TV and Film

You should complain... I have a daughter who's, very successful, diet plan revolves around fidgeting. 

Absolutely not they are a worldwide hit I just wonder what it is about me that I I can't seem to focus on them.
It's the same with the hobbit and lord of the rings I've read both books so many times I've lost count. I absolutely love those stories but I cannot watch the films they just do not grab my attention.

any of you watch yellowstone? i used to watch old westerns with dad when we were kids and he had some playing this week at the house. yellowstone is a western and pretty good. like a western soap opera.

i'm not sleeping good tonight so i might be in and out.

I love the movie "Legend". I subscribe and watch it on YouTube.

It is such a brilliant film. I've watched it 100's of times now. I love the characters. Lily and Jack are perfectly suited. The devil is amazing and utterly cool. I also love the fairies and other mythological creatures.

I guess Legend appeals to me because I am half-Irish and have an interest in Irish folklore.

If you guys subscribe to YouTube, you also get access to other movies not available on Amazon or other websites.

I would try the HP books. We have second-hand copies that the oldest keeps on his shelf (though he's missing one, so he borrows the library's copy when he's reading through in order). There are nice illustrated hardcovers (but expensive) that are a bit scary for the youngest to see, so we have our two put away for now.

I think that usually movies do a fairly good job, but there are just times that the pacing means they miss out on depth. Sometimes there wasn't a ton of depth to start with (like the Twilight series) but still, the pacing is too fast to make a ton of sense and hook the audience.

So far, one movie I enjoyed better than the book was The Jane Austen Book Club. Didn't work for me when I tried to read it, but that was after seeing the movie first...

And two examples of stories that are quite different book vs movie, but both formats enjoyable: Ella Enchanted is one, The Princess Diaries is another. You just have to try to think of them as completely separate, even though they have characters in common.

The Hunt for Red October was a brilliant book had me on the edge of my seat the film oh my lord that was so boring it was an antidote to insomnia.

That sounds like a good book...

Professor T is on Disney + . I didnt see this because its on ITV and we dont get ITV here, so Im pleased to see it pop up I like the silly detective things.

How to get Rebecca to watch a Christmas movie on TV: Name it Pride, Prejudice & Mistletoe. The story was okay and not too different from most Christmas movies, though I was diverted by trying to determine which character names corresponded to Jane Austen's characters. (Darcy was the female lead in this movie, with Luke in Lizzie's place. That was just the start, of course, for characters, but most of the plot didn't follow P&P.)

I get the impression that it might be a tad boring...

I liked generations it was a good spin on the ST stories.

"Working through" and "killed off"? One to miss then

Cherry I agree. It was just overdone.
