the old Scott Bakula series; don't remember any transgender episodes in that ;D
-
Nope this is a new version. They still reference the old show. The only character to return is Ernie Hudson, who has the second best voice in acting after James Earl Jones. IMHO

There is hope.
This morning, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down a decision that declared West Virginia's ban on transgender athletes playing for girls' sports team.
It was a 7-2 decision, with only Thomas and Alito dissenting.

Just watched Kill Boksoon on Netflix. Feel kind of mixed on it. Wasn’t bad but felt like it dragged along also.
Next might watch the new Top Gun movie on Prime.

Paint
I thought it was supposed to be a movie loosely based off Bob Ross, but other than painting scenery, it had nothing to do with Bob Ross. It wasn't bad, and had a rather decent plot to it, but the only thing I could think of was
"What Flip Flopping year is it supposed to be?!?!"
At first you'd think the 80's, but then parts make you think the 70s maybe 60s, and then they have stuff from the 2000s.
Rotary phones with call waiting flat screen TVs with a telethon and Uber... um WHAT?

We went to see AIR today. I was pleasantly surprised. Great music. I recommend it. Only downside is that I hated Ben's acting though. I'm becoming less and less of a fan of his.
Movie : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Popcorn: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
No frozen coke today.

I would not have expected that. I dont have an interest in basketball, nor does a lot of people I know.
Saw that new Mario movie. I'm an 80s baby that grew up with Nintendo, so i was expecting to see some nostalgia. I didn't play a whole lot of video games, but Allan loves that stuff so he was pretty stoked about seeing it. It was cute, but WAY more violent than I thought it should have been. Good 80's sound track though. Love me some A-Ha

Oh god, I'm not a basketball fan. The story was more about NIKE and the pursuit of signing Michael Jordan. NIKE was my running shoe for years, so that part of the story was really of interest to me.
And prior to signing him, their highest gross in their basketball shoe department was about 3 million in a year. The year after they signed him it was something like $180million. (trying to recollect the number, may not have been 180, but it was a heckuva a lot more than 3.)
The movie is good. The music is great (for a 80's-90's kid).

Carol Burnett: 90 Years of Laughter on NBC. What a tremendous testimony for a multi-talented generational entertainer.
Ironic that after her show ran for 11 years on CBS, it's NBC that salutes her, don't you think?
-
We've Tivoed the Carol Burnett special. Will watch it this weekend. I'm sure I'll roar with laughter at some of the clips they'll show. She's still a great talent at 90 and was able to bring out the best in those who worked with her.
No doubt there will be some misty eyes as so many of the stars she appeared with have passed away.
-
Watched "Kelly's Heroes" last night. Still hurt from laughing so hard. Yeah, I've seen it several times, but doubt if I'll ever get tired of it.
It's not too far off the truth from some of what went on during WW II. What the Germans didn't loot the GI's cleaned out.
It was fun seeing an all star cast as they moved through enemy lines on their way to rob a bank full of gold. The General heard radio traffic about the breakthrough and heads out with a box full of medals to congratulate the "heroes".
It's a most enjoyable film that's held up over the years. With so many of the stars dead now also adds to the pleasure of the movie, watching how great they were.
-
I’m on the last episode of The Watchmen on HBOMax. Bit strange but good. I loved the comic so wanted to watch it. Not based on anything in print and there will not be another season. Hope to finish it tonite

Air (2023)
The movie explores how Nike's basketball shoe division was struggling in 1984 due to low sales, and how the company's Marketing VP Rob Strasser and CEO Phil Knight tasked basketball talent scout Sonny Vaccaro to find a new spokesperson for their shoes. Although they considered third draft pick Michael Jordan off limits due to his preference for Adidas and Converse, Vaccaro convinced them that Jordan was a generational talent, and that Nike should pursue him and try to convince Jordan to sign with Nike.
Great flick. Incredible. Matt Damon is just awesome.
-
A Man Called Otto. Tom Hanks does what Tom Hanks does best and that's turn what most likely wouldn't e heen a burning slow movie into something that I really enjoyed. A relatively small cast with a lot of character. I'm not a movie critic by any means. But I recommend it 100%
Netflix
-
The latest series of "Inside No.9" on the BBC, from the people who brought us "The League Of Gentlemen". Short (half-hour) horror stories with a comic twist, or maybe vice versa.
-
I came across a mild porn movie called Alice In Wonderland 1976. I have to admit is a bit on the silly side but neverthe less it is good for a laugh. There was lots of boobs pussy and cocks so it can't be all bad. part way throught i just had to pullout my cock well I am sure you all know what I did it was fun. Has any one else seen the film?
-
NYT recommended Heat (2003) on Netflix as the best “thinking man’s action flick ever.” I had not seen it in 20 years, but I have to agree. The character development, the subplots, the dialogue are all Michael Mann masterpieces. DeNiro and Pacino were at the top of their game. Winona was delectable. Great movie.
-
What else...Scooby-Doo. The version called. "Be cool Scooby-Doo,". I'd the best. It's the only one that ever made me laugh out loud.
If someone can tell me how to attach a picture, I'll upload a screenshot.
Thanks.

KB doesn't host images directly. You need to upload them to an image hosting site, my personal favourite is imgur because they turn a blind eye to porn posted privately. When you have uploaded your image, right click on it and select "copy image link". Then back on KB click on the thread reply button, select the image icon (Mona Lisa, first one on the second row at the top of the reply pane). Your cursor will automatically be placed between the html img tags, then right click and select paste. Preview/Post as normal.

The Departed (2006)
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)
Two films I saw a very long time ago. Better than I remember them. Or perhaps my perceptions have changed with the years. I perceive and interpret things differently, as I age.

Just watched the start of the final season of "Endeavor". This has been the prequel to the very popular series "Inspector Morse". I very much enjoyed that show so to see a young Morse develop in this prequel has been entertaining
I'm looking forward to seeing how the producers wrap up the series.My big hope is that we see Morse get that classic Jag that he drove in the original series.
OK, I must confess I checked and the "Inspector Morse" series is only available on BritBox. How many streaming services can you get on Social Security?
So I checked on the DVDs. Amazon had the full series for just fifty bucks and change. One click and it was ours. Too dang easy :facepalm:

According to an earlier post by Miss Barbara it's available on Prime in the USA. I think you will be very pleasantly surpised at the finale.

