Just saw JoJo Rabbit. Good film, very different not unlike Inglorious Bast*rds etc. I enjoyed it.

Just started Jack Ryan season 2 after binge watching season 1, quite enjoyed season 1, couple of episodes into season 2 and feeling like de ja vu, almost like rehashing the films, there is a clear and present danger to the show as far as I can see … so far

It was good and well worth watching again at some point.


If you watch Jaws backwards, it's a heart warming story about a shark that spits out so many people that they have to open a beach.

The trailer for JoJo Rabbit definitely gave me a Wes Anderson feel. I'll watch it when it comes out on Netflix.

I thought Jo Jo Rabbit was pretty good. Different. There were a number of, "I didn't expect THAT to happen," moments.
I watched 'Ford vs Ferrarri,' last night. Thought it was excellant. The racing scenes had me on the edge of my seat.

At least you are going the much cheaper route. Imagine how much more money you would be spending if you saw all of your movies in the theater!

We do have cable. It's bundled with the internet.

I was about 40 minutes into Parasite and gave up. Maybe I was tired,or I was expecting something else from a movie called 'Parasite'.

I'll try to finish it some time I guess.

I saw "Raging Bull" about 10 years ago and I really liked it even though the boxing genre isn't really my thing.

40 minutes? You haven't scratched the surface. The movie is still setting up the characters and backstory.

Caught a movie called,"Speed and Angles". Very good documentary about a couple navy aviators training to be F-14 drivers and a real look at what the Top Gun program operates, even though the movie was toss around.

From last night, Parasite winning Best Picture.

The producer (the lady speaking in front of the mic) and director who is also the producer (the gentleman on the left, holding a Best Director Oscar he won earlier in the ceremony) brought everyone with them.

I don't think I'd ever seen that many folks on the stage at same time during a Oscar acceptance speech.

1917.

The first 1.07 was good, then meh thereafter.

It would have been better with another 25 minutes or so of eerie wasteland tension, then more of a battle sequence near the end.

I'm about to finish Dexter tonight, and need another series to watch. I doubt there's anything else as strong as Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, or Dexter, but I'm hopeful? Any suggestions?

Cross these off the list:
Vikings - bad writing post season 4.5
Shameless - I saw this "because"
Twelve Monkeys - fantastic show but finished
The Expanse - incredible
Better Call Saul - so much missed potential
True Blood - wonderful characters, hit and miss seasons
Babylon 5 - timeless masterpiece
Westworld - season one was good but season two was a dumpster fire
Black Sails - biggest social justice con job in history
Deadwood - strong first two seasons but the third fell on its face
Battlestar Galactica - great show

If you can tell, I'm looking for serials with continuous plots. High quality is preferred. I know of a few such as Stranger Things that I need to watch, but I'd prefer a series that is mostly complete with 40 episodes minimum to watch.

Everyone has very different interests and tastes of course but I would recommend these:


Rome - Less than 40 episodes but a must-watch for any avid student of Roman history.

Battlestar Galactica (2003 reboot) - If you like the "Expanse" I can guarantee you will like this.

Altered Carbon - If you like Blade Runner and the cyberpunk genre in general then you shouldn't miss this. Season 2 starts later this month.
