The final season premier of Game of Thrones is next Sunday night.

[badrose]

The premiere date for the 2nd season of Yellowstone is June 19th. It will have one more episode than last season's with ten.

[badrose]

Killing Eve continues with its great story telling.

I just read that a new iteration of Death on the Nile will be hitting theaters in the fall of 2020 with a strong list of actors.

The Enemy Within is a great show and keeps getting better. It's on NBC so you might be able to catch up.

The new season of Bosch is up on Amazon Prime Video.

Mrs. BEvans and I are watching the heck out of The Last Kingdom on Netflix right now. We watched a few episodes and it was good but very violent, which she has a tough time with. We got back into it and blew through Season 2 over the weekend and watching Season 3 now. A lot of artistic license but fairly close to what we have for the historical record at that time (late 800s).

[badrose]

John Wick 3 will be in theaters May 17th. I've seen the first two via 4K Blu-ray and will probably go that route again. Saves $$$ and and can be watched over and over.

This one could be fun a la Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

I like Anne Hathaway, but at the risk of sounding sexist, what's the deal with all these lady remakes? Lady Ghostbusters, Lady Oceans 11, Lady What Women Want, Lady Big, now Lady Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. (I might even throw Captain Marvel into that category, but I don't know enough about the comic book history of that vs. Shazam to say.) If I were a woman I'd feel a little condescended to, as if they can't come up with any independent ideas for movies with strong women leads.

I get that but I'm hoping they can put their own spin on it. Plus I like the fact that it's just the two as opposed to those with the larger numbers. In any case, I'll know more by waiting for the blu-ray.

Once in a while you gotta revisit the classics. I'm going with Stripes today.

Lighten up, Francis.

I know! If the writers were going for big surprises they exceeded.

Plus, the writers are masters at “leave you hang’n”. You have to watch the next episode...

I’m sorry I’m watching in real time, the past seasons I binged watched and would watch 2-3 episodes at a time. Now that I’m caught up, I can’t seem to force myself to record 2-3 and then watch them later.

The 3rd season of Sneaky Pete is coming 5/10 on Amazon Prime. It's a pretty good show.

Deadwood: The Movie trailer

Somehow Mrs. BEvans has gotten into a Turkish show with English subtitles on Netflix called Seyit and Sura. It's a soap-operaish love story/family drama that starts in WWI and continues into the 20s. I don't know how she found it or why she keeps watching it, but it gives me a chance to do other stuff, I guess.

Sounds like a second TV is in order. That is unless other stuff is better.

We have one, but it's weird. If I leave the room to watch something else, she'll turn off the show she's watching, which is not what I want her to do. So I usually sit with her and read KSR or pick up a book, something like that. She has 10 more episodes to watch and she'll roll through those pretty quickly at her rate.

Now watching Bull Durham from the Criterion Collection.

^Best baseball movie ever. And so quotable.

Kevin Costner was in Field of Dreams as well. Come to think of it, I don't think he's done anything I didn't like.

Crash Davis: This son of a bitch is throwing a two-hit shutout. He's shaking me off. You believe that ****? Charlie, here comes the deuce. And when you speak of me, speak well.

Dusting off The Silence of the Lambs this morning, one of the best movies ever. I wish Jodie Foster had done Hannibal, a sequel, but wasn't available. They should have waited although Julianne Moore did a decent job. Anthony Hopkins owned the Hannibal Lecter character.

[badrose]

Field of Dreams' 30th anniversary is coming out with a 4K release next week. I remember getting the tape sometime in the '90's and took it on our trip to visit mom and dad. At the end of the movie I looked over at my dad and he had tears in his eyes. I could imagine what was going on in his mind but I didn't say anything, he just continued to look straight ahead.. It could have been thoughts of his own dad who worked in the coal mines and had not much time for anything else. Whatever it was, it touched him and it was rare to see him that way. On our next visit I'd bought him a glove and we played catch. He seemed to relish that.

[KSRBEvans]

^I haven't been able to watch Field of Dreams since my Dad died in 2008. Some of our best times were playing catch in the back yard and bonding over baseball. Maybe this year will be the year.

So now apparently they're going to do a Lady Cliffhanger:

I think Hollywood's officially out of ideas.

Somehow I think it will lose money.

A few years back I posted a link to an article about the coming fall of Hollywood. Sad really, since technology is capable of doing so much more now. We still get a few each year but it's nothing like 30-40 years ago when B-movies were better than what we're currently being dished.
