TV/Movies Megathread

After I am finished with the current show, I definitely am interested in seeing "Community". Lots of people seem to enjoy that show.

It's the most original and creative sitcom of the last decade, and a deserved cult classic. It's 6 seasons, IIRC, but the true gems are the first two. After the 4th the show got into internal turnmoil, some cast members left and it got cancelled and picked up by a different network a couple of times.

I'd rate the seasons as 2>3>1>>5>6>>>>4.  Even with that season 6 has some stellar work by Paget Brewster (who I always love) and Keith David.  It rates so low because Donald Glover isn't there.  S4 has a couple of good episodes but it's mostly skippable.

Extraction on Netflix. Nice action. Intensely filmed with lots of long takes in Dhaka. It has Chris Hemsworth.

Also it's written by Joe Russo and directed by a MCU stuntman and has some great fight scenes.

Does very little to promote Bangladesh as a tourist hot spot.

I watched a 60s episode of the Jetsons.
Fascianting to note quite how sexist it is and that Mrs jetson says robot the same way as Isaac Asimov. I've never heard anyone else talk of a robit.

Thieves in the Woods on hiatus.  Checking out Waco.  Pretty good 15 in.  Sympathetic to Koresh.  Down on the ATF.

Is that the 2.5 ish hour documentary from a couple of years ago?

If so it's very good and gives a lot of insight into the working of the original group and how Koresh took it over.

Nope.  Full dramatic treatment.  6 part miniseries.

I liked the Waco "documentary" where they edited the film so it looked like the government used flame throwers.  The film that inspired a major terrorist attack!

The theory of time travel - one of the random pieces of trash that fills up amazon prime.... But this one was actually pretty good. Slow start but interesting timey wimeyness

I've started on The Hollow Crown, watched Richard II. I saw parts of it on TV some years ago, but now I saw it all. I liked it.

Hotel Artemis - Jodie Foster must really need money.

Hotel Artemis - Jodie Foster must really need money.

Yeah, I saw that movie and it was ok but also quite strange. A semi-dystopian society or something. I wasn't sure what to make of it.

Thanks CC that's reminded me to watch season 3. 

Had netflix for a few weeks now and only watch two films and a half episode of last kingdom.

Westworld - it started well but once again they get undone by their obsession with twists and plot pyrotechnics. Stopped caring.
