Preacher looks promising
Great ! your Shows worth Watching.The current Season of Walking mumy is very intense!
Game of Thrones, House of cards and Orange is the new black
Preacher is shaping up to be a good show.
I agree. Slowish, bit of an awkward start, but it could go someplace interesting now.Quote:

Vice Principals
Game of Thrones
The Expanse
The Orville
I tried watching The Orville but it was so bad I felt compelled to make my TV go sit in the corner as punishment.
If you are not used to Family Guy, American Dad etc then I can see how you would think that. It is the same type humour but projected onto a ST:TNG setting.Quote:

Why would one tv show require an unrelated show as a prerequisite??? Is that because the humor and sophistication level of any of those you mentioned is so utterly brilliant and cutting edge that one simply cannot comprehend the material without being nursed up to that level?Quote:

I dunno, I would have enjoyed Wonder Woman a lot less save for all the lesbian porn I've watched.
Bring on the VR lesbian porn!!! :w00t:
Strip the Cosmos
This series reveals worlds never seen before; stunning CGI animation peels back the layers, revealing alien landscapes of fragile lava caves, roiling plasma seas, cosmic platinum mines, and the hungry black hole at the center of our galaxy – cosmological wonders that play a surprising role defining our place in the universe.
One could hardly guess you are copy and pasting that, dion :yup:Quote:

I don't deny it. A small description of the series it is always welcomed.Quote:

Clearly BTN isn't above plagiarism.
Btw I was mightily disappointed in how the Discovery Channel resorted to tricking people into thinking this would involve nudity and not just a lot of wank science shit.
OK to be fair there was a bit on Uranus.
Game of Thrones
Mr. Robot
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Halt and Catch Fire
The first 2 seasons of Halt and Catch Fire were good, after that it sort of lost its way and tried to cover a variety of computer developments.Quote:

I watch so much stuff,i loved deadwood and stranger things.only got into them a few months ago.even though deadwood is quite old now.
For the first time, I'm looking at a spanish show, La Case de Papel. Very intense ! Didn't see the end yet...
I'm also into Game of Thrones. Also liked 13 Reasons Why. I heard about La Case de Papel, Stranger Things and the Handmaid's Tale a lot...if I find the time, I will watch them.

Have not seen yet: I, Tonya, Phantom Thread
Seen, but can fuck off: :Lady Bird (teen angst and self pity countered by quirky shit-- watched 30 minutes before vomiting on my remote), Three Billboards (suffered through whole thing hoping for something worthy of my attention-- not at all)
Personally, i'd give special effects awards. Blade Runner was a very well done sequel as were Jedi, Logan, and Guardians 2. Ferdinand I *loved*... Still award worthy??? IDK. On the benchmark of "Would I purchase any of these to have forever?" All but Ferdinand fall short.

Big party tonight betting and such. Thank YOU! :) :alien:
You know Idol? You never fail to make me smile or laugh... (especially when you point that razor sharp wit at Meg) ...but as it has been over these years... I know you just love the guy. ;)Quote:

The Best Picture Oscar isn't voted on like the other categories. For Best Picture people give first, second and third choices and the winner is determined by aggregate score. Therefore something like Get Out will probably benefit more from that than a more artistically brave(ie divisive) movie would.
Also in Hollywood you can never underestimate the desire to appear politically correct.
Btw I don't care how much Meg praises it. I refuse to see Ferdinand as I've never like ABBA.
Actually of all the movies mentioned I've only seen Guardians and the fight scenes from Logan that were on a YouTube video.:blushing: I hear that Willem Dafoe killed it in The Florida Project though, whatever that means.

"Get Out" got its nod, but haven't watched Willem Dafoe who you say killed it in "The Florida Project" or "I,Tonya"... never liked her.
"Lady Bird" was good too. ;)
Seriously??? You liked Lady Bird? Saoirse is always a good actress, but I found the tone of the show unbearable.
I, Florida and Tonya Project are my next watches...
As Meg's favourite pickup line is apparently "Hey, sailor. I certainly like the cut of your jib" I wouldn't be too concerned if you and he don't see eye to eye on everything, Stehle.
Says they guy who just starts working on anything stuck through the hole in the bathroom stall...Quote:
