I tend to treat movies and television like some people treat music, which is to say I keep it on much of the time without sitting still in front of it for long periods. In addition to the movies I watch, I watch a lot of series shows. Lately I'm watching the new seasons of What We Do in the Shadows, Futurama, and Strange New Worlds. We just finished a re-watch of Good Omens season one in preparation for the release of the second season.

I was not as much of a fan of this movie as the majority of others, I guess. Was unique, I'll give it that. I don't care much for that slapstick-type, juvenile, trying-to-shock you humor. (Like Bridesmaids, too--totally baffles me.) But some of it made me chuckle, I'll admit. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. Got Oscars and everything, so obviously a lot of people really thought highly of it.
ReplyDeleteMy husband wasn't a fan, either. He said he just didn't get the point, and I see that.
DeleteMuch action but... kinda (too) weird for me.
ReplyDeleteI restarted Qantum Leap again :-)
I've never seen Quantum Leap.
DeleteThis looks really good and something Himself might even like
ReplyDeleteI hope y'all enjoy it.
DeleteThis one is on my watch list. Looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteYes, I thought so. Fun. And different.
DeleteI'm watching Strange New Worlds too. Not sure I like it quite as much as last season, but there are some good episodes.
ReplyDeleteWe think some of the episodes are just a bit too much like plots from the original series, but I see what they're trying to do.
DeleteI've heard good things about this movie & saw it on the "Movie or Book?" table at the library & put my name on the list for book. I wonder which will be my turn first; book or movie? (col).
ReplyDeleteI hadn't realized it was from a book!
Delete...often I don't get the point either. Slow on the uptake?
ReplyDeleteNot at all. I know sometimes my husband doesn't get the point because it's just not something he's looking for in a movie.
DeleteThat's how I do TV too. Unless it's really engaging or something I like -- I just keep it for the noise. Helps my tinnitis. (I know NO ONE who saw this movie who liked it!)
ReplyDeleteI did, and a few of my FB friends did, but my husband? No. Mixed reviews at our house.
