    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Most recent Agents of SHIELD. Working through the Poldark series on Amazon. Finished Wolf Hall. Rylance's Cromwell was (to me) a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. Motivated by self-preservation? Yearning for power? Deal with a dysfunctional childhood?

    Indiana Jones V

    Came to this thread a little late, but I must say, Hear, hear!

    Your signature cocktail.

    Over about a year, a Boston Sidecar has evolved into Mrs. Shellhammer's cocktail of choice. I prefer a martini or a Manhattan, rotating rye and bourbon to keep things lively.

    Agent Carter

    We fell behind on watching, so took about a week and a half to catch up via dvr. The musical number was great, and the Carter-Sousa "good bye" broke the tension in a big way. The gizmo Stark worked up to control the Black Space Goo looked like a leftover prop from a Captain Kangaroo show: the...

    Joe Mannix?

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Agreed~ some of the performances in that film take you completely out of the "I'm watching a movie" mode. It's remarkable that a "coming home" story at the end of the war had the courage to show the lasting damage, beyond the physical, that war had on those men. It didn't soft sell the...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Agent Carter, looking for the taxi cab; thought I saw it parked on the street in the distance. My wife really likes the fashions, though she's not a fan of the Golden Age; some of the suits are great, and the ties look excellent. Someone posted that this is the final season. Aw, shucks...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Buckaroo Banzai is one of the weirdest, hippest, most multi-layered movies ever made. Cool and yet clunky at the same time...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Crown Royal Black, sipped with friends while watching a movie with William Powell drinking like a fish.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Another Thin Man, for movie night get-together. We all agreed this would be last one in the series we would watch, as the general consensus is that the quality drops off after this one. Still a good entry in the series, with snappy chat, a complicated whodunnit, and a bit part with Shemp Howard(!).

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Doctor, you hit it on the head~ I went into the movie hoping Bird's storytelling and directing skills would make for an enjoyable experience, but it seemed like it never jelled; more than that, it was like four or five stories being told at the same time.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Spread out over the dvr and the streaming service this week was Downtown Abbey, Agent Carter, and then Flash for the Missus and Youngest Shellhammer. We finished the Christy series on dvd (watching a tv show on dvd is acceptable, right?) and started Road to Avonlea, S1E1. Got the box set with...

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    This really makes me sad. Bob and Ray were without equals for spot-on satire and for creating and maintaining absurd characters. Few utilized the medium of radio as well as they did. They were hilarious even when they just talked about the trivialities of life.

    Movie Theater luxuries

    Agreed! Some films should be seen on the big screen. Others will have to wait for the more-easily controlled environment of my family room with the big screen, speakers, clean and close-by bathrooms, and the absence of chatterers. I do like epics and science fiction movies in the theatre, as...

    The Man in the High Castle

    Found my old paperback copy of the book and started re-reading it. Sometimes the I Ching passages are hard to follow by someone who doesn't understand how it works. The alternate history has more details, usually given through interior monologues and some conversations, very little given through...

    Agent Carter

    There seems to be too many stories going on at once. But I still like the commendable effort to replicate the '40s, especially some of the cars. The red and yellow taxi cab shows up from time to time. Noticed a movie marquee with "Tales to Astonish" as the feature. Kid Colt reference very cool...

    One of my all time favorites- the gags and the quips never stop

    Manhattan, with John Jacob Rye and Dolin vermouth.
