TV/Movies Megathread

Michael Bolton's Big, Sexy Valentine's Day Special - pretty good.

I just watched this today and was coming here to post about it.  I think it was better than pretty good, I thought it was hilarious.  I highly recommend it to anyone who has Netflix and enjoys stupid immature humor.

Dr Strange- Well, that was odd. I was expecting something far more trippy and other worldly. Instead much of it takes place in Inception style warped city environments. It plays like the first episode of a potentially interesting TV series. As a stand alone film... meh.
The inter-credit scene with Thor was dumb. Felt like it belonged years later.
Marvel is jumping the shark greatly... but still OK.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them- Did they have such awesome teleportation magic in Harry Potter? Can't recall that. Pretty interesting setting and some cool points though nothing great breaking.

Young Pope. Anyone watching that? So seems like this was a one-off season. The ending said, quite clearly, The End. And they pretty much left no loose ends. Too bad..I kinda liked it.

when it got to the last two episodes I began to really enjoy it.  But it was hard getting to that point.  Too bad it ended just as it was paying off.

I was just watching the first episode of BBC's adaptation of SS-GB (I'll need to see another episode before I can tell if I like it) and noticed something odd in the closed captioning*. When there was some street noise, the CC read 'Hubbub' What a delightful phrasing.


*yes, I always watch things with subtitles if I can.

Oh thanks for the reminder, I was wondering when it would be on.

Off to watch it on iplayer.

Took my nieces to the 10 am showing of Rocky at the historic Senator.  They were good sports about it, and liked it.  Of course, Uncle Jay Jay is still the only one that tears up at the end.

You and your The A-Team fetish.

I'm more of a Murdock fan.

Best 10-year old's quotes after the movie--

"Apollo Creed is too full of himself."
"Are all the people in Philadelphia that mad at life all the time, like back then?"

You should dig up that video of Filthydelphians throwing snowballs at Santa for them. You would be Best Uncle then.

They are, aren't they?

I think he got his ass kicked in the parking lot too, for being a Skins fan.

Apparently the BBC has adapted Len Deighton's SS-GB for TV?
