TV and Film

The NBA sucks.


I have a tendency to drive fast. I'm not a car nut though.

But I watched a little of the NETFLIX, "Formula 1". It won't be something I watch much, but the photography is amazing.

I must say that after 5 seasons, most are running on empty, and are only fit for the knackers yard. .

I heard that those that have seen the pre release of Stranger Things that it is the best season yet. I'm looking forward to it.

I posted it twice somehow. I know you're not a fan but I do like it.

I'll be watching it, too.

Netflix or Amazon?

I downloaded it, but google tells me it is also on Netflix.

NETFLIX, "The Lincoln Lawyer" is pretty good. (one season, 10-episodes) I'm in #7.

Hey, let me know what you think...

Only seen episode 1 so far. I will persevere, but it's a bit of a chick flick, and a bit cliche. It could do with a bit more depth to the characters. It's maybe early days yet.

At the moment I am watching some early Dr Who. I have watched the series " The Mind Robber" from 1968 and have started watching "The Dalek Invasion of Earth" series from 1964 (not the film version). I also have "The Green Death" series from 1973. On reading the writeup of the latter it seems that by 1973 the BBC have started to write in the roots of the moral and political correctness that now so screw up their modern storylines (at least to me). Although the ones I have watched and started watching really do show their age, what with being in monochrome and having limited effects they really do have a nieve charm and are a pleasure to watch. It's so nice just to have a simple storyline without being pushed into the side dramas of cryptic messages on sexual orientation, race and politics.

Thinking back, Dr Who was one of my influences which pushed me toward science and engineering. I can still look at the old ones and dream of how such things could be made to work. It may or may not just be nostalgia but when I watch a modern Dr Who it just does not have that same effect. There is just too much drama and bells and whistles in it these days. The senses are pushed too hard leaving little scope for simple imagination. Maybe it's me getting old and present day youth thrive on it. It seems more to me that the side issues are more the point being pushed than the real storyline though. Personally I was always into it more from the science than that. If I wanted drama I would watch "Eastenders". I don't and I won't .

I may not watch new Dr Who's either. We'll see

I enjoyed the Orville..

Yes it was a bit of a Star Trek rip-off but with none of the political correctness.

I am steadily reducing my book collection by taking some to the book exchange. I have hundreds so they take up a lot of space.
