My wife doesn't share my enthusiasm for silent movies; and she gets angry when I tell her the next plot point of "Fat Guys in the Woods" before it happens, so art films have been the best compromise.

You might also consider a second television set. ;)

I'm not made of money.   :(
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

So Lex Luthor is basically Mark Zuckerberg.

That's like turning Dr Doom into an angry IT nerd. Oh, wait.

"Falling Skies". Are they even trying?
It is so bad, yet I can't stop watching...

I've only watched the first season, and it was dreadful. Dunno if it gets better, though.

Chico y Rita (2010)

Chico is the boy, Rita is the girl, they meet, and the course of true love doesn't run smooth.  You can see every plot point coming from un kilometro away in this Spanish language cartoon.  It's an entertaining film thanks largely to the many 50s era music throughout the film.  The film has some real figures from the jazz and Latin jazz era; most notably it features the final day of Chano Pozo.

Took up The Americans again. I had already watched the first season a couple years ago and loved it to bits, but they never got around to show the others in Spanish broadcast TV. It's now on our Netflix equivalent, though.

Gonna rewatch the first season first, to get reacquainted with the characters, and follow from there.

The Top Gear crew has signed on with Amazon Prime to make a new car show. Should make the show even crazier than it already is.

Hector and the Search for Happiness.  Great movie - but this crowd may be a bit too jaded.  :P

Rushmore.  10/10.  Wanted to watch Last Temptation, tho, or The Searchers.  Having a girlfriend is very restraining. :weep:

By a strange coincidence:

The Searchers (1956) :alberta:

One thing I didn't catch the first time I saw this was that the final raid by the rangers parallels the raid by the Comanche at the beginning of the film.  The dog barks in both, Aaron and Scar look out nervously and Martin and Scar snatch Debbie before the raid begins.

As always it's a fantastic film; John Wayne's best performance.

Finally, a movie I saw :P

Is that the one where John Wayne wears a very visible red shirt, stands in front of his man, on a lug or something, shooting indians with a slow rifle, hitting one with every shot while the indians keep firing at him and missing, mostly hitting the poeple hiding behind said trunk?

It might be another one, just like that.  All these westerns of the 50 and 60s tend to look alike ;)
