The Wilfred finale did that to me. It wasn't just a letdown; I was furious for days.

Twil and I have just completed The Leftovers.

Thank god. What an ordeal. She loved it, I endured it . I kept waiting for it to coalesce into some recognizable narrative arc that included the initial premise, but no .

The acting and production values are excellent, but the story just never gelled for me.

Also just finished The Night Of, also on HBO. This one was excellent however. Recommended.

Made the mistake of watching "Ellen" a film from England.

Fucked up. 0/10 would not recommend.

We are about to watch Galavant on Netflix. I missed a lot of them due to getting high, so now I'm gonna get high and binge watch them. I'm especially looking forward to Weird Al.

*Totally* worth it!

And getting high is probably fun too.

NSFW, because, Afroman.

Let's see...we've watched CSI...Vegas, Miami, and New York. We've actually been through Miami 3 times between our 2 apartments. Law & Order the same--original, SVU, and Criminal Intent. Currently I'm gnawing my way through the early seasons of Supernatural, and I'm planning to start Merlin soon as someone I like is a huge fan and I want to see if their taste in TV is anything like mine. Pretty soon we'll also be going back through the first 6 seasons of Game of Thrones to keep us amused until season 7 actually happens.

Oh wow, you've never seen Supernatural?! You are absolutely going to become a fangirl over it, trust me. You fit the profile to a T (and I don't mean that in a negative way, I just get a huge amount of fun trying to figure out how personality patterns translate into TV/movie preferences, and believe me... you, personally, will become completely addicted to this show. I'm going to say around season 4.)

Recently finished The Get Down.

O. M. G.

Baz Lurhman of Moulin Rouge fame has left his mark on this musicgasm. Season two is something to look forward to, while I re watch season one.

Do you like hip hop? R&B? NYC? Watch this.

You know me pretty well, how susceptible am I to the guiles of Supernatural?

You'd like it enough to watch all of it with TWIL, but you wouldn't binge it by yourself.

I watched the first two eps of that and it didn't really catch me. I didn't particularly take to the two brothers. But I think I should probably give it more of a go. God knows enough of the shows I've adored over the years have had a rocky beginning.

I probably should have given it a go during the tv lean season instead of fannying about with online surveys during my downtime....*




* so I did a bunch of surveys for about 6 weeks,and earned almost enough Amazon vouchers to buy mum a kindle. I had to put £10 towards and spent another £13 on a charger plug.

£59 of vouchers, and all I had to do was whore out my personal data to the entire interwebz and spend hours and hours a week answering questions about toiletry brands or my attitude to travel and so forth.

I did that for a year and made a grand total of $45.00.

Finally watching Jessica Jones. Excellent show.

Couldn't agree more.

Just watched Benedict Cumberbatch as Alan Turing in The Imitation Game. Goddamn he is good. Made me cry, obviously, because it's such an incredibly tragic story.

Blacklist

I can't deal with James Spader. There's something about him that gives me serious shudders.

that's the point, isn't it? I have no idea who he is/what he's done prior to this. it's a slight departure for me, but has grabbed my attention for when I'm waiting for other shit to happen/ chilling finishing my beer before bed

I don't clearly remember the movie Sex Lies and Videotape, but I remember that he was in it and his character completely gave me the heebs. He really creeped me out in a repulsive sort of way.

I should probably watch it again just to examine what sore spot he was poking in me, and see if there is something about me... actually, yeah No. It's Spader. He's creepy.

You people are speaking ill of one of the finest actors of our generation...!

His character's deep awkwardness in SL&V was supposed to creep you out, that's why it did. That was a brilliant portrayal of a broken person...

Spader is one of my favorite actors. It's a little odd, because I couldn't stand him before Boston Legal. I absolutely loved his character in Boston Legal. Blacklist is was pretty good, I haven't seen it in a couple seasons, though.

He plays awkward very well. Re: Stargate (the movie).

