He’s such a monster. Alan Ritchson. Giant.


I think The Fall of The House of Usher was so good. But I love all of Flanagan’s stuff and I love Poe as well.

I watched this movie called The Gift. It's a suspense thriller. I thought there was a supernatural element to it, but it's a reality-grounded revenge-based potboiler. Stars Jason Bateman, Rebecca Hall and Joel Edgerton. It's from a few years ago and pretty good.

Saw that a bit ago. It was a Joel Edgerton passion project. He wrote, directed and produced it. I thought it was really well done.

Anyone see The Shark is Broken on Broadway? Ian Shaw played his father Robert Shaw and was incredible.

Watching Bass Reeves......I thought it would be better . After 3 episodes there has not been much action . LMAO.....then again I just finished up watching Deadwood......and it had a lot of everything albeit quite unbelievable at times . It was entertaining .

Watching any western right after watching Deadwood is a BIG mistake -- nothing measures up.

I'm currently watching the first episode and struggling to get through it.

My sister is getting married in March, I told her we should prank her fiancé and I’ll walk down the beach (destination wedding) in a wedding dress then rip up a fake deed

Just finished 4th episode: the show was conceived (and written) as a biographical series -- not an action series. I agree that it should be better.

Just finished seasons 3 and 4 of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan -- I was underwhelmed.

 

[will1066]

Really looking forward to this:

Been watching this as the episodes drop weekly. I have mixed feelings.

That's been on my list. I liked seasons 1 and 2, but hadn't seen 3 and 4 yet. Why did you feel underwhelmed by those seasons?

 

[duhmetreE]

Has anyone watched Reacher? Is it worth bingeing?

Your sister is marrying Mr. Barnaby?

I also enjoyed 1 and 2. 3 just seemed to meander along and the writing was so-so. It also seemed they were turning Jack into an action figure ala Bourne. I felt episodes 7 and 8 were unnecessary and could have been included in the previous 6. Season 4 felt like they were trying to cram a lot of stuff in since they knew it was going to be the last season.

Bummed that Dune: Part Two is delayed until March.

I got the same take - enjoyed seasons 1 and 2 and then was really dissatisfied with 3 and only was able to get through a couple of episodes in season 4 before I switched to something else and have no interest in coming back to it.

Funny you should say that about 4 -- I got through the first 3 episodes....I started the 4th and realized I hadn't a clue as to what was going on. I thought of going back and rewatching eps 1-3, but decided against it.

Has anyone watched Reacher? Is it worth bingeing?

Reacher was very good....can't wait for second season.

 

[leetch99]

I would say no....I did watch it but it was not great IMO....Once you start you might like it .....everybody has different tastes .

Maybe that's why I don't remember anything that happened....I know I saw it and that I liked it, but beyond that: blank slate.

Yeah, me too. As always, not enough monsters.

Bummed that Dune: Part Two is delayed until March.

Is it? Shit.

Yeah, I’ve been looking forward to it all year. Re-read the entire Dune series again and everything.

I find that with so many series these days ...you watch and then forget LOL . I'm on the hunt for a good one for the holidays when we slow down at work and the time off . I can't stay upstairs in plain sight LOL.....have to get out of the missus's sight or else it will be vacuum duties or whatever .
