Whatcha Watchin'?

Finally got around to seeing this LOONG video,

I typically leave Comet TV on all day for background noise, stopping to watch if something catches my eye. But today, they’re running a monster-movie-type marathon with not one, not two, but three spider movies.

I don’t like spiders. So I’ve clicked over to Decades and its ā€œRod White and Blueā€ Twilight Zone marathon instead. ā€œTo Serve Manā€ just started. Much more… appetizing. :rofl:

The Watchmen. It’s incredible and so timely. I love the complexity of the story.

The new series, or the older film?

Phase IV. Interesting film, but the soundtrack could be described as ā€œhostile to the viewerā€.

Ever out of touch with the present day, I’ve been going through Masters of Horror from way back in 2005. This one, Joe Dante’s Homecoming, is still an outstanding episode, and unfortunately, still timely:

Dead U.S. soldiers begin returning from the grave, all with a special mission. Black, black comedy. Extremely wry, but at its core incredibly sad.

There are better quality sources out there. I watched it via Hoopla.

Started Season 3 of Dark and feel like I need to go back and rewatch seasons 1 and 2.

This is not a show for background noise.

Leslie Jones’ special Time Machine on Netflix is hilarious.

Yep! She’s always funny. I love how she often pulls in the audience… I remember a previous concert where she went out into the audience and was basically yelling at people in their faces…

Finally got around to watching It’s a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood… so much to love about the movie. I especially adored the way they incorporated aspects of the show into their narrative, like having models of Pittsburgh and NYC that were like the models used on the show. Just lovely. And I loved the scene in the Chinese restaurant where all the other patrons were people who knew or worked with Mister Rogers, including Joanne Rogers. Or the lovely scene on the subway, where all the passengers are singing… :cry:

She does that in this most recent special as well.

Also, I watched the first season of Warrior Nun; it was much better than I expected.

Continuing my trend of being very late to the party, I’ve watched about half of the stage recording of Hamilton so far. Unfortunately the person I was watching with had worked an extremely long day before that and started falling asleep at that point, so I’m still waiting to finish that viewing up…

(I haven’t gone looking for much about it before this point because what little I’d heard has left me a bit lost without being able to actually see who’s singing)


It had some problems in the treatment of the main character, which have been gone over in any number of critiques I’ve seen of it, but I did like that one. Binged through the whole thing in one day. :wink:

I did notice some much more nitpicky problems as well… for instance, in a climactic scene:


(Almost centered full-screen in a lingering shot. Someone really should have caught that at some point…)

I know the source material has been considered problematic in the past…
