OT: TV & Movie thread: Part III

[Ben Grimm]

... I love Slow Horses and I had a hard time getting into episode 1. I'm hate-watching the Billy Crystal show "Before". It might even be worse than Invasion. I can't wait for Severance. ...

Agreed. I watched the first 2 or 3 episodes of Before and hated it so much ... I stopped watching.

I watched 5 episodes of , Say Nothing , on Sunday . It was IMO....REALLY GOOD ! The show was about the struggle in Northern Ireland back in the early 70's . It focused mainly on two sisters and their part in the uprising against the monarchy/Protestants .

He was also good as the lead in Quarry on Cinemax, but unfortunately cancelled after 1 season.

I remember that show.....always felt they didn't give it a chance. Don't remember him in it though. Will have to go back.

By the early 70s the Prime Minister was running Britain.

Am wondering if anyone else saw the original House of Cards (the british version)?

Juror #2 goes on HBO on the 20th, it’s very good, and probably Clint’s last movie directing if your looking for a watch this weekend.

He was the lead in the show. He was the Vietnam war vet that had come back home in the early 70s. He had a mustache on the show I think. His gf was played by Jodi Balfour. I think it was the first show I saw with Damon Herriman, who later went on to be in Mr. Inbetween (another show I loved).

I'm going to see Interstellar again tomorrow. I wish I had seen it tonight instead of the Rangers game.

I'm jealous. I watched episode 9 and we still aren't sure of what's happening.

I like Screen Rant's review: The last episode is next. It's either going to be a make or break episode that saves the show or cements it as one of the worst Apple shows ever made.

I'm guessing the latter.

I looked it up the trailer after reading your post and instantly remembered it.

I watched Contact with my daughter earlier this week - she agreed to it after she saw a description that it was Interstellar for the 90's. Great movie that holds very well even with passage of time.

I hear once you see Interstellar over 125 times that Matthew McConaughey turns in to Ben Afleck. Is that true?

The first season was good, but that second season was an abomination.

Yes, in Imax for its 10th year anniversary. They haven't really done any promotion for it, but it has broken the record for a re-release in IMAX.

The first showing was on Fri Dec 6th. It was only meant to be out a week in very limited theaters, but the demand for it was insane. It sold out incredibly quickly, so they extended it through tomorrow in a ton of theaters. Tomorrow will be your last opportunity. I went again earlier today and I'm tempted to go again tomorrow.

He was starting to look a bit like Casey Affleck today, but maybe it was just my theater's projection system.

I'll tell you what, after so many times, even Anne Hathaway was starting to look cute even in that boyish haircut.

Btw, Nicky Fotiu was my favorite Ranger growing up. Gotta love a person that could scare Dave the Hammer Schultz.

I saw it in the theater and liked it, but I havent' seen it in a long time.

I think a re-watch is in order. Let me check my schedule. Oh yeah, any time the Rangers are scheduled for the rest of this season seems open.

Nicky's fight vs Behn Wilson really set the tone for those Rangers after years of Philly beating them up.

Anne is very attractive. I have to give her that credit.

Especially after getting pounded by them year after year. Remember how we would get our asses kicked during every brawl? I built up so much hate for the Flyers year after year and I finally got an exorcism when Orr put Fedoruk in a coma.

We were very soft but Philly did that to 75% of teams
