    Poldark, from two weeks ago, and Longmire, rationing out an episode a week.

    A batch of cooking shows for Thanksgiving, looking for some new approaches to our family traditions.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    The Blacklist. Well, is he or is he ain't? Designated Survivor. F'cryin-out-loud, Kirkman, the president can appoint judges when Congress is in recess, so appoint nine justices that will be confirmed or not later. The governor of a state can appoint a senator, so we can at least have some sort...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The nit-picking fanboy in me wanted the original Ditko globes of light surrounding the hands of those incanting, rather than the current representation (I will not describe it for those who haven't seen it yet.) And yes, the pencil mustache was missed~

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Doctor Strange. I thought it was great. Visually stunning. Did they consciously try to re-capture the mind-boggling art of Steve Ditko? Having not read any Doctor Strange beyond the original Ditko-Lee corpus, I might have missed some references from the later versions. Cumberbatch looks very...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The Magnificent Seven, inspired by listening to the Remake This Movie Right podcast. Youngest Shellhammer watched it with me; liked it but thought it dragged in places.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Recently re-watched this at our movie night get together. I was the Chandler/Hammett fan who had to periodically pause the video and explain "That's not in the book, " or "In the book they actually-". They all love me so they put up with me. Regarding how convoluted the plot is, Faulkner and...

    The Memory Worm.

    Ah, the smell of turkey cooking at Thanksgiving takes me vividly back to the big family gatherings while growing up. The memories of Tiki Tom and Fading Fast call to mind the short bittersweet monologue of Everett Sloan as Mr. Bernstein in Citizen Kane, about the young lady he had glimpsed in...

    Agreed on both points. Saw it was on TCM and recorded it. Will watch it very soon.

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    I must have been watching tv at the same time I was typing. The right name is Black Powder bourbon, it's a "value" spirit, lighter than I'd prefer a bourbon. Works fine for a closing out an evening with your feet up.

    Tonight, a Manhattan with Powder River bourbon, Dolan vermouth, and Peychaud's bitters.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The Finest Hours, about the Coast Guard rescue of a tanker's crew. Very much worth a watch.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    My Man Godfrey, at our movie night. I had forgotten how good the dialogue and story is. Favorite moment is Eugene Pallette slowly looking at Powell and asking, "Who are you?"

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    For our movie night, it was John Jacob rye, neat.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Last week worked through our usual fare of dvr-ed shows: Blacklist, Bluebloods, Designated Survivor, Agents of SHIELD (youngest Shellhammer completely jawed up over Ghost Rider on the show)

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    Brother in law is married to a Canadian, so they get two Thanksgivings. I'm throughly jealous.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I have raved about Paths of Glory some time back. I remember going to see it at the Balboa here in southern California and being emotionally floored. The roving camera in the Douglas-Menjou conversation is astounding; it moves with the characters, glides, swivels, dances. If I remember...

    We also watch it on Halloween with friends; brother- and sister in-law as well. We laugh till tears roll down our faces.

    Not real fancy, but 7 and 7.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I saw the film in a revival house in Anaheim, near Disneyland, about 1972. What a creeeeeeepy movie.
