What are you watching on Netflix and Amazon Prime?

[Alamo]

Jesse Stone.

Just divorced alcoholic detective who lost his job in LAPD For drinking on the job gets hired as a police chief of four-man Police force in a small town on coast of Massachusetts. This is a small town where nothing ever happens and the police chief just hands out parking tickets Until Tom Selleck gets on scene, whereupon drug gangs, money laundering, Homicides, and serial killers spring out of the woodwork and the police chief gets to shoot somebody every episode. Also usually gets to plonk some hot babe.

But it’s well done, some interesting plot lines, and it’s Tom Selleck packing a 1911.

Warning: there is a specific order to the episodes if you want to make sense of the long-term plot lines , but they don’t number the episodes so it’s hard to figure out just by the title.

I finally watched Gran Torino last night on Netflix. It's been on my watch list for months now. Of course Clint Eastwood was awesome in it.

I didn't think I was going to like it.
But I loved it.

Watched the first episode of Paradise PD on Netflix, will not be watching more.

Started watching Jack Ryan on prime got through the first 3 episodes

 

[CENTURIATOR]

Finished Jack Ryan...enjoyed it. That's all I'll say so as not to spoil anything about it.

Here’s my overall take on the series, Jack RYAN. No spoilers.

They use Clancy’s names but they aren’t Clancy’s characters. I don’t see any real ties to his book series except the names and some pre-story. That doesn’t make it bad. It just requires us to divorce from what we “know” from the books.

I enjoyed the season for what it was/is. A reasonably well done action show.

I'm safe, then! I've never read one of his books. Ever since he called me an "arrogant young punk" GEnie back in 1987 or 1988 and said that people like me would be working for people like him (implying as a servant) someday, my interest in his work . . . diminished.

Well his current works aren’t by him anymore. You do realize Clancy died some years back?

I got hooked on Hunt when it first came out. Was in a club that was doing some computer based miniature modern naval war games so it was a fascinating read.

From there I’ve pretty much read all his stuff including the post Mortem stuff. Truly ghost-written! I think there was one series of books (Op Center?) that had his name on them but struck me as pure trash. Never read them.

Yeah, I knew that he died. I just couldn't resist sharing my "Tom Clancy called me an arrogant young punk" story again!

Well, is it true? The arrogant part?

Vanity Fair says that Jack Ryan is too masculine and too American.

I'm sold, then. When the typical crowd hates something, you know it's good.

As Trigger Time might say, "All Indications Point to YES!"

Vanity Fair says that Jack Ryan is too masculine and too American.

So . . . they're completely unclear on the concepts of Jack Ryan, masculinity, and being American. Got it!

I was in a pistol class with one of Tom Clancy's co-authors. Hes a cool guy
