TangledThorns Posted October 4 Posted October 4 10 hours ago, 505thAirborne said: I decided to watch the series "Yellowjackets", and I must admit, it's a good series. One season down, one more to go. (3 season is apparently in the works.) If you take elements from: The Blair Witch project. X-Files, IT, Lord of the Flies, ALIVE (the rugby team in the Andes) and tie it in with a pretty solid story plus a cast of solid actors, yeah, it's a good show and I recommend it. YELLOW JACKETS was unexpectedly good. Also had vibes from LOST too. Cool to see all the hot actors from the 1990s in it, lol. On a side note we tried watching SLOW HORSES on Apple+ but couldn't get stay tuned to it after 3 episodes so we moved on to BAD MONKEY. Has some decent moments but won't care for another season. Further side note we signed onto the MAX, Hulu, Disney+ bundle for $30 a month which seems like a good deal however I won't be surprised if the subscription price increases by this time next year, ugh.

TangledThorns Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Update on BAD MONKEY that it gets really interesting close to half-way in the series. Guess it just took a few episodes to build up, lol. Quote
Thom Posted October 9 Posted October 9 Been watching Agatha All Along and really liking it. I thought I wouldn't, but the main character is compelling and the dialogue is pretty snappy. Quote

It’s not exactly a show I’d give a high recommendation to, but definitely better than the majority of the live action shows on D+ Quote
electric indigo Posted October 12 Posted October 12 Even if you really don't like Tennis, you should watch Challengers. Quote

Thom Posted October 19 Posted October 19 Saw this on one of the other sites I go to, and it is (IMO) just great! Quote

TangledThorns Posted October 19 Posted October 19 (edited) Sounds like it's ripped from the ROBOTECH 2: Sentinels soundtrack, lol. Edited October 19 by TangledThorns Quote

electric indigo Posted November 1 Posted November 1 Our Halloween choices this year were two movies by David Bruckner. "The Ritual" (Netflix) and "The House at Night" (D+) were pretty effective nerve-tinglers, with Ritual being very relatable if you're a hiking guy. Always stick to the map! House has Rebecca Hall as a bonus, and a cool concept. IMDB links: Ritual & The House at Night Quote
azrael Posted November 5 Posted November 5 Some food for thought regarding anime streaming on Netflix (and maybe on some other streaming platforms). "Payment Is Reluctant": Netflix Faces Joint Backlash From Over 90 Anime Producers for Lack of Royalties (CBR.com) Quote
TangledThorns Posted November 10 Posted November 10 (edited) The impulse buy and waste isn't new (remember the Pet Rock?) but it does seem worse now than ever because of Amazon and social media. I don't need to watch that documentary as I'm living it. I stopped buying "stuff" including sci-fi collectibles years ago and evolved on to spending money on consumables (eg food, drink) and experiences (eg spa, trips, dining, etc) instead. This includes tech as I don't want to upgrade unless I really have to. Used to be every 2 years for a new smartphone or computer but now I want them to last 5 years or more. Yeah, its great for the environment but its also great for my wallet and peace of mind with having less clutter in my house and not having to think about my children having to deal with it someday. I do get on my wife about it though as she sometimes falls victim to the impulse buy. Retail therapy is not therapy. Edited November 10 by TangledThorns Quote

At least for a PC a new one was required to play new games after a couple years (at the very least a replacement graphics card). I have had the same PC now for 7 years and it still plays the latest titles. Though it is old enough that I am buying a new one - something is going to go on it soon since they don't build them to last. Smartphones, I've always kept till the existing one started going wonky, usually three to four years. Quote
TangledThorns Posted November 15 Posted November 15 Into the first two seasons of ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING on Hulu. Steve-Martin-Short makes it quirky and fun, recommended if you're looking that kind of entertainment. Quote
505thAirborne Posted November 25 Posted November 25 While I am enjoying DUNE PROPHECY, this is the best show out there right now, Billy Bob Thorton is superb in this series. Quote

I still have yet to meet anyone that even knows a person with P+ I have Paramount+ and for its value ($60/yr) imho is a way better streaming service than Netflix and PRIME that costs 3x or more. Paramount's strength is in its Taylor Sheridan series (Landman, Tulsa King, Mayor of Kingstown, Yellowstone prequels, etc) that we enjoy very much. Also great for Star Trek fans too but I prefer the Taylor Sheridan series tbh. Edited November 25 by TangledThorns Quote
Tking22 Posted November 25 Author Posted November 25 Yeah I love P+, but I also watch The Challenge, Survivor, reruns of Comedy Central stuff and old school Jackass and Wild Boyz. Plus all the Trek, it's a solid channel. Quote
TangledThorns Posted November 27 Posted November 27 We'll sign up for a month of Netflix just for this new Squid Game season alone. Better be good tho! Quote
