Mo is sooo good. Especially Season 2, and especially endearing to Houstonians and Htown sports fans. Such a great show.

Watch it.

  • Here it is, in short. I would need to cross check some things to make sure it is all correct, but this is the story in brief: Some time in March, 1944, the 45th was moving into Germany in near co

I want those falafel tacos

Just watched The Tornado about the 2011 Joplin MO tornado.

They told the story from the viewpoint of five different individuals / groups of people.

Some shocking things they went through. The physical focal point of the documentary was on joplin high school.

I was born in joplin, and my grandmother’s house was 2 blocks south of joplin high school. She was at home when the tornado hit. It side swiped her house on the north side and destroyed it. The doc shows shots of houses torn to nothingness. It’s likely those shots were taken in the streets near her home. 

I called my uncle who lives on the southern outskirts of joplin as the national news broke about it. He drove to her house and couldn’t find her. After the tornado passed, she walked to a neighbor’s house that was mostly standing. She ended up going to the hospital. That’s where my uncle found her. In the documentary, you’ll see one white building standing in a field of destruction; that’s the hospital.

 

Currently watching The Residence, which seems to be a blend of Only Murders in the Building and Knives Out. Each episode’s title hints at an old murder mystery, like The Last of Sheila! The production values are top-notch, and the visuals, particularly the depiction of The White House, where the murder occurs, are impressive. The casting is also commendable. While the pacing does dip at times, I really love the show.

We’re halfway through and very much enjoying it. 

Pretty awesome how they shot it. Each episode is one continuous take.

I had to google it. It's called The Electric State, and it apparently cost $300 million to make. 15% on RT.

Is MBB hot in it though?

That cost 300MM?  I should move to Hollywood and produce really, really shitty movies and sell them to Netflix.  

Just finished Adolescence. The last episode is so intense. Incredible performance by the parents but especially Stephen Graham.
I just assumed that it wasn’t really one take but seamless digital takes stitched together. It’s really impressive.

Here’s a link of bts and how they shot each one. Spoilers obviously.

Just finished Adolescence two nights ago and Im still absolutely wrecked. Maybe because the boy looks just like my nephew but it is absolutely horrifying. 

The 3rd episode the interrogation may be the finest hour of television I've ever witnessed 

Yeah, the wife and I started and finished Adolescence last night. There just wasn't a great stopping point. An absolutely fantastic series. 

I just finished up Adolescence. 

Holy shit that was outstanding.

I noticed the use of one camera and thought that was genius.

That really drew me into the scenes.

But now knowing how the episodes were made, again, outstanding.

I really liked Adolescence, too. I thought episode 4 was a rung below the first three (first half of that episode felt frustratingly slow, but the second half was great). I do feel like they left a lot of meat on the bone with only doing four episodes. Would have loved to have seen more from Jamie, the investigating officer, and an English-version of our DA. 

I don't know. I think it handled it all pretty well.

 

Jamie pleads guilty because he finally accepts what he did or he realizes he can't beat the case. DI Bascombe realizes he needs to be more in tune with his son and what's going on in his life so he makes the effort to go spend time with him. The case was pretty cut and dry with the tape so there wasn't much to do but charge Jamie. Episode 3 really stuck with me because the psychologist knew there was nothing that could be done to help Jamie and that seems like one of the most depressing jobs in the world especially when it clicked that Jamie has angry breaks with reality and then returns to being sorry for what just happened. My only nitpick would be they never featured the victim's family other than DS Frank saying no one will remember Katie and only will remember what Jamie did. Jade was also a very tragic ending as you see her being all alone like she said would happen now that Katie is dead. They did a great job of making you think she deserved punishment to instantly making you sympathise with how f'ed up her life is. 

Great performance by Stephen Graham who I kept wondering where I had seen him before. He was Tommy in Snatch.

The kid that did it in real life doesn't look anything like the kid in the show (hint: he's not white)

I hadn’t even noticed the discussion on adolescence here. I started it last night and watched the entire series. 

The episode where they go to the store was amazing. One continuous take- house, drive, store, drive, house. And the emotional shifts were incredible.

Started the first two episodes of Adolescence last night. Really "enjoying" it so far.

I think the single-shot per episode is ambitious and impressive, but it's got its drawbacks. Particularly in the chase scene where the detective and the kid are "sprinting" at half-speed so the steady cam operator can keep up and film the action. It looked ridiculous and was very distracting. 

Got back into Prison Break.  Final season, they have to break this chick.....wait for it.....out of another prison.... 

damn.  sounds like we've got to add Adolescence to the queue.

Stephen Graham is still Al Capone to me.

I got bored with The Residence after 3 episodes. Just so drawn out.

The young man playing Jamie has a great career ahead of him.

Oscars and Emmy in his future.

I really liked 1,3 and 4. Episode 2 was the weak one for me.

I always think he is Marky Mark's brother from that 90s boy band.

If you like Traitors, check out Million Dollar Secret.  Another entertaining witch hunt.

just started this three episode documentary “gold & greed: the hunt for fenn’s treasure”. this redneck family is cracking me up, and stuff like this is right up my alley: just a bunch of crack pots living their most earnest lives, on the hunt for treasure and fame. 30 minutes in and so far so good.

wow. the redneck family are just living breathing emblems of dunning-kruger. i found them fascinating. 

edited to add: the way that they “interacted” with “mr.fenn”, eg speaking directly to him when filming themselves, and feeling like “mr.fenn” cared about them and wanted good for them, was just so eerily similar to so many maga people and donald trump. this personal relationship that they’ve created in their heads and hearts- it’s just wild.

lol, the airline pilot in the treasure hunt docuseries has the most “teenager” teenager ever. that kid megaloathes that his dad is making him do this. 

Enjoying Dark Winds after 2 episodes.

We love it. Current season on amc is great.

Episode 3 of Adolescence is an award-winner. Series was a horror show if you are a parent of a young kid.

I binged this last night /this morning. I’m kinda wondering how I missed this 10 year thing. Maybe I heard about it and then forgot about it.

The clues for the next hunt are intriguing. Lots of numbers being dropped.

Just finished that episode, and I am absolutely grateful my girls are of age.

Amazing achievement in filming. And, just brutal.

 

Life list not bad. Just another cheesy cute Sofia Carson flick
 

Coach Taylor’s wife in it. She’s a mom.

It's terrible.  The OG is fantastic though.

I’m watching the 2008 one.  That’s the og?

Not sure when they came out.  The original Cocaine Cowboys about Miami and Griselda Blanco is fantastic.  The second with that low rent drug dealer from California and his prison romance with Griselda is awful.

1/3 of the way through Adolescence. The acting is really solid, especially the kid who plays Jamie.

 

Stephen Graham (the dad) will always be Tommy to me.

Just finished adolescence…holy fuck…the most traumatizing thing I’ve ever watched.

so, honestly, how do you film a show in one take like this? i can’t wrap my head around it.
