What are you watching?

My lovely wife Elora bought me an Oppo Blu-Ray player a number of years ago now. It was pre-hacked to play all regions as I have a lot of U.S DVDs. It does a wonderful job of 'upscaling' older DVDs.

What I'm watching now is a very strange show called Legion. It's been out since 2016 but just recently found it on Netflix. Three seasons worth!

Didn't saw that, but my girlfriend did and she also likes it.

You may find interesting Doom patrol.

It is just…weird. Some good acting.

Rewatchd one of my favorite comedies from growing up. Still hilarious 😁

Yup. Fans are still arguing about how much CGI was necessary for this film, and what Jim Carrey was able to do with his famously rubbery face ... 😁

I am currently interested in the YOUNG SHELDON series.

I also enjoyed DON'T LOOK UP

I enjoy watching Cameron Diaz in this.

Recently watched a rather sad movie about a rather sad event. It is called 'The Bombardment'. It's a Danish film about an RAF raid to take out the SS Gestapo headquarters in Copenhagen. Really well done I thought.

I just watched Molly’s Game recently. It’s about Molly Bloom. She was a skier who tried out for the Olympics but got injured in the trials. So she started doing underground poker games and made millions, really a good movie.

I wondered what happened to her, after Ulysses! 😀

This woman is having entirely too much fun.

Some comical youtube vids trashing Rings of Power because it isn't following exactly how these individuals think it all should be like. Too funny!

I've started the final season of Better Call Saul. Finally something good on Netflix again.
When it comes to storytelling, direction and the right mix of action, atmosphere and drama - and also authenticity or immersion - BCS and especially Breaking Bad are still the benchmark (even if some of it is certainly overdone to satisfy comedy fans as well).

It's really sad how much worse current fantasy series like "The Witcher" or "The Wheel of Time" are in comparison.
And I say that as someone who was originally interested almost only in fantasy and sci-fi, but not in any series about Mexican drug dealers (or even lawyers). But that's the best proof that the subject doesn't really matter that much. Even if you may be very inclined to the topic, a series/movie adaptation can be extremely bad and vice versa...

I guess you might already know...but...

I'm just watching random fan-made Silmarillion trailers and films

 

[Erestor Arcamen]

Started Shining Girls on Apple TV+ last night, not bad so far. My wife read the book and said it's a good thriller so I'm looking forward to bingeing.

My brother convinced me to try watching Marvel, a month or two ago, and now I'm at Avengers: Endgame. I never expected anything from these movies, but they are surprisingly good. Maybe y'all old and experienced people find them "immature" or something, but I enjoyed them.

Maybe because they're made for people around my age.

 

[Starbrow]

I enjoy the Marvel movies and TV shows. Some are better than others.

 

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

This is about to be broadcast on my local PBS station.

I'll be watching! 😃

"Yeralash" ("Ералаш") is a Soviet and later Russian children's comedy TV show. Yeralash also runs an actor studio and the "Yeralash Island" camp. The word eralash means "mixed, mishmash" or "jumble" and is taken from the Turkic languages.

Alice turned me on to this:

There was an English-dubbed version, "Kikoriki", but in comparing a couple of episodes, I prefer the Russian songs over the English ones -- quite different.

Also this one, of course! 😄
