I wonder if Donald is watching it

Tommyknockers DID have Traci Lords

She became a lot less fascinating when she turned 18.

It Comes at Night - Terrible movie. Spend 2 hours waiting for the zombies or monster or whatever. Nothing happens.

Started with Outlander. Interesting so far.

I had an interesting time with the first series. I didn't realise I could turn on English subtitles so I was left just as confused as Claire during all the Gaelic.
Which was an experience.
Apparently when Shogun was first aired they did it without subtitles as they were aiming for this effect.

It's decent. A bit too much "one for the aunties" with lots of emphasis on romance and shirtless guys. But there's some fun time travel history stuff in there,

I'm actually half-joking, some of his books deserved better adaptations than what they got.

I am still waiting on how the hell anyone would adapt The Breathing Method. I want my complete Different Seasons anthology.

That's what I got: Fabio in a kilt with time travel.

Well the books are a romance series.

Started with Outlander. Interesting so far.

I like this show and have been watching it since it began. This season just started, into the second episode.

Certainly, nothing happens if you're watching for the zombies or monster or whatever. That isn't the point of the film. All scenes but one take place in and around the house for a reason.

Well yeah, she got too old for porn, but entered the mainstream.

It's the kind of show that I am not embarrassed to watch and say out loud, "Yes, I am wearing a bodice, and I am comfortable with that."

ep. 3 of Vietnam was best one so far. Didn't realize the powers that be knew that Vietnam was gonna be a fuck up from day one

Do they adress the interplay between Vietnam and other political issues, mainly domestic, in Johnson's first year? Do they claim that they know what the administration's priorities should have been?

The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse (1938), a very silly movie played far too straight, featuring Edward G. Robinson and Humphrey Bogart.   EGR is the eponymous doctor who decides to research the medical effects of crime and goes on a robbery spree in order to study the effect on himself. [spoiler] The capstone of his research is when he murders one of his partners in crime (Bogart).[/spoiler]

Throughout Dr. Clitterhouse is treated sympathetically despite his monstrous activities.  [spoiler]The crazy goes up to 11 at the trial, when he insists that the book of his research is sane and could not have been written by an insane man.  The jury, rather spontaneously and apparently without deliberating, declares the doctor not guilty by reason of insanity.  After all, what sane man would insist that he was sane when he could get away with murder by claiming to be insane?[/spoiler]
