Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION The Anywhere Machine So what are you WATCHING?

Stumbled across an episode of "Little House on the Prairie"... the school teacher was in horse and buggy accident, so Mrs. Ingalls was asked to fill in... she was trying to help one of the older students learn to read when Mrs. Olsen came in and called the student dumb in front of everyone...

Boy, that Mrs. Olsen was a real beyotch...

My Girlfriend has got me hooked on A-list NY, and after two seasons i have to call it one of my guilty new pleasures.
But Riechen really needs to get over himself with his "ohh poor me i can't find love yadda,yadda,yadda."
Ohhh and Austen!! jezzus man get over it and just do Riechen already. i'm getting tired of his drunken tirades and his attack on the Rodiney/Reichen relationship. Mike is my fave so far, the others
Ryan, Derrick and TJ, kinda remind me of that female clique in HS that hung together gossiped about everything but kept smiling the whole time while talking much $#iT behind your back.
gotta love the cattiness huh?

Just finished Season 2 of Weeds, but Season 3 isn't on Netflix Canada yet. May be a renter, just to resolve the cliffhanger.

Definitely a better Season than the first. Although I found Peter's turn at the end a little abrupt and extreme, it certainly amped up the tension. Zooey Deshanel (Sp?) alternated between funny and annoying over the last few episodes, I hope she's used sparingly in the future, if at all.

Fans of golden age or just after Hollywood will appreciate this... I just spent the past hour watching home movies on YouTube. Home movies featuring Paul Newman, Natalie Wood, Rock Hudson, Lauren Bacall, Julie Andrews, Sal Mineo, Jane Fonda, Kirk Douglas... too many to remember.

Shot by Roddy McDowell at his beach house and just now released.

Can you imagine beach parties with these people? It's fun seeing them in this setting, with windblown hair, kids and dogs underfoot. There's no sound- so it's eye candy only.

Apparently a documentary is being assembled from the footage. Roddy McDowell is one celebrity whose 'tell-all' I would love to read- but the fact that he refused to write one makes me like him even more. He was friends with just about everybody back then, apparently... and knew and kept all his friends' secrets.

I decided to dig out my videoptape of BLACKSTAR for the first time since 1981 and watch it again. It's just as I remember-- every frame screams "Filmation!" (the same people who did JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH, STAR TREK, FLASH GORDON), but it's been terribly watered-down for "the kiddies". Oh well.

Here's what baffles me. Both the IMDB and Wikipedia have the episodes listed in a certain order, with air dates. Now, as far as I know, I taped the first 11 episodes off CBS during their initial run. And the order is COMPLETELY different! How is this possible???

Unless, of course, the information on both websites is INCORRECT and is being perpetuated because nobody knows any better...


1 - SEARCH FOR THE STARSWORD
2 - KINGDOM OF NEPTUL
3 - LIGHTNING CITY OF THE CLOUDS
4 - THE QUEST
5 - THE CROWN OF THE SORCERESS
6 - THE AIR WHALES OF ANCHOR
7 - THE LORD OF TIME
8 - THE MERMAID OF SERPENT SEA
9 - TREE OF EVIL
10 - CITY OF THE ANCIENT ONES
11 - THE OVERLORD'S BIG SPELL

I really like the History Channel's How the States Got Their Shapes. Brian Unger can redraw my borders any time!

I've been watching Known Universe a fair bit lately.
Just finished up Game of Thrones yesterday from the PVR.

Just watched Charlie Jade on Hulu recently. There's some gems buried among all the dross there.

Misfits is amusing, but appalling, at the same time. It's like a train wreck. I can't look away!

Currently watching the season premiere of Hawaii Five-0, now with added awesomeness from new cast member Terry O'Quinn!

THE PLAYBOY CLUB series premiere!

Okay, overall I thought the season premiere was a bit weak. The whole "getting the band back together" thing was a little too easy after last season's finale. But it sets up what looks to be a pretty groovy new status quo for the new season! And I'm pretty excited about getting to see Terry O'Quinn on tv regularly again!

I deplore office politics... except on Parks and recreation, where Leslie Knope could make a pile of dog turds seem appealing...

