Re: All Things Video Thread (Movie or TV)
Seen over the last week:
--Guardians of the Galaxy: Didn't really like it. Got to a good place at the end, but I didn't like the journey. Rocket's origin story grossed me out and made me sad.
--A Man Called Otto: Really liked it. It was faithful to the original (A Man Called Ove) but was different enough that it was enjoyable. Tom Hanks was awesome, as always.
--Ted Lasso: Season (series?) finale was last night. This episode was the best of what I think was an uneven season 3. It was very good, as was the next-to-last episode, with lots of callbacks to the start. If I rewatch the series in the future, I'll probably watch the first 2 seasons and jump right to the last 2 episodes of season 3.U really think players are going to duke without being paid over Kentucky?--Gilbert Arenas, 9/12/19

MAX has Murder at Carter County Mines. Carter County, Kentucky. Wasn’t great but wasn’t bad.

Re: All Things Video Thread (Movie or TV)
Don't know if this is something for all Millenials, but my kids love some classic 70s and 80s TV shows. They both love Matlock and Golden Girls, and the daughter has discovered The Love Boat. We watched 2 episodes last night--one had Billy Crystal and the other had Vincent Prince. They were funnier than I expected!
Neither watches any current network TV--it's basically Netflix and classic TV.Last edited by KSRBEvans; 07-21-2023 at 07:42 AM.

Binge watched all of the Indiana Jones movies last weekend. I had forgotten how campy they all were, but they were a good tune up for the upcoming final movie of that series.

Re: All Things Video Thread (Movie or TV)
TV died last week. It was 13 years old, so can't complain.
We spent almost $1000 (on sale) on that 46 inch TV in 2009. Ordered a 50 inch TV, 4K, UHD, Roku built in, delivered to the door today for $299. America is already great.U really think players are going to duke without being paid over Kentucky?--Gilbert Arenas, 9/12/19

Re: All Things Video Thread (Movie or TV)
Had almost the same experience you had, BEvans. We had a 42" Philips that was on its last legs (we had to keep it on 24/7, or else, it was a real bear to get "booted up" again), and I think we spent like $800 on sale for it. Got a 55" JVC 4k UHD 2160p HDR Roku for $248 from Wally World last week. We aren't big audio/video people; a standard TV is fine for us, but the speaker was so awful that we picked up an inexpensive sound bar from Amazon to add to it, and now it's great.
Funny thing--I remember getting the 42" TV and remarking how light it was, compared to the old TVs with picture tubes. I didn't weigh the TVs, but the Philips is significantly heavier than the JVC, which is light as a feather.

Re: All Things Video Thread (Movie or TV)
I have a 55” Samsung sitting in the corner of my basement that I’ve been pondering how to get rid of. The LED reflectors or whatever they are started to slide down behind the screen, leaving white spots. It’s not that old—probably 10 years give or take but it was on all the time in my son’s room and that might just be the life expectancy for a flat screen tv now? I guess I’ll wait for junk day and put it out on the curb.

If you've never seen Band of Brothers or The Pacific because you didn't have HBO, both are now on Netflix. Both are sensational.

Re: All Things Video Thread (Movie or TV)
My wife and I started watching Broadchurch again last night, season 1. I've seen all 3 seasons; she's never seen it. I enjoy, after a period of time, going back and rewatching things like that, even though I know how it ends, as I look for different things. She was unsure about it before we started. We watched 4 episodes (season 1 is 8) last night and she wanted to watch more, but it was 11 p.m. and I had to work this morning lol.
We'll watch the final 4 episodes tonight. I'll try to get it started before 7. Fortunately, I have it without commercials, so each episode is about 45 minutes, and should be done by 10.

Re: All Things Video Thread (Movie or TV)
Watched the first half of the last season of The Crown. (It's odd how they're doing it. They released half of the season, but only week by week, not all at once. Then they make you wait a month before they dribble out the last half, week by week. Gotta keep those subscriptions up, I guess.) It was interesting but dark--it was the events leading up to and including Diana's death. Not happy-happy fun stuff.
Why did I watch it? I liked the earlier seasons, probably because I didn't know as much about the other UK in the 50s.U really think players are going to duke without being paid over Kentucky?--Gilbert Arenas, 9/12/19

Watching For All Mankind on Apple TV+. It's an alternate history show that starts in July, 1969 with a different kind of landing on the moon and a continued space race. Really good.

Prime Video will now include commercials starting Jan 29:
https://www.usatoday.com/story/money...s/72039099007/
First they raise the Prime rates, then they degrade the viewing experience. I'm sure the $2.99/month ad-free tier will go up over time.
Boiling frogs.
