What are you watching on Netflix and Amazon Prime?

^^^ Been watching that too. Guy seems to have a code that's gonna get him into a lot of trouble...

With all the talk ofThe Expanse, I picked up seasons 1 & 2 from the library today.

 

[Alamo]

Watched Ford v Ferrari yesterday afternoon at the movie theater. Given all the racing scenes I think it benefits from being seen in a movie theater screen(although it was too damn loud), but I’m sure it’ll make its way to Netflix or prime video eventually. If you refuse to go to movie theaters, then make a note to pick it up later on streaming service.

Next, Richard Jewell

Saw Richard Jewell last weekend at an Alamo Drafthouse. Well done! Be nice for this one to have a good box office, but if you can't hack theaters, make a note to catch it when it gets to Netflix or Amazon or whoever. However, I will say again that Ford v. Ferrari benefits from a big movie screen, so go see that one now.

It took me awhile to get into Expanse, but I was intrigued early on by the space Mormon subplot. That didn't go as far as I would have liked, turned out to be just a prop for something else, but overall Expanse is really good because it's much more than a space-visual-effects-blow-em-up-and-kill-the-monster flick. It is a political thriller happening in space. I was pretty amazed to find out it started as an online game.

After watching all of The Expanse, I have to say, it is the GREATEST science fiction series to date! Yes, it beats Firefly.

Better than the "new" Battlestar Galactica?

The factions took a lot of exposition to establish some background. I didn’t think it really started moving in stride until about halfway into season one.

Mandalorian season finale is kinda awesome.

Oh. And for a bonus, Moth Gideon is played by Gus.

Vigilant my have been drinking when he wrote that. The expanse is really good, but not more enjoyable that Firefly (which I think aren't really comparable).... and it for sure ain't as good as the BSG reboot. That's pretty much the top of the mountain.

I'm only 3 episodes in but so far Expanse is reminding me of several Heinlein stories with similar plot lines.

And don't forget Firefly - Season 2.

Got to watch Star Trek's "Discovery," in Nashville, TN: Season 1 & 2, on CBS All Access channel (I don't get it).
Done well, exquisite writing: better than most movies.
Look forward next year to Season 3, plus the new "Picard" will have a season done by then.

I've been trying to find Bubba Hotep for years and finally got to see it...Great movie....Tubi TV is free and has lots of cult classics and 70s women in prison films for Churchmouse...(I like them too...Pam Grier is the queen)....Bubba Hotep is on there and very, very funny....

The whole series, thus far, is "kinda" awesome.

We added Disney plus and dropped Netflix...My daughter is autistic and Disney and Pixar are her favorites.....We added it on our Hulu for (I think) only $5.99 so our total is $12.99...Even got Nat Geo....Disney Plus is the best deal out there INHO....

I'm just not a Star Wars fan...I tried and saw the first three...It just never took...My little brother on the other hand? Has ALL of the original Star Wars action figures including the stand and the Jawa you had to send off for.....

I made fun of him....I'm not laughing now...That stuff is worth a mint....

Speaking of, the wife and I enjoyed Little Monsters the other night.

I'm a fan of Letterkenny and have a geezer crush on Tanis...Just found out today she is half Mohawk and her mother was a famous native activist and model...Tanis sister was bayoneted (accidentally) in a stand off in 1990 between the Mohawk and Canadian Government...The little girl her sister is holding is Tanis.....

Tanis in blue jacket ca 1990 Tanis on Letterkenny ca 2017

I upgraded my iPhone and got it free for a year. Not a fan of Star Wars 'eh? That might be the rudest thing you ever said to me!
