Yeah, me too. I haven't finished it yet, but almost there. It's gone in wacky directions which I've enjoyed as its unpredictable.

With Netflix nothing is ever guaranteed. 3.5 out of 5 stars for me.

Supposed to be working on Season 2 now. I liked it a little more than you as it was above what we get with the usual SF, ie....

I saw the newer one 2022. It's done well.

Yeah, 4th episode of Fallout never played the game. I was a little iffy on episode #1 as it felt a bit campy or comic book-y, but got hooked with episode #2. Now on epi. #4. Fun so far.

All Quiet on the Western Front Netflix, actually a really good one about some German friends entering WWI. Good cinematography, framing, and story.

Echoes by Pink Floyd

Parasyte: The Grey: Season 1 Netflix--I thought maybe I could get into this series based on a manga, but in the end could not. It didn't help in that it was Korean using Korean actors, I don't know I...

Talk to Me--Kanopy, When a group of friends discover how to conjure spirits using an embalmed hand, they become hooked on the new thrill, until one of them goes too far and unleashes terrifying...

Yeah, I'm a hoarder too to a certain degree. They have recycle places in many towns for stuff like that too, just saying.

Squaring the Circle (The Story of Hipgnosis) on Netflix, In 1968, art students Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey “Po” Powell made a trippy photo collage for their musician friends Syd, David and Roger....

Reptile Netflix crime drama, it was okay but slow, about average yet had its moments.

Yeah, it was fun wasn't it? I was just going to watch some of it, but watched the whole thing too, altho I may have nodded off some in the middle.

The Pledge 2001, Kanopy, A Jack Nicholson film I missed, an adaptation of a book directed by Sean Pean. Nicholson plays a police chief beginning retirement when a little girl is murdered and he...

The Killer--Netflix, David Fincher directs the film about an assassin and his code or lack of ethics/morality. There's was some underlying themes, but overall pretty decent for such fare. 6.5 out 10...

Started watching Three-Body Problem on Netflix. It flows a lot better and quicker than the Amazon, Chinese version. The first season/book is the set up for the second, book/series. It mostly is a...

That certainly one's right with anything, and I'd have to agree, do what's right for you. But then, what would you expect someone to say that is Chinese and raised in China and still living there? ...

I ususally stay away from spoilers (not that yours is), but in the case of the Three-Body Problem I made the exception due to it being as far flung and cerebral as it is, plus I'd not read the book...

Desperate Souls, Dark City and the Legend of Midnight Cowboy on Kanopy. A doc looking back at the classic film with some of the actors etc. I enjoyed it as it's still one of my fave films.

The Darkest Hour SF movie off Prime, just seemed like a dumb SF teen action film. Pass.

The Power from 1968 off Movieland app. I missed this one from that era, but it wasn't very good either. George Hamilton played the main role and other known actors from that time. I'd always seen...

I thought she did a good job. Everybody's different. Who did you like?

Da'Vine Joy Randolph
The Holdovers
America Ferrera
Barbie
Danielle Brooks
The Color Purple
Emily Blunt
Oppenheimer

Interesting review of William Gibson's Neuromancer.

The 'Burbs--old Tom Hanks movie with an interesting cast about a family next door that's similar to The Addams family in some ways. A rec from a friend, I'd never seen it. For the most part it was...

I don't know, but you'd think one theater in town would keep pictures a bit longer. During Dec. Jan. I looked for Oppenheimer and The Holdovers to see a film then. Would have been a perfect time,...

The Last Repair Shop free on YT won an Oscar for best short doc. Once commonplace in the United States, today Los Angeles is by far the largest and one of the last American cities to provide free and...

20 Days in Mariupol--won best Oscar for documentary. Free on YT. As the Russian invasion begins, a team of Ukrainian journalists trapped in the besieged city of Mariupol struggle to continue their...

Loudest bands in History

Pretty hilarious.

The reason football fans sing ‘Sweet Caroline’ in particular stems from the song becoming a victory anthem for a Boston baseball team who played it during a match in the 1990s for a colleague who had...

Yeah, I used to watch that off PBS and really enjoyed the wackiness of it. Miranda Hart and the cast worked well together.

I'd watch this occasionally, not a huge fan, however, I think it's the last season, irrc. At any rate I bet they could extend that into a manhood series if they wanted (Old Man Sheldon?). It seems...

Was expecting some cookie monster vocals, but so far, just music. Sort of folk-y.

The Oscars went pretty broad this year, and gave Oscars for a variety of movies, which was pretty good I thought. Overall a pretty good year for film. I thought Oppenheimer would win, but held out...

I forgot about The Holdovers (snap), I liked it better than Oppenheimer.

Monica by Daniel Clowes so good so far

Poor Things--on Hulu now. Sort of twisted fairly tale. Overall I enjoyed it, but Oppenheimer for best pic over it. There are still so many Oscar nominees I've yet to see, a better year than the past...

This guy does a really good job of all the Oscar picks.

Monsters by Barry Windsor-Smith

Borrowed the first season of The Sandman from the library. I think it is a bit stoic in presentation, and a bit dry, but I read the series of comics it came from so I know about how the story goes. ...

The Last Voyage of the Demeter horror, borrowed from library. I enjoyed it.

Miss Meadows on Amazon. Probably should have checked out the Rotten Tomatoes score first (around 30%). I didn't like it. Forgettable. A rather throw away quirky, dark comedy film starring Katie...

Good to know. :up

I watched half of this last night while recovering from a root canal. It's a doc on the early days of Sci Fi from the 50s.

I always thought Richard Lewis was pretty funny and entertaining. Here's an obit.

I watched the doc on Stanley Matthews, one of the world's greatest soccer players from England. I caught it off Peacock tho it's free with ads on YT. I thought it was pretty good even tho I'm not a...

Lamb I think I saw it off Amazon. One of the stranger ones I've seen in a while, and really not all that recommendable. I guess it's folk horror? fableist? It's too long for what plot it has. I...

Sir Roger Deakins Breaks Down His Most Iconic Films

I think it's showing over on Max. I might watch it when I sub that app again, though I read a review that said it's fairly mediocre however. Yes, Bradbury seems prescient.

I watched Fahrenheit 451 the original film from 1966. Adapted from the Ray Bradbury book, directed by François Truffaut. I'd seen it before some years back, so this was a re-watch. I thought it was...

Downsizing--Alexander Payne (The Holdovers, etc.) off Pluto. A social satire in which a man realizes he would have a better life if he were to shrink himself to five inches tall, allowing him to...

I liked The Lobster. I believe you can see it on Max, but I think I saw it off Tubi or one of the sites that has ads. I was in the right mood for it and so it didn't seem slow to me, sort of a mix...

Oppenheimer off Peacock. I'm come to the conclusion I'm just not a Nolan fan. I don't care for his nonlinear storytelling, and Oppenheimer does that too. It shows fifteen minutes at the beginning...

The Holdovers good film I enjoyed it. I saw it over on Peacock. After I watch Oppenheimer, I'll cancel the sub. They really don't have much to watch over there at all, but worth the sub for those...

Actually I see that as human nature to some degree. People want to know, only what they want to know.

I'd agree. There does seem to be a lot of strategy vs. luck, egos, deceit, egos, etc....

There's a incident in the first episode of The World at War, where Hitler had already won over the German people somewhat by restoring the ecomomy. This happens around the middle of the first...
