Re: All Things Video Thread (Movie or TV)
If you're a Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law) fan it appears the third movie will be out next December (2021). It's been quite a while but they plan on making it better than the first two which, IMO, will be tough to do if you've enjoyed the first two. Looking forward.

IMO, yes. Try to watch the first two if you can. You might be able to get them through Vudu or they might replay them before the new season.

It appears that the Moriarty character will return as well even though there was no reason to believe he would (except that we had reason since Sherlock appeared to have survived the the fall in which they were both plunged into the long fall into the cold waterfall. Just caught this today.

Re: All Things Video Thread (Movie or TV)
Mrs. BEvans I just watched After Life on Netflix. Ricky Gervais is a newspaper writer who just lost his wife to cancer and his Dad has Alzheimer's. And it's a comedy--a dark comedy, one that's very dark in some places, but still a comedy and ultimately very sweet. The first 2 seasons are 12 episodes or so. Very good IMHO.

Just watched Chariots of Fire (Mrs. BEvans' favorite movie) on TCM the other night. He plays the role of Sam Mussabini, Harold Abrahams' coach, in that movie--excellent, as he was in everything I saw him do. RIP.

Good recommendation...aside from some language. Apparently the C word is used with some frequency in Britian

Have you watched Outer Banks on NF? Wife asked me about it yesterday, she had heard it wasn’t bad?

Rewatched the John Adams miniseries this weekend. Becoming an annual tradition for me. Exceptional watching.

Mrs. BEvans read the books and wanted to watch the show. I resisted but I've enjoyed the last couple of seasons.

All Things Video Thread (Movie or TV)
I started binge watching The Good Wife a couple of months ago. I thought it was really good until a main character died. Since then, it has been meh. Contemplating abandoning it in Season 6 before finishing (7 seasons).
I hate to not finish, but I also hate to waste my time too. I may start The Good Fight next.

I was like that early on with Dexter. It took a bad turn when his girlfriend died IMO, was OK for a while after that, then started shark jumping.

As someone who watched the last 2 seasons of How I Met Your Mother out of a mixed sense of hate (of how they'd screwed up the show) and commitment (I'd put in all this time, i wanted to see it through), my advice is to bail out now.
(But I hear good things about The Good Fight.)

Which is why I won't sit through new Star Trek, or a fair amount of Star Wars, or Dr. Who, or a host of other things, I get it.

After watching Bloodline and Ozark, are there any other similar recommendations for Netflix?

Re: All Things Video Thread (Movie or TV)
Batching it until Friday so this weekend I was watching things that don't fit into the Venn diagram intersection of what I like and what Mrs. BEvans likes:
--Crimson Tide: hadn't seen it in years and I'd forgotten what a fun suspense movie it is with great acting--Gene Hackman, Denzel Washington (he looked really young!), Viggo Mortensen, James Gandolfini, even a young Steve Zahn. For the first time I saw it from the CO's (Gene Hackman's) point of view. I know it's set in a post-Cold War period, but this movie and Hunt For Red October are the 2 great Cold War sub movies, IMHO.
--Ken Burns Baseball documentary: I miss sports, and I miss the way baseball used to be.
--The Right Stuff: "Sir...is that a man?" "Yeah, you're damn right it is!" Gets me every time.
--They Shall Not Grow Old, a WWI documentary on HBO. Peter Jackson takes old footage, applies a combination of colorization, CGI and overdubbing and puts you right there in the trenches. It's hard to describe but absolutely memorable.

ESPN airing the Eagles Live At The Forum again tonight at 9:00 est... Vince Gill and Glen Frys son join the band... it’s really worth a watch if you’re a Eagles fan. Or if you like music, that band is tight.

Don't know if you've had a chance to see "History of the Eagles"--if not, it's definitely worth a watch. An excellent documentary told by the band members themselves--heavy on Frey and Henley's recollection, but also the others. It's been on the various streaming services over the years, but not sure if it's on streaming now.
