OMG loving it.......

Ratched (Netflix)

It's one wild ride......:scarytv:

cast includes..Sarah Paulson Sharon Stone Judy Davis Amanda Plummer Cynthia Nixon


WARNING: Possible triggers

I’m really enjoying it too. I seem to like the Netflix series with the over the top production values, enjoying the sets, costumes, and saturated colors. Visual candy.

:movieguy:

Binge watching a CBS TV show called The Unicorn on CBS All Access. It’s about a widower whose friends want to see him “move on” after his wife’s death, often by setting him up on dates.

I checked it out because the star of the show, Walton Goggins, usually plays a bad ass and I wanted to see if he could pull off being a nice guy. He does. I’m midway through the season and it sweet and goofy. Exactly what the doctor ordered.

The 40 Year Old Version - Excellent - Netflix :movieguy:

From The Atlantic - “ Making movies about creativity is difficult; making them about creative frustration is harder still. Radha Blank accomplishes just that with her new film, The 40-Year-Old Version, debuting on Netflix today. It follows a playwright stuck in a years-long rut, searching for new ways to express herself. Her journey is difficult, and Blank is invested in showing just how hostile the artistic world can be to someone like herself, a Black female artist uninterested in the grim material her industry wants from her. But The 40-Year-Old Version depicts all that frustration with bubbly, knowing wit; it’s a breezy comedy about not knowing what to do with your life.”

I’ve been getting lucky finding engaging stories on Prime of late. I’ve also taken some time off from work and actually have time to peruse the offerings. In the last couple weeks I’ve watched and enjoyed:

Youth in Oregon...a really engaging and interesting movie regarding human euthanasia

The Goldfinch....which was a book I always wanted to read and now I think I shall. Incredible movie

Like Sunday Like Rain... the plot fell apart but I muddled through

Witness to 9/11...first hand account of a tragic day

The Bray Road Beast.... first hand accounts of a supposed werewolf like creature(s) in Wisconsin

Facing East....dismal true story about cemetery mismanagement

Addicted to Food: Sharons Story.....sad story :(

306 Hollywood... documentary made by the grandchildren of a recently deceased woman. Very artfully done as the granddaughter is a film student. This was a gem to find.

Mourning Son.... true story about guitarist Dave Navarro and his mother who was murdered by her ex boyfriend.

The Perfect Victim..... documentary about incarcerated women who killed abusive spouses/partners.

Lord Lucan.... a murder mystery from the 70s ( I think?) gets light shed on it by the wife of the accused murderer.

Missing 411....strange stories of hunters who have disappeared over the course of many decades.

Ted Buddy: Falling for a killer.....fascinating stories from an ex girlfriend of Ted Bundy (and her daughter)

Ohhhh and we watched all three season of YELLOWSTONE in a matter of weeks! Then we rewatched it again from the beginning. It is just so good!

We don’t have Paramount channel on our lineup, but were able to find Season 1&2 on Peacock and 3 on Fubo.

Watching
six feet under
wow has held up over time
brilliant television

Took a look at the new releases on Netflix and selected “Rebecca“. A remake of the 1940 original by Alfred Hitchcock, as a fan of all things Hitchcock I am watching this tonight. :movieguy:

Watched the 60 Minutes interview with Trump on CBS Access last night. Leslie Stahl did a good job (excellent compared to most journalists) of showing how off the rails he is when asked direct questions.

Also watched CSI on CBS Access and on Pluto TV. The focus on scientific evidence is a relief from politics. Too bad they didn’t bring on Ted Danson sooner to CSI Cyber (and toss Bow Wow) or the Cyber series may have lasted longer. It ended just as I was starting to like it.

And Divorce Court with Lynn Toler on Pluto TV. That is the most unusual court setting I’ve seen on tv. Looks like a court from the Star Trek series. I like Judge Toler. Have a book she wrote on lessons her mama taught her. Very good.

As I watched the 60 minute interview I wonder if he wasn't planning on doing something like that all along?


What is that old saying " Bad publicity is better than no publicity at all'?

I loved The Queen's Gambit (although the last 10 seconds, or so, was a bit hokey.

Borat 2 ...I'm hesitating to say that I absolutely loved it and laughed till it hurt. Have me shot.

Then I watched The Dictator (Cohen again ) and I'm hesitating to say that I absolutely loved it and laughed till it hurt. Have me shot... That's a copy/paste.

Also watched Criminal2, The Accountant, and then some other unmemorable stuff.

Nowhere to go; nothing to do. I'm in a Netflix prison.

I just started watching the Queens gambit also…

Christmas... something to look forward to..But we're still in October and you haven't yet had to eat all your Halloween candy by yourself in isolation or had your Zoom Family Thanksgiving Turkey dinner (pass the cranberry sauce ).

Temperature checking Santa before you let him get into your chimney wont be easy either.

The Vow on HBO.

The last company I worked at had a couple similarities to Nxivm. Some coworkers and I have been watching The Vow and commenting on it. Though we were sometimes called a cult by competitors, we weren’t. Like these people, our company was Gung Ho! about the work we did. That’s where the similarities ended. There we no sex parties (at least none I was invited to) nor any threats to those who left the company. I stopped watching after the fourth episode. I lost interest once they started branding the women. Also, he was sentenced yesterday. Just too much to stomach for me.

There are 8 or 9 episodes and it could have been done in 4.

It wasn’t done as well as most other docu-dramas by HBO and the series didn’t give me anything I didn’t get in the tabloid papers.

I am currently watching, Hinterland.

How is it?