"Man Of Steel" - an interesting approach but far to much 'crash, bang wallop' and plot jumps.
-
I watched “John Wick 1” for the first time last night. Basically two hours of killing people. I would venture to guess there were 100 deaths, easily. Not my cup of tea.
Others seen on Netflix since the NBA finals are over…
Django
Fury
Caddyshack
Glory
Inglorious Bastards
My son and I were working on a list of the greatest war movies ever made. Made me want to watch some of them again.
Strangest one I watched? The Peanut Butter Falcon. Did make me want to see Dakota Fanning naked.

Watched a good war movie the other night called Monument Men. With George Clooney and others. Was worth a look.
-
Toe...Two that need to be on the top of your list. "The Longest Day".& "A Bridge Too Far". Both from the books by Cornelius Ryan. The author did extensive interviews with survivors so the books are based on what happened by the people who were there. Ryan just tied all his interviews into the books
The movies tho' condensed show a thumbnail sketch of the books. After seeing the movies I recommend reading the books. Most important was the "Longest Day". The account of the D-Day invasion as seen by the people who were there is historic and bone chilling. I remember tears running down my face in several places of the book.
Sorry I know you are looking for movies and I went off topic but those books are important. Here's a movie for me going off topic.
""Kelly's Heroes " lots of laughs, if war can be funny.
-

I have seen both movies. And I think that “Saving Private Ryan“ incorporated elements from both. Certainly the bridge scene at the end of the film.

Have seen and enjoyed that one also.

Long time since I have seen them but I think I preferred "The Dirty Dozen"
-
Please don't forget Kubrick's "Paths Of Glory" in any list of great (anti-)war films.

"Dirty Dozen" wea another great one. Le Marvin was always a favorite of mine. Jim Brown 's run at the end reminded me of his football days.

Sweet Home Alabama. And I’m bawling like a baby. Because it makes me think about the small, redneck, one water tower town I grew up in. And how I feel like an alien whenever I return. And how, no matter how far away I have run, how many countries and exotic locales I have visited, how much fine wine and champagne I have quaffed, I’m still a small town boy inside. And I always will be.

You're fortunate to have a sense of identity. I was stateless until the age of sixteen, and dread being asked, "Where are you from?" It takes too long to answer, and I find most people lose interest halfway through.
I once told a Chinese lady about my stateless background. She said, "Me too. I was stateless until I was twenty," and produced an old alien registration card that she kept as a memento.
-
Blade Runner 2049. I liked the original but maybe it's my age as I found 2049 slow, overlong, and portentous. Also somewhat obscure as I missed some of the points until I read reviews of it.
The Shape Of Water. Profoundly different and not what I expected. Weird but also lovely.
Going to see Oppenheimer tomorrow.

Hello Grand Portage, MN.
Back in the US.
We could not pick up any stations on the antenna in Canada. Nothing. No cable at any of the campgrounds either. Haven't Seen a thing since before the 4th of July.
Long day of traveling and I don't even want to try scanning for stations. Beddy bye in a couple.
Home on Monday afternoon ish.

Hope you saw the waterfall at GP. Spectacular.

You’ve probably already driven past Grand Marais Minnesota. That is where ex number one (the photo I looked “so young” in) was from. She graduated from high school in Duluth. I spent a lot of time up there. I still crave a Brandy Alexander from the Pickwick in Duluth from time to time.

I thought it was a brilliant film and the security enquiry interesting and very well done. Unfortunately the film was ruined for Mrs Obi and I by the background music obscuring the dialog in many places plus that real bugbear of mine - actors speaking in breathless tones during emotional scenes, sometimes background music and sotto vocce at the same time. Directors THIS IS NOT NECESSARY FOR EFFECT. SOTTO VOCCE MAY MEAN NOT WANTING TO BE OVERHEARD BUT YOUR AUDIENCE WANTS TO HEAR. At one stage I turned to Mrs Obi and said, loud enough for others to hear, "can you turn the subtitles on please?"
-
American opera houses often show subtitles above the stage. I’ve often wondered why movie theaters don’t do the same. We have an aging population, and a lot of people (myself included) have difficulty hearing. That is why I usually wait to watch movies until they come out on Amazon.

Same here; re opera houses/movie theatres and Amazon, but I find sur-titles, as we call them, in opera houses to be distracting because they are usually above the stage. I really wanted to see Oppenheimer on the big screen first though. My house doesn't have walls big enough for those 60" plus TV screens ;D
-
I have a 65” Amazon Fire TV (size matters). But a typical IMAX screen is 16 meters high by 22 meters wide (approximately 52 by 72 feet), but they can be much larger. The largest IMAX screen is 30 meters (98 feet) high. Can’t hold a candle to that. They said the IMAX print of Oppenheimer is almost 3 miles long. Barely fits on the projector.
-
You probably would have to be one to understand just how funny this is.

I have to add it was a great performance all round by all the actors. Quite forgot about Cillian Murphy/Peaky Blinders and didn't recognize Gary Oldman in his cameo. Thought Robert Downey Jr. was very good as well.

