What Are You Watching On The Box?

Watched Episode 1 of Dracula 2020 on BBC...

Starting season 2 of Mindhunter on Netflix.

Love it and there's to be a new season. Some of last season was filmed near where I used to live. Get a chuckle out of the series as some of their phrases and ways of talking are straight out of my old neighborhood-South Dakotans and Minnesotans, (bordering on the Dakotas), share the lingo.

IIRC, there are three seasons. All different.

Yeah, great show. Almost done with season one. There is three seasons on Hulu... JPM, are you saying each season is a different crime? or is it a continuation?

You'll have to wait and see....

Jk. Yes, different in many aspects including cast.

Enjoyed them all but liked season one best so far.

I signed up for a free week of Disney+ and downloaded all chapters of "The Mandolorian". I watched them all in 2-3 days and unsubscribed. Nothing else I want to see.
Good series.

Watched the dramatic end of BBC's Dracula 2020, a camp & decadent modern version, of Count Vlad & Bram Stoker's avatar Count Dracula. Now the daily bad news for the New Year peace.

The original Planet of the Apes. The originals are the only ones worth watching.

That remake in 200-whatever was some straight up ?. Couldn't get through 10 minutes of it.

 

[JMcQ]

Just started Messiah on Netflix. I'm intrigued.

 

[python]

Now watching Beneath the Planet of the Apes.

 

[prndl]

Finished up "You" (2nd season) last night.

I thought the series was gonna be chick-flicky at first but, it's so warped it's really kinda catchy.

 

[tbradsim1]

Also watching Messiah, on third episode.

Eddie Murphy is a big fan of the original. Talks about it with Seinfeld in their Comedians In Cars.. episode.

 

[3rdguy]

Watched The Irishman straight through last night.
We enjoyed it and honestly felt like it went by nicely for 3 1/2 hours. Great cast.

Thursday I watched the 1960 H.G. Wells "The Time Machine". Seen bits and pieces of it in the past, finally watched it all at once start to finish. It was fun to watch.

Just started Dracula on Netflix. Seems like this series will pair well with a nice Balkan mixture and a hearty glass of red?‍

 

[smudgersmissingleg]

Just watched the remake of The Thing on Netflix.
Although it had lots of modern digital effects I didn't like it anywhere near as much as the John Carpenter original.
That bit where the doctor is using the CPR shock paddles on the guy and his chest opens up to reveal a whacking great mouth with big sharp teeth still makes me jump. Even though I know it's coming and have seen the movie 5 or 6 times before.

I've found the horror/scary movie selection on (UK) Netflix to be piss poor.

I've found the horror/scary movie selection on (UK) Netflix to be piss poor.

The US version isn't much better. Most of the horror movies are B-Horror and/or a lot of rubbish that I've never heard of. Most of the time after watching one of them I feel like I just wasted the 1 1/2 - 2 hours of my life and can't get it back.

There are some good horror movies on there, just not the majority of them.