Precisely the example I was going to use, Grav--why did he skeeve me out in Stargate as well? That character is supposed to be adorkable, and the movie as a whole is great, but somehow he bugged me even back then.

He is not too bright either. He could have been on the Stargate series, but held out for too much money. By the way I have watched all the episodes 2-3 times.

tarheel

Clod, you may not want to watch Secretary, with Spader and Maggie Gyllenhaal. Then again, ya might.;)

Here's the trailer. It's quirky.

It's delightful. I own two copies. A delightful display of the power of consent.

Interestingly, the video that plays after the trailer (thanks for the link, Gravdigr) is the whole movie!

I could watch this all day

:lol2:

Depending on mood:

Supernatural (late in Season 5)
Forensic Files
Unusual Suspects
Anything new on Smithsonian Earth--2nd best $4 a month we spend on entertainment (commercial-free Hulu is the best $4 a month!)

New shows we vulture around Hulu for new episodes of:
South Park
The Goldbergs
Archer (still waiting for another season with fingers crossed)
We were watching the new Muppets until it straight up vanished :(.
American Horror Story

Once it's released we'll also be gathering around dinner to watch Game of Thrones. We have the first 5 seasons on DVD.

Dark Matter

It seems that I just don't have a lot of time to sit down and watch stuff on Netflix.

I finally got through Stranger Things a few days ago. Loved it. They did a really good job with that one.

There was one point though when a teenage girl decides to crawl into a small slime filled hole in a tree. That seemed unrealistic.

I recently finished up "Planet Earth: The Complete Collection" (Netflix). I liked how the series was divided, the 11 episode titles are:

From Pole To Pole
Mountains
Fresh Water
Caves
Deserts
Ice Worlds
Great Plains
Jungles
The Shallow Seas
Seasonal Forests
Ocean Deep

All were very interesting,but, I think "Caves" was my favorite. They touched on a fish that lives only in caves. Not only that, but, it only lives in waterfalls, waterfalls found in caves. And even more wtf, is that this fish does not live in the pool at the bottom of the waterfall inside a cave, nor does it live above the falls. It lives in the free-fall zone of the waterfall-inside-a-cave, gripping rocks, and climbing, with specialized fins. I want to say it's called a cave angelfish, but, I'm not sure that's correct.

I've also watched some of The Ranch (Netflix, and a Netflix Original, as well). It reunites Ashton Kutcher and Danny Masterson from That 70s Show, and also stars Sam Elliott, Debra Winger, and Elisha Cuthbert.

Having all those stars, you'd think it wouldn't have any choice but to be good. It's awful. It's so bad, it's good. It's either not rehearsed at all, or it's the most over-rehearsed show in history.

Oh, and ladies, ya get to see Sam Elliott in his tidy-whiteys in the second episode. You are welcome.

Just finished bingeing The OA. Very good

likewise, though, it BEGS for season two. like this was... half a season

Season 2 of Fargo and season one of Daredevil. Both excellent.

[quote=Gravdigr;973965]I recently finished up "Planet Earth: The Complete Collection" (Netflix).

I think the BBC is currently filming and/or airing either Planet Earth 2 or Life 2. I have Life and love it love it love it.

I'm gonna cry forever when David Attenborough dies.

We've managed to crawl to about mid-Season 7 of Supernatural, and I've seen the first I think 4 eps of Stranger Things which I am enjoying because the kids are just kids, not annoying plot points. Neighbor and I are also binging on Forensic Files...it's like potato chips for the science-loving parts of our brains! 13+ seasons of 23-minute case histories--some of which are VERY familiar because neighbor and I have watched ALL of CSI Vegas, Miami, and New York, 7 seasons of Bones, All of Law & Order original, SVU, and CI, and most of the original NCIS.

On an unrelated note, coupla years back I was watching a favorite awful creature feature from the 70s (or very very early 80s) called Frogs. The photographer in the canoe looked SO familiar...bout drove me crazy until it hit me..."Wait, why is that brown-haired fella wearing Sam Elliott's eyebrows???" Cuz it's 30-year-old-ish Sam Elliott, who I actually did not recognize without silver hair! He never gets stripped down that I can think of offhand in that one, but I think he falls in the river a couple times.