Missed the water full Bob :(, But we spent about 4 hours in Grand Marais. Walked out to the lighthouse. Sat there looking out at the lake. Little ducklings following mom and dad came near until momma duck gave a quack and they all turned on the spot. I forget the restaurant we visited. Voyauguers perhaps. Yeah, I spelled it wrong. We ate appetizers and I ordered a flight of beer while Dan had wine. Beautiful town.
Tonight we are seeing Indiana Jones (whatever sequel) tonight at the $5 movies.
Oppenheimer next week. Maybe Barbie in a double feature. Then back up to the cottage.
And we need to watch in the coming week the final Jack Ryan on Amazon Prime before we go back to the cottage mid next week.
-
Not a huge Indiana Jones fan, but it was good. I missed going to the movies. This 'up north' living cuts into some of my little joys in life, but it's worth the trade off.
The movies were packed. Two theatres showing Barbie. Oppenheimer was sold out. Mission Impossible was sold out. Elemental was sold out. Sound of Freedom was sold out. Indy Jones was half full.
We couldn't find a parking spot. Dan dropped us off at the doors and he finally found a parking spot. 25 minute line for concessions.
No more evening showings for us on $5 Tuesday. Early afternoon from now on.
Popcorn was spot on. Missed it so much. Rating: 5 stars
Frozen coke machine was overworked and a little to wet. Rating: 2 stars
Indiana Jones. Rating: 3-1/2 stars. Special effects of making him look 40 years younger was amazing. Storyline so-so.
Dan is a Indy fan though and gives it 4-1/2 stars.
-
I heard that Sound of Freedom is “sold out” because block seating purchased by various 4chan conspiracy nuts. Was the theater full? The movie propagates a lie that Ukraine is a bunch of Nazis engaged in the human trafficking of children.
-
Watched 65 on Netflix over the weekend. Was OK. Not great but not bad. Only 1 and a half hours so watchable.
Will start the second half of the Witcher probably tonite. Also saw that Twisted Metal should. E out on Peacock today so might have to at least watch the first episode of that. Heard they are only 30 minutes each

I watched Her (2013) last night. Now keep in mind that this movie was created 11 years ago. AI did not exist for consumers. Smart phones were just getting started. And here is a prophetic movie about AI apps that engage in online relationships with humans, and all the good bad and ugly that came from it. Very eerie to watch.
February 3 of this year, one of the biggest AI companies, Luka, banned erotic role play (ERP) on its Replika platform. You would have thought it was the end of the world. People were going bat shit crazy, threatening self harm, lawsuits, and having nervous breakdowns.
Which led me to form this conclusion: Nothing good will ever come from giving your most personal data, thoughts, feelings, and fantasies to a for-profit corporation.
We are only on the cusp of this. AI will continue to evolve and develop. And people will be sucked deeper and deeper into the machine. Because there’s a lot of needy people who cannot find healthy interaction with others. The trouble is, AI does not have a conscience, is not “truly” sentient, and does not understand or respect boundaries. It’s like that old Pogo cartoon, “We have seen the enemy. And he is us.“

TIL it is “The Bridge On the River Kwai,” not “The Bridge Over the River Kwai.”

Disney's Haunted Mansion. It was in theaters for one night so they can put it on streaming service right away. Was pretty good, had some parts in the end I didn't really care for, they just seemed to slow everything down and felt out of place, but otherwise it was decent, not going to subscribe to disney to see it again, but I feel I got my money's worth.

This is a really weird request.
I stream movies and TV shows simultaneously with my nephews in Chicago. Right now we're halfway through the second season of "The Lincoln Lawyer" (we watched the first season together).
We just finished Episode 5, and there's something about it that really bothers me, perhaps because I'm completely misunderstanding a key plot element.
If anyone has or is watching this, could you PM me (to avoid spoilers)?
-
Ha. Life is so funny. Here I am on a forum where literally anything can be openly discussed with no shame or judgement. Reading all your responses, I feel very self conscious to say I just binge watched the Breaking Bad series, the Better Call Saul series, and the El Camino movie thinking they were newish releases.
I guess, I've always been a late bloomer.
-
I've watched all those a few y.. they're timeless in my mind. I find them entertaining and glad you found them. Now another has enjoyed those great shows.
-
My Aunt and Uncle are obsessed with breaking bad and better call saul. I honestly don't think they've seen anything new in recent days.

I read the book, saw the movie, and I am a lawyer. But I’m not watching it again on television. So if there’s anything you want to know, from a legal standpoint, let me know.

We. Are watching JUSTIFIED, then The Lincoln Lawyer is next. Dan wanted to watch it earlier this year, but I kind of poo-poo'd it. I recently agreed we could watch that next. Are you enjoying it?

Tuesday $5 movies & Free popcorn Day!
Dressed in pink, I went to see the Barbie movie earlier. Yes, I asked Dan to wear a pink shirt and white shorts and sandals. Both girls were decked out in pink also.
I loved the movie. Some good adult humor that went over the younger one's head. "What's so funny, momma?" Shhhh. "Daddy, what's so funny?" shhh

We went to the $5 Tuesday movies yesterday to watch Disneys ELEMENTAL. It was good. I didn't sleep great the night before. It was a 10:30am showing (the only showing of the day), and I was tired. I might have fallen asleep for a bit.
The little one and her two friends that we took loved it. 5 stars from them.

I’ll admit, the premise sounds funny. Drug dealers drop blocks of cocaine over a national park to be retrieved by their dealers. What could be more funny than a bear snorting cocaine?
But there are three storylines in the movie. Two kids who skip school to go to the park and are sought by their frantic parent. Then there are the drug dealers looking for the cocaine. Finally, there are the park rangers and law enforcement who have violent encounters with the drug dealers and the coked out bear.
There is a *lot* of graphic violence, which I basically don’t like. And I think the kids should have been left out of the story entirely. But if you enjoy coke, violence, and people getting maimed and dismembered in all sorts of absolutely god-awful ways, this is your movie.
Ray Liotta’s last movie. Keri Russell playing mom roles now. Look for Brooklynn Prince to win an Academy some day, but not for this.

Not gonna lie, been wanting to watch cocaine bear since I saw it was coming to prime. Everybody who seen it has said it is stupid funny.
And how is it, in your opinion.?
I didn't know it was on Prime. I've been wanting to see it.
I havent watched it yet, I'll check it out soon though

Highlander (1986): A load of baloney, hope Sean Connery was suitably embarassed; I hear Highlander 2 is even worse.
The Gunfighter (1950): Very enjoyable, but anyone can guess the ending.

Have just finished watching the 4 Series of "Goliath " starring Billy Bob Thorntons ....and the final episodes of "The Lincoln Lawyer" .. can recommend both of them with maybe a preference for the former.

I watched about 10 minutes of Cocaine Bear, then turned it off. IMO, Unwatchable

Watched Special Ops : Lioness. While watching, I couldn't help but think Shiela was that big of a badass when she served. A good show. Dan has enjoyed it also. We're caught up to Episode 6, (I think). Total of 9 on the season (I think).
And now, we are back to watching the rest of Justifed. I'm not as committed to it as Dan is. I think I'm buying him a hat similar to the one Raylan wears.

