If you love (or miss) Monty Python you can buy the entire series now.

(it appears to be recorded in Norwegian) I just caught that. English subtitles.

New season of Shameless started last Sunday

[KSRBEvans]

Season 3 of The Crown is now on Netflix. Different actors for the main characters, and that takes some getting used to. But 3 episodes in it's still a good watch.

[blueboss]

Mr Mercedes season 3 just wrapped up on Audience... not bad. They haven’t announced whether there will be a season 4 yet.

Since they own everything it's a fair bet they have something for everyone.

Ha, you would think but not really. If you love all things Marvel and Star wars it is great. But it is mostly stuff you have seen. They will have some original content, but it will be slow to roll out.

The other audience is kids and cartoons. Which is the reason I bought it. I like the above, but it is mostly for my girls.

Only G - PG 13 content will be on there. Their rated R stuff will be on Hulu eventually. But price is the big deal. I just don't see how Netflix can compete long term. Disney plans to bundle this with Hulu and ESPN+ for the same price as the middle Netflix plan.

I don't see me having Netflix in a year

[KSRBEvans]

Disney's doing a thing right now where they're packaging Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ for $12.99/month. I was thinking about it, holding out to see if something better gets offered for Black Friday.

Just saw the new Midway movie over the weekend and loved it. Highly recommend watching it.
Donna my wife, who is more a Hallmark movie fan, loved it too. She said she could barely eat her popcorn for fear of missing something important. The acting is at least as good or better than any war movie from the past. Imo everyone of the people below deserve an award for giving a historically accurate and moving peformance. And very surprisingly, Woody Harrelson actually became Chester Nimitz with a tremendous acting job. They took this serious and if you liked the old Midway, these gals and guys, in spite of the historic actors in the original, took it to a whole new level imo.


Ed Skrein ...Dick Best
Patrick Wilson...Edwin Layton
Woody Harrelson...Chester W. Nimitz
Luke Evans...Wade McClusky
Mandy Moore...Ann Best
Luke Kleintank...Clarence Dickinson
Dennis Quaid...William 'Bull' Halsey
Aaron Eckhart...Jimmy Doolittle
Keean Johnson...James Murray
Nick Jonas...Bruno Gaido
Etsushi Toyokawa...Isoroku Yamamoto

..and many more solid performers

Looks like a great cast.

We have an informal tradition that we don't watch Christmas shows until Thanksgiving. Starting after the Macy's parade, my son watched Elf, Home Alone, Miracle on 34th Street and A Muppet Christmas Carol (an underrated version of the story--Michael Caine is really good).

The son is working retail during the Christmas season, so I don't blame him for trying to get a booster of Christmas goodwill.

Watching Christmas Vacation right now on network television.

[kingcat]

Watched CV at eight last night myself while installing live tree lights. A tradition for me

[catmanjack]

Been watching Madmen almost to season 7 and it’s really good.

[catmanjack]

Will watch Midway looks really good.

[KSRBEvans]

Have you seen the Apple ad? I know they're manipulating me, but it still gets me in all the feels, as the kids say.

This is the long version--I can't find the TV version online.

[Catfan73]

Just discovered QB1 on Netflix. They follow four high school quarterbacks each season; Nik Scalzo is one of the featured qb’s in season 3. This may be old news to everyone else lol. Didn’t have time to watch much last night but I’m going to check it out this weekend.

[KSRBEvans]

Season 3 of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is now live on Prime streaming.

Season 3 of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is now live on Prime streaming.

The Mrs. is a devotee and I promised to start watching it with her. She even said she would rewatch the first two seasons with me lol.

[KSRBEvans]

^Season 1 was a jewel. Season 2 not as good IMHO but still funny and worth a watch.

[badrose]

If you're a Bond fan Amazon Prime has most, if not all, of the Bond movies (except the Daniel Craig series) and have given them a 4K boost in picture quality.

I should say that Never Say Never Again is included in the offering and the resolution is much better. Plus, the movie itself is better than most of the official series.

[Catfan73]

Prime has the new seasons out of both The Expanse and the John Krasinski version of Jack Ryan. I got about halfway thru one episode of Jack Ryan before I fell asleep last night (my fault, not theirs). I may have to wait for vacation after Christmas to catch up :/

[KSRBEvans]

I was posting in another thread about Love Actually and thought I'd throw it open for the group. Any Christmas shows that are definitely must-watch?

At Casa Evans it's
--Die Hard (just kidding--but really)
--Love Actually
--The Holiday (we usually start early with Love Actually and The Holiday because they're arguably not even Christmas movies)
--Elf
--Charlie Brown Christmas
--Rudolph
--Frosty
--Miracle on 34th Street (my family prefers the John Hughes remake with Richard Attenborough for some reason)
--Muppet Christmas Carol (an underrated Michael Caine performance as Scrooge, IMHO)
--It's A Wonderful Life
--The Nativity Story (split opinion on this--DW and I really like it, our adult children don't)

[KSRBEvans]

BTW, yes, we do watch a lot of TV. What's your point?

[Catfan73]

Besides Charles Brown, various family members have to watch A Christmas Story, Christmas Vacation, and Elf. Elf is my personal favorite but of course we’ve seen them all a dozen times each.

[blueboss]

Just saw a quick teaser for Fargo, coming this spring on FX.

Last night on Prime I watched Brittany Runs A Marathon, about a person who's in a bad place due to a variety of bad life choices and she decides to, well, run a marathon. In the process she learns a lot about herself. Inspirational movie for the New Year.
