Author Topic: What are you watching? The thread about what you're watching. (Read 480470 times)

There are many "What are you...?" threads, but I don't think I've seen one about what's currently got you hooked to the tube (or flat screen). Can be any show, film, cartoon, anime, miniseries, etc.

I have a short attention span these days, so stuff like movies even takes a few sittings to finish.

Currently I'm rewatching Seven Samurai, this time on Blu-ray.

The last time I saw this was 15 years ago. Before that, I didn't know what distinguished a good film from a bad one. I thought all movies were just movies. This changed everything.
I suddenly realized what defined a "good" movie, and what defined amazing acting.

Also rewatching Tales from the Crypt. Don't know why I was watching that when I was five or six way back when.

PS
No spoilers, please.

I have two shows I'm watching at any given time. One is my "me" show that I watch on my own. Until tonight it was One Punch Man. Now I need another show. :/

The other is my "us" show, and I stream it to my GF through Skype since she doesn't have Netflix. We're watching Star Wars: The Clone Wars right now. Man that show is good.

This is why I love Plex. It tracks it for me. Personal collection is outrageous. And this is post-scrub and rebuild. I still have a TON of movies on my old JBOD array that I haven't had time to move yet.

Just finished binge watching "Making a Murderer" over the last 2 days. Very good. I am also working my way through "One Piece" at 1-2 episodes a day with a couple 3-4 episode days when I have the time. Weekly show with the wifey is "Biggest Looser".

My wife insisted that we watch it. When the first episode was over, I got up and said, "Well, that was good. I'm glad it's over."

And she said "What? There are 10 episodes."

I thought the same thing when I watched the first episode. And then I went back to the menu and saw there were 9 more episodes.

Swap your rating of 2 and 3 and that's how I feel as well.

2 and 3 were definitely close, but I feel like 3 took away the magic part of being stuck in the same place as the baddies and outnumbered.

The new season of X Files is not so great. You'd get a similar experience sitting next to some dude in a tinfoil hat on the bus and letting him ramble for 40 minutes. That's what these new episodes feel like, just tiring and tedious. the third episode (of the 3 I've seen) is by far the best one. Episodes 1 and 2 are lame, especially episode 2 which was just flat out bad.

The best thing I've watched recently is With Bob And Dave on Netflix. One of the funniest and creative sketch comedy programs in many years. Would recommend.

And in terms of movies: I recently saw The Little Prince. What an absolutely lovely and endearing film! I cannot believe this one flew under the radar like this, it's better than most recent Pixar films. If you have the time and want to watch something beautiful and wonderful go see The Little Prince.
