    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Of course, Gene Roddenberry was a hardcore secular humanist who considered all religions to be dangerous, counterproductive superstitions, so it's very odd that this episode ends with a pro-Christian message. Probably they were working so hard to get episodes finished by airtime that he...

    Dunkirk - I've just seen it

    Well, at my age, a decade doesn't seem long anymore.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I watched Woody Allen's Amazon show, Crisis in Six Scenes. I'm an Allen completist, so I had to. That doesn't mean you have to. I found it weak and disappointing. Not recommended.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    On the other hand, totally ignoring how much travel/building/etc. time passes between settings/sequences is giving us a season where things happen quickly. I love this show, but it was stuck slowly gyrating plots through its second act at a snail's pace for over three seasons. And I am more...

    Dunkirk - I've just seen it

    I also liked Hacksaw Ridge a lot, despite Mel Gibson. Japanese under-represented? What about Undefeated? The Railway Man? And let's remember that Clint Eastwood directed not one, but two excellent films about Iwo Jima a few years back.

    Thoughts on Schott 654 lightweight cafe racer?

    We recently discussed the Schott 654 and similar jackets: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/thin-lightweight-cafe-racer-jacket.90501/

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    A fascinating documentary on PBS about photographer Rowland Scherman, whose name I didn't know, but many of whose photos from the 1960s are famous and familiar. He shot the Peace Corps, the Kennedys, the March On Washington, The Beatles, Dylan, a bunch of other musicians, Woodstock... what a...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    All I said was that I was surprised that I didn't enjoy it as much as I recalled from an earlier viewing. It's a fine film and a good adaptation of the novel. It just didn't grab me like many of the other Merchant Ivory films do. (I mean, I think Hopkins and Thompson give more interesting and...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Yeah, it can be a bit slow at points and repetitive (with the you've-gone-too-far-fight-separate-come-back-together-and-forgive cycle that characterized their marriage), but with the season only being five hours, it doesn't overstay its welcome. I found the best scenes are those that include...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I watched most of the 1992 version of Howard's End, which I hadn't seen in twenty-ish years and don't really remember. I did this partly to prepare for the forthcoming miniseries adaptation with Hayley Atwell...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I binged the first season of Amazon's Z: The Beginning of Everything - about Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald. This is a "novelistic" treatment rather than a docudrama, so it shouldn't all be taken as factual... and I'm not sufficiently up on the Fitzgeralds to comment on its accuracy (though upon...

    To beard or not to beard?

    I haven't shaved since 1974, so it's pretty clear where I stand.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Excellent film, though I found Emily Blunt and Amy Adams (as much as I love both of them) just a little hard to accept as sisters. But that's my own problem, not the film's. Miss Sloane... A heavy Washington lobbyist drama with Jessica Chastain and a great supporting cast (Mark Strong...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Theatrically: Spider-Man: Homecoming. Better than expected, lots of fun. A solid addition to the MCU. Cable: Hacksaw Ridge. Also better than expected, with a fine performance by ex-Spider-Man Andrew Garfield. Good direction by Mel Gibson, who only slightly indulges his usual...

    WONDER WOMAN

    Well, duh. Just watched the new trailer for Justice League... which features Diana more prominently than before, a testament to the success of WW. (Superman is still missing... Really? Who do they think they're fooling?!?)

    Spider-Man: Homecoming. Better than I expected, really entertaining and clever.

    The BFG. Spielberg does Disney. Okay, but too long.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Rogue One, the latest Star Wars film, the one that's not part of the numbered main series. I didn't like it at all, and am glad I'd decided not to see it theatrically last year. The characters were way too sketchily explained, the digitally-raised-from-the-dead Peter Cushing was Uncanny Valley...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I've also long been impressed with her... but she REALLY tamps down her usual charm and grace in this part. This character is so miserable, conflicted, insecure, panicky, and unattractive that it's a huge stretch for Hall... and she's excellent. Entirely different from the other roles I've...
