I'm consistently disappointed that they haven't used a couple hundred million dollars and our modern CGI technology to make a Bomber Command movie.

Is 'Hateful Eight' worth consigning 2h40m of my life to?

No. Almost as bad as Django.

Yeah, I wish Peter Jackson had gone ahead with that Dambusters remake.

Westworld  -  [spoiler]So Bernard as Arnold. Saw that one coming. But not quite how I expected, I thought one of the two guys in the photo would be replaced by the actor we know. As things are....who is the 3rd guy? And how come nobody recognises him?
Delores killed Arnold. Well damn. Wonder how many others she killed. And how she is still hanging around.
If Billy as future evil guy is indeed true a lot of questions are there.

Billy being in the past is also pretty much confirmed with the very robotic hosts around him.
Makes me wonder though. There are these special sentient hosts... but that means they're the old robotic models and not the new organic models.... strange for the robots to be less sophisticated than the organics.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Interesting piece: Arnold Weber is an anagram of Bernard Lowe.  The other guy in the picture is the robotic version of Ford's dad that Arnold presented to him, hence why Bernard addressed him "Arnold?" when he ran into him in the house.  I think Delores is Wyatt at this point.  That is the play by Ford to stop The Man in Black.  There have been a lot of hints about the 35/30/present breakdown throughout the show.  The first one I noticed was the changing logos of Westworld in the different time periods.  The robotic ones were more sophisticated than the "modern" organic ones, but they also were more expensive and harder to maintain if memory serves.  A few different characters mention the various reasons for the change over, not the least of which was the death of Arnold who was a holdout for the robotic versions.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]yeah, bernard = arnold was basically confirmed a few weeks ago. this past week officially confirmed multiple timelines, which there had been tons of hints before. beyond what articles said, such as the different logos, the squirrel whore was mentioned as running the brothel before maeve took over, and she was playing a maeve-like role around william. also, the hanged mexican guy was mentioned as having had a bigger role in the past.

man in black is william
delores and william team up to find the maze (robot consciousness) like they did in the past
it's poetry, nolan[/spoiler]

edit for the spaniards

Quantico is confusing as hell.  Although I'm sometimes guessing what will happen during the episode, I can't seem to get a clear reading of what is going on with all those double twists.

Not as good as a show like Game of Thrones, but any show that manages, at time, to confuse me, is a show I want to see.  I can't get a fix on who's who, what is their real motivations, who's infiltrating who.

Some guys I know have worked in a series that SyFy is starting tomorrow - called Incorporated. It's not going to be shown in Spain in the immediate future, so I'd appreciate Languish' opinion on it.

Slipped by me. Thanks for the heads up.

I'll try to record it.

She is. So. Focking. Hawt.

Watching 3% on Netflix.  I highly recommend it.  It is Portuguese with subtitles and my only complaint is in the first couple of episodes there is a lot of white background so the yellow subtitles are sometimes hard to read.  But the character development and writing are excellent.

Basic theme is that when a person turns 20 they get to go through the "Process" which is a series of tests designed to pick the top 3%.  The successful candidates get to go to a better life.  The rest return to the slums from where they came.

100% agree

Trying to get into Timeless, but it's likely the next show I'll cancel.  Designated survivor might follow too.  I'll keep on recording, but I don't know when I'll watch, if I'll watch.
