What's everyone watching?

[Weedygarden]

Indianapolis 500 race.

Add that to the list of things that my A.D.D. brain cannot watch.

 

[Magus]

Blazing Saddles.

Watched the original 'KON-TIKI' documentary on the curved screen... looked like a friggin' vacation to me, lol. Might be a good way to bug out, just bring plenty o' likker, lime juice, dry/canned goods & fishing gear, along with a solar cooker. Maybe some sunscreen, baggy clothing, a Henschel hat, some decent shades, sailing gloves & nautical footgear, lol. Those pesky Norwegians were living high on the hog, grilling Mahi-Mahi every day along with other fish species... I've seen this classic documentary before and I liked it in years past, but I liked it even more today, and I'm ready for this kind of simple "working vacation." I wouldn't waste time on stupid experiments either, I'd be too busy hoisting shots and angling for my latest meal, lol. With my nautical experience (not only heller small craft sailing, but experience as a deckhand aboard a 100-ton steel sportfishing boat), I'd literally eat that $h!t up, lol.

"YO, PASS THE TARTAR SAUCE!"

Make 'redneck ceviche' with fresh fish and cans of Ro-Tel, lol. Pull my Captain Bligh impersonation after rescuing some good-looking gal from the ocean:

"YOU WANT SALAD?!? GRAB THAT SEAWEED, DAMN YOU!"

Holy Mackerel! I just poured some fermented juice into a glass and took a few swigs, and this stuff is gonna make me feel like a million bucks, lol... something about the yeast and home fermentation just makes my brain happy, 10-4? It's definitely a better buzz than that corporate p!$$water I was drinking earlier, lol. It's also an acquired taste, but I'll drink anything that gives me a happy buzz like this... let me just hide my keys first, lol. JK, I'm not going anywhere today, but I might run into town tomorrow, I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. I enjoyed the 'KON-TIKI' documentary, those pesky Norwegians know how to live, lol... courtesy of their Viking ancestors, no doubt. Those Vikings made good sailors too, they were inured to hardship at sea, lol... in reality, they swilled umbrella drinks while fishing with bows, swords, spears & axes, lol. "No need to bait a hook, but ya might wanna tie a dummy cord on that battle ax, Olaf!"

Finished season 4 of Yellowstone, have to wait until the library gets season 5. Started watching "Walker" a recent remake of Walker Texas Ranger. It's alright. Obviously the original with Chuck Norris can't be beat but this isn't awful. They're not trying to replicate it exactly but of course they have to have some "woke" stuff I also picked up the first couple of seasons of "Hell on Wheels" to try.

Braves baseball tonight. Got a 20 yo rookie pitcher starting his first game tonight.

We are re-watching "The Rig" series on Amazon Prime Video. One season, six shows. Renewed for season two, but that is not out yet. We ended up binge watching the first season back in January when we were in Hawaii (late at night, after our day was over). We're watching it again now. It takes place on an oil rig off of Scotland, and I think most of the actors must be from there as well - it's difficult to understand them sometimes (OK, most of the time). I may have to see if I can figure out how to turn on closed captions for Roku/PrimeVideo. I have not seen Game of Thrones yet, but my son was watching with us and said there are a bunch of actors from that show in this one. I gotta admit, the show does suck you in. Quite tense at times. The camera work really adds to the atmosphere, and the 4K HDR video is super crisp and mesmerizing on a big screen.

 

[FarmOR]

NBA finals? You'd expect a number one seed to dominate number eight, but Miami has kept it interesting?

 

[Bacpacker]

The Great Outdoors with John Candy. FUNNY movie

 

[Wingnut]

Watched 'RIDING GIANTS' yesterday afternoon, the surf flick made by ex-skater Stacy Peralta... saw it before when it first came out in theaters (2004?), but it was cool to see it again. Surprisingly, I found it on my Roku Streaming Stick, but maybe that's because I've also watched other surf & skate videos. Meh, makes no difference, as long as I got to see it again. Not a bad film if you're into that genre, some of the historical footage is crazy! Greg Noll and his friends were real pioneers of big wave surfing... it was interesting to trace how big wave surfing evolved into what it is today, tow-in surfing with smaller more responsive boards. If you happen to see this video on your Roku TV or Roku Streaming Stick, it's definitely worth watching, and there are some classic American & German vehicles in the film as well.

