TV/Movies Megathread

You don't wear towels in a sauna.

Remind me not to go in after you.

Why bother go in if you're going to wrap yourself in a towel?

Presumably the same reason you'd go in otherwise, to bask in the steam.

Why would you want to be wrapped in a sweaty towel?

[Eddie Teach]

Saunas aren't my thing.

Saunas aren't my thing.

Done right, they are amazing.

Started to try and watch The Queen's Gambit...became interminably bored with it and quit inside the first episode.

I must be: a Philistine. 

[Eddie Teach]

I feel like we'd already established that.

The Philistines were actually very sophisticated.  You are more like a hill dwelling Israelite

It takes 3 episodes to get interesting, imo.

I thought the orphanage stuff was some of the best part.

No way man, the orphanage parts were compelling and sets up the whole story.

Same, especially the small personal tragedy that is revealed later on [spoiler]with both not getting to see Mr. Shaibel or paying him back[/spoiler].

oooh, that's gonna come back and haunt you some day.

I was bored by Queen's Gambit, too. And I promise I'm not a "hate something because everybody likes it" person 

[Sheilbh]

Honestly I realised I would have to pay attention to it so stopped watching.

I watched a fair amount of serious, attention-needing things in the first lockdown. This time I've mainly been interested in TV that just washes over me, that I can very easily watch while I'm on my phone and dip in and out of.

With the single exception of Spiral/Engrenages which I take in small doses.

Yeah, strangely I find myself in the same mood, and has been like that for a while. I have a long list of "serious" movies/shows I want to watch, but when I sit down I find myself just browsing for something light and fun.

Modern archeology will back me up.
