Who mentioned White Lotus? cherry was it you?

Anyway flicking through the menus on tv last night it came by so I thought Id give it a try... Talk about strange..
I dont mean bad but a bit off the wall..
Still trying to dislodge the biscuit I choked on when a pair of testicles filled my screen unexpectedly.

Not me.

Was it worth continuing?

Episode 3 and it just gets stranger...

With all the apps I've added on my Roku TV, I still have trouble deciding what to watch! I settled on The Carol Burnett Show recently while browsing Tubi TV, and it was an episode with Sonny and Cher as guest singers. Interesting, though the humour of the show sometimes fell flat (as well as Sonny and Cher's song choices). Still love Harvey Korman (who was hilarious in the Star Wars Holiday Special) and Carol, too.

Looking forward to a new season of a really cool show, part of the "additional donor content" coming soon to Redeem TV: Vindication Season 2! I've been waiting a couple years for this season! So exciting!

Tha's what happens to me too. To many choices makes it hard to decide. Sometimes I swear I spend more time looking for a movie to watch than how long the movie is that i decide on...

Chase your dreams. In high heels of course.

The white lotus... dont.

It was a bit like x rated crossroads for anyone old enough to recall that dreadful soap.

there was no climax to it, no great storyline and some very ear grating loud music.

Being treated to the sight of seeing someone take a dump in a suitcase didnt do me any favours either!

I'm just watching another Danish film ma about a group of drag queens who are failing in their latest adventures until a young woman comes along and disguises herself as a boy to join their dance troupe.
Complete nonsense but hey it's Saturday afternoon and the alternative is Cliff Richard!

I usually don't watch Marvel movies when they first come out. I'm so behind, but I do enjoy them when I get around to them usually. I still haven't watched Black Panther, so that might be the next one on my list xD

Black Panther is a must! I was also skeptical, but it was a fun ride overall. RIP Chadwick Boseman though, wondering who would continue his legacy for future movies. Doctor Strange is another must-watch. I also enjoy the new Spiderman with Tom Holland.

Interesting to say that he's your hero, sounds like he plays such a huge role in your life. But that's cool! I enjoy him as an actor. I think his personal life is somewhat messy but nothing too serious.

At OHs request we watched equaliser 2.. typical spy action movie lots of shooting lots of blood lots of gratuitous violence. The only saving grace was the magnificent Denzel Washington.. who has the most marvelous sexy smile and twinkly eyes.

I did see the first Doctor Strange, and I liked it! I have not seen any of the newer Spiderman movies... the last ones I saw had Tobey Maguire lol I also have watched the first Venom movie, which I also liked.

I'm excited for the new Cinderella movie from Prime Video, but took time to watch the 90's Cinderella musical with Brandy and Whitney Houston. Lots of other big names in the business, too. So fun! I remember I liked it then, and still do! I'm glad I have Disney+ because it was easy to find there.

My last movie before that was either from Prime Video or Disney+. Can't remember which, but I was checking the titles in the Black Stories category (or a similar name, depending on the streaming service) because I often find good stuff there. I thought Marry Me for Christmas was really fun.

(Yep, Christmas again! LOL)

I watched the trailer for Foundation recently, and would be interested in that series. I don't have AppleTV, so I may need to wait for a while. Or find the Isaac Asimov book...

Buy the three foundation books. It is Asimov's best work.

Yay, I can't believe Foundation is being made into a film. I just hope it is better than I,Robot.

I discovered Downton Abbey from series 1 episode 1 on netflix. I never saw it on tv so Ive started watching.. A nice gentle show..

Plus all this Norweigen and Danish stuff Ive been watching lately is starting to rub off.. Im speaking Dutch with a Danish accent and growling like a Norweigen.

I was surprised to like this too. My favourite character is, oh I forget her name. Maggie Smith played her. She was great.

We enjoyed it so much, we watched Upstairs Downstairs too.

I used to be allowed to stay up and watch upstairs downstairs the original series when I was a child.
Maggie Smith is hilarious as the dowager countess. I nearly choked on my tea when someone mentioned weekends and she did a double take and exclaimed 'and what exactly is a weekend'?

I am not sure if she has great lines, or is simply a great actress in full control of her medium.

She was absolutely brilliant in the film hot millions a 1968 caper with Peter Ustinov.

Nice. Can't wait for the next movies for Doctor Strange and Venom too. Venom's Carnage is coming pretty soon I think, can't remember the exact dates. I guess I liked the way this new Spiderman interacted with other characters in the universe, especially Iron Man in earlier movies, and I enjoyed his solo movies as well. Hopefully the new movie will be just as good, people were somehow hyped up after a familiar face popped up at the end of the trailer.
