n_maher Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Started, and will finish, watching Blindspot last night. Looks like it has potential but the male lead (from HBO's Strike Back) never struck me as a particularly great actor. And yes, I'm also looking forward to the next season of Gotham.

n_maher Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 I watched the first 15 minutes or so of the Muppets and found it disappointingly unfunny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I liked it overall for what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironbut Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) Blindspot seemed pretty formulaic (but what isn't?).Just didn't hold my attention very well.I'll give it a few more tries though.Of course, I'm totally hooked on The Strain so what do I know?

Dusty Chalk Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 I watched the first 15 minutes or so of the Muppets and found it disappointingly unfunny.It's certainly no Jim Henson show, the self-doubt and self-hate on the part of Fozzie and Kermit were a bit much. I hope they tone that down, but there were enough easter egg adult jokes for me to come back next week. Is my memory deceiving me, or was Fozzie's girlfriend different in the commercial (brunette) than on the show? I vaguely remember a brunette.

blessingx Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Speaking of shows with children in mind, saw my first full episode of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood this week (a few dozen episodes just released on Netflix). In such public consciousness, I thought I had seen it before I did, and Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood has been a staple here for a couple years, but it was even better than I expected. Talked with GF and figured she was watching Fred about the time I was consuming (ma and pop were ahead of their time with free range [TV watching] parenting) - Tarantula, Blob, original Little Shop of Horrors, THEM!, etc. Is this where our lives diverged (and she ended up much kinder)? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Someone on Facebook recently accused me of having consumed way too many drugs at some point in my life. I corrected him (I didn't take drugs, even though I grew up in the 70s), but allowed that maybe I was allowed to watch too many horrible horror movies during the 70s (I blame my babysitters).So...yeah, maybe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullguise Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Well, hey, I watched a lot of b-grade horror flicks growing up, too. And, all 3 of us boys wanted my mother to marry a certain boyfriend after she was divorced, specifically because he watched Creature Double Feature and The Three Stooges with us.What could possibly have gone wrong....? With him, or me? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessingx Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Funny, I had the reverse situation. My mother almost married the first guy who came around after the divorce. He was a newish private detective who upon hearing I was home from film school (and liked Art and international films at the time) decided he'd impress us with a trip to his favorite movie - Top Gun. Wish I could remember his name to see how that career went. See if I watched Mister Rogers I'd have said something nicer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it doesn't get better I won't be sticking with it just for the tattoos. Edited September 25, 2015 by n_maher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullguise Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 I'm not embarrassed to admit I like the pretty amnesiac kicks ass while she remembers things plot, and Jaimie Alexander is kind of like Hanna meets Jason Bourne to me, Formulaic? Yeah, it resembles/steals from a few things. But I'm not looking for anything too deep, so I'll likely enjoy it unless the so-so acting gets too much in the way. I'll be curious to see how they unravel the mystery of her tattoos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n_maher Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Unless of course you can't even get through the entirety of the first show.True enough. There's definitely a line where I will either commit to watching more or moving on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) Kermit: "I'd like to talk about last night's show -- let's start with the band: when Piggy starts interviewing the guests, that's your cue to stop playing."Dr. Teeth: "Ah. Did not know that. Perhaps we should dismystify any further misconfusion with a daily confabulation type meeting."Kermit: "We have meetings every morning, you're in one right now."Zoot: "Huh, this is a meeting? (straightens throat) I'm Zoot. And I'm..."(someone else): "Different meeting."Zoot: "Oh."Yeah, I know, I have a twisted sense of humour. I went to the top of Diamondhead once, when I was in Hawaii on work. The previous person took me. It was beautiful. So when the next person came along, I took them. Unfortunately, there were much more people that time. And they were all kind of quiet and kept to themselves. Like library quiet. It was like that scene in The Birds when the birds aren't doing anything, but there's still a lot of tension, because there's still a lot of them. Then someone called the meeting to order. We excused ourselves quickly. My coworker had a similar sense of humour to mine -- he said, "I realize it's early but all of sudden I'm thirsty, do you want to go get a drink?" Watched the pilot for Minority Report (free on Amazon, not sure if prime or everyone, would presume everyone) -- meh, they made it into a procedural by separating the 3 and giving one so strong a conscience that he feels obliged to act, but he is the weakest of the 3, so is somewhat stymied. Setup seems fragile for an entire show. That said, I like procedurals and I like sci-fi, so will watch.Also, season 2 of Blacklist just hit Netflix.

Dusty Chalk Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Blacklist season two -- goddamn, I love this show. James Spader fucking rules. He fucking carries this show.Watching the first episode of Zoo -- love the premise, plus any show whose opening sequence starts with a close-up of a black cat's eyes...

Dusty Chalk Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) Finished Blacklist (season 2), I see that Homeland has a new season out, need to start renting those disks.Gave up on Zoo after second episode -- just too much fake science exposition. Not sure why it annoyed me so much, but just gave up. Reminded me of reading Dean R. Koontz.Started Dark Matter -- poor man's Firefly, I'm liking it so far. Lot cheesier, but enjoyably so. And watching Zoie Palmer (whom I don't think emotes a whole lot in Lost Girl) act emotionless as an android.Also, second shortest opening sequence (after Blacklist).

Dusty Chalk Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Dark Matter -- I love the writing on this show:Five: He seemed happy here.Three: He seemed nothing. That guy was harder to read than that book he gave me.One: That book is a classic.Three: Whatever. Pig's a wimp. Spider's a know-it-all.
