film at eleven
Spoiler Alert: I watched the ending of The Man In The High Castle last week, and it’s time to unload the various and sundry brain vomit that’s been building up inside me. And grump alert: I thought it could’ve been better. In the last half-hour of the last episode, Frank wants to know what’s so Read.

atmosphere
Our latest guilty pleasure has been watching The Man In The High Castle, a television series streaming on Amazon video that was released just two or three weeks ago, so we’re almost keeping up with what other people are watching. The premise of the story is a pretty straightforward what-if that has made lots of Read.

boob tube
We binge-watched all thirteen episodes of Jessica Jones last week, if you consider it binge-watching when we only watched two shows on most nights. We started with three episodes on the Friday before last when the whole season was up for grabs on Netflix; I think that’s as many episodes of any series as we’ve Read.

sprained
There’s a certain kind of funny that doesn’t seem to register on my funnybone. Maybe I sprained it? The other night I was listening to a podcast called Pop Culture Happy Hour. Three people were talking about how much they loved the television show Brooklyn 99. They thought it was one of the funniest shows Read.

This was not the Read.

looks great but
It’s been ten years since Battlestar Galactica was rebooted by the SyFy Network. Everybody else’s take: Greatest Television Show Ever Broadcast. My take, staying in the five-word format: Looks great, stupid as hell. Looks great: Really great, if you get off on space ships, and who doesn’t? Stupid people, that’s who. And also, killer robots!

Under The Dome
We watched four episodes of Under The Dome before we lost interest. It’s not a terrible show, but it’s not a good one. I admit I was predisposed to hate it. I thought the idea was dumb when I read the review of the Stephen King book it’s based on: A dome appears over a Read.

The Alamo
Orange Is The New Black has a rockin’ theme song by Regina Spektor with lyrics that start, “The animals, the animals, trapped, trapped, trapped til the cage is full …” But I wasn’t listening at all to the words the first two or three times I heard it, so it only half-registered on my consciousness as Read.

Generation Kill
Stuck in traffic on the way home yesterday evening, my iBrainPod had the Minnie Riperton bubblegum-pop tune Lovin’ You looping incessantly, not because I ever liked that song (who did, amiright?) but because I just recently saw this: I started watching Generation Kill last weekend – picked the first episode totally at random from the free Read.

mascara
Bill Murray. Just because. I could be wrong, but I think that’s a mascara brush he’s got clamped in his teeth like a cigarette holder. Read.
