I hate that Prime has it's own stand alone accounts and even if you already have a service you still have to get it through them to watch HBO or Showtime.

The Highwaymen - I found it incredibly boring. 

[gotbeer]

Netflix:  Santa Clarita Diet.  This one kind of surprised me.  I wasn't expecting much from it, but gave it a shot.  Zombie series, so that probably crosses out a lot of people.  And it's more of a comedy than anything.  And maybe I find it even more funny because everything I've seen Timothy Olyphant in (Deadwood, Justified), he's had that same serious weird style.  But in this one, it's that style but in a funny way that works well with Drew Barrymore.  So might be worth a look if you are looking for something light.

Tombstone. Had never seen it before and didn’t really know the story. It was very well done even though I missed the first fifteen minutes.

[Brandon]

Tombstone is one of the best movies of all time.

"I'll be your huckleberry" is still one of the best lines ever dropped in a movie.

i LOVE silverado. kevin kline was a fun character and jeff goldblum was a snarky POS. the dinosaurs should have eaten him in jurassic park.

this is a weird thing, and maybe it's just me, but i always have liked the sound of these more modern westerns - the spurs, the guns, the hoofbeats of the horses, all of it. 

i'm not real proud to admit this, but i always thought the shootout at the ok corral was THE highlight of wyatt earp's life, and that he, his brothers, and doc holliday all died there, and that it was a disaster akin to the alamo. glad to be wrong on that one. and dana delaney . . . oh my . . .

Movies:  Shazam.  Think of the movie Big, but as a  superhero instead.  That's pretty much what this movie was.  Kind of got annoying after a while, everything was so drawn out.  But it does extend DC's use of absolutely powerful beings/gods as heroes.  It had it's moments.  But overall should be a wait till cable movie.  And spoiler, but DC is such a mess that they couldn't even show Superman.  Only from the shoulders down.

Versailles season 3 is on Netflix

[AngelsLakersFan]

Finally finished my re-watch of Game of Thrones in preparation for tonight’s premiere. On second viewing I think season 5 is a lot better than given credit for. It was the first sign of some cracks in the storytelling because of some awful decisions and a few regretful scenes but overall an excellent, albeit flawed season of television.

While my opinions on 6 remain much the same I walked away feeling fairly confident that ‘The Winds of Winter’ was the best episode they’ve ever done, and a true testament to the great character development and generally excellent direction the series has achieved.

Season 7 though... somehow actually managed to feel worse. Perhaps binge watching it wasn’t the best way to help the huge change in pace feel more natural. Unfortunately on re-watch episode 6 is easily, far and away the ‘worst’ episode of the series. While that is a reasonably high bar for this series, in this particular case it is one of the few, if not only, flat out bad episode in the series. It’s bad enough to almost get me to give The Walking Dead another chance.... as if the two creative teams did some sort of swap or YouTube style collab for it. Yikes.

so I think that single moment really levels my expectations for this final season. Hopefully the extra time was spent working on the scripts and not on the epic battle sequences.

Netflix:  Black Summer.  I give zombie movies chances.  But this one is even more on the stupid side than even I can handle.  Definite pass, even if you like the genre.

Showtime Documentary series: Action

About the world of sports betting.  It seems to be focused on what has happened since the Supreme court's ruling on legalized gambling. 

First two episodes were interesting.  I am looking forward to seeing how "Vegas Dave" fares in the upcoming episodes.

Netflix:  Roman Empire.  One of those historical documentaries.  3 seasons, and they go over the reigns of Commodus, Caesar, and Caligula.  I thought it was interesting to hear how they rose, and really their impact.  If you are a history buff, I'd recommend it.  

[Taylor]

I'm about 2/3rds of the way through Season 3 of Mr. Robot. That episode that was basically just one long take ... holy crap.

One of the best TV series of all time.

Nat Geo:  "Free Solo"

Documentary of Alex Honnold's ascent of El Capitan's 3200 foot vertical rock (without no rope or a buddy).  Just himself and some chalk.

Highly recommend.  Intense shots of his climb as well as training, plus the scenery is outstanding.

Netflix:  Movie 43.  Kind of like a Kentucky Fried Movie.  Just little clips of weird stuff.  Overall, not bad if you are looking for an hour and a half to kill.  

Edit:  Just realized that after the credits, there is one last clip.  It's pretty much how I picture Rallymo's cats.