We just got back from seeing HAUNTED MANSION Not my pick to see, but all three girls wanted to o. It was funny. Not an Owen Wilson fan, but I liked him and his character a lot. And of course I love Danny Devito, but who doesn't. Lakeith Stanfield , Tiffany Hadith were good, as was Rosario Dawson.
Fun, and funny, movie. Went in with low expectations and came out with a smile on my face.
Movie:4 stars
Popcorn: 5 stars

"Young Sheldon" Series 2 Finale. Brilliant ending with a crossover to The Big Bang Theory.
Apparently it was first shown later on the night that the final episode of TBBT was shown.

I liked Young Sheldon. We only discovered it in the past year. We watched about 5 episodes in season 1 and Dan lost interest. I might have to revisit it on the night s he goes to bed early.

Coach Prime, Season 1
Great show. It’s been renewed for season 2 at Colorado. Would love to see the Buffaloes beat TCU and Nebraska. We will see soon enough.

Sessions 2-7 of The Office, minus season 5, disk three because it was missing from the box set.
Love the fifth element. Bruce willis was a "yes I would" something about the ripped up tux... I don't know. Anyways. Dissapointed Luke Perry didn't have a bigger role. Also I almost bought a Leeloo Halloween costume. Gold leggings, baby t, and orange sling version, not white bandage version.

.
The Office is one of my all time favorite sitcoms. I should go back and rewatch the first few episodes of season 1. I forget how it started.
Modern Family is also a favorite, which we just watched season 1, episodes 1-4 last week. I was "snort" laughing, I was laughing so hard.

Thanks to GeminiGuy and his recent story, I'm watching Grimm all over again. Its been on the Comet channel late at night, and also around 11:00 so I can see two episodes while at work, and it's on Saturday for a few hours. But I've been letting it play on prime all day.
Monroe makes me want to learn German.

The Tender Bar (2021) A bittersweet piece, based on the true life of memoir about Pulitzer Prize winner JR Moehringer’s childhood on Long Island. For all of us who have had alcoholic fathers who abandoned them, it’ll tug your heart strings. Great performance by Ben Affleck, who plays Uncle Charlie. Moehringer made headlines recently when he ghost wrote Prince Harry’s biography “Spare.”

Black Adam didn’t lose money, but it was an under-performer in both the superhero add Dywane “the Rock” Johnson line of movies. Can’t really say anything good about it, except maybe former Bond Pierce Brosnan. He was the only person who brought 1 ounce of elegance to the film.
-
I haven't been a fan of any Dwayne Johnson movies since ever.
Who doesn't like Pierce? Nobody.
Also not a fan of Ben Afleck. I liked him in his up and coming days. Know I can't stand him. I watched Tender Bar when it first came out. I remember enjoying it, but thinking it would have been better without Ben. Also didn't like him in Air. I just see him on the screen and my mind screams "asshole"
Sorry, negative Nelly here tonight.

I thought Allan wanted to watch the wheel of time with me, but he was only interested because I was so excited about the new episodes. Since he doesn't really care, I was gonna watch it in my own. Started playing but it went to the first episode first season. Since it's been a bit and it diesnt fully follow the books like most adaptations I figured I'll watch it all over again.
Then I remembered what angered me the most about this version. What they did to Perrin is an absolute atrocity to the character. He wasn't a married blacksmith that accidental killed his wife, he was an apprentice to a blacksmith with no wife and wasnt "in love" with Egwene. I love his character arch, not simple because he communicates with wolves, but his entire storyline to me is most interesting.
Anyways, like MJ, I decided to re-read the entire series to right these wrongs, but that is going to have to wait, since I cant find most of the books. Probably accidentally donated them to charity along with my sex toys and lingerie.
Also. If I were and Aes Sedai, I'd totally be Green Ajah. 4 Warders... maybe 5
I figure Blue Ajah for MJ
Green Ajah for staci
Hilda and Histbuff would definitely be Brown Ajah
MissBarbara would be either Brown or possibly white Ajah

It's been so long, I'll have to look up which each mean. Brown had a thirst for knowledge and knew history well. Definitely Barb. But Red didn't like men, or was it only men that could touch the source. I'll have to do a bit of googling.
We might have to start a separate WoT thread. Especially if we share when Elaine touched the one power when holding the terangreal. I was a couple of books ahead of Dan in the series and he read that and asked, "Did the princess just have an orgasm?"

Geez! I need to print this out and keep for a guide.
Not having read the books makes it hard to follow. Then again, if there's big departures from the book 📚 t can be upsetting.

Watched Who Is Erin Carter on Netflix.
It’s OK. A bit slow but only 7 episodes. I made it thru in a little over a week.

We were thinking about that one, Eric. Probably will end up starting it soon.
Thank you for that Shiela. We just watched S1,E3, half way through E4.

Not the last thing, but future watch. We'll be diving into season five of "Virgin River" at noon today.
It's a chick show, but once I started watching it I was hooked. The show revolves around a nurse practitioner who leaves big city life behind for a small Northern California town filled with some kooky characters.
Then there's the on again off again love affair with the owner of the town's bar.
Season five dropped this morning with a season six already signed for.

I watched a 2003 documentary on the life and music of British guitarist Richard Thompson. There's a low-resolution copy on YouTube and a far better TV rip on Usenet.
I've followed Richard's musical career from his days with Fairport Convention, then as a duo with his wife Linda, then as a solo performer. I've also followed Linda's solo career and that of their son Teddy. Their music is part of my life. The documentary offers many fascinating insights by musicians, producers, and even comedian Billy Connolly. Narration is by John Peel.
It was sad to see Dave Swarbrick breathing through an oxygen tube, or to hear John Peel's mellifluous voice cracking with old age. It catches up with all of us. :(
-
What I want to see, but can’t, is “Ed” with Tom Cavanaugh and Julie Bowen. A funky little show about a big city lawyer who returns to his hometown in Ohio and buys the local bowling alley. Kind of a funky “Newhart.”
I read that the problem is the soundtrack. The show featured so many Grunge era pop hits that they can’t afford to pay the royalties. So four seasons of this great show are sitting in a warehouse somewhere. *sigh*

Having seen Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer, Mrs Obi and I decided to re-watch the 1980 BBC version starring Sam Waterston. Thought it was still very good and that the persecution of Oppenheimer was slower paced and better expounded than in the film. Note to self - must get a copy of "Nuclear Fission & Atomic Bombs For Dummies"

Several years ago I read the book "The Making of the Atomic Bomb," which covers a lot of the material in the movie. It's a doorstop (around 800 pages), and most of the physics went right over my head. But it was informative and compulsively readable.

Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates (2016). It’s a romcom on FreeVee. Starring Zac Efron and Anna Kendrick.

I wasn’t expecting much, but I’ll be damned if it wasn’t side splitting funny. Because it was just so over-the-top. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any raunchier and inappropriate, it would totally take it to the next level. The whole movie was this way. You were just watching in abject horror, laughing your ass off. Think Wedding Crashers squared.
Dave Stangle : What's a push-pop?
Mike Stangle : I made it up, Dave. It's a sexual term that I just made up.

Mike Stangle : I've been to the bowels of the internet and I've never seen a push-pop.
Dave Stangle : God, just tell me, what's a push-pop?
Mike Stangle : It's a whole hand up an ass, David. Is that what you want me to say?
Dave Stangle : Oh... Oh, God!
Mike Stangle : Two hands! Two hands pushing the pop! Pushing the pop! Is that what you want me to say? I'll send you some links.

I cant do it anymore. After episode 5 of The Wheel of Time, I cant watch it anymore.
I've already talked about what they did to Perrin by having him kill a wife he shouldn't have had, but then there is Mat who instead of a cocky headstrong mischievous person, they made him a sniveling whiner.
I started to dislike the path of moraine and Lan, and then they make two characters evil when they shouldnt be, but what moraine did to the horse is the straw that broke the camel's back. Not only did they not need to show it, but there was no need to do it to begin with.
There was a lot of things that I enjoyed about this show, including Ceara Coveney, the actress playing the daughter-heir Elayne Trakand pushing to overtake Kate Beckinsale as my one and only, but my issues with this show are getting too numerous.

I've started watching 3 times. Dan right along with me. And we just fade away from it.
We both read the full series. Neither of us can get into the show.
We are cracking up at ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING. I love Steve Martin. Martin Short is funny as heck. I've always been a fan of Selena. We have been binging. Now on S3, E2.

I watched Cream: Disraeli Gears, part of the "Classic Albums" series.
All three members of Cream and many of the people involved in the writing and production of the album were still alive in 2006 and interviewed for the documentary.
There were so many "I didn't know that" moments that my head is still reeling from information overload.
In those days I was too poor to buy a record player, let alone a copy of the album. Fortunately an American friend had brought over his Magnavox stereo set and had copies of both Fresh Cream and Disraeli Gears. A bunch of us would gather in his flat in <gasp> Chester Street, right behind Buckingham Palace, and groove to the sound of Cream and other bands.
I never got to see Cream live, but I did see Blind Faith and was at the Hyde Park concert at which they made their debut: Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker, Steve Winwood, and Ric Grech.

Just watched the first two episodes of "Manifest". Is it worth continuing?
-
The first three seasons are good. They keep the story line moving and the characters interacting well with each other.
Like most shows of the type the "woo-woo" factor starts getting silly. Go ahead and finish the first season Obi. I think you'll enjoy that.
-
Thanks Ms. I understand that NBC cancelled it after three seasons (6 were planned and presented by the author) and when Netflix licensed it it became such a hit they commissioned a fourth and final season. However Netflix can't show seasons 2 & 3 in the UK until the current NBC licensing expires.
-
That's odd. Ran into something like that on Amazon Prime. We've been watching "Sanctuary" with Amanda Tapping. (Stargate)
Finished season 2 and we were sent to season 4. Found out season 3 required us to pay for it. The other three seasons were free

I had a crush on Melissa Roxburgh

I got tired of watching Manifest for the same reason that I got tired of watching Lost. After a while, the basic premise does begin to seem silly, and the plot line no longer makes sense.
In fact, Manifest is basically Lost, if the lost plane had landed five years later without explanation.

Criminal Minds: Evolution on Paramount Plus. It's pretty good!!

I never saw Band of Brothers back in the day, because I stopped paying for HBO, Showtime, and Starz many many years ago. But I do have Netflix, and BoB is available now. Watched all ten episodes this week. It’s been called one of the most realistic war films ever. Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg were the executive producers. Highly recommended.
Ron Livingston from Office Space is in it. LOL. He doesn’t kill the fax machine in this one.

It was on public TV in the UK a while ago. Great series.

Captain Nixon was particularly fond of Vat 69, a blended Scotch whisky produced by Diageo in Scotland. Reports are that sales of Vat 69 skyrocketed in the US as a result. Reviews say it has upfront malty, heather sweetness, and a lovely peat smoke savoury finish. May have to try some.
-
VAT 69 was popular when I was young and didn't like whisky, also long before I was introduced to the superiority of single malts. Can't say I have seen it around recently.

Welp, it's next week and I just got back from the movie.
F*@& was it long! It could have been summed up in 1:30. It moved excruciatingly slow. They talked so slow (1920 Oklahomans). And some of the scenes with no dialogue.
It's a movie that needs to be told, and I was looking forward to learning about the story. But my god, don't bore the sh*t out of me in the telling of it over 3 hours and 30 minutes.

We were listening to some light jazz with dinner last night. A female vocalist sang a very nice jazzy version of "Misty".
That reminded me of the movie, "Play Misty For Me". That was the first movie directed by Clint Eastwood. After dinner we found the movie on Prime.
It was quite enjoyable still. Several scary moments and suspense. Needed to.fluft up the edge of my seat this morning.
As a former DJ, it was always a bit unnerving when the phone rang late at night.

Two shows. Good Omens season 2 on prime. Taking me a little bit to get into it, however, I have to say that Jonathan Hamm, has a good butt.

