We caught up on Agents of SHIELD last night. The dialogue was remarkably clever, with some lines that, in my opinion, rivaled some of the comments on the old MST3K. I don't think I'm spoiling anything for anyone, but if you haven't seen the episode yet, you might want to stop reading; I don't...
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, with Youngest Shellhamer. This was the super-extended-enlarged-extra-mega-jumbo-double-wide edition, with lots of non-canonical characters, events, and plot points. But we both dug it, nonetheless. We want to watch the multitude of extras, but neither...
One of my all time favorites. Margo Channing is a character who is supposed to be over the top, and Bette sells it completely. The shots of New York are peek into the past.
I think I've mentioned this a long time before, but years ago just before kick off at UCLA football games they would run a...
We are alternating between episodes of Victoria on the PBS app and Foyle's War on Acorn TV.
We caught up on a Blue Bloods, dvr'd last week, along with Bull.
Agents of SHIELD: LMD: makes me think of the John Severin illustrated comic book, where Fury was an unmodified nor enhanced agent, surrounded by cool tech, i.e, LMDs of himself, so he can do spy stuff Howlin' Commando style without the bad guys locating him.
Sherlock, The Final Problem. Agreed with some posters on reddit that there were some plot holes that detracted from the overall story. The video of Mary Watson seemed like the elegy for the series.
Episodes 1 and 2 of the new Sherlock. Pretty wild, but it's enjoyable to see how they tweak the original canon.
A couple episodes from season one of Foyle's War. The Missus and I definitely like it.
...and, apropos of nothing, S1E1 of Mary Tyler Moore on Hulu.
On the recommendation of the staff at Total Wine, I bought Winchester Rye on Saturday. I tried it neat, and did not care for it. Not that it's too strong, it was sort of... metallic? Mineral-ly? Will give it a second chance in a Manhattan.
Today, watching the Rose Bowl, a gin and tonic with the son-in-law, who, prior to marrying into the family, had not had a g & t. Now he rates them highly.
We like to show this to folks who are unaware of it. Most experience disbelief at the black humor, then express disbelief at how the charm of the characters makes you overlook the darker elements. The French liked it so much that it played for a year and a half.
In the theatre, Rogue One, which we all really liked. Director Gareth Edwards' visual style makes everything look as though it was filmed on location. Without letting a spoiler slip by, Governor Tarkin is a must-see.
At home, You Can't Take it with You. The Missus had never seen it and it was...
