Whatcha watching?

Lord of the Flies.
I remember reading this book in high school, but I forgot how brutal it is. Loved every minute watching it, just like I was back in the 80's although the remake of the movie I watched was from 1990.
I got sad all over again when they killed Simon and Piggy.

I watched the first 20 minutes of Fallout. I know nothing about the source material. It looked interesting but I was sleepy. I'm gonna watch it. I need to start watching new things. I just watch the same crap over and over.

I watched ep 1 of fallout last night. I can't say I'm lovin' it. I'm a fan of most post-apocalyptic shows, but is missing the mark so far.

Most of the glowing reviews I see are from game players, which I am not. I'll keep with it, for now.

I’m not a gamer either and knew nothing about the game going in. Since completing the first season, I’ve been watching YouTube videos on the direct adaptations from the game, and I gotta say it’s quite a cool universe.

I'm glad you're giving it a shot. I play some games, but Fallout hasn't been on my radar at all. From reading around, it seems the TV series nailed the tone, humor, and world of the games. Still not gonna get the game, but I found that without the game knowledge, the TV series stood well on it's own.

Currently watching an old silent film, The Wind (1928), that I recorded from cable TV.

I gotta say, I'm not much interested in modern current offerings. Just tired of the sameness in sensibilities. Occasional shining films or series come out, but overall, just uninteresting stuff to me. For current movies, we just wait a few years until it's free.

These days I go for old films/TV, old or current foreign films/TV, art-house, independent, etc,.
