Whatcha watching?

These days I no longer pretend English is English. Subtitles have been known to fill out my understanding of some dialogue.

But some people would rather not watch a show they have to read to understand. Best caption moment ever for me was the Hunt for Red October, where they faded the subtitles out and turned up the English translation early in the piece. Hilarious.

I'll turn the cc on when something is dubbed in English. The frequent differences in tranlation are pretty funny.

If I'm selling a vintage bass, especially one owned by a rock icon, the first thing I think is yeah, a pawn shop would be good.

I'll give you $1,800 cash, right now, for the Entwistle bass. Say yes before I change my mind to $1,200.

Those are the people who don't watch PBS, and therefore have no knowledge of "Antiques Roadshow."

The Regime is kinda fun so far. Tokyo Vice continues to be enjoyable. I loved the book and the show isn't disappointing.

Watched "Immediate Family" last night. Really cool to hear how all of those amazing musicians got their start. It's worth watching.

EDIT: My favorite comment from the movie by Lee Sklar: "When everything goes to hell, you stand on the corner being an executive and I'll play music; let's see who gets paid."

The Gentlemen. Guy Ritchie reams a well worn rut. But he's got a way with words.

Those old Bond movies are...something.

Mulder is beating up Skully, throwing her around a room.

Is he drunk and wearing a tank-top t-shirt?

Nah, it was an alien disguised as Mulder.

We saw Dune Part Two this afternoon. Excellent!

I started watching "The Suicide Squad" Saturday, but after 5 minutes I had to turn it off. So awful. There was no character development, and the script and acting was horrible. Heck, even Michael Rooker was bad.

Recently watched Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979) with Klaus Kinski as Count Dracula. A retelling of the 1922 Nosferatu. A fine movie with excellent moody, bleak cinematography, IMO.

Also re-watched Tampopo (1985), a Japanese comedy film, billed as a "ramen Western". I've seen it a few times over the years and enjoyed it each time. If you like comedies, this might be worth watching. From Janus Films who, IMO, put out quality stuff. When looking for a trailer to post, it looks like the whole film is available on Youtube. I watched it on a DVD a friend loaned me.

Watched Lovely, Dark, and Deep and Out of Darkness. The former was okay, a low-budget spooky sci-fi affair. The latter was higher budget brutishness.

We finally watched episode 1 of "Shogun". Wow -- it's very well done! Excellent acting and cinematography. Can't wait to see the rest!
