TV/Movies Megathread

If I were an intergalactic guardian looking out for and safeguarding new advanced life and if I got a signal from that new life and that signal was suddenly inexplicable stopped whilst there's a large star ship fleet around the originating spot, well... Then I would investigate what the fuck was going on, not just go back into the void.

[spoiler]The beacon did not look like a simple signal, but more like something that opened some kind of artificial wormhole or something, and then it closed down on them when they shut the signal.

How to train your dragon - its a kids film. So the huge plot holes are forgivable, as are the accents. Enjoyable film about cat dragons with a nice anti nationalist message.

Captain Future (Capitaine Flam) marathon on the cable channel called Mangas (sic) TV.
Earlier there was City Hunter (Nicky Larson), Goldorak a.k. a UFO Robot Grendizer (giant mochas inside) plus Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors.
Quite the nostalgy programming for lockdown. Only missing the Rose of Versailles for its scheming Robespierre and Ninja-style Saint-Just.

I loved how the first time you see him he's this fresh-faced young dude working at Wall-Mart and after a few months/years of working for Exotic he already starts looking like a disheveled methead like everybody else

Typoed and meant sane... but yes. That too

Incidentally watched the followup this morning. Wow, the ex-husband looks and even sounds completely different.

The Golden Horde (a Russian series, free on Amazon Prime).

So far, pretty good, with good production values.  If you're a fan of the historical costume drama, it is worth a look.

Heh then, apparently, outside the TV series,  he was arrested for attacking someone with a sword.

Killing Eve season 3. Villanelle speaking Catalan

Killing Eve season 3. Villanelle speaking Catalan 

I haven't watched that show but have seen some pretty good previews. How is it, a good show? Looks like a drama/thriller with murder and intrigue.

It's a drama/thriller but it carries a heavy dose of dark comedy. I think it's great, but I suppose you have to dig the tone.