After handing out candy, I came in the house and was chilled to the bone. I had planned for this though. My pajamas had already dried in the dryer. But I didn't take them out. Coming in the house I ran the dryer for 10 more minutes. Shorts, t-shirt, flannel long leg and long sleeve. My big fluffy house socks. I sat on the couch with my heavy blanket over me. I watched 2 shows of Arrested Development. S1 E1-E2. We had never watched it before. And somewhere in the middle of E2 I fell asleep. Woke up to the TV being off and another blanket over me. Dan assumed I was still sleeping on the couch because he's still coughing. He was right. I fell back to sleep and slept 10 hours. 10 HOURS! 10pm-8am. So why do I have a mini headache?

No Hatd Feelings on Netflix.
My friends had seen it, and said it was really funny so I decided to give it a go.
It's about a woman, played by Jennifer Lawrence, who is struggling to keep her home and loses her car, and she's an uber driver so she needs a car to keep her house. Coincidentally there is mother and father who are concerned for their 19 year old son who is an extreme introvert but is leaving for college. They offer a car for anyone who can "date" him and give him experiences.
The "man-eater" after the shy virgin. Quite a bit of slapstick comedy but it is rather funny if not slighlty predictable. What wasnt predictable, and what I think most of you may enjoy was a stark naked Jennifer Lawrence on a beach beating up three punks. It is dark so you're not gonna see all her bits and pieces, but you see much more than I'd ever expect.

We just came from $5 Tuesdays and free popcorn at our theatre.
Priscilla
About the life of Priscilla Presley from the time she met him, to the time she left him. Oh my! The movie does not shed Elvis in a good light. I walked away sad for Priscilla, and not a good taste in my mouth for Elvis.
The movie was good, but not the type of movie you walk out of with a smile on your face. My mind is still a bit shaken by the movie. The first half was just creepy, icky because of the age difference..
Movie: 4 stars out of 5
Popcorn: 5 out of 5
Frozen Coke: 5 out of 5, consistency was spot on. Disappointed I only got a small. But I refilled on the way out.

It's a show I remember seeing Shannon's dad watching many many moons ago. It's called "the Red Green show", and Allan has been playing it off prime ever since he saw it was there. He and his dad used to watch it all the time.

It's an action comedy 8 episode series. Might have a second season.
An elite American special force team thwarts a nuclear bomd threat in Las Vegas. After the victory, they celebrate hard. Drugs, alcohol, sex (plenty of nudity with some nice male full frontal), more drugs and then more drugs. They all get completely wasted and then find out, there is another bomb.
All eight episodes happen during a 24 hour period where most of them are trying to deal with being extremely high.
Gonna watch it again with Allan. He'll enjoy it for sure.
-
We've watched the first couple episodes. Laughed ass off. It's a crazy spoof that includes the nudity Shiela refered to.
All the laughing was hard on this old man. Fell asleep at the start of the third episode. :facepalm:
It's a funny diversion.
-
I binge watched Obliterated last night. Some of the most disturbing images ever committed to film since 2 Girls, 1 Cup.
My eyes needed bleaching afterwards.
It had its moments, but I want those 4 hours back. LOL.
-
I will agree that the EOD guy, and the fountain scene could have been left out. 💩🤢🤮
-
We've watched the first three episodes so far. Guess we're not at the fountain scene yet. No I don't know if we should go on if Toe and Shiela got grossed out.
-
I think PH has more issue with what happens to Trunk, the big black guy in the later episodes when he got captured.
-
No one really “did it” for me, except (surprise) the Russian, Lana . I thought “Tech Girl” Maya had a nice Velma vibe. I would have rather seen Chad fuck the shit out of her than Ava. I bet she would have been a noisy, rude, sweaty fuck. She was so horny for him.
-
I’m embarrassed to admit that I had never seen “Once Upon a Time in America“, but I hadn’t, until last night. Absolutely loved it. Not only does it have an incredible storyline, but it also features the beauty of Elizabeth McGovern, and Jennifer Connelly. Oh, and DeNiro, Woods, and Pesci. Just fabulous. Released in 1984.
-
Had Christmas today. Both wife's son and my daughter have plans for tomorrow.
We had good dinner and our traditional Christmas movie. Nothing brightens the holidays like "Die Hard". No matter how many times we see it it's so much fun.
And yes...it is a Christmas movie. ;D

Bradley Cooper’s “Maestro” on Netflix. The complicated life and artistry of Leonard Bernstein.
You must see this. Cooper will be nominated for an Oscar. Don’t know if he can beat Cillian Murphy in “Oppenheimer,” but he should. The piece is amazing. So many layers. The art. The relationships. Struggling with bi-sexuality in the Cold War Era.
The pinnacle moment of the movie sees Cooper as Bernstein, conducting the London Symphony Orchestra in Mahler's euphoric Symphony No.2 in Ely Cathedral – a moment that took over six years of preparation, to film in a single take.
It’s Cooper’s pìece de resístance. Restored my faith in American cinema.

Same here but do watch a movie yesterday that had Coach Eric in it, called Infinity Pool. Sucked
-
I didnt even know that much football could air in a day, but then it's college, and there are more than a couple of those out there.
Tried watching Asteroid City on prime. Allan's a Johansson fan so we figured we'd give it a shot. Movie made no friggin sense at all.
-
John wick is on Netflix. I told allam we cam watch it but he needs to skip past the part with the puppy. He failed to do so, so I drove home crying and now I'm watching Christmas movies. Christmas chronicles to be exact.
I still think Kurt Russell makes santa sexy!
-

Dan keeps saying he wants to watch it, I tell him I'm up for it. We never have watched it. None of them. Maybe we'll get on that soon. Looking for something to watch.

American Nightmare, a three episode documentary on Netflix that parallels the movie, Gone Girl, except the Vallejo, CA police department tried to railroad a young couple of faking the girl's disappearance. It wasn't until a woman police officer in another town doggedly pursued the case that the true crime and criminal was revealed . Listening to her explain what she did was worth watching the documentary.

"Mr Bates v The Post Office"
Don't expect that many outside the UK will have heard of it, it dramatises a 20 year fight to overturn what is now considered to be the greatest miscarriage of justice in UK judicial history.

I was looking for an old erotic movie called Lake Consequences with Joan Severance on Netflix. No luck.

Ended up watching a bunch of old 80’s and 90’s erotic movies. She was sooooooo hot back in the day!
-
I watched Stepbrothers again last night. For the 40th time. But the Fucking Catalina Wine Mixer has something in it for me every time. “Boats ‘n Ho’s!” LOL.

