Topic: What are you watching?

The last movie I saw was Moana 2, and I loved it! I think this sequel is even better than the first one. I love movies and video games, and I also enjoy watching Twitch especially DiceGirl Egle expert slot streamer. But definitely, Moana 2 was the best. The movie exceeded all my expectations; it is visually stunning, and the message it conveys truly touches the heart. I dare say it’s even better than the centennial movie Wish. I hope we continue to see this level of quality in upcoming films.

I'm watching the Indiana Jones films for the first time, on Sky Showtime. The first is awesome, but I liked the second one even more.

I didn't know that Steven Spielberg created the Donkey Kong Country minecart races! 😂

I just started Black Doves on Netflix. It’s a dark humor crime thriller and it’s really good. I am also watching my daily NBA games.

@Banjo- Temple of Doom is regarded as one of the worst Indy films, well that and Crystal Skull, but glad you liked it. It definitely did somethings different then the previous film and you can tell that both Lucas and Spielberg were in bad places when they did that movie, and hey it gave use the PG-13 rating lol. The mine cart scene is probably the best part IMO of the movie and most iconic. The first thing that comes to my mind when someone mentions Indy is the boulder scene from Raiders and the minecart scene from Temple.

I too now want to rewatch the movies since playing that game, So I started with Raiders last night. I will probably skip Temple as 1) its a prequel and 2) as I stated before I am not a big fan of it but we will see. I might just watch Raiders, Last Crusade and Dial of Destiney.

@Tasuki my fav is the last crusade followed by raiders closely 1a 1b maybe I haven't seen the dial of destiny yet. I think the game feels so much like an Indy adventure I'm having a ball with it.

@VisitingComet1 Last Crusade will always be my favorite but that's due to the chemistry between Ford and Connery it worked so well. I need to give Dial of Destiny a watch again as I only saw that one once last year and I was sick at the time so it was hard to pay attention.

@Tasuki @VisitingComet1 I watched The Last Crusade last night and it's one of the best films I've ever watched. From beginning to end it's great! I read a bit about The Temple of Doom and it seems that it wasn't as well received because of the dark tone, but recent reviews have been more positive and that's interesting. I will watch the more recent Indiana Jones films. I also read why they took so long to make, basically, too many projects and too many people involved. I love how Harrison Ford loves Indiana Jones. Watching the films, I was impressed by how serious and funny he can be without overacting a single bit. He nailed it.

@Banjo- Yeah as I said before Harrison and Connery had great chemistry and it was nice to see familiar faces turn up.

Yeah it took awhile for the stars to aline for the 4th movie, mainly because after the third movie I believe that when Lucas started working on the Star Wars Pre-quels. Also I read that Harrison Ford wasn't just going to come back unless he really liked the script. Then between the fourth and fifth movie I think it was just of a matter that the fourth one didn't do as well as they hoped plus the thing with Harrison Ford's age and that Shia LaBouf fell out of favor with Hollywood. No one wanted to deal with it until Disney got the rights.

just watched the 3 rd season of the Lincoln lawyer it was as good as the first two. you can watch it on Netflix.
going to start ash and the evil dead today.

I'm watching Halo after the Indiana Jones films on Sky Showtime. Despite the controversy, I'm loving it so far, especially the actors that play John and Halsey, and the plot.

@Banjo- I thought halo was great and was a little sad when they cancelled it right after is really started to get good

@VisitingComet1 I read that 343 Industries and Amblin Television are seeking a new home for a third season. The TV series was commercially successful, so they should find one. 😊

@Banjo- oh that's great news!!! I thought season 1 was decent but season 2 for me anyway took off. The story building in season 2 was great and the ending was well i liked it.

@VisitingComet1 I finished watching season 1. I loved it. I just wished that Bokeem Woodbine (Soren-066) used his tongue and lips when talking. I didn't care much about Kwan, though. Episode 7 was all about her story. I don't know if I did something wrong, but I didn't get subtitles for the long conversation in Korean with her father (watching on Sky Showtime), although I can guess what they were talking about. I loved John... and Halsey, because it's a fascinating character and the actress (Natascha McElhone) is absolutely amazing. I like how the overarching context is humanity's inopportuneness and stupidity, especially noticeable in episode 8. Now, season 2!

Have you watched it, @Utena-mobile? I like John, Cortana is all right and Kai-125 might be the greatest female badass since Chun-Li and Lara Croft. 😁

I decided to watch the wheel of time with no book expectations. it was really hard if the books didn't exists it would be a fine show but just to many liberties for me.

@Utena-mobile I liked reading your comment a lot. At the end of season 1, it's not clear what happens to Cortana. She obviously takes control of John but, although she had previously said that he would cease to exist, at the last minute she says that she may not be able to bring him back. In the beginning of season 2, John is not connected to Cortana and there is a different Cortana, so I need to watch more to see what's going on. The Covenant make clear at the end of season 1 that they were just using Makee, who seems evil at first but isn't; when she is about to... yet she eventually removes her... Episode 8 is amazing because it has many believable crucial changes reflecting how humans react, like when Makee meets the ONI members. The writers are probably the best of the show, but I enjoy the image that looks incredible on OLED and, well, like I said, I'm fascinated by Halsey, not just the character, but how McElhone portrays every millimetre of the character, making it credible, not overacting a single bit and making sense while being so complex. You're right, the Spartan suits are amazing. I had my doubts about that part before watching the episodes, but they look great and seem real in action while making possible the most impressive stunts. They want to make a season 3 without Paramount that ended it and I hope it's as good. Halo's universe has more possibilities than I ever thought.

@VisitingComet1 I watched seasons 1 and 2. I have not read the books, but I didn't like the shoehorned variety and I think the writing wasn't very good. It has some very cool things, mostly the battles. I think season 2 was better, but it isn't one of my favourite TV shows.

@Banjo- ya the books are so good the first is probably the roughest to read, but after that they really take off and get super interesting. I like history though and the world building stuff that includes history.

@VisitingComet1 Well, if you enjoyed the books then great. Sometimes they're better than the films/TV shows, for sure.

@Banjo- I think that its probably pretty hard to make everyone happy with shows from famous ip's the one thing that I dont get about them though is your making whatever place name here thats pretty famous. If your not going to stay in the realm of created lore why even do it? Make your own thing and let your vision sink or swim but don't coopt some one else's world and try to force your ideas down the loyal fans of the ip's throat.

For some reason I have been in a Tim Allen mood so I have been watching Last Man Standing on Hulu. I missed it when it originally aired, due to watching other shows and just other things going on in my life, but I am enjoying it thus far. It has classic Tim Allen comedy bits and I do like his chemistry with the rest of the cast. The only gripe I have and this goes for all shows that do this is the change of actress for his older daughter. But if you like Tim Allen, it's definitely worth a watch.
