OT: TV & Movie thread: Part III

There might not be anyone as annoying as Danielle from Big Brother.

Check out ST: Discovery and Mythic Quest. Both shows have some really annoying characters.

Kate Hudson turned down the lead in The Devil Wears Prada. Bad call. That film made the lovely Anne Hathaway.

Loved Discovery -- Michelle Yeoh alone was worth the price of admission.

I can’t stand the convulsing every episode.

Just watched Dark Matter (Apple+) season 1 which was fantastic until it went off the tracks at the end. Still, recommend it.

So I am trying cord cutting my internet too after cutting off cable TV. My phone plan is ATT so they have an existing customer promo of $47 a month for their All-Fi Hub, which is their 5G home internet. It's spotty. When it works, it's pretty fast, near 100 Mbps DL and 30 Mbps UL. But it's often breaking up, "connected without internet," requiring a reboot of the hub. I have the hub on my 3rd floor and next to a window facing their nearby cell tower too. I don't think it's steady and reliable enough to switch from landline cable internet. I can't see having to reboot the device daily. Anyone else using this and know why it's always going out?

Meanwhile, caught the first 3 new episodes of Reacher. It's a refreshing return to the more S1 feel than the bloated S2.

One day I have to get back to the first Dark Matter (also a scifi series).

I really like Ke Huy Quan, but man, I just couldn't pull the trigger on that one. I had a couple of hours to kill the other day while waiting for my dog at the groomer, but I couldn't decide between Love Hurts and One of Them Days. I chose neither. Couldn't do it.

I can only wonder if it was as bad as Argylle. That looked like one of the worst movies of all time.



The third one is already in development. It was green-lit at the end of January I believe.

Funny you mention Argylle because the main actress in Love Hurts, Ariana DuBose was in that too! Argylle was much worse because it was 139 minutes! Love Hurts was thankfully only 83 minutes.

Paying $96 a month for Direct TV Streaming is annoying me but at least I keep my broadband to $40 and my cell phone package is minimal.

Started watching Mo on Netflix. Entertaining show might not be for everyone
