ironbut Posted January 15, 2017 Report Posted January 15, 2017 Just finished season 2 of The Man in the High Castle. I'm with Dusty! Just magical! Right up there with the best of the best! 1

The premise is interesting, and the girl is adorable. I can't believe I'm watching a soap opera. I can't believe I'm enjoying it.
Dusty Chalk Posted February 1, 2017 Report Posted February 1, 2017 I'm about 25 minutes into Sour Grapes -- an hour and twenty-five minute documentary on wine douches. I have to stop, I'll finish it later. I spent too much time and energy saying "fuck you" to the screen. "Just fuck you." 1
Hopstretch Posted February 1, 2017 Report Posted February 1, 2017 It's a pretty good film. The private equity wankstain (doing the shtick about champagne in the limo -- "'86 is the vintage to buy. If you can't afford '86 then buy '02. If you can't afford '02 then drink fuckin' beer") is so spot on that you couldn't honestly design a better caricature. The fact that they all got scammed hard precisely because of their pretentious epicureanism makes it extra delicious. 2
ironbut Posted February 2, 2017 Report Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) Just finished Fortitude available on Amazon Prime. One of those shows that makes you want to watch "just one more episode tonight" so the 12 episodes go by in a flash. Some good frozen tundra fare complete with Stanley Tucci and a wooly mammoth! I'd give it 7 out of 10. Edited February 2, 2017 by ironbut 3

Dusty Chalk Posted February 2, 2017 Report Posted February 2, 2017 Oh, yeah, that was great. I stopped watching at exactly the wrong moment. That was all setup. They hinted at what was going to be revealed, but they hadn't gotten around to it yet where I stopped.
Dusty Chalk Posted February 4, 2017 Report Posted February 4, 2017 Santa Clarita Diet -- this show is the BEST! I love black comedies. 1
Dusty Chalk Posted February 4, 2017 Report Posted February 4, 2017 Yup, today's the day! "I've been looking [...for zombie literature...]" "You'll find zombie literature in our lifestyle section, next to the fertility crystals. If you hit witch balls, you've gone too far." "Isn't that always the case?"
Dusty Chalk Posted February 11, 2017 Report Posted February 11, 2017 Michael Bolton's Big Sexy Valentine's Day Special -- that was the stupidest most entertaining comedy special I think I've ever seen.
Grahame Posted February 13, 2017 Report Posted February 13, 2017 Something to lipread https://video.twimg.com/tweet_video/C4g2JG6WAAEs43w.mp4
Hopstretch Posted February 13, 2017 Report Posted February 13, 2017 Never would have guessed! [emoji6] 3
ironbut Posted February 15, 2017 Report Posted February 15, 2017 This is for Mike (hope this reminds you of better times) who saw this tour! Steve Hackett-Genesis Revisted Glorious 1080 BluRay rip! 2
mikeymad Posted February 15, 2017 Report Posted February 15, 2017 Sorry Steveo - I liked way before I realized how good it was.. changing rating to--- FUCKING LIKE!! Thanks of sharing 1
ironbut Posted February 15, 2017 Report Posted February 15, 2017 I really loved everything about that video. The video editing was so fluid and natural that it never distracted or seemed out of place. And the sound! The Royal Albert Hall just embraced the performance with just the right bit of reverb and warmth. And whoever did the mix/mastering did an awesome job! Maybe the bass was a little "one note-ish" but it was forward and loud just like most live performances. I'm sure they could have hyped the bass with a heavy DI (direct injection as opposed to the microphone feed from the amps) but that almost always makes the bass sound unnaturally tight and not at all what the audience hears. Of course, I would have loved to see Pete and Tony Banks up there but that would be another concert. 2
Pars Posted February 16, 2017 Report Posted February 16, 2017 Someone might have posted this before, but remastered audio, live 1973 performance 1
ironbut Posted February 16, 2017 Report Posted February 16, 2017 Yup, that's a classic concert film! I love that early tv clip of Musical Box too. I'm always shocked at how young everybody looks but the energy is out of this world! I might sound like my parents but "I don't think I was ever that young!" 1
grawk Posted February 19, 2017 Report Posted February 19, 2017 Travelers on Netlix. Binged the first 8 episodes. It's interesting, and sometimes intense. Some weaknesses in the writing, but not a bad way to blow half a day. 1
