kinuta Posted May 22, 2010 Report Posted May 22, 2010 Currently watching Check out his ' My Voyage To ItalY, which is just as good. I'm looking forward to his long awaited take on British cinema as well as the George Harrison tribute, 'Living In The Material World'. Quote
Van Basten II Posted May 23, 2010 Report Posted May 23, 2010 Just added it up on your recommendation. Just back from the bar seeing a fine boxing doubleheader Mares-Perez and Vasquez-Marquez IV Quote
Jazzmoose Posted May 23, 2010 Report Posted May 23, 2010 Vasquez-Marquez IV Wow...they're both still alive? I've been watching a few of "The NFLs Greatest Games" on Hulu. They have the game that made me a football fanatic (the 'ice bowl' in '67) and the game that drove a stake in my heart for football (the playoff between the Falcons and Cowboys in '81). Good memories and bad... Quote

A Lark Ascending Posted May 23, 2010 Report Posted May 23, 2010 Just started series 3. How many more skeletons can Don Draper have in his cupboard? And will they all fall out at once? Quote
BruceH Posted May 24, 2010 Report Posted May 24, 2010 Season 3 is quite good as I recall. But then, I'm a fan. Quote
jazzbo Posted May 24, 2010 Report Posted May 24, 2010 Just started series 3. How many more skeletons can Don Draper have in his cupboard? And will they all fall out at once? I think Draper has enough to supply a few medical schools. Quote
catesta Posted May 24, 2010 Report Posted May 24, 2010 Just started series 3. How many more skeletons can Don Draper have in his cupboard? And will they all fall out at once? Keep on watching he won't disappoint.I'm all caught up on Treme and started in on The Pacific last Saturday night. HBO continues to be a great source of hits. Quote
kinuta Posted May 25, 2010 Report Posted May 25, 2010 24 Hardcore baby, a great, thrilling end that did not disappoint. Quote
Dave James Posted May 25, 2010 Report Posted May 25, 2010 24 Hardcore baby, a great, thrilling end that did not disappoint. Absolutely. Couldn't have been better. I guess now all we have to look forward to now is the feature film. Who knows if that will work or not. What I do know is that the series has set the bar awfully high. Between this and the conclusion of Lost, you feel like you're losing two old friends. I suppose having survived without The Sopranos and Six Feet Under, I'll figure out a way to muddle through. Quote
BruceH Posted May 25, 2010 Report Posted May 25, 2010 Been revisiting some old episodes of Homicide lately. These days, that show would have been on cable. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted May 25, 2010 Report Posted May 25, 2010 Keep on watching he won't disappoint. Oh I will. Interesting to see the Buddhist burning in Saigon in last night's episode. Expecting JFK to be shot any moment; and then Vietnam to enter stage left. They constantly reference genuine companies (or once companies) - Lucky Strike, Playtex etc - as opposed to the usual trick of making them up. Wonder how much that cost them. Quote
jlhoots Posted May 25, 2010 Report Posted May 25, 2010 24 Hardcore baby, a great, thrilling end that did not disappoint. I agree. Very well done. Quote
BruceH Posted May 26, 2010 Report Posted May 26, 2010 Currently watching Damned if that thing didn't get me turned on to T-Men, one of my favorite crime B-movies of all time. Quote

They probably don't have it on the DVD but when the the show is airing on AMC during the commercial breaks it is not uncommon for them to run vintage ad or two. Quote

Matthew Posted May 29, 2010 Report Posted May 29, 2010 (edited) Off Hulu: A bunch of episodes of The Dick Van Dyke Show, The one where Big Max Calvata's nephew wants to get into show business -- hilarious! Now Rob and Jerry are buying a boat together, the Betty Lou, geesh, this is a great show... Edited May 29, 2010 by Matthew Quote
BruceH Posted May 30, 2010 Report Posted May 30, 2010 I've long thought of the The Dick Van Dyke show as one of the best sitcoms of all time. People love to harsh my buzz by saying, "I never liked the kid," or some such. Yeah. Well, no show is perfect I guess... But dang if it wasn't pretty damn awesome. Quote

kinuta Posted May 30, 2010 Report Posted May 30, 2010 England vs Japan : End of the 1st half.OMG England are crap, they are actually being outplayed by Japan. I can hardly believe it. Quote
jazzbo Posted May 30, 2010 Report Posted May 30, 2010 I resisted for quite some time, but I finally started watching the first season of Sons of Anarchy. What a weird show, in many ways entertaining, but I confess there's about five minutes of every episode I wish I hadn't seen. Quote
jazzbo Posted June 7, 2010 Report Posted June 7, 2010 Watching my uncle in his first acting role, as a "special guest artist" on the episode "The Top Hat Job" on the "Leverage: Season Two" DVD set. He plays the CEO of a company, Willam Taylor Price who becomes an unwitting pawn in the "con" that Hutton and his time are involved in. I am of course BIASED AS HELL, he's my uncle, one of my favorite family members (he's my dad's younger brother, and only twelve years older than I, so he was always somehow "easier to relate to" for we nieces and nephews.) I believe Jack decided to try out for a part as a Congressman in large part because years and years ago he ran for Congress and lost, and I'm sure he thought, "this would be cool to do, be a Congressman for a day or two". . . He read for the part, and then they called him back and asked him if he would be interested in reading for a part in another episode, which he apparently nailed. Jack has been a CEO in his past and he so naturally acts someone that MIGHT be himself. .. . His comedic timing and his comfort in the the role really seem to shine through. He says it was a gas. He denies this, but I'm pretty sure he also got a change made into the script. The big bad really rotten villain in the episode shares (though not spelled exactly the same way) the name of my brother-in-law (who anyone who knows him knows he's one of the nicest persons in the world). It's hilarious to keep hearing his name, and they even make a big deal of saying that someone with his name as spelled is VERY EVIL. Quite a wonderful experience for my uncle, and already he is now involved in a short independent film. He has a Radio and Television degree from Oberlin, though he didn't use it much for nearly forty years til he retired when he started doing voice overs in advertising and now acting. Quote