My sweetie and I have been lurking on Hulu for South Park, The Goldbergs, and Scream Queens, and on YouTube for WatchMojo, CinemaSins, and How It Should Have Ended.

"Frogs"...seen it. Great old creature feature.

Gravdigr, we have a special fondness in our twisted little hearts for creature features :D. We own movies we thought no one had ever heard of! Someone in a chat once tried (and admittedly, it was a helluva good try) to impress me by telling me his girlfriend's favorite creature feature was 'Black Sheep'. Unfortunately he flunked the midterm because he'd never even heard of 'Food of the Gods' (which I will never watch again--too much illegal animal snuff) or 'Night of the Lepus'. Many movie fans identify 'Troll 2' as the worst creature feature ever made.

We own it. And the first one! Most horror fans we've talked to didn't know there really WAS a first one. I have most of the snake features, up to and including 'Snakes on a Train'. The only one I'll never own is 'Stanley'--once again, too much animal snuff although it was made RIGHT before the Humane Society started supervising animal actors of any kind.

As for recent obscure stuff, I did kind of like 'Europa Report'. Also 'Apollo 18'. Mostly, for creature features, these days we watch lots of Godzilla and my neighbor's about to launch a major "Find me Ray Harryhausen movies!" campaign.

We are watching Shameless on Netflix.

'Night of the Lepus', 'Europa Report', 'Apollo 18'...

Seen 'em. My buddy picks some of the worst movies.

I liked the tag line for 'Apollo 18'..."Why we never went back."

Or something.

Just finished season one of Happy Valley. Ain't nobody in that valley happy. Bunch of miserable people

I loved that program. She reminds me of John McClane, a durable badass.

Started Luke Cage. So far so good.

Watched "The End of the Tour" about David Foster Wallace, with Jason Segel and Jesse Eisenberg. Really excellent.

working my way through the big fat quiz of the year 2016

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

That's a funny show. Silly but not as self-congratulatory as 30 Rock.

Jusr watched the first ep of The OA.

awesome.

Also discovered there are more than 2 seasons of Episodes. I'm disappointed Daisy Haggard's character is so one dimensional, it's a waste of her talents. Also the Mangan/Grieg sexual insecurity thing is getting threadbare, hoping things move forward.

I've heard good things about Luke Cage, but he's gonna have to get in line. My "I finally spent my birthday & Christmas gift cards" movie order showed up yesterday :D. Age of Ultron, Guardians of the Galaxy, Ant-Man...and Big Trouble, a movie that manages to be almost as funny as the book despite starring Tim Allen. Of course, it also has Dennis Farina, Patrick Warburton, Heavy D, and Janeane (sp? It's 7:15 and I haven't been sleeping well, too lazy to look it up) Garofolo. That one's been on our "and we don't own this movie WHY?" list for a very long time :D.

Heh.

Tried to watch that w/Momdigr. Everything was cool right up til they showed a couple fucking like two caged bitch minks in heat.:eek: That was a little awkward.

good to know. I'll wait until the kids are in their rooms.

Like the opening scene of Betty Blue.

Awkward first date.

It's like 20 minutes - half an hour into episode one. Haven't gotten back to it yet.

Yeah, that was about it, so far. Seemed gratuitous.

It's the fulcrum of a plot twist... Roll with it.

Watched the Sense8 holiday special It had a lot of fluff. It was 2 hours, but should have been 1 1/2

Just finished the latest season of Halt and Catch Fire. Holy shit this show is so fucking good.

It's about the whole arc of computer technology from 1980 to... the present day I guess, eventually. They've made it to 1990 so far. The period-piece aspects of it are solid, but not overdone. The tech is accurate. But like all good shows, it's really about the relationships, y'know.

Dana, you in particular would adore it.

Judah said the same thing. I clearly have to watch this show.
