TV and Film

The branch davidians, order of the solar temple, manson family, the peoples temple... Faith or belief made victims of all of them..

You need to watch The Righteous Gemstones, you will love it.

Where do you watch it? I don't have HBO ;p

Now you're going to get a bill in the mail! lol

Discovered an old movie, "Peter's Friends". Emma Thompson played one "friend". She has an interesting and kind face, somewhat like the characters in a Dr. Suess book.

Seems "The Big Chill" (never watched it) is an earlier American version.

There is a new premiere on HBO Max today, Malignant. I'll watch it tonight.

I know, that's the kind of movies I love, horror and sci-fi.

I'll finish watching Flash Gordon (from the 80's sci-fi collection I got) but it's not that great as a superhero movie, IMO. I did think that Battlestar Galactica (in the same collection, though it's from 1978) was good for its time period. I may just finish watching the 2000's BG miniseries, though it was quite a lot darker plotwise. I applaud their changes for Starbuck in that miniseries, especially once I had seen the actress play Bo Katan in The Mandalorian.

I forgot yesterday that I had meant to avoid many of the Star Trek series I own, just for family watching though - I'm not ready for the youngest to be tempted to parrot back any profanity, plus the serious edge in many of the episodes isn't a good fit for him, anyway. I thought we'd stick to the original or the 70's animated series until Star Trek Prodigy starts... And then someone mentioned checking out a 7th season episode of Deep Space Nine, which was definitely more serious because of the war happening throughout a season or two. It wasn't a scarring experience, I'm sure, for the youngest, but oops! on my part for neglecting to steer them towards something else. Gotta switch to Disney+ for family entertainment, I think, rather than video on demand through our TV provider...

Oh I did watch Malignant. Creepy is a good word for it, also bizarre and quite gorey. Would I recommend this movie. A definite yes if you like horror, I loved it. But just remember, there is much in horror that I don't like lol.

We're watching the final season of Lucifer.

At OH's request we watched an Irish comedy last night.. Called Hard times and starring Linda Hamilton ( terminator).
Its a lot of Irish swearing and those not familiar with the accent might need subtitles but it was a good laugh.

Just about to start the final season of Line of Duty.

Almost finished the final season of Third Rock from the Sun
