Bought Tickets to go see Tenet this weekend in San Diego. A couple buddies and I were planning on road tripping to Vegas for a night to see it. Short drive down to SD; might feel weird...but I'm such a movie junkie and I haven't been to the movies since fucking' January. 

[fans_movie]

last thing i watched was captain america winter soldier from marvel series

im a huge fan of marvels and i got a relativly high score in marvel quiz .

Movie  - Dark Tower. Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey. 

Based on a best selling series by Stephen King. 

Not really my kind of flick, but I didn't know much about it prior to watching it. I'd give it 3 out of 5 stars.

hadn't seen it before but it was on mlb network the other night so the wife and i watched. powerful story, and i can't begin to imagine how many times jackie had to hold back from all the idiotic abuse thrown at him. it's one of those times that you wonder how people could live with themselves for what they said and did. the phillies manager was an incredible dick.

also watched ken burns documentary on jackie robinson. his post baseball career was very political, something i had never heard before.

It can.

Netflix:  Schitt's Creek.  A pretty safe comedy.  Had lot's of laughs, but is more like a network show.  Overall, it's a nice casual series to watch.

You're underselling it. Schitt's Creek is a fantastic TV show.

The Beatles: Eight Days a Week – The Touring Years is a 2016 documentary film directed by Ron Howard about the Beatles' career during their touring years from 1962 to 1966

Well done with lots of footage I haven't seen before. I remember when they came over here in 64.

They had a huge impact on the music scene. So many great songs to remember.

Watched it on Hulu.

 

[T.G.]

Started season 2 of 24...

Spoiler

So the daughter went through hell in one day in the first season... finds herself in another precarious situation right off the bat? C'mon...

That's TV for you...

I will keep watching, but this is a little soap opera-ish.

Oh, don't get me wrong.  I thoroughly enjoyed it.  It just felt very safe.  I mean a small town like that, and the closest they came to gay controversy is a league of businesswomen?

Amazon:  Radioactive  A movie about Marie Curie.  It was interesting, but I wish it went more in depth on her discoveries.  Instead, it kind of wandered aimlessly a bit too much after her husband died.  Still a good history lesson.  

[Redondo]

Thief on Hulu

4 episodes in.

Not really impressed with this show. Very predictable.

Andre Braugher is a really good actor, but this one is mailed in.

Once again the writers have so much filler that it loses the viewer.

Shorter series would have helped.

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Finally getting around to watching The Haunting of Hill House. Enjoying it so far, 3 episodes in.

Movie... Chasing 3000

Spoiler

Movie about two teenage boys trying to make it back to Pittsburgh in time to see Roberto Clemente get his 3000th hit.

I enjoyed it a lot... being a huge Roberto Clemente fan... I found the Clemente stuff very cool.

Finished season 2 of 24... I enjoyed it a little more than season 1. However...

Spoiler

The number of situations Kim gets into is very soap opera-ish... 

But that's TV..

Also the whole President having people undermine him thing is over done...

Anyone venture down to San Diego and check any movies out? 

[gotbeer]

Amazon:  the Boys Season 2.  Stay the F away if you want to watch it.  It's only the first 3 episodes.  They are doing a weekly reveal or some shit like that.  I say wait to be able to binge it.  The first 3 episodes were solid though.

Spoiler

[Redondo]

Kill the Irishman

About the Cleveland mob scene and Danny Green.

The rise and fall. Some good characters.

Christopher Walken, Paul Sorvino and Val Kilmer to name a few.

Spoiler

I wasn't aware of the violence in the Cleveland mob scene in the 1970's.

They were car bombing everyone. Like 36 bombings.
