Futurama. Since the revival the episodes have been pretty hit and miss, but I really enjoyed the latest episode!

Last night we watched Hayride to Hell and the new Salem's Lot movie. The rest of the week was spent still trying to get thru Grimm.

I liked it! We listened to the book recently on a couple of road trips. The book is long and they couldn't fit everything in, but the movie otherwise stuck pretty closely to it.

Yeah the book is one of his best

About half way through the first season of Star Trek Discovery.

Earlier this week I did 3 nights in a row where I watched a psychological horror film. I watched:

  • Longlegs - Creepiest role I’ve seen Nicolas Cage play
  • Midsommar - Absolute mindfuck that stuck with me
  • Us - Love Jordan Peele, so I found this one to be a lot of fun, even if the plot was a bit weird and not fully fleshed out (which might’ve been the point; Jordan Peele likes to leave some things vague)

Longlegs was probably my favorite among the 3. I love dark pagan thrillers and stuff in the realm of Se7en.

Just finished the latest season of Rings of Power, honestly can't fault this season really, it's been to a pretty high standard all through

I can't sleep, which is normal, so I'm binge watching Bob Ross.

Which version?

My only gripe with those shows is they are hard to look away from which is counterproductive to sleep usually.

[–] NineMileTower@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

I'm not trying to sleep though.

My wife and I have been watching Columbo all week. It might be my wife's favorite show. They have watched all of it multiple times.

I've watched the first two episodes of Giri/Haji. While the story and most characters haven't really click with me yet, it was a very pleasant surprise to see Kelly Macdonald in the second lead role. I loved her acting in Choke and Boardwalk Empire.

been watching the updated Little drummer girl from 2018. It's beautiful, and I will watch anything with Michael. Shannon, but for the first time I'm not finding florence pugh as compelling as usual. she's still very good, and maybe it's because there are so many types of acting portrayed in the show, but this feels like she's playing characters rather than embodying them, which I usually think she's perfect at.

or maybe this was before she clinched her acting technique in midsommar a year later.

or maybe it's deliberate.