 

[Magus]

I'm overly blessed with movies this week.
Game of thrones.
Lost in space.
the day the earth stood still+the remake.
Farscape. some of the best sci-fi TV ever made!

Watching Das Boot w/subttl. It makes it onto my memorial day stack but I never watch it. Been years since I saw it last.

long ago I took a test at the navy recuiters office. They wanted to train me on nuclear propulsion systems. It was almost guaranteed I'd end up on a submarine. Not my cup of tea!!! I've been down in a coal mine, couldn't wait to get back out! The thought of going down in a tube for months, not feeling the sun or wind on my face? Nope, a job for someone else. I chose missile systems. Sort of ironic I ended up on a ship designed to hunt russian subs.

The guys in ww2 spent time on the surface. But still, didn't matter if you personally survived a torpedo or depth charge. 300ft down you only had seconds to live anyway.

A stat at the start of the movie... 40,000 men served on german u-boats, only 10,000 came home. They were kids, 17/18yr old. what a waste of life...

Every morning while having our cuppa husband and I watch an episode of Cheers, which is on early here. Starts the day off with a laugh. Once when I was ill I stayed watching; 3 episodes of cheers, one of King of Queens and two Frasiers. Felt better afterwards, if slightly guilty!

 

[Magus]

I just found: Space, above and beyond!
great vintage TV

 

[Haertig]

I watch an episode of Cheers

Cheers is always a winner! They did a great job with that show. And the cast just bounced off of each other so well.

 

[Peanut]

Been years since I saw cheers, liked the show way back when...

Tonight I watched a dvd I haven't seen in ages, Black Hawk Down. It always makes me angry so I rarely watch it. Remember those event well, couldn't believe what I was seeing back then. Just 4yrs earlier I'd been in the military and in africa. It was slick willie's first $#$ show...

Knowing what I know now about the C's made the movie harder to watch tonight . They are pure evil, probably enjoyed what they did to those young soldiers.

I have to see Sisu!

Anyway, Jhon Wick marathon.+ Farscape.

 

[Tacitus]

Just realized my youngest has never seen Terminator or Terminator 2. I have to fix that.

 

[Tacitus]

Just watched Sicario with the wife. I wasn't sure she would make it through the movie with me, but she did. A "taught thriller" to be sure. I liked it; she thought it was ok.

I won't post a trailer, but here is one of the best scenes. I don't think watching this scene will ruin anything. Great scene, though. Watch it full screen with headphones on...just makes it more immediate. I noticed watching it in the movie, with normal TV sound was less effective.

Note: the movie begins and ends with rough scenes, but still a pretty good movie.



Me, after the events in this video, imagining myself in that line of cars: Aw crap. I guess I have to get in a different lane now.

 

[Magus]

The Joker.

 

[montanabill]

It's pretty new age and all but it does talk about bio char. I had to give my email to watch so if anyone want to try it during the nest 30 hours it should play.

I discovered that a friend of mine from Singapore now works in Australia with something to do with risk assessment for financial crimes. He'd always been told he was "slow" or dumb but he had a learning disability. Really sweet guy. I found a link to a site he runs and he did some tutorials on how to report things. It's really good to see his face and hear his voice after 20+ years.

A person I know could not pass the entrance exam for a small town sherrifs deputy. He hired a tutor and finally passed the test. As he advanced and took more tests the higher ups recognized his pattern recognition and other skills. His last job was briefing a president. He too was finally diagnosed with a "learning dissability" His skills and gifts just worked differently than the norm the tests were designed for.
