TV

I had DVR'd PGA/Bridgestone to watch tonight, and lo and behold, all I get is a huge Time Warner propaganda banner. Time Warner customers have just lost CBS. Greedy bastards, all of them http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2013/08/02/cbs-time-warner-cable-negotiation/2613667/

I thought last nights Criminal Minds was fantastic, the ending was really good I didn't quite see it coming. Am I the only who has enjoyed the season more than the previous ones now that Mandy Patinkin is gone?

For everyone that has been watching CSI Las Vegas probably knows about the auction. Those who don't, check it out: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=280154305542&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=018 The auction helps a good cause. It's that size because the last case they were on that encompassed the last season was a miniature killer.

I just watched the season premiere of CSI NY and I believe "A Fine Frenzy" performed and played a part in the show. It was pretty neat. Her character was involved in the case they were working on.

Anyone else watch CSI: Miami? It's probably my favorite of the CSI's and I think the first two episodes of this season have both been very good.

Anyone watching Dark? It's a German show on Netflix, I don't even know how to categorize it. Drama, somewhat dystopian, sci-fi (increasingly so as the series progresses). I find it hard to follow because there's so much going on at different times, and also because everyone is German and white and it's tough to even remember people's names and all the intricate ways they're related to each other, but it's really excellent. I'm hoping to finish S2 by Friday.

If there have been mentions of Dave (FXX/Hulu) here I couldn't find it on search, so let's start a thread. If you're like me and late to the party, season 2 recently started and crazy funny/smart. If you're mixed at the pilot jump to episode 3 ("Hypospadias") for a kinda amazing episode of sexual fears/intimacy.

So how was The Unit? David Mamet's Master Class Memo to the Writers of The Unit | Movieline

deadwood is the greatest television series of all time. first.

My amazon gold box shows: Amazon.com: Deadwood: The Complete Seasons 1-3: Michael Almereyda, Timothy Van Patten: Movies & TV $90 for all of Deadwood. Too bad I don't have a spare $90

The new season starts Sunday. Any fans? I've been hooked since day one. Looking forward to this season even more, what with the family man aspect and all.

I'll admit I was moved to tears. And so unexpected...

Partway through the first episode and I'm already thinking, "Serve yourselves, you useless fucks."

I'm sorry. I can't help it. I am mesmorized by the Quest commercials that take a black and white sand image of one thing (like a tree and it's still reflection in a lake) and have a set of graceful female hands skillfully and dynamically move that sand to create another completely different image before our very eyes (a vase of flowers.) Slight of hand. Simple. Elagant. Unlike anything else out there. Have you seen it? Does it move you?

Anyone watching this during the Russian invasion of Ukraine? https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2022/mar/18/american-song-contest-eurovision-usa-states

Just a few episodes in, but liking it so far.

In the same vein as the Movie and Music Lyric threads. Series: Red Dwarf Episode: Stasis leak Rimmer: Now kindly cluck off, before I extract your gibblets, and shove a large seasoned onion between the lips you never kiss with. One of my favourite tv shows for dialogue, peruse these to see what I mean. http://www.freewebs.com/reddwarfquotes/main.htm http://www.theninemuses.net/quotes/reddwarf.html

The first part of the film is being premiered in the UK on "Sky one" 6pm this Sunday with the second part showing the next day, theoretically it'll be appearing more widely shortly after that. http://www.skyoneonline.co.uk/tcom/ The effects look good, particularly the luggage so I'm looking forward to watching it

firefly coming to blu-ray

The series "Flash Gordon" kicks off tonight at 8pm on sci-fi channel in the UK http://www.scifi.co.uk/flashgordon/ I'll likely watch it when it repeats later in the week

Okay, the same weekend GoT finishes, the second and last season of Fleabag hits Amazon Prime (it’s already aired in Britain). Can we now call it the best thing on TV? Know there are other fans here, including Stretch, and suspect there would be many more given the chance.

Watched the premiere last night. It kicked all sorts of ass, and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing where it goes. Oh, and yeah, I Anna Torv. That is all.

Starting this Thursday at 10pm on IFC.

Who likes 'em? Lena Dunham pretty much just rejiggered Tiny Furniture with a little Apatow assist, but probably the most interesting HBO series pilot I've seen in a bit. On YouTube and DailyMotion if you don't have HBO.
