January 22, 20214 yr Tried to watch The Sound of Metal with the wife this week because it looks good but I couldn’t make it past about 15minutes...I have tinnitus and the effect they were using in the movie even in just the first act was fucking with my head. That movie felt like it was triggering a bad day out of the blue, even after we started watching something else my ears and head were fucking with me.Told my wife jokingly that I’m gonna have to watch it muted with subtitles if I ever plan on finishing it.
January 22, 20214 yr Has Other Music been mentioned? Cool doc about the history and closing of a beloved indie record store in NYC.
January 22, 20214 yr I wanted something entertaining but kind of chill last night. A rewatch of The Detectorists fit the bill. So well done. Simon and Garfunkel always deliver. Just saw @Post Oak beat me to it, great minds, etc. Edited January 22, 20214 yr by Mach 1

I have it as well (thanks US Army, or shitty fucking Walkman knockoff headphones, or both!). I was intrigued by it, and it's in my queue, but will have to keep it muted. May have to get the wife to watch so she knows just what the hell it's like, and why I get pissed when something really sets it off.
January 24, 20214 yr Dammit, I can't believe I just found Red Oaks. I feel like whoever writes that show must have grown up with me. Edited January 24, 20214 yr by Beau Vine

She didn't understand any of the innuendo in the commentary; just liked watching people fall. She was home from grad school over Christmas and we watched some. After about 10 minutes, she said "I can't believe y'all used to let me watch this."

January 26, 20214 yr Avoiding giving much away but they did a great job setting scenes similar to Breaking Bad. So how much of this show (Zero Zero Zero) is in Spanish or Italian? Seemed like 80% of Episode 1. That was too much for me

It definitely shows the evil side of the drug industry in a more specific way than other series like Narcos, which was also excellent.
January 27, 20214 yr The BBC production Charles II with Rupert Everett was well done. But then I love period pieces. Lots of good actors early in their careers in it. Started Dickensian tonight.
January 28, 20214 yr Watched The Hundred-Foot Journey about a Indian cook and his family moving to France. It’s predictable but it’s a feel good fun watch and it’s only on prime till the end of the month.

January 28, 20214 yr Endeavour is a fantastic show. I am in the middle of season two and really like the cast. Qyburn from Game of Thrones is the police chief of Oxford City and the show is built around DC Endeavour Morse. The season is four episodes and each is 90 minutes long. It’s a PBS Masterpiece Theatre show and what I appreciate about it is how the two main characters interact and relate almost as a father and son duo. I am really enjoying the British shows I have watched and the acting is just superb.Fantastic show indeed. Is Inspector Morse available anywhere? I haven’t been able to find it.

January 29, 20214 yr One Night in Miami is exceedingly good and a heck of directorial debut. Cool movie. I could see a Broadway adaptation.

February 1, 20214 yr I wanted to like Leave No Trace, but I can't recommend it because I couldn't stay awake when I tried to watch it. It's *really* slow.

February 1, 20214 yr Flack was pretty funny. I was opposed to watching it because I dislike Paquin but I gave it a shot and it had some good laughs.

February 6, 20214 yr On 1/15/2021 at 11:00 PM, Brothahorn said: If you haven't already watched it try Inspector Morse. Endeavor is the prequel. I saw a lot of PBS as a kid because we did not have cable, but it was either the educational shows or later on I got into "Are You Being Served?" which is still one of the funniest shows I have ever watched. It was way ahead of its time. I am definitely going to watch Inspector Morse though. Right now I just began season six of Endeavour. Season five was amazing. I cannot think of anything about that season that was not done really well. The storylines are interesting and they give you just enough of their personal life without bombarding you with it. But yes I will watch the original once I finish season seven. I find the British detective shows to be extremely well done. I like Morse and DI Thursday the most out of the characters. You can feel the chemistry they have with each other. Edited February 6, 20214 yr by UpperWestside
February 9, 20214 yr Watching The Great Escapists with Richard Hammond and Tori Belleci. It's pretty much a mashup of Top Gear and Mythbusters stranded on a deserted island. Plenty of lulz.
February 9, 20214 yr Finished season six of Endeavour. What a fantastic ending to the season that was! Looks like I have to pay for the season seven episodes, but that seems to be completely worth it considering how good this show is.
February 10, 20214 yr Danger Close. Anzacs in Viet Nam. True story. Pretty good war movie. Reminds me a bit of We Were Soldiers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Long_Tan
February 10, 20214 yr Prime definitely wins on war docs/movies. Been several nights I've been sucked into a documentary Wyrme hole. Last night it was the Rwandan genocide. Great doc about 600 refugee Rwandans who trained in the jungles then returned to fuck shit up. Called "The 600" of course.

It's available for purchase for 7.99 for all three episodes. I bought it and am going to start watching it tonight. Watch Endeavour, Season 7 | Prime Video (amazon.com)
February 10, 20214 yr The original UK version of Utopia is far superior to the American version that came out a few months ago. Really excellent, 2 seasons of 6 episodes. They set up a third season but looks like it was canceled a few years ago.
February 11, 20214 yr I’m rewatching all the seasons of Bosch. Just great! Season 7 will be their final season whenever it comes out.

Watch Endeavour, Season 7 | Prime Video (amazon.com)I thought there was something weird with that when I tried it. Like they aren’t real episodes or something.
February 12, 20214 yr 1 hour ago, tbone_ said: I thought there was something weird with that when I tried it. Like they aren’t real episodes or something. They're there. I watched two of the three thus far. Seeing the character development of Bright and Thursday in these two episodes has been interesting to watch, among other things.
February 12, 20214 yr For documentary/educational shit, cop a buzz and check “The Reef” out. It’s PBS stuff and pretty decent. Semi aside here, but what’s up with the “prime” shit that is sponsored or whatever the fuck by IMBD and has fucking commercials? Ran across one of those the other day and said fuck this noise. Wasn’t a great show or anything, and would have watched without the commercials. Add those fucking commercials in though and I didn’t care enough to watch it that damn bad.
