What are You Watching? Year 2022

[ChonkyTonks]

Bullet Train, Netflix, kick ass! 5/5
It’s like the plot line was more crooked than a DC lawyer.

I love this movie. Quite fun.

What I am watching right now: The Gentlemen 5/5

Lovely movie. Second time watching it. Highly recommended for anyone who loves Guy Ritchie films.

Yeah the first couple of episodes actually are indeed like that.

They get better? After the rats jumped out of that guys mouth my wife passed a royal ban, ha ha.

The Pinocchio movie was awesome though. It’s a darker take on the story, and the music is very good. 5/5.

On a Tubi kick recently, watched "Article 99" with Kiefer Sutherland and Ray Liota. Along with many more stars. A small movie about the VA. Starts out great and ends with a whimper. 3.5/5, I would recommend, it helps that it's streaming for free.

That was some great television back in the 70's. Here's another

We'll check it out.

Yes, episodes 3-5 are very good, 6 is ok, 7 it's a bit of a dud story but very interestingly made, and will watch 8 tonight.

The Shootist on British tv.

I'd obviously heard about the movie but never got around to watching it. Great supporting cast and John Wayne was excellent as the terminally ill gunslinger.

5/5

The Umbrella Academy. Strange, hard to follow. I can’t get invested in any of the characters. 2/5.

Watching France get their asses handed to them by Argentina.

Watching France get their asses handed to them by Argentina.

They very nearly pulled it off, tho.

1938 - Reginald Owen - easy 5/5***

Magic at Celtics. I am a huge NBA fan. I have the NBA package and I will watch just about any NBA game, especially if I have a bet on it.

I'm not a loyal fan to one team. I like to watch Milwaukee, Brooklyn, Boston, New Orleans, Memphis, Golden State, Utah and Dallas.

The Flight Attendant. I liked the first season (3-5), but struggled through the 1st episode of the second season, and couldn’t make it through the 2nd episode… (1-5).

I really like this limited series, both seasons. It got pretty twisted at the end of the second. I would give it 4/5 overall. It was great, but I'll reserve my 5/5 for the truly good stuff.
amazing shit

I thought the series Westworld was very good. Good acting, lots of plot changes and I do enjoy a good western/sci fi genre. 4/5 for me.

I agree, this was a very good series. Have to say I enjoyed season 1 the best. Season 2 was ok, but it was good overall. Solid 4/5.

 

[shanez]

This is very short but my daughter made us watch it a half dozen times in a row so I guess that makes up for it.

If, like me, you're a fan of both the Simpsons and Andrea Bocelli this is a 5/5.

I recently saw Top Gun Maverick. Not always a big fan of sequels, but after a 36 yr hiatus, I think they did a great job. If you liked the first one, then you’ll surely like this edition. 5/5 ??

I'm a huge fan of the original Top Gun, been watching it repeatedly since I was 6yo. As an adult having watched all of the "making of"s I have a much deeper appreciation for what they were trying to make, a rock and roll movie. This Maverick sequel has Tom Cruise and Navy jets (even a Tomcat), but it is a terrible flick. Mavericks character back slid in life since the first film, but also somehow is a test pilot for some super secret program? That being said, the opening scene up to the point of him walking into the dinner is the best of the movie. Could turn it off after that and be satisfied. All the other characters just lamely mimic the original, the call signs are just dumb, and where the hell is the soundtrack? The middle of the film could be cut down by to 1/3 so it did feel repetitive. I would give the original 5/5 because I watch it at least once a year and listen to the soundtrack often. 'Maverick' for me is 2/5. Would be ok forgetting it exists.

The run up to the EMMYs has begun, so yours truly is getting slammed with programming to watch. Right now I'm watching the Apple+ production of Issac Azimov's Foundation. Initially I didn't care much for it, as the storytelling seemed a little cold, But that's in keeping with the books.

The production values are truly outstanding and it's been growing on me with each passing episode.

5 out of 5

Love foundation, can’t wait for season 2!

The new "season" of Craft in America aired last night on PBS. It's been in my top 5 series on TV since it started in 2007, but I find art, and more so: the process, to be fascinating. I'm not an artist myself. I'm not all that creative in any way, really. If I had a wish, it wouldn't be to be rich, to have this or that, or to go to the moon. I'm not an envious person, but I do envy artists and creativity. There are a couple other things too, but they're for another conversation. 5/5. Sit down with your kids and expand their perspective.

I managed to get through House of The Dragon so I can forget vote for it for this year's EMMY with a clean conscience. Still traipsing through HBO MAX and decided to rewatch an old favorite, ROME. It's held up reasonably well, and I like the cast. I'm not as taken with it as I was when I first watched it, a bit too much Roman soap opera in it, but they they really went all out recreating the ancient city on a six acre set.

It's not going to change your life, but it's diverting.
