^ Haha gotta see that one.
The Last Dance. Great watch as a longtime MJ & 90's Bulls fan.
Lesbo Bats. Not the most engaging pilot so far but hey I'll see where it goes.
Lesbo Bats? Title of the year?

I've seen 6 eps so far and the show does get better somewhat after the first 2 eps but this is still a far cry from some of its sister shows. While I didn't catch up w/ the recent seasons of Arrow, The Flash and Supergirl they all got off to a better start imo. I may have got burned out on superheroes a bit but in this case I think it's really the show's weaknesses that are to blame. I get how they go for bleak visuals and somewhat understated and 'realistic' action but the end result is too bland for me, at least so far. The most interesting character is Alice, and her back story does get filled out as the season progresses, but she's nowhere near outlandish or captivating. As a HUGE Alice In Wonderland fan (I collect book editions and secondary literature) I think much more could have been done in terms of references to the book and its characters. Mind you I don't know what rights issues are at play here.
While 'Gotham', which I saw the first two seasons of, suffered from tonal shifts early on (drama / comedy / action) the origin stories and performances were captivating. Also the look of the show was much more interesting, very colorful in places.
I wonder if the budget for 'Batwoman' is lower than for some of the other shows. Notice how strangely deserted the city of Gotham looks. Hardly any extras and a totally lifeless city with no day to day action in the background.
I'll still finish the season though.
I picked up where I left off with 'Emerald City' (2016) 4 years later. Really like it, too bad it got canceled. Some of the criticism the show got was valid but I still enjoy it immensely. I wish there more adult (not as in pornographic) versions of some of the original books. Well maybe there are, like graphic novels and such. I'll have a look around.
Narcos S1
I remember hearing about the bat "woman" show and the lead character identifying as she/they/it and how important it was that the replacement was also she/they/it.
Surviving The Game
Monkeybone
Bedazzled
Money Plane
His Dark Materials. Three episodes in, it's a good watch even if the books were originally meant for kids in the way Harry Potter was too.
The main actress (a young girl who plays the part of Lyra) looks a lot like the younger version of a student in my class 3 years ago. Then again, after 21 years of teaching most kids tend to look like somebody you used to know. Honestly there are only so many faces.
I thought the CGI animals ('daemons') in the show were gonna come off as corny but it just takes some getting used to in the pilot.
Never read any of the books.
A second season is underway.
I remember somebody mentioned Cobra Kai. It's a lot of fun, very easy to watch.
Check out Away on Netflix. It's a new show. I watched the first season yesterday. It's about an astronaut crew heading to Mars.

I just found out it was approved for Season 3.
Hopefully we get more Johnny Lawrence and less Robby Keene
I watched this back in 2017. It was good. I never saw the original one from 1973.Quote:

^^I haven't seen the new one but the original one is definitely worth a watch. Strong performances. I also read the book. My dad is a fan. He has a few of his books. I still have his 'Banco' to read.
Malek is an interesting actor. I enjoyed the 1st season of Mr Robot. The first two eps of season 2 were a turn off for me and I gave up after that.
Heard good things about Cobra Kai too, from various people, both here and IRL.
Sounds very interesting, something I would enjoy.Quote:

it's low on action but high on family relationships and the way the state police and intel agency (Stasi) worked
kind of like the celebrated movie 'Das Leben der Anderen' ('The Life of Others')
1 in 50 people in the DDR worked for the Stasi or was an informant for the Stasi. dayum!
One of the reason people in Germany, especially Berlin, are wary of using card for payments. And prefer cash. It is just over 30 years now. But still very fresh for some. Funny how Germany has the strictest privacy laws, compared to the rest of Europe. Somebody learned their lesson.Quote:

4 Netflix shows in German. Dogs at war is about the murder of the star soccer player of the national team and its investigation led by a detective with a huge gambling debt. Pretty good stuff.
Biohackers sees a young student start medicin at university. She is obsessed with her biology professor because of some shared history. Her fellow students are all involved in CRISPR experiments
Charité at war is about a hospital in Betlin in 1943
NSU is abou the build up to a few lethal extreme right terrorist attacks that took place in Germany a few years ago. The miniseries zooms in on the main culprit, a woman called Beate
Dogs of war has the best characters. The detective character is well done, the plot has the right pacing too, things move along swiftly
Picked up from the flea market:

The one on the left is part of movie history. Heston and especially Brynner are great. I haven't seen the other 2.Quote:

From Bible movies I saw as a kid I remember the burning bush scene leaving a great impression on me.
The Last Temptation Of Christ is my biblical movie pick. It actually makes it into a philosophical story rather than the superhero tale you see elsewhere.
Last night I watched Stardust Memories. I'm usually a fan of Woody Allen's films but this was not his finest hour. It's like all the worst cliches of Woody Allen in one film: Fellini references, love triangles, masturbatory tripe about fame and the meaning of life... The one joke that's actually funny is the aliens visiting him and telling him they like his movies "particularly the early, funny ones". At least the guy has some self awareness.
I remember seeing Woody Allen's 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona' in a movie theater with a co-worker. We'd gone out on what I thought were 2 semi dates (a dinner and a night out on the town). The movie got me so hot and bothered - it's a pretty sexy movie - I put my arm around my colleague during the movie but eh ... I'd read the signs wrong lol. TOTAL EFFIN CATASTROPHY hahaha. Unfortunately this is now always the first memory that pops up when somebody mentions Woody Allen. Good movie though! I haven't seen Stardust Memories.
Haha, all you can do is play it off like it's no big deal. I've had to do that with a few coworkers over the years who weren't as interested as I was, or that I had a one night stand with. Just pretend it never happened.Quote:

Woody Allen is a pedophile. Why do guys like him continue to get a free pass?
Woody Allen Isn’t an Artist – He’s a Pedophile
http://fairfieldmirror.com/opinion/c...hes-pedophile/
His defenders?
This is exactly what Hillary Clinton said about Kathy Shelton. She was raped by Thomas Alfred Taylor when she was only 12. He was 41. Hillary Clinton defended the rapist and accused Kathy Shelton of "fantasizing" the rape. Then half the country wanted Hillary to be president even though she defends rapists (including her husband) and helps them beat charges.Quote:
On Feb. 9, New York Times columnist Bret Stephens published a defense of Woody Allen alleging that Farrow is at best delusional and at worst lying. According to Jezebel, Farrow responded by tweeting, “To presume I invented this story & convinced myself of it is no less insulting than calling me a liar. I’ve consistently stated the truth for 25 years, I won’t stop now. It’s Stephens’ right to doubt me if he so chooses but his incredulity doesn’t change what happened that day.”
Fuck Woody Allen and his movies. He should have his dick cut off and shoved down his throat and be burned alive.
Filmmaker and accused pedophile Woody Allen visited Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘House of Horrors‘ in 2010 – two years after he was convicted for having sex with a child.

Yeah he's a pedo.
I don't wanna hear about Hillary Clinton in the movie section.
I don't wanna hear about politics in Wu Chamber.
I don't wanna hear about politics in the hiphop section.
3%, dystopian Portuguese-Brazilian scifi show on Netflix. Looks promising so far.
^ Haha, that figures.
From the information that's out there I find it hard to believe that he's guilty of anything, no part of the accusation rings true, that includes whatever Sense A posted. Maybe I'm wrong, but he's in his 80s now, we'll never get confirmation either way.
