TV and Film

We finished up the recent season of Cobra Kai... it got really wild. Next season will be the last.

We also started on Wu Assassins.. it's only one season and a movie, so thought we'd just knock that out. That's two shows with fighting in it

Yes, I've watched the "Queens Gambit" several times. Fabulous. Her wardrobe is indeed worth the watch but also the sound track. All the characters are well developed plot wise too. It is fiction but I didn't care.

I watched the NETFLIX movie "Lou". If you like to watch older women beat up on good sized men,...never mind.

We are really enjoying the Netflix series Fargo.

So many strange characters on Fargo, and they are based heavily on fact, apparently.

THAT, is scary.

I liked "Schitts Creek" from the start. Even minor characters seemed well cast.

The "fish out of water" narrative is hardly new, but still funny.

Somebody here got me thinking about the entertainment industry and some of the "flops" I've tuned into. Anyway...



There is a saying; “go woke, go broke”. In the entertainment industry the saying appears to be true. Movies with “woke messaging” turn out to be propaganda and dull.

Now propaganda has its place, it can work. But not so much as entertainment.

Movies and such whose principle purpose is messaging are dull for a reason. Character development isn’t possible. The “bad guys” are obvious and cannot change, the “good guys” are obvious and likewise are stagnant. It’s all too predictable.

Who wants to watch movies in which the “bad” stay bad and the “perfect” grows ever more “perfecter”?

We tried out some show.. Death by magic maybe? One episode, and we stopped.. it was just too over-the-top fake.. Like scene splicing magic instead of actual tricks... and it seems most are just actors anyway lol I'm about to talk about the lame scenes from the show below, so if you plan to watch, then do not read.. but if you want to know just how bad it was... then continue!



Aside from the above... we started on Trailer Park Boys...

We finished Wu Assassin and the movie that went with it. It was fun.

Any of you ladies watch " Curb your enthusiasm?

Oh and Im planning to watch Hocus Pocus 2 this weekend..

I always liked the original series.. my SO are going to watch it all over again because we've been seeing some on TV at random, and it's making us nostalgic lol and then maybe one day make it to that newer version.

Yesterday we had a movie day.. We watched the new Hocus Pocus from disney which was ok sequals are never as good as the original but it was a good time movie..

Then OH saw Nan so we watched that ...Nan is the alter ego of Catherine Tate.. Its ok if you like that humour and there were one or two one liners that did make me giggle but I wouldnt waste money paying to see it..

Sometimes I wonder why I choose to watch a movie. I hear that a movie theater will actually refund your ticket if you walk out early. I can’t remember walking out myself so I’m not sure a refund is the policy for a flop or not.

I know I’ve lost faith in critics. And I don’t like movie advertisements that push a movie’s so-called “importance”. Quite the quandary.

Unfortunately I'm not into Stargate SG1. It is a good programme, though. No: I much prefer Star Trek.
