Isn’t this by the Train to Busan guy? It’s on my list and I definitely want to watch it. Korean horror shows and films have rarely let me down.

Andor is almost too good to be a Star Wars show, especially based on the last 30 or so years of the franchise.
This latest episode was fantastic and looked beautiful.

The Korean shows are mostly the only reason for keeping Netflix these days. Lots of good stuff if you can deal with subtitles. |

I've resumed watching The Americans (s5).
There was a snippet of Martha in Russia now. It was brutal what Philip did to her but assume there is more to her story. I like how Agent Beeman stood up for his Russian counterpart. I definitely did not see that twist coming. Don't know if Agent Beeman's girlfriend is a spy but even before Philip & Elizabeth theorized it, I was thinking it. I think yes. I ff through the Paige stuff. Too much teenage angst for me to enjoy. But do think she is a great actress. |

The series finale was fantastic. I would have liked a happier ending and I thought the priest thing was a little rushed, but the tension was so well paced. Especially the garage scene. And loved how it played out on the train. FX needs to come back and do a 2 part special. Last edited by Edward64 : 10-17-2022 at 11:11 PM. |

Andor is a great show. It's way smarter than Boba Fett and Obi Wan. It takes the time to build characters, even on the Empire's side. It's well worth checking out. For anyone on the fence about giving it a try, definitely give it at least the first 3 episodes before deciding that it isn't for you. Last edited by Kodos : 10-20-2022 at 01:14 PM. |

I guess Stage 1 of Operation: Home Profile is underway. I got an email from Netflix inviting me to transfer the profile of anyone using my account to a new account they set up. I assume at the beginning of 2023, I'll get an email threatening to shut down my account if people who don't reside with me are using my account.

I have no problem with legitimate abuse. For instance, my parents use our 5th slot and have for years. They should have their own account or I'll pay extra for them to use. But kids in college still live with their parents. Why would Netflix (of all things!) be different than things like cell phones, health insurance, car insurance, etc.?
I can't wait for Amazon to go this route next...

The problem is like everything else, the minority of people who abuse it screw it up for the rest of us. We live 20 minutes from Six Flags. Get passes every year. Pay about $120 extra for the meal plan and always get our moneys worth. My kids split a chicken finger basket, I usually get a slice, and they can each get an ice cream or something. Also comes with a refillable drink bottle. That alone would cost over $60 so it is well worth it. Well of course morons started abusing it, using it every day just to feed themselves or their family, then posted about it on tic tok so Six Flags shut it down. I was really pissed about that one because over the course of the year I am probably out 5-600 extra in food. |

Did anyone here ever do the Olive Garden anytime pass thing they used to do? Of course not, you value your health.
Anyway, a good friend of mine not only did it, he ate nearly every meal there for the 2 or 3 months the pass was good for. I remember him easily surpassing 100 meals. He would post/brag about it on FB. I suppose people like him are the reason they haven't brought that back.

For a fellow zombie aficionado, check out Netflix's Rampant. Similar to The Kingdom in time and type of zombie (don't like the sunlight) but not a direct prequel/sequel. I didn't like it as much as The Kingdom but some good zombie action. |

I don't watch new scripted shows/movies at all, but I'll probably make an exception for this show coming to Peacock in January. I don't know anything about Rian Johnson or Natasha Lyonne other than they are both huge Columbo fans, and this show is supposed to basically be the Columbo reboot that would have been too difficult to do under the Columbo name.
That may be way too promising an intro, but I'll definitely be giving it a shot seeing as though Columbo is my favorite show of all time.

Certainly, the 70s style and some less-than-appropriate characters/commentary come glaringly through, but Columbo will always work for me, no matter the setting. Frankly, the 70s episodes aged way better than the reboot from the late 80s and 90s.
The show had a rebirth of sorts during the pandemic - all of sudden I started seeing articles popping up about people binging the show and discovering/rediscovering how great it is and how different it is from most detective shows (it's not a whodunnit but howcatchem).

I realize that this crowd isn't likely to be that into rom-coms, but Mrs. A was in the mood for one on Friday, so we watched Set It Up on Netflix. Fun little movie. Very much in the classic 80s/90s style. Nothing groundbreaking, but well acted and well written. And I always prefer the heroines to be more really cute than hot, and the woman in this one fits the bill.
If you are looking for a date-night type of thing, you could do a lot worse. |

I know I sound like a broken record, but Andor remains amazing. It's shocking how good a show this is. It could be the best Star Wars material since Empire. This is coming from someone who has said Star Wars is his favorite movie since I was seven years old and has spent more money than I am willing to admit on Mandalorian collectibles and a replica helmet! The opening scene in this latest episode was so fucking good.

The consensus I see on the Intarwebs seems to amount to: "fun series, especially if you can ignore anything you know about Tolkien's universe" which I feel only reinforces my point above. Give everyone shortlisted for a Hugo or Nebula (for the written awards, even short stories) in the past 5 years $1M to write some sort of spec script and develop one of those. |

Give Rothfuss $5-$10M to finish his 3rd book. Give him a % of the series profits.
He seems very focused on Worldbuilders which is admirable. But that type of money will (hopefully) encourage him to finish the darn thing. |

Thought it was pretty well done. Some holes in the story line but the idea of someone emerging from the deep sleep, his challenges, and some hints of the future is pretty neat. |

I just finished the final season of the Italian series Gomorrah (Gomorra) and what a wild ride it was. I think that it is available in the US either on Netflix or HBO Max but it is the story of the mafia primarily set in Naples. It was beautifully shot and the story had a lot of twists. It was akin to a Game of Thrones drama set in modern times and the lead, Salvatore Esposito, featured in the latest season of Fargo.
Five seasons and highly recommended. |
