TV and Film

I watched the latest episode of All Creatures Great & Small (Season 2) last night from PBS. Still enjoying it, but I'm not sure if I want it to follow the books closely or not... Anyway, I like watching Samuel West each episode!

After Pris mentioning it. We watched Joe and the Volcano.

It was sort of adequate to pass 90 minutes or so.

The new All Creatures... series is the one I've been watching. My mum likes the old series.

Catching up on the Boba Fett series tonight. It's okay. At least I'll be in the know now, plus I'll be ready for the next season of The Mandalorian since there's a bunch of crossover action happening.

What I'm more excited about is how much Star Trek there is going to be this year - Paramount+ wants to stop people from just dropping the service when their show is over, so they're going to run one after another all year long. It's a good time to be a Star Trek fan!

Ive just come downstairs and found OH watching the ST movie generations...

The Olympic opening ceremony was spectacular.

Totally get that, as it's something I've seen coming for a long time - how much streaming can people afford? You might need to catch the show when it comes out to own, and then you'll get all the special features too! (I love those!)

I can get Star Trek and Doctor Who on a sci-fi channel from one of our Canadian networks. I just pay a bit extra per month to add that channel to my cable provider's basic package. Now that additional fee will be better spent if there's always Star Trek to watch! 

It seems out of control. Everyone is jumping inn the bandwagon and starting new streaming services. 

I watched the film "Promising Young Woman" on YouTube today: it was BRILLIANT. It has adult material but it isn't shocking and doesn't have graphic imagery.

The storyline was sometimes fun and yet dark. It was about revenge basically, but you actually end up having sympathy and understanding why Cassie wanted revenge. But it is not all doom and gloom: its colours and its film scenes are often fun and vibrant. It is set in the nightlife and the neon lights really make the film pop. The director really knew his/her stuff. Plus, the music is excellent and fits the scenes. Again, there are fun parts of the film.

You'd have to watch it to see what I mean, but it is really worth a watch. It was released in 2020, so isn't too old a film.

I thought of Saving Hope when I saw Raising Hope. Here's the IMDB page: www.imdb.com/title/tt1954804/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_10 I think it was filmed in Canada, and it was quite good for a plotline. Don't remember if I saw it all the way to the end of the series... I'll have to check for some spoilers about it.

I'm keeping up with Olympic coverage for now, but might have to take some breaks and prioritise some sports over others. I wanna just take it all in!

It's a very good, thoughtful fill for sure.

Has anyone tried Benidorm on Netflix yet?

After me raving about how funny it is?

I havent but OH did and he loved it...

We're watching Startup.
