On the edge of the Antarctic Circle, a ship approaches a desolate island, far from all shipping lanes. On board is a young man who is on his way to assume the post of weather observer and live in solitude at the end of the earth. He finds no trace of the man he has been sent to replace, just a...

Finished the Knick. So friggin good. A gem for those who haven't watched.
Anything new / good to watch on HBO?
Watched the first episode of Ted, which was pretty good, and will check the rest.
(I saw the first movie but not the second as yet.)

Agreed completely
Season 1 was fun and had a lot of promise. Season 2 the writing was starting to get cheap, then partway through season 3 I just gave up. Completely ran out of ideas and started pandering.

They can start by looking at the Bruins' defense corps.
I am loving that Netflix has all seasons of House streaming now. I love Hugh Laurie, what a talent. His roles in Black Adder were priceless.
His American accent is so good. I recall a lot of people didn't even realize he was British since they hadn't seen him in other roles.
The English are clearly the best with accents. (Americans, not so much). I absolutely loved Blackadder and Jeeves & Wooster.
Remember when Benedick Cumberbatch became a big deal with the film The Imitation Game? I knew "Cummerbund" was a Brit, but never saw the movie and didn't know what he looked like. I thought his name was a bit ridiculous.
Fast forward to Doctor Strange. I was greatly surprised to learn who the star was. His American accent was flawless. That's when I became a fan, not least because of BC's impish turn as the good doctor.

Speaking of English actors with good American accents.......Can anyone remember a role Christian Bale has had where he actually used his native English accent? Seems like every role he's played, he's had an American accent. I can't for the life of me remember him in a role with an English one...
Found one! Ford vs Ferrari.
rewatched season 1 of true detective for the first time since it came out almost a decade ago
Still a masterpiece

He's Australian, isn't he? I never saw Empire of the Sun, late 80s, directed by Spielberg.
My first exposure to Bale was American Psycho, and then The Velvet Goldmine.
The Dark Knight trilogy remains the favorite. Although the first one was overlong (as Christopher Nolan's films tend to be; still leery of Oppenheimer with its three hour running time) and boring. Its successors were also overlong, with rather too much gratuitous violence, car chases, etc., but they're great.
