TV/Movies Megathread

Probably as long as they are not being fired at you.

Wouldn't knock it till you try it.

Anyway, here's a diversionary true story.

When I was young I went to a school in Malta, run by a Catholic order of brothers who were very mean spirited. It was a fairly large school and we had very strict rules. One of them was the "out of bounds rules". We werent' allowed to leave school property during the school day. Well one day, at recess, we were playing soccer, as we all did, when one of us kicked the ball over the fence and into the valley down below.

Two of us, making sure the brothers weren't watching, climbed over the chain link fence and went looking for the ball in the valley. Amongst the brush, and trees, we found what we thought was the ball. It wasn't. It was very heavy. It was a cannon ball from the Turkish seige of Malta. We carried it back up, and with difficulty tried bringing it over the fence. We were caught by the prefects, who took us to see the Brothers.

the brothers were delighted to see the cannon ball, and put it on display in the front entrance, along with a previously unearthed fragment from a WW2 German bomb.  We, on the other hand, got suspended for a week.

Hehe, very cool story!

Youse guys were right about the skin in Outlander.  See how long it holds me.

Dolemite is My Name. Note to the creators- showing a crowd of people laughing uproariously doesn't make the material funny.

Series finales of The Good Place and Bojack Horseman had me way more emotional than any other non-real event.

'Hidden Figures' - Fine for a feel-good film.

[The Brain]

Regression. Satanic cult terrorizes small town. [spoiler]To those old enough to remember the 80s and early 90s it's obvious from the first moments what the deal is. It's a decent enough movie though, and if it can help the younger generation avoid witch hunts then that's great.[/spoiler]

I'm really liking The New Pope.

And for Yi, there's some MILFy tits in it. Last episode had some MILF side bush too.

[The Brain]

A Cure for Wellness. Zhukov runs a Swiss sanatorium, with hilarious results. At least an hour too long and a bit of a mess.

I've been watching some of that too. Pretty good so far.

I'm watching Bladerunner the final cut on Netflix and I can't see any changes.  Maybe a couple more minutes when Deckard enters Sebastian's apartment?

[Maladict]

Watched Ad Astra yesterday. The story itself isn't bad, nor is Pitt's acting. But the unnecessary action sequences are just ludicrous and ruin everything.

This season of Vikings started off the alt history charts and ended in complete fantasy

[spoiler]The Rus army forms in Kiev and invades "Norway" via a Normandy style landing with specialized landing craft.  Budget was not big enough to include battleships and air support though  [/spoiler]

[spoiler]The really funny part is that the iconic Longship was feared exactly because it was already a specialized landing craft - very shallow draft, could put in at any inlet, allowed raiders to show up nearly anywhere ... the Norse also used another class of ship entirely, the Knarr, for cargo.

[spoiler]They needed a catalyst so Erik the Red would go on and colonize Greenland with some other survivors.  And to justify Scandinavian-Novgorod wars, most likely, from a series point of view.[/spoiler]

Despite the alt-history, it is still very good television.   Sad that History channel has censored our feed, Yi will be unable to fully appreciate this series.
