What are you watching?
When Barliman and I were kids, there was "Family Theater" on TV. Odd choice of name, as they showed Horror and Sci-fi. Another oddity was the time-slot: 6PM Saturday nights. That was the only occasion our Mom allowed us to bring the TV into the kitchen so we could watch while we ate supper.

The only problem was, at that time, our Dad had volunteered to do janitor service at our church-- which meant the rest of us were "volunteered" to help. Our job was to clean the Sunday School rooms. In the basement. So, stuffed with hot dogs, and having just watched monsters on the rampage, we crept down into the pitch darkness, scrabbling to flip every light switch before, before . . .

This was one of the more memorable ones:

Yesterday I watched the filmed version of the play "Fleabag". Here's a link to download it (it's very difficult to find). Very much like the well-known series but different somehow. Very interesting.

About halfway through season 2 of The Witcher, rather enjoying it. Gonna have to binge watch The Sandman this weekend

I finished The Sandman yesterday! I'm not enthusiastic about it but didn't think it was bad either. There were some things that didn't quite make sense and the pacing of this 1st season is very odd. I also found it hard to find any character I could sympathize with (even though Dream grew on my by the end of the season).

All in all it's really not a bad show and quite entertaining (the visuals are pretty amazing)! I'm quite looking forward to a 2nd season!


EDIT: Ow, scrap that. I'm kind of in love with it, I admit it... 🙈

It was an interesting surprise Sandman episode this week.

I'm watching the last episodes of Animal Kingdom as they come out, and dropped Paramount+ because I was having a hard time getting into Star Trek Strange New Worlds, and instead picked up Binge to watch Reservation Dogs and the five seasons of The Mayans.
 
Going to watch House of Dragon tonight as it aira.

I finished Evil on Paramount+ and it was really good, looking forward to the next season.
 
Just watched a 2-hour documentary from 2012 about, and with commentary by, The Rolling Stones. Lots of early footage still with Brian Jones, then the Mick Taylor years and their stay in southern France, followed by Ronnie Wood joining them, about up to Keith Richards's bust in Canada in 1977 that finally made him kick his heroin addiction. Some really good stuff to be seen.
 
I've been watching this series on YouTube about the Backrooms. The kid who's making it is only 17 and has done an amazing job on it!
 

Pretty intense. Having been married to someone who had family in the Jordon Valley in the Idaho/Oregon/Nevada area, the people are this creepy. Sadly, the whole LDS cult thinking seems to be similar to some evangelistic thinking of some of my family these days.
