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

[Dleg]

Thanks for the tip. We'll have to check out the He Man episode!

I'm looking forward to Hanna coming out on Prime in a week or so.  It's supposed to more or less be a prequel to the movie Hanna, and features the duo of detectives from The Killing.  Really hope they do the movie justice.

Finished the first two seasons of Santa Clarita Diet yesterday. Kid and I watched it together and found it pretty entertaining. 

 

[Ramnares P.E.]

Stumbled into Born Strong which briefly follows the life and prep of four strongmen competitors - Eddie Hall, Shaw, Thor, and Z.  Awesome look into some of the training and interesting to get a view into their personal life.

@Supe if you haven't seen it, I'm sure you'd appreciate this.

Yep, great show!  They also did a great job of editing it into that year's Arnold competition.

I just finished The OA Part II.   The show should stop after this season because I cannot see how that ending can be topped.

Is it safe to start “The Pacific” at 10:30 pm on a Sunday day night or am I gonna be up all night binge watching?

It didn’t seem to have the following that band of brothers did?

 

[RBHeadge PE]

"The Pacific" isn't in the same tier as "Band of Brothers", not even close. There's maybe two episodes that would draw you into watching another quickly.

 

[Road Guy]

Yeah I watched the first one and it looks intriguing but doesn't seem to have that same story line feel as Band of Brothers....

Maybe its been done but I was hoping it would be more a "Midway" feel to it - the strategy and guts of the pacific theatre has always intrigued me

Watched The Butterfly Effect for not the first time.

Lots of people don't like this movie (including the woman I married), but it's simple enough to follow and has a decent plot.  The acting itself could be better and lots of f-bombs are dropped by a 7 (?) year old kid.  Not exactly my liking, but that's what they chose to include. On the positive, there's a scene with a completely naked chick.  That was cool.  Kutcher played his part well and Smart wasn't bad.  I'll watch it again at some point again.  I'll give it 3.5

We watched "The Dirt" the other night...holy $hitballs.  Not going to lie, there were parts of it that I'm surprised were even able to make it on to TV...Netflix or not.  Definitely not one to watch with the kids.  If you're of the age that they were big when you were growing up, like my wife and I, then there weren't any big revelations.  You've probably heard all the stories by now.

 

[leggo PE]

I tried to watch "The Pacific" after watching "Band of Brothers" a few years ago, but just didn't get into it nearly as much. I remember giving it a solid effort, too... At least three episodes.

"I'm Sorry" on Netflix is one of the funniest shows I've seen in a long time.

It didn't have the same following as band of brothers, but i totally got sucked into binge watching the Pacific.  I had read a couple books on John Basilone and i had read E.B Sledge's and Robert Leckie's books before so i was really into this series.

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

@akwooly are you talking about Sledge's "With the Old Breed"?  I read that as part of a WW2 history class I took in college. There were a couple other books we read for tha class and I still have them at home.  If I remember, I'll post a list tonight.

Yes that is the one!

 

[Road Guy]

I'm on episode 5 of Pacific, its definitely got my attention- Its weird the character development is so non existent I don't really even know anyone's name at this point.

I think part of what I liked about Band of Brothers is they showed the relationships between all the various ranks, officers, NCO's, enlisted fairly well - not seeing that so much in the Pacific at this point.

 

[Road Guy]

This Chernobyl coming up on HBO looks pretty good - anyone catch the previews yet?

 

[Supe]

I did, but working in the nuclear industry, am not looking forward to the fear mongering.  Casual viewers always have a hard time differentiating fact from fiction.

 

[Road Guy]

yeah but you work in capitalistic nuclear not socialist nuclear   probably different QA/QC process..