Just rewatched "El Camino" the closing chapter of "Breaking Bad". Really loved how they wrapped up Jessie's story. They did their best to turn back the clock on the actors with make-up but you can tell how they'd aged since "Breaking Bad" wrapped up.
My daughter has been watching "Breaking Bad" on DVD and just finished the series. So, after breakfast out, she came over and watched the movie with us. She hadn't heard that the movie "El Camino" existed. It was a treat to be able to show it to her. The old man is still good for something. :D

Joan? What about Billy Zane. I can't recall the names of them, but there were a few of his movies that I played the piano to.

Billy was in Lake Consequence. He did a lot of steamy stuff before his breakthrough role in Titantic.

The 2020 version of "The Invisible Man" starring Elizabeth Moss. Surprisingly good. The first two thirds were very suspenseful but then it got a bit flash-bang-wallop.
On refelection I'm not sure I have ever seen the 1930 original, though have read the book. I well remember the 1958 UK TV series where the invisible man was turned into more of a hero character than the villian of the original.
-
The Diplomat with Kerri Russell. Love her. Loved the show. Can't wait for season 2.
-
There is a season 2 coming. I just loved Keri in "The Americans". She's quite the talent.
-
Watched " Castle" last night. Not seen it before , enjoyed it.
Rob has the hots for Molly Quinn ! That's ok as long as I can go first with her ! She is gorgeous
Might have to go to the hairdressers for a colour change ,haha.

I bought Two Days in the Valley on my Prime account yesterday. Best Charlize Theron, Teri Hatcher, and Jimmy Spader movie ever made.

Saltburn!
Depraved and confusing is just a couple words I would use to describe it...
Is he gay? Is he not? Hes obsessed with this guy, but then he has sex with this women, and then he drinks bathwater with this other guys semen in it...
I have no idea, but I know I wont be watching that again.

"The Holdovers" - Lovely, both sad and funny. Quote "life is like a hen house ladder - shitty and short"

Just watched The Bachelor. . Haven't watched it in forever, but M had it on last week while I was reading my Kindle. It got me. Im hooked.
Episode 2 and I'm making my prediction now: Daisy Kent. She is such a sweetheart.
And oh my gosh, are there some bitches on there this season.
-
My friends and I used to watch that. We talked about going on the show, just to be entertaining. No intention of leaving with the guy, but just be one of those drama characters.
I said I'd go on, and on certain days, I'd be an absolute bitch, and then the next day be a total sweetheart!🤣

The Greatest Night in Pop, on Netflix. About taking the top 50 American recording artists of 1985 and having them stay through the night in a recording studio to produce the hit song, We Are the World. Quincy Jones had to deal with 50 egos and had only one shot at making this recording a success. The entire movie was actual footage shot that night.

We plan to watch that. Thank you for the reminder, Rick.
We finished watching Reacher season 2. Dan's show, not mine. I survived watching it. Bad acting (buy main character mainly). Lots of action. Overdone fight scenes. Enough holes in the plot you can drive a bus through.
As a couple, we have to be able to tolerate our SO's interest in shows, right?
Well, why isn't he watching The Bachelor with me then.

Currently watching The Grammy's
Miley gets the first award, best solo.
-
With her record-breaking 4th best album win, Taylor Swift surpassed Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, and Paul Simon — the only other artists to have won the award three times. Pretty impressive. Not a fan, but she’s in pretty stellar company now.
-
Lol, Miley forgot her undies. What I love about her
-

I didn't watch the Grammys, but after reading your post, I went to check out what she was wearing.
In google, I typed "Miley C..." and at that point, "Miley Cyrus Grammys 2024" popped up, and there she was.
One review says she looked like "a half-naked gladiator."
If that's what gladiators look like, I'm heading off the to the Colosseum right now!

Shortly after winning her first-ever Grammy for the No. 1 hit, the 31-year-old performed the smash single for the first time on a live broadcast.
As Cyrus began the song, she looked to her left and right and motioned for the audience to stand up as she crooned the first lyrics of the song.
As the song built, so did Cyrus' apparent confusion over the crowd's reaction to the set.
"Why are you acting like you don't know this song?" Cyrus said to those in attendance, holding her hand up between the song's first chorus.

My first thought was I wanted to be there... with a powerful magnet. ;D

F'n Miley is built. OMG. She rocked it. Loved her on the Red Carpet. Loved her acceptance speech. Loved her performance.
And Taylor, she's my girl! So amazed by her.
I felt squimish with the promoting/announcement of her newest album. I guess that's the place to do it though with so many watching. So proud of her for album of the year. I lover her music, love her talent. The freaking talent she has just blows me away. I know not every one is a fan, but I am. And have been since day one.
-
I believe I have some sort of subconscious crush on Miley. I love that she is a pitbull advocate, and I really do love her music. I will sing Party in The USA at the top of my lungs. Although I have never really looked at her and been physically attracted to her, she has appeared in an unusual amount of dreams, and several of those, she was completely naked. No they were not sex dreams, but it is a bit confusing. I've brought it up to my therapist every time it has happened.
-
I watched Taylor Swift: Dare to Dream, a documentary, last night. She really is something else. Had her parents drive her to Nashville (from Pennsylvania) when she was 11 years old, to knock on producers’ doors and pass out her demo tapes. Respect.
-
Blazing Saddles. Released February 7, 1974. 50 years ago today. It’s twue! It’s twue!

