I thought SWC was a lady?
Maybe she is. :giggity:

 
finished "hinterland" the other night. it's still very good even if the last episode was disappointing. it's finished shooting S2 and will come over through Netflix soon. again, it's a nice detective series that does good work on that front. mostly, it's pretty well acted and plotted but the setting is exceptional. not as good as, say, "Happy Valley" or "The Fall" but far better than a lot of the other dreck.

Another fan of Happy Valley. Just watched the first episode

The main plot (spurned employee-lash out at boss-then regretting it) I have seen before, but it is done well here.

But the lead Sarah Lancashire, is a true delight.
Finished it last night.Really liked this.
Just watched the first episode. It's like a British Fargo.
I was thinking Fargo meets A Simple Plan.

That lead character in Happy Valley was really great!

And another little thing I loved about it was the theme music, "Trouble Town".
Kevin, the accountant to Nev was shades of Walter White
Just finished ep. 3 of Happy Valley, Tommy Lee Royce is a monster and I would liked to cut off his balls with a dull butter knife.

And I will hear that sound of the All Alert for a while

 
McConkey .

Doc on Shane McConkey regarded as perhaps the greatest skier of all-time.

Jaw-dropping footage and so much of it.

A must watch.

Black Mirror and The Fall
Yes, The Fall was fantastic too.

 
my wife wants to do black mirror but i think it is like individual packets of mustard where the shows do not have the same characters from show to show and i want to have the same people ever show but i will take a look at the fall and i am sure we will watch the black mirror stuff and that i will like it even if i do not want to take that to the bank thanks for the suggetsions i appreciate it a lot

 
Happy Valley

Sort of takes a Sons of Anarchy turn in episode 3 (very unrealistic). I was enjoying it up until this episode. Ugh.

 
Been on a bit of a movie binge of late - trying the Doug Loves Movies 365 movies in 365 days challenge... which I'm sure I won't get anywhere near once life starts up again tomorrow, but a few days of binge watching never killed anyone.

In the meantime, since I'm going to be doing it mostly with Netflix, figured I'd review the movies here. I have pretty broad tastes in flicks, so I'll try and call out why I liked or didn't like them...

14 movies in 13 days - thanks to a sick day...

Wolf of Wall Street

Awesome flick. 30-40 minutes too many knocked this down a few notches thanks to my short attention span.

Devil (Chris Messina)

Love Messina on Newsroom and Mindy Project. Nice little indy mystery/suspense flick.

Best Man Down (Tyler Lapine, Justin Long, Jess Weixler)

Best man dies after the reception. Newlyweds deal with the aftermath. Good story - was surprisingly engaging.

Spring Breakers (James Franco, Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens)

If you have kids who forced you to watch Wizards of Waverly Place or High School Musical (or both), this is your payback. Thought it was just going to be T&A, but turned out the story was pretty good too.

Anchorman 2

Liked it better than the first one. But I only kinda liked the first one.

28 Hotel Rooms (Chris Mussina, Marin Ireland)

The story of a one night stand that turns into a multi-city relationship. Must have been inexpensive to make - there's almost no other cast and very little wardrobe. Nice character study.

An Invisible Sign (Jessica Alba, Chris Mussina, JK Simmons)

Had higher hopes for this one. Had a few good moments, but overall pretty slow.

Peter and Vandy (Jason Ritter, Jess Weixler)

Another relationship story that is told over time. I really wanted to like this one. Only this one is told in no particular order. Bad move. Bottom of my list so far.

Really liked happy valley but was a little disappointed with the conclusion...not the entire episode but how the bad guys story was wrapped up. Seemed a little like they couldn't think of a really good ending and just tacked that on.

 
I am 2 episodes in of season 1 American horror story. Is this worth watching or what. Do the questions get answered or is everything ambiguous. Not sure what to make of it so far.

I enjoyed the first season a lot, the second season was a little disappointing and the third season was terrible imo. Haven't watched any of the fourth season.

I also liked the first, couldn't get into the 2nd.

I really enjoy how they keep the same cast, for the most part, but go with entirely different story lines (time and place). It's not for everyone but I have enjoyed all four seasons so far.

I watched the first half dozen or so episodes of the fourth season, IMO, its by far the worst. I really liked the first season, thought the second season was entertaining enough, only put up with the third season because my wife still kind of liked it, but we both gave up on the show this season.

 
i tried to enjoy AHS but could barely finish the first season. it felt like they were padding the narrative somehow to complete the required number of episodes. as a result, it felt like it was diluted. i don't like horror as a genre but this had a lot of potential.

I watched 6 episodes yesterday and pulled the plug. Never really got me. The whole evil house, ghost thing, driving people crazy is just too played out for me

 
Don't mean to hijack, but just inherited an Android 4.0.4 and there appears to not be an app. I can load the mobile site, but the link to the app, which it appears you need to view anything, returns no results. Is anybody familiar? Am I out of luck?

 
Yeah my wife can't handle The Fall. Double-life thing REALLY freaks her out. I watched 2.1 today. Just excellent, excellent television.

She and I started Happy Valley last night. Also enjoyed this one except I had to use subtitles because I can't understand anything they say.

 
We both like The Fall but the lead guy annoys my wife because she thinks he's too small to be as overpowering as they show him to be sometimes.

She will probably get freaked out by Happy Valley also

 
The second season of The Fall is as bad as that Kevin Bacon show The Following. Too bad. First season was excellent.
I'm 4 episodes deep and unless it completely falls off a cliff, you're out of your tree.
While I didn't think S2 was bad, S1 was much better.
Comparing it to The Following is saying it's worse than Nickelback playing on an episode of CSI Miami.

That's crazytalk.
:goodposting: Wife and I Netflix The Following but at this point we're hate-watching it. The Fall is AT WORST good.

 
I think I watched about 5 minutes of The Following. First two episodes of The Fall season 2 have been pretty good.

Hmm, I haven't caught season 4 yet, but I thought season 1 was just ok, 2 was great, and 3 was good, but padded a bit toward the end.

 
I know I am behind times here, but watched Wolf of Wall Street finally last night. Very good flick. The wife was like "Wow there sure is a lot of nudity in this movie." I was :excited: Margot Robbie is about as perfect as there is....

Now You See Me (Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Morgan Freeman)

I like a good "whodunit" - this one was pretty good. I didn't see the "who" coming.

The Other Woman (Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, Kate Upton)

Revenge flicks are fun. A lot was spoiled in the trailers, but overall I liked it.

Somebody Up There Likes Me (Nick Offerman, Keith Poulson, Jess Weixler)

A friendship tracked over 35 years. I like the concept, not the execution.

i'll echo the sentiments from many here about the 2nd season of The Fall: it's very good. i'm 3 episodes into it and enjoying it immensely. 3rd episode wasn't nearly as .good as the first two (mostly because they didn't have gillian and archie romping in bed). there is one thing that kind of bugs me about the series and it's how they waste the setting of the series really. they kind of touched on in it S1 but haven't done nearly enough with it. it's a series set in occupied Belfast but you'd really never know it. it could be almost anywhere. i have seeing it squandered on yet another serial killer premise.

 
Was thinking Gillian Anderson has aged really well.

I didn't realize she was only 46.

For some reason I thought she was a lot older...early 50's maybe.

So she was about 24 when X-files premiered?

Never would have guessed...
