Last thing watched on netflix / Amazon..................

[Road Guy]

Watched the first 30 min of bird box while on the treadmill - it’s like they totally copied the Stephen king book cellular but just added the blindfold part?

You need to spend more time on the treadmill!

 

[Road Guy]

Did 4x8 sets of squats @ 225 lbs before getting on the treadmill...

Plus there was an annoying lady on the bike behind me yapping on the phone the entire time, in another language, loudly...

I finally finished Bird Box while on a plane. Supe was right.

Has anyone watched Silicon Valley? Wondering how it is..

 

[jeb6294]

Anyone else watch "The Passage" last night?  Looks like it could be promising...almost like a "Resident Evil" prequel kind of vibe...although it does star Zack Morris.

 

[csb]

The only reason I was going to watch was because of Zack Morris. 

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

Finally saw Justice League last night.  Not bad, not awesome.  Mrs Dex insisted on watching a Marvel movie afterwards (Dr Strange) so we could go to bed after a good movie.

 

[Supe]

Binge watching Schitts Creek. Pretty funny.

update: Silicon valley, definitely recommend

We've watched two decent series on netflix recently:

Mystery Science Theater 3000: this latest season (produced by Netflix) is pretty fun. My son especially appreciated the first bad movie, Mac & Me, which I agree was so terrible as to be actually very entertaining.  Some of the other flicks are less enjoyably bad.

Ken Burn's The Civil War:  remastered for HD.  This is a really great documentary, which I don't think I had seen since it first came out in 1990 and I was still in college.  It's truly shocking to contemplate the scale of the carnage that was acceptable at that time.  Thousands dead and wounded at any given battle. That politics could lead to such waste of American lives and resources is a sobering thought these days, with people becoming more and more entrenched in their personal convictions of what America should be. This should be required viewing for everyone this year.

I loved the book trilogy.  The show, "not so much".  I am already disappointed.

I've fallen back down into the Korean/Chinese drama hole.  Where the storylines are fleshed out and realistic compared to American television.  But there is def culture stuff that I have no idea what it means/why they do it, which leads to me being baffled sometimes.

We watched BOTH documentaries on the Fyre Festival.  What a bunch of assholes.  I feel like both documentaries compliment each other, because each delves into something the other doesn't.

Heard about that on the radio this morning. What a $hit show! hmy:

When it first happened, I was really amused by it...but the Netflix documentary really delved into Bahamians who were assisting with the festival were screwed over and weren't paid...and one lost her life savings.  Awful.  Six years in jail isn't enough for that asshole.

WAIT.  There are two documentaries?  I only watched the one where it had all the fyre company people saying like, "We weren't involved in the festival, so we had no idea what was going on, and then all of a sudden we weren't being paid by work, but we weren't fired, so we couldn't get workers comp." and the guy who learned to fly with the simulator?

 

[Audi Driver P.E.]

I watched Se7en last night. It's kinda hard knowing the end of that movie going in. The car ride leading up to that final scene makes me wonder, especially in today's world, how the reveal of what's in the box is going to make any wave whatsoever, as the nut job thinks. It still only really affects just the one (at most a few) individual(s). I guess that's why he was a nut job.

Edited for spoilerzzzz

Spoiler alert! pppp

I started saying "WHAT'S IN THE BOXXXXXXXXXXX" when I want to be dramatic, and I've got my husband saying it, though he's never seen it. I'm like, you probably will find this way less cute once you realize what the actual reference is.

Yes! The one on Hulu focuses more on how it was a unrealistic disaster from the get-go, and the social media culture that led to it even happening in the first place.  They interview Billy McFarland too.  His pupils are dilated af and he comes across as a complete douchebag, surprise surprise.

I liked that pilot, just how practical he was - so of course they forced him out.
