Good to see Richard Armitage back in a thriller again after Berlin Station :)

Very very carefully made. I hope like hell they talk him into another season…

Just saw the trailer for this, unbelievable…weekend watch list

Missed this somehow - going to check it out, thanks for the bump : )

It doesn’t air until 9pm central.

expresso 1 points 25 days ago.

DOH. That would be me, thinking all day it was Saturday…

Maybe the date is wrong and there’s a break for a week…can’t find this anywhere.

Woohoo Season 4 is up : ) Love Wisting!

So, is it just me, or was this season relatively meh?

Resident Alien (2021) S3 E7
expresso 3 points 26 days ago. (Contains Spoilers)

I loved watching all the cast members get a chance to beat up on Alan Tudyk in that scene in the cabin, that must have been fun!

Road House (2024)

Straight to cult classics list. So bad it’s hilariously bad.

Homicide: New York (2024)
expresso 1 points 1 month ago.

This is an interesting development. One would think that Dick Wolf had pretty much saturated the market with procedurals in broadcast TV and that Netflix would stay out of this space? Who doesn’t already have access to the entire L&O universe?? Maybe there is an infinite demand out there.

(I’m a junkie, I will be watching)

3 Body Problem (2024) S1 E1
roystervi 2 points 1 month ago.

The show is great and I love it but its a huge let down because shows like this comes out strong end in a cliff hanger then don’t return.

expresso 1 points 1 month ago*.

I think it will come back. Apple tends to stick with their weird as heck stuff. Witness, “Invasion”

3 Body Problem (2024) S1 E1
meluv 1 points 1 month ago.

Subtitles for the Chinse language parts would be nice. Or is this a new trend in movies today. Maybe the chinese think we should have subtitles for theEnglish parts.

expresso 1 points 1 month ago*.

The reason the subtitles aren’t automatically there is because on a service like Apple+ when you watch through your subscription the subs are added in by the service. Whether or not the file automatically has subs encoded depends on the type of file format is ripped. Some of the streams have hardcoded subs, just go down through them. I was able to watch the entire season with subs using VidSrc search engine.

3 Body Problem (2024)
expresso 2 points 1 month ago.

At least one quantum level above all the other sci-fi I’ve seen.

3 Body Problem (2024) S1 E5
expresso 1 points 1 month ago.

I’m going to have to watch this at least 2 more times all the way through.

Resident Alien (2021) S3 E6

I LOVE Mike and Liv…season 2 they weren’t as funny, they’re HILARIOUS again : )

Halo (2022) S2 E8

Sure looks like there will be a season 3

The Prisoner (1967)

Classic weirdo TV, time for a rewatch I think

3 Body Problem (2024)
Manhunt (2024)
ThinMan 1 points 1 month ago*.

What? No, DDL did NOT look, or even closely resemble Lincoln. Lincoln was called “ugly” in many, many written accountings, and DDL did not appear ugly at all. However, DDL is an excellent actor (or was, as he is formally retired). Further, how do you know what his accent would have been? Accents in the US are quite diverse and regional, not generic at all. If you read historically accurate documents they all agree, he was a healthy middle-aged man with warts on his face, thin and ugly and a blueish colouring. Whatever that means, is subjective, therefore an adaptation is not based on anything that was recorded by video or voice, but by written OPINION only. Further, there is only “speculation” that he had a form of mercury poisoning (he took mercury tablets) which coloured his countenance, but did not make him frail or elderly (he was assassinated at 56, in good health).

…”There are 130 known photographs of Lincoln…”

Manhunt (2024)
Piglet 0 points 1 month ago.

Well, there isn’t any recording of Lincoln’s voice that I’m aware of, and I didn’t care for the person playing Lincoln’s. Kind of made him look and sound a bit simple minded. I know for realism, and to convey how slaves were talked to and treated was rather shocking to hear. I found myself gasping with disgust. Menzies is great in this series and a totally different character than the character he portrayed in Outlander. He seems to take on each character he has played with gusto. I must admit I’ve not read that much about the assassination of Lincoln and the days leading up to and the days after. I didn’t know he lingered on for hours after being shot. And of course there is the saying that I’ve heard for years but didn’t know why until about 30 years ago. “You’re name is mud” which refers to the Samuel Mudd, the doctor who set Booths broken leg, he was labeled as a traitor. So when someone calls you mud, it’s not a good thing. Roger Mudd (CBS reporter until his death in 2021 at the age of 93) was a collateral descendant of Samuel Mudd (meaning he descended from another branch within the same extensive family tree). I may continue on and give it a few more episodes.

Lincoln is almost always portrayed with a thin, reedy high pitched voice because there are written historical sources (books, newspapers, private letters) that describe it that way.

Real Time with Bill Maher (2003) S22 E7
YgraineDance 2 points 1 month ago.

So true. He’s petty about it, too. Gets cross if a guest is more loudly cheered for a salient remark or joke than he himself is.

expresso 2 points 1 month ago.

And yet, I watch him, because it’s still the only place anyone is getting people of different political and intellectual views together in the same hour interacting with each other on the same topics. I think going from 3 to 2 panel guests has made a difference. When there were 3 he wasn’t dominating the conversation, the guests were. I’m also noticing that the opening interviews are getting more fluffy. The percentage of interviewing celebs he admires rather than politicians and thinkers has gone way up.

YgraineDance 3 points 1 month ago.

I’m not able to tolerate Maher anymore, but I watched this episode for my man Max Brooks. He’s always a can’t-miss for me; so smart and funny. Nothing fazes him. That is so appealing.

expresso 2 points 1 month ago.

He says he hasn’t changed. He’s changed. He’s nastier. I mean, he was always a jerk, but he was also at least hypothetically open minded. Now he’s got his pet issues and he’s about hammering on those with every set of guests.

Lady Macbeth (2017)
expresso 2 points 1 month ago.

That was amazing. Florence Pugh and Cosmo Jarvis.

Shōgun (2024) S1 E4
expresso 1 points 1 month ago.

He’s so far into Richard Burton that he is Richard Burton. 6/5 stars for this episode, so much good stuff going on.

Oppenheimer (2023)
trillianregina 1 points 1 month ago.

Now that this is a Best Picture Academy Award Winner, it will cost three times as much to watch on this site as it did one week ago.

I’m excited every time someone discovers this show, it flew by completely under the radar.

Burn After Reading (2008)
RobotAllah 2 points 1 month ago.

I love this style of comedy. Such a Killer!

expresso 2 points 1 month ago.

Way underrated imo, it got trashed by the critics and I thought it was hilarious.

This looks cool

This is brilliant. Reminds me of Fall but so much more intense.

That would be because everyone in the US has to carry SOTU

The silliness of Master Chief tooling around invincible without armor…vs yum, Master Chief’s expressive face, without armor

Wondering how many “Constellation” watchers know about this? Was I the last to know?!

No I am