Finished watching the first season of Jamestown.
then started watching Sophia Vergara in Griselda. 2 episodes into that.
Over the weekend we watched "Strays". animated with Will Ferrell, Jamie Foxx, Sophia Vergara, Will Forte. It's funny. Could have done without the over abundance of swearing. But I was LOLing from the beginning.
-
Speaking of "an over abundance of swearing," I'm three episodes in to the new season of True Detective.
It's set in extreme northern Alaska, inside the Arctic Circle, and it begins on the last day of the year with daylight, a two-month period every year where the sun never appears above the horizon, and it is dark for 24 hours every day.
This, along with an exploration of Native American culture and the seeming appearance of a ghost, adds an air of eeriness to the proceedings. It begins with the mysterious disappearance of a group of scientists from around the world working in a scientific lab, and proceeds from there.
While I find the series very interesting, the superabundance of swearing -- every character frequently uses a variation of the word "fuck," and Jodie Foster's character uses it in virtually every sentence -- makes watching it very annoying.
-
I wonder what Sarah would fucking say about this!
-
Fury. And then the other night Fury....
Last night Fury.... it has been on Prime since Feb first, and it is all Allan wants to watch. Granted after it is over we have some fantastic sex, but I'm kinda getting tired of the movie, and his "best job I ever had" joke after his orgasm.🙄
-
Just finished all four seasons of "Black Sails". I love pirate movies and this series was well done. That is for the action and adventure. OK...there was lots of nudity, but that's neither here nor there.
As far as historical accuracy, meh. Yeah the violence and sea battles looked realistic and that was part of the brutality of the pirate life. The unrealistic parts were the sailors never would have looked so healthy nor the women so beautiful but that's show biz.
The series is designed to be a prequel to RLS's "Treasure Island". For effect they threw in real pirate named characters. Names like Edward Teach (Blackbeard), Charles Vane, Jack Rackham, and my favorite, Anne Bonny, one of the few woman pirates.
I found the shows entertaining and at the same time had fun looking up the actual history of some of the real pirates portrayed.
And yes Jules... there's lots of swearing. Sorry...arrrrgh!
-
So many movies have so much swearing. It's fine once in a while, but it takes away from it when there is too much. And when did it become normal to say 'balls'. Whether it's 'kicked in the balls', or 'grow some balls'. I hear it all the time now.
I'm not a swearer. I don't like swearing, (unless its during sex, then it drives me crazy in a good way). I will give you a look if in a restaurant or public and you are openly using the f word, or shit, or worse - which happened the other day - a high school boy said to a friend that his girlfriend is being a cunt. Oh, the look I gave that kid. I didn't need to use words. At least he apologized when he knew I was upset. 'sorry ma'am'.
I swear when I'm angry, like really wanting to make a point. Dan and the girls were swearers when we met. I put the kibosh on that.
Have I mentioned American Fiction? If not, it was a good movie. It's worth it to pay to see it at the movies. Or, wait for it to come to streaming. It won't win any awards, but it was entertaining. Oh, and the swearing was to a minimum. Though, he did write a book and called it "Fuck!"
-

I kid you not the day after I read this, I watched a show called Tacoma FD on prime, and there was an entire scene where it was "you've got no balls" and things like that. There was even an entire episode about one of the guys losing a testicle.

I agree, Jules. We will turn a movie or program off if the first five minutes is filled with the F bomb. Bad enough we hear it in public by persons of all ages. And you are right again - the one time the F bomb sounds good is in the bedroom, after some fun foreplay. 8)

First episode of a show called Ted, streaming on Peacock. Presumably based on the movie where Ted is a stuffed bear come to life.
MJ... you don't want to watch this.
Less than five minutes into the show I had lost track of all the f**ks and s**ts used by every character (except the mom/aunt).
Ted had a bet with the high school kid that he could make the mom/aunt swear. He didn't win the bet, at least not in this episode.
-
We finished all forty episodes of The Man in the High Castle, playing on Amazon Prime. Interesting concept but too drawn out. Also, some characters were time travelers, others weren't. Initially made for some confusion.

Don't even mention :-
A character finger fucking a woman on her menstrual period and then putting his bloodied fingers in her mouth then performing cunnilingus on her.
The same character using a freshly dug grave as a masturbatory aid.
It could be regarded as a perverted version of "Brideshead Revisited", it even references Evelyn Waugh and teddy bears, or "The Talented Mr. Ripley". I'm very surprised Mrs Obi recommended I watch it.
Sheldon Cooper type factoid: the film is framed in the old fashioned TV aspect ratio of 4:3 in order to give the viewer the impression of being a Peeping Tom. It may work in the cinema but all it did for me was make me wonder why my TV had switched itself to that ratio. Good job I didn't waste time investigating.

The Holdovers, streaming on Peacock. Starring Paul Giametti. Takes place at a boarding school near Boston in 1970. If you enjoy movies that have little or no special effects and is well acted, the Holdovers is a movie to see.

Last night we started watching "Red Queen" on Amazon Prime. It's a seven episode series based on the book Juan Gómez-Jurado. He's Spanish author and the series is set in Spain.
A soon to be fired policeman is offered a chance to save his job. All he needs to do is convince who is termed the smartest woman in the world to help solve the murder of a teenager from a very wealthy family.
Being the smartest comes with lots of quirks yet some how the disgraced cop gets her to agree to help. Our Red Queen can see what others miss and make instant connections.
Before they get too deep into the murder investigation, the daughter of a wealthy woman is kidnapped. Our girl immediately connects to two seemingly unrelated crimes and the race against time begins.
I am so pleased after watching the first three episodes how well they follow the book. It is a Spanish production and the English is dubbed in but they do such a good job it's hardly noticeable.
BTW... The second book of the series will be released next week, "Black Wolf".

Saw Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.
Went with Allan, his brother Joe, and girlfriend Zoe.
I can honestly say, that I really enjoyed it. There was enough nostalgia to make you happy to see the Easter eggs, but not so much that it became campy. It was good to see the original characters play former roles without being the forefront.
The actual talking with a ghost seemed a little different and not what is normal for a Ghostbusters movie, but if Rick Moranis can talk to a bus driving slimer, well then why not Phoebe talking with a ghost.
Oh, and speaking of slimer, he gotta booty for days LoL👻🤣
Overall, I loved this movie, and I will make it a part of my Halloween movie must watch collection.
I dont know how to do a MJ movie breakdown scoreboard. But I dont eat popcorn, but the pretzels were on point, the theater was not very crowded, and they severe beer at the theater, so me sneaking in some small bottle of whiskey (JD Honey) to pour into my soda didnt seem so wrong. I guess I'd give my movie night a solid 6.7 out of 8.4....

Just finished "Ripley" on Netflix. A new version of "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and much much better than the Matt Damon film. Shot in black and white for increased atmosphere/tension and 8 episodes allowed it to be much closer to the book than the film was. Hope they do the other two Ripley books in the same vein.
