Just finished first episode, not a lot of folks to root for,,Finished s1 of Warrior. It’s decent. A lot of SJW themes, but enough sex and hard core violence make it entertaining enough to endure.
Anyone still watching WandaVision? This weeks episode was a big one as far as the mystery unraveling.
^ I remember hearing this about the film. We saw it recently and thought it very good. Oh, what a difference sixty years make! No biggie today.Not actually watching...
Today is Lana Turner's birthday and TCM is showing a lot of here films today.
It's on the TV in my den & I am more like listening to them in the background.
She was hottie in the 50's & 60's
She used up 8 husbands!
died in 1995 @ age 74
Turner (light blue outfit) - film 'Payton Place'
Diane Varsi (dark blue outfit)
Russ Tamblyn as the Sgt.
Lee Phillips as the gentleman
This was a scandalous film in 1957
Turner (1969)

The Lana Turner staple in my neighborhood is Imitation of Life. Some say it should be required watching for all children in my neighborhood,,, now that I think about should make a good viewing for all during this month in particular.Not actually watching...

It looks like the Marvel folks took some good Disney made Kool Aid and have decided to try a little cross breeding and maybe start a new direction in the Universe? I am not that familiar with the history these characters have together but since Fox is now under the Disney banner will there be more Marvel franchise co-mingling? I guess this is a good way to get folks to sign up for subscriptions so they can keep up on all the latest news.
Up to about Ep 17 Season 1 Person of Interest.
Showing more humor in the interactions, I imagine the actors working well enough that they're being allowed to riff and jab at each other as respected friends would do. Particularly a baby scene where I can imagine it can't be tightly scripted and everything has to wrap around what the baby might or might not do and the actors can only stay in character as best they can and say what they think that character might say. It's been hilarious.
Looking up the IMDB for a guest actor I came across another show I've never seen, looks like it might be interesting. Oz? Anyone recommending?
If you want to scare troubled kids into going straight, make them watch the first season of OZ. Brutal.The sketch of the kidnapping suspect in episode 17, priceless!
Oz had a lot of great actors but was too violent for me, didn't need that kind of mental trauma from watching tv.
That's tantamount to child abuse ?, but would probably achieve said objective.If you want to scare troubled kids into going straight, make them watch the first season of OZ. Brutal.
It’s made me reconsider my stance on the death penalty. I know it’s exaggerated, but if life in prison is even close to that, it’s worse than death.That's tantamount to child abuse ?, but would probably achieve said objective.
The Farmers Insurance guy, who knew he could be so cruel and sadistic, Oz not a pretty place.Oz is OK one time through but it is not a must see and it's not like you want to go back and revisit scenes. There are some really good actors/actresses in the series and it especially shows the versatility of JK Simmons. Dude can play everything, check out how many performances he is credited with: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_J._K._Simmons_performances
Just eyeballing, I imagine he has to have the most credits of any Oscar winner in modern history.Oz is OK one time through but it is not a must see and it's not like you want to go back and revisit scenes.

Ironically, Mayhem (All State) is also in OZ.The Farmers Insurance guy, who knew he could be so cruel and sadistic, Oz not a pretty place.

Indeed it does. Really looks like things are going to blow up over the last 3 episodes. I'm really intrigued and excited for how it'll affect the larger Marvel universeWandaVision keeps delivering week after week.
He also won an Oscar being a cruel & sadistic band leaderHe actually has a couple of good understanding father roles. He is great in Juno and and an underrated film called The Music Never Stopped.
