Fewer Kilometers

[quote]If you’ve never watched Trek and are unsure if you’d like it or not, I recommend The Orville. It’s simply fantastic, a love letter to classic trek with enough humor to even out the serious science fiction. It does a great job of presenting a lot of current issues through a nuanced lens that n...

[quote]What if this cancellation is actually a work?[/quote]So I'll be watching Outlander and the screen will go dark, and when the lights come up ConDamned will be perched menacingly on a chair behind one of the Frasers?...

The silver lining is that it'll join Firefly and Carnivale on those "Killed too soon" lists. It's still a great two-season watch. Amell's two series are now "Went on too long" and "Ended too soon". Maybe his third attempt will hit the sweet spot in the middle. I hope that his missteps with the st...

Donnie Darko Rosemary’s Baby Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark (1973)...

Ted Lasso is The Andy Griffith show set in a British football league. Everyone underestimates Ted, just as the big city folks looked down at Sheriff Taylor. It’s all about being decent to others and standing by your friends even when they turn on you. Neither is a show for cynics. Ted L...

[quote]Why would anyone pay for a movie streaming service? [/quote]Because we’ve been spoiled to the point where we’re no longer happy with a huge library of free movies. We want every film and TV series ever made, available to us for $4.99 a month. We’re now those people who would only rent fro...

Damn. If they move to Baton Rouge we’ve already wasted that awesome Zydeco name on a hockey team. ...

I think we all know what the best scene was. ...

[quote]What wasn't a thing when it was released was social media. That is why it couldn't be done today.[/quote]You could use social media the same way. You could do a ton of interesting marketing through those platforms. It’s today’s universal cynicism that would damage the attempt. Even though al...

Season 2 is finished if anyone was waiting to binge it. Strong ending. Good set up for Season 3....

[quote]Nowadays With the internet I doubt anything like it will happen again[/quote]Just so people who weren't there know... It wasn't just that there was a huge buzz [i]after[/i] the film was released. The pre-release marketing for the film was almost entirely on the internet and consisted of fake ...

That's it. I'm cancelling all streaming services, cutting up my AMC Stubs Card and increasing my intake of gluten. ...

[quote]it was always 60 year old swingers that no one wanted to see naked.[/quote]Just when I'm old enough to be on the show, they pull the plug....

[quote]I think AppleTV is probably going to take over that "prestige TV" niche.[/quote]All of the streaming hubs are in eternal transition. We're not going to have one or more "great" streaming sites that remain that way for decades. And now that the cable channels are tied in, they'll cycle through...

[quote]I'm canceling my Max subscription. This is ridiculous. [/quote]See you in the Gilded Age thread next month. Cuz you ain’t canceling anything. ...

I feel like I watched Marvel Phase I all the way through Infinity War and then found out they weren’t making Endgame. ...

[quote]Damn that’s disappointing[/quote] Can't think of another show of this high level that intentionally ended on such a horribly unfinished note....

Watching it right now. I never think to mention it on my “stop and watch whenever I come across it” list with Road House and Shawshank, but it’s a stop and watch for sure. ...
