We are sort of bingeing on Season 4, over several nights. I swear it’s one of the best sf shows to come along. It just seems so real, despite everything (including the CGI which must have required an army of talented graphics people). Somehow even Bab 5 didn’t seem this real.
And having read the novels as they come out, it’s so neat to anticipate key plot points!
I had been looking forward to towing a ship with a rail gun being on tv for a while now.
Jesus returns to Earth quoting the Qur’an on the steps of the Temple Mount
Various authorities are not happy about this
Huh, that actually makes this show sound interesting.
I watched this last night:
It’s Mike Leigh, so don’t expect subtlety, fast-paced action or happy endings. And it’s all done in the accents and vocabulary appropriate for the time and place, so some folks might want to put the subtitles on.
OTOH, if you want to get yourself worked up into a lather of righteous class-war rage, it’s quite effective.
We watched The Intern last night. It was a fun movie. Anne Hathaway plays the head of a fashion startup, and Robert DeNiro plays her senior-citizen intern. I was prepared not to like it, but it was quite fun. Also has Renee Russo, who steals scenes as the office masseuse/love interest.
Rewatching Dirk Gently. S1 is even more nonlinear than I remember.
What are you thinking so far? Any good?
Just started the 9th season of Walking Dead… can’t wait to see the appearance of the Whisperers…
Watching this on Netflix:
Complicated plot about gang rivalry and divided loyalties. I’ve watched the first three episodes and so far it’s really well done. There’s violence, with potential for a lot more, especially after the cliffhanger ending of Episode 3.
Seriously loving the new season of Mrs. Maisel, y’all.
So I had been only tangentially aware of Ernie Kovaks as a comedian until listening to the current Gilbert Gottfried Amazing Colossal Podcast today.
He was an interesting guy and way ahead of his time. Definitely an influence on shows to come later like Monty Python.
The Nairobi Trio are an indelible part of my childhood, but I do wonder about the casual racism.
Never smoked a cigar in my life but now I have a hankering for a Dutch Masters Dart.
They call it the Slant Six!
Okay… on season 9 of the Walking Dead episode 5, did they really just “kill” off Rick, but did not kill him off? It seems like they jump ahead without Rick so maybe that’s what the movie is going to be about…
Just watched AJ & the Queen.
Not stellar by any means, but it gave me a good drag queen fix; RU looks great, and Michael-Leon Wooley is just fabulous…
The hotel I’m I. This week has HBO2Go in the room. Gotta binge Watchmen in under 5 days of evenings only.
Can. I. Do. It?
i think you can do it!
It’s 9 episodes, so 9 hours. Watch at least 2 a night, and you’re golden.