But this hatred of office atmospheres has kept me from watching THE OFFICE all this time. So I got over it, and watched the new season premiere.

I'm rather into it. The meanness and back-stabbing are all spot-on. Very humorous!

Dr. Gwen, THE OFFICE is great, and it seems so "you." I'm amazed you've been missing it!

HAve you guys ever seen Office Space? Hilarious movie, especially great if you've ever worked in that environment. I worked at a IT company, and with just about every character in that movie...even with how out there some of them were.

I def. plan to NETFLIX *all* seasons of THE OFFICE... starting today, Season 1 episode 1!

I'll squeeze in OFFICE SPACE when I need a break from the TV show!

I just discovered this movie but have now watched it three times over last night and this afternoon (It's only about an hour and a quarter).

In case anyone ever plans on catching this fantastic movie blind, I'll spoiler tag this comment... but Primer has to be the most engaging and "realistically" presented movie I've ever seen about


<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">Time Travel</span></span>


I highly, highly recommend this film to anyone who enjoys films about the above topic.

And my mind is blown to learn that the entire film was made for just $7000!

OMG... Steve Carrel's character on THE OFFICE is **so** ******BEYOND****** !!!!!annoying!!!!!!

Thankfully, these 2 guys are super-awesome:




**dreamy sighs**

Primer was great, and very smartly done. It is one of the few films that requires re-watching a few times to notice all of the subtleties.

Lash,

You really should check out the original UK Office. Its really great (and Ricky Gervais is brilliant in it).

I'll also second OFFICE SPACE.

Blockbuster Canada is going out of business, so I got a stack of films I probably never would have if they weren't virtually free.

Last night I watched "Snakes on a Plane".

The title of the movie is pretty much all the review you need. There are Snakes on a Plane. You're either down with that, or you're not.

Thing I've watched recently...

The entire Avengers cartoon. It's great! Best comic cartoon I've seen! And as a huge Avengers fan it really captures that Avengers spirit.

Still watching old Highlanders. I'm on season 2.

I watched the original season of Spartacus: Blood & Sand. Awesome! (sad about Andy Whitfield)

From Paris with Love, Centurion, Stone, Dial M for Muder, Last Night (good new film with Keira Knightly and Sam Worthington...young married couple in nyc), Persons Unknown the mini series (i hate it...still have 2 episodes to go), an old Antonio Banderas flick from spain...tie me up, time me down, Sucker Punch (kinda liked it, kinda hated it), Black Swan(great!), Tron and Tron Legacy. eh.

APOCALYPSE NOW. I haven't seen this in a few years. I didn't see the redux this time (i have before). Great movie! My wife has never seen it and she loved it. I recently read Heart of Darkness also so I wanted to rewatch it. Great book...better movie.

Just watched the premiere of Terra Nova. It was actually a bit better than I thought it would be (my expectations were pretty low), but I'm not completely convinced by it yet.

I caught it Monday and found it pretty decent as well. I can see some things possibly derailing the show (like if they get too teen-angsty and what-not), but if they can enhance the mystery and keep things kind of edgy, it has potential. I'd hate to see a terrific concept go south like "The Event" did very quickly last year.

Yeah, it's got the potential to improve or go massively downhill. I found the "writing on the rocks" the most interesting bit of the whole show, and though they actually revealed a little too much about it by the end.

The characters are a bit on the cliched side (notice how similar the family structure is to "No Ordinary Family"), but Jason O'Mara's shines through pretty much anything he's given.

I also found Terra Nova surprisingly exceeding me expectations. It didn't floor me, but it was still decent and has potential. Also, like you guys, I'm a big fan of Jason O'Mara.

What the series could use a little upping of the danger / suspense factor to kind of bring the series to the next level in terms of a sense of urgency and uneasiness. Otherwise it runs to risk of feeling a little 'lite' like so many other shows have done.

In other news I found Pan-Am to be boring beyond belief (though with a potential good spy plot that could save the series if it was an centerpiece) and the Playboy Club to be horrible and a compilation of cliches and half-developed stereotypes. Neither has any acting worth noting.
