Does this look familiar? It's the Musée d’Orsay--the building The Trial was filmed in. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 Been watching XIII. Almost done with the two-part movie. Will start on the one-season TV series next. Although I did already watch one episode, before I realized there was a prequel movie that sets up the TV series. Pretty good so far. It's like a mashup of Jason Bourne and the Mark Wahlburg character in Shooter. edit: I finished watching the one season of the series. It was okay. A lot of plot holes and inaccuracies though.

Hooked on Huskers Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Netflix Is Losing Almost 2,000 Movies In May Time to time purged movies due to expired rights......... I believe the last devastating period was last December/January. Anyway, I mostly used documentaries section. I like no commercials. Still a bargain IMO ($7.99/mo). BTW, I NEVER used ABC/NBC/CBS networks plus PPV events except sports. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 This is a stock that I am still kicking myself over selling early!!!!! Netflix!!! Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 Just watched "Battle for Haditha." Supposed to be based on actual events. I wonder how accurate it is. Great movie either way, whether accurate or not. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 Just finished the last episode of Weeds. Watched the whole eight seasons over the past several months. Pretty great series. Good ending even. Oddly, or maybe not so, I have an urge to go out and buy a dime bag. / I'm glad Breaking Bad didn't have the same effect. Crystal meth is a bit less forgiving than wildwood weed. From what I've heard. LOL Quote Link to comment
sd'sker Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 home alone drunk out of my gourd and the best thing i could think of doing is watching 'time alone at last'. how apropos? Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 home alone drunk out of my gourd and the best thing i could think of doing is watching 'time alone at last'. how apropos? When I'm home alone for a few days I either: 1) start a home remodeling/construction project; or 2) buy some big gift for myself (e.g., deer rifle, motorcycle, dog). Sometimes I do both of these things. Quote Link to comment

GSG Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I've watched about 5 episodes of the new season of Arrested Development. They're pretty "meh" so far. A couple funny parts here and there. Portia de Rossi looks sick though. She lost WAY too much weight. Quote Link to comment

Portia de Rossi looks sick though. She lost WAY too much weight. I tried watching Arrested Development. But just couldn't get into it after three or four episodes. I'll give it another try sometime. Maybe. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Watched the three-part mini series, Hatfields and McCoys. Pretty good, worth watching. About as enjoyable, as say, Hell on Wheels. Makes me wonder how historically accurate it is. edit: After mulling this over a few days, this really was a good mini-series. Every bit as good as Deadwood I'd say. (And easier to understand what they're saying. lol) Quote Link to comment

Maybe. You have to make it through the first 6 or so episodes before they start getting really funny, then you can see some of the concurrent themes each episode has. Also, those first few episodes seem a lot funnier the second time through the season.The Tobais and Gob episodes are classic. On a separate note, I watched Cabin in the Woods on Netflix last night and really enjoyed it. I'm not a huge horror/gore fan, but this one was very self-referential and made fun of a lot of classic "horror movie" tropes. Plus, I'll watch anything even remotely related to Joss Whedon, and he produced this. 1 Quote Link to comment

Yeah, when I get around to Arrested Development again I think I'll just start watching from the beginning.

I don't think I've seen anything of his that I *didn't* like. Based on that I'll watch Cabin in the Woods. Joss Whedon trivia: His grandfather, John Whedon was a screenwriter and did work on: The Andy Griffith Show, The Dick Van Dyke Show and Leave It to Beaver. Quote Link to comment
