Now Watching, Films/ movies discussion Options

Decided to revisit Farscape. It starts off kinda slow but once you get into it, the characters are loveable. I like that two of the leads were also in Stargate SG1 for a few seasons. I prefer Stargate and Battlestar Galactica to Farscape but it isn't bad at all.

I would love to go back to watching Farscape, but I can't. For some reason the discs just cause massive vibrations when I try to watch them. I can actually hear the humming over the show.

Don't know if you have the option but Netflix has all of them available for streaming. I actually love Netflix because of this.

Watched a couple of Magnums last night...The first one I forget...Oh, the one with the P.I. award with Luther Gillis and Annie Potts in!!...That was fun...Mostly...

But the other one was that Death and Taxes one that Subrosa mentioned ages ago...The one with the Genesis song (Mama) in it...Where the serial killer kept ringing him up with riddles and stuff...

Proper creepy episode...Loved it!...Hells, even McDaughter was hooked, and she really doesn't like watching it anymore!...Well, she likes the characters of Magnum and Higgins, but the others, as she says, "Oh my Gahhhhhd!"...

But yeah, Magnum at its finest!...

[SubRosa]

The Magnum Vice episode! That was a really cool one, and really weird. It has such a different feel than the other episodes in the show.

[McBadgere]

Absolutely!...Definitely one of the best ones of the whole series...

There was much joy expressed by the McKids when I mentioned that there was "Only" 30 episodes or so left... ...

We've decided when we've done the Magnum, we're going to finish off The A-Team DVDs we've got...Only two seasons to go with that too!!...We were halfway through season 3 when we stopped...That leaves the full season 4 and the half-season 5!!!...Awwww, they're gonna be so pleased... ...

What Happens in Vegas.

I only put it on due to boredom, but it's not actually a bad film.

Just watched The Life Before Her Eyes. It was a nice, slow, poignant movie. I do not want to give away any spoilers, though the movie does give plenty of little hints, like the rain, the water, the song "She's Not There" always playing, and so on, that lead to the sad ending. If you are in the mood for a good - if sad - chick flick, try this one.

Melanie Griffith was in Hawaii Five-O last night...What the hell happened to her?!!!...I mean, she was never...Amazing looking (IMO)...But oh my... ...

Anyways, Five-O and NCIS:LA...

[SubRosa]

I am trying to watch The Amazing Spider Man. The main character is such a douche bag, that I don't think I can sit through the entire thing. But even that aside, the movie feels souless, like a blatant cash grab. The more I watch, the more I wish I was watching one of the Raimi movies instead. I think I am going back to The Shield.

[McBadgere]

...Oh, fair dues...Each to their own and all that...Like I said before, I was surprised how much I enjoyed the new version...I couldn't stand the "old" ones...Well, never been a Spidey fan really...

Anyways, just watched Doctor Who - The Satan Pit...The second one of the Black Hole Spacebase with The Devil™ and The Ood...

I really had forgotten how good this one was...It's one of them that never really leaps to the front of the brain when I think of the series...Which is a shame, because I really, really enjoyed that...

Looking forward to the next one...It's another I've rarely seen...Maybe twice, all told...Love & Monsters...The Doctor-Lite episode with Peter Kay as The Absorbalof and Marc Warren as the Jeff Lynne loving lad that tries to track the Doctor down with his L.I.N.D.A. bunch...

I´ve gone back to Seinfeld..

Awesome it is, even today!

I thought that'd be one of the best things about it.

I have forgotten to mention I watch Deadliest Catch and Gold Rush. I especially like Gold Rush

[McBadgere]

Vicious, Mom and Warehouse 13...

WH13 was really good...It's a shame it's the last series...I have quite enjoyed that down the years...

[Callidus Thorn]

Just watched Solomon Kane.

Not bad, though personally I think it would have made for a better film with a little less of the "sold his soul to the devil" cliche.

[ImperialSnob]

Oh please don't let Always Sunny fall.

It's seemingly getting a bit stale, they even made fun of themselves for rehashing an old plot but with some changes.

The jokes aren't nearly as funny, I hope it gets back to being funny.

Still worth a watch since Seasons 1-3 are some of the best TV ever and 4-7 are amazing as well.

I'm sure we watched that a few months back... ...It's got that welsh bloke in it, hasn't it?...Hmmmm...I'm sure we did...

Ne'ermind, no matter...

Top of The Pops '79 and Castle...I love Castle, it's an absolutely excellent series...So funny and warm and clever and exciting...Which is just what you need of an evening sometimes... ...

[SubRosa]

I am watching Milius. It is a fascinating look into the career of Hollywood legend, John Milius. He's bombastic, machoer than macho, and in his own words absurb. This is the guy who wrote lines like "Do you feel lucky punk?" from Dirty Harry, "I love the smell of napalm in the morning", the USS Indianapolis scene from Jaws, and of course "To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women!".

He was the writer for Apocalypse Now, and when Martin Sheen was doing the narration he though Sheen could do better. So he took out a .45 automatic, cocked it, and put it in Sheen's hand. Then he had him read it over again.

Revenge of The Sith...

I enjoyed it a hell of a lot more than I had before...I'm not sure why really...

Yes, there's massive problems with many aspects of it...But...I seem to have forgotten most of the film...Then again, it is nearly 10 years since it came out...McBoy pointed out he was 4 at the time...*Shrug*...That's the sort of thing he usually remembers anyways...

But yeah, I feel like reading the novel again...It is by far the best of the SW movie to book adaptions...It may even be one of the best movie to book adaptions of any film...So good...

Anyways, on to the original trilogy next...The kids are already complaining... ...But, as I said to them, a deal's a deal...We were watching them all...So we have to...So there... ...

I started into the final season of The Shield. Wow. Vic Mackey could school Machiavelli. It starts out with the Mexican Mob quietly taking over Los Angeles, Vic about to be thrown off the police force, and the Armenian Mob out to kill him and his family. By the end of the first episode Vic has saved his job, at least for a time, killed the hitman sent after his family, and engineered a gang war between the Mexicans and Armenians. The pièce de résistance though is that he convinced his former best friend (who ratted him out to the Armenians), that they are cool again, when in actuality Vic is going to kill him once the dust settles.

Just watched a couple of Magnum episodes...

One where Magnum's ex-wife, Michelle turns up with her daughter...Who may or may not be, but is in all likelihood Magnum's...

Also...Jean Scott Bruce!!!!... ...

And then one where Thomas and Higgins were getting a bit stupid with the getting back at each other...Not the greatest episode of the season, that's for sure...
