Whatcha watching?

[Gorn]

This one never occurred to me at the time but here's another bit of bad writing from the end of GOT.

"Leave the World Behind"

A slow burn that led to a very unsatisfying ending. I don't need for a movie to end with a nice, neat, pretty, perfectly tied-up bow, but this movie ended up being a waste of my time.

I’m watching a 6 hour long webinar for work.

so I’m watching the in-season Hard Knocks Dolphins

I like Hard Knocks, but it also seems to jinx the teams that it covers.

The ending didn't bother me...

It was obvious the family would find the daughter as they knew about the bunker from Kevin Bacon's character - and be well supplied.

The missus and I recently started watching Jane The Virgin based on a friend's recommendation. Starting with Season 1, Episode 1 and continuing chronologically

Holy crap are there a lot of episodes!!! 5 seasons and ~20 episodes each?!? This is gonna be a long slog.

Fortunately, it's been pretty entertaining. Lots of cute devices that mess with the 4th wall without breaking it, an entire meta-relationship with Latin telanovelas (it both parodies them and includes them & their casts in the story line), and some wonderful performances, especially from lead actress Gina Rodriguez.

The Black Hole.
Just as cool as I remember it as a child.

I saw that one in the theater when it came out. And we watched it recently and it still holds up.

We started "Good Omens 2" last week, and the first scene was hilarious. Here's hoping the premise holds up.

“Into The Woods”

A Polish working of a Harlan Coben novel

Netflix

apparently there’s 8 different books of his worked for Netflix. I have watched 3 …I’m guessing if you like 1 the others will be worth a bo peep

The Stranger was quite good and the one with the guy from 6 Feet Under

Ive just started the British one, Fool Me Once, on Netflix. Good so far. Safe is another British Harlen Coben series that was good.

I finished going through all of Frasier. Probably my fifth time through in full. I cried like a baby at the end. Then I watched the first episode of the new show. It's not bad at all. He's still got it. It sucks that Niles isn't there and John Mahoney is dead, but it's good. I don't think I've watched a new sitcom in 20 years, but it's funny.

It's the time of year in our house that we catch up on shows and watch the weather outside go from cold to stupid cold!
The Bear - really really like this show and have caught up to current offerings
Monarch- I've been a Godzilla fan since childhood watching those old b/w movies but this show is like watching grass grow! I would have dropped it but my wife likes it so I just sit there a cringe.
Letterkenny - this is the last season of a truly Canadian production that, well, if not Canadian, some of the humour may be lost. We love it!

Letterkenny is great. Perfect late night/post-gig fodder with a beer and bad freezer food. Also:

Because hockey brings people together. And the dude had his tooth pulled for effect FFS!

I recently did a rewatch on that one for the first time since childhood. Incredibly dark for a Disney production. I'd be curious to see what a remake would be like in the right director's hands.

Just finished Deadloch on Prime. It was fun.

I haven't seen Barbie but was surprised that it was not being considered for the Oscar awards for some reason.

NO!
We don't need to remake that movie. It's rad just the way it is.

Nominated for Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress.

Barbie was a good movie. I don't think it was great. I saw every movie that came out last year. It was better than most, but that doesn't mean much nowadays.

We watched "Barbie" last weekend. While it was good in spots in an existential way, and certainly wasn't what we expected, it wasn't groundbreaking. I thought Margot did a really good job with that role, though.

Barbie was entertaining, but very forgettable. It's "message" was as subtle as a hot pink Corvette. I don't think it stands up to the other nominated films I saw.
