No Time to Die (2021)- Oh the hubris.
That's probably three Skylines too many.Quote:

The story begins (watch Robert Graves I Claudius) with an old Claudius in his study, just starting to write the 'strange' history of his family. Whilst he is writing he remembers a few years back when he heard the Sibyl's prophecy. She predicted he would get a position everybody but him wanted, that in 1900 years his history will be read and at long last Claudius will speak clearly. The story then returns to the old Claudius, who begins his family history with the rivalry between Marcus Agrippa and Marcellus.
I watched Numbers Station. Not bad, not really good; mindless enough to let me fall asleep as soon as it was over.
So far been watching all of the Apple TV Originals and gotta admit SEE is pretty interesting! TV shows recently being produces are far better than the past when TV channels were the only ones to produce them. Now you have the likes of Netflix, Amazon, Apple, Hulu, and etc creating far better shows.
squid games
Letterkenny
I'm downloading Dune. I hope it's good even though I think they really didn't cast it very well.

It's pretty good but I stand by my point that it would be a better movie minus the inclusion of Drax and Aquaman and plus an actual, you know, ending.
Pretty faithful to the book from what I can remember.
Watched it last night and it was a lot better than I expected and was pretty faithful to the book. Shame we have wait and see if they're will be a Part II.Quote:

I have to give a nod to Copshop. Not going to win any Oscars, but there's a black woman in it who outshines everyone you'd expect to carry the filum. If she sleeps with the right directors, she could be noteworthy.
Am I the only one disappointed that Squid Games didn't include a single squid? :unsure:
I haven't watched it. I assumed it was another Guy Ritchie gangster movie with over the top English accents. "Hey, mate. Three Finger Al wants that 500 squid you owes him".Quote:

Just watched the new Dune, its a good thing i read the book otherwise would have no idea what was going on
squid game - probably the best thing we will see this year, need to watch it again now that i know what happens for all the hidden stuff
Five Bedrooms
Australian show, even if it got co-opted as a "Peacock Original", two seasons. Wife approved, and entertaining enough that it will not cost you too much effort to score some brownie points.
By the synopsis, it sounds like Friends. Since it's the Peacock Network I suppose they weren't worried that they'd have to pay NBC royalties for theft of intellectual property.
I see that since it's 2020 something the Ross character is now ghey. Who could have predicted that?
Recently has been Doom Patrol, and believe it or not, I really enjoyed the move "Old"
Army of Thieves (2021) I wasn't expecting much and let's just say it delivered. :mellow:
Also I understand that they are trying to tie it into Army of the Dead for monetary reasons but "Army of Thieves" as a title makes literally no sense unless armies can consist of five people.
I found it poop. It is like a really bad version of the cube film. It was funny for the dubbing choice however (I`m not a sub-title purist).Quote:

The Lost Symbol seems to be interesting
Going back to the classics... Zorro -- Disney show from 1957. Watched the reruns on TV as a kid. Held up surprisingly well.
Now I feel stupid. I never realized Antonio Banderas was that old.Quote:

I'm watching Dopesick. A Hulu Original. My friend swore by it but it's fucking boring so far.
Southland
A very nice Cop Show. You should take a look at it.
so is it worth watching if you don't have the context of books?

Some will argue that with shows like Game of Thrones some knowledge of the books makes things less confusing, to which I say just give the filmmakers time and I'm sure that everything will make some sort of sense in the end.
I'm going to watch the first episode of Hawkeye tonight. It's about that guy in The Last of the Mohicans, right?
I know it can't be the other one because apparently Alan Alda has Parkinson's.
Still sitting on the fence in regards to "Mayor of Kingstown". Really has some potential for a decent cop/detective yarn, but some of those "social teachings" moments are just too heavy-handed...
Enjoying Ragdoll. It's a British cop drama hunt for a serial killer. Pretty gritty and the English accent and slang make me turn on the subtitles occasionally to figure out what they're saying but well worth the effort. Lucy Hale surprisingly good as the very competent "woke" American cop.
Watching that Get Back mini series, or whatever you call it, for The Beatles. 3 parts, all about 2 hour and 40 min a piece. With my underdeveloped mind it's hard to stay concentrated that long so I watch in smaller increments.
Anyways if you're a fan of The Beatles it's worth checking out. Definitely not if you're not.
watched Shang-Chi and The Legend Of The Ten Rings...
Some of the fight sequences were good... but the story not so much.
Watched the first two episodes of Season 2 of The Witcher. So far not feeling it.:no: It's sort of well-made nothing so basically Marvel.
Watching Shameless. The whole show should be just the hot girl, without clothes, jumping up and down.
Too often, shows think that they are something bigger than they actually are. Like this was ever some wry social commentary piece or anyone ever gave a fuck about any of the brothers.Quote:
