Some weird movie with Richard Gere as a homeless guy . Not very good really . Time out of mind .
Do something Danke
Netflix is making a dedicated Punisher show, because Jon Bernthal played him so well in the last season of Daredevil.

ok.. caught up on this one. I watched 1 and 2 tonight.. about half way through 2, I started to wonder if it was going to get me to ep 3 - the last 2 minutes BAM! I'm in!

Finally finished Preacher. Love it. So glad it was renewed.
Started The Night Of . Very stressful, but very good! Bill Camp is excellent.
Based on the idea of natural rights, government secures those rights to the individual by strictly negative intervention, making justice costless and easy of access; and beyond that it does not go. The State, on the other hand, both in its genesis and by its primary intention, is purely anti-social. It is not based on the idea of natural rights, but on the idea that the individual has no rights except those that the State may provisionally grant him. It has always made justice costly and difficult of access, and has invariably held itself above justice and common morality whenever it could advantage itself by so doing.

The Night Of ending is good, but even for those who might not have liked it, the last 30 seconds are totally worth it.

Netflix just released a season 3 of this as a Netflix original.

Goliath is pretty good. It is another lawyer show by David E. Kelley, released on Amazon. This is important because it allows Billy Bob Thornton and his costars the full use of the language. Fairly well written and interesting characters who work well together. It is only 8 episodes, a lot of stuff crammed into the last episode that could have been better expanded to 10.

LOL, the first episode of the new season of black mirror does NOT disappoint.
I know it says it's an anthology, but is there any connection from one season to the next that would be missed by starting at season 3? I remember watching the first episode of season 1, it was definitely unforgettable.

Nope, every episode is unrelated. Feel free to start on season 3, episode 1 was great.
I like this show. For every good use of technology, it demonstrates an equally bad use. A couple of the new episodes are Americanized, and I think all of the new ones feature a known actor. I watched some more of the older ones, so far I like "Fifteen Million Merits" the best (he even uses the glass shard from the title), it's a lot like "Nosedive". "San Junipero", also very good.

I watched South Park tonight but dozed off about halfway through. I can't wait to find out if Gerald got exposed as Skankhunt42.
Rectify is back, but I think it is only 4 final episodes. The first one is with Daniel in the halfway house. He finally breaks down, not like people thought he did in previous seasons, but for real.
Also there's this, very similar to The Borgias:

I saw Dr Strange tonight. I liked it. I thought Sherlock was a great Dr Strange. And I tried a new theater and it's almost perfect - they have recliners (!!!!), reserved seats (my son made the reservation and we were front row, center - I don't know what it is about that kid and the front row.), and a BAR!!! If they rented snuggies and pillows, it would be perfect. Why are movie theaters so frickin' cold?
Just finished the last season of The Fall. Creepy psychological thriller series.
I've been watching Black Mirror. It reminds me of The Twilight Zone. I love it because I'm not good at keeping up with shows and since it's different every week, I don't miss anything. The only show I've been able to stick with is Vikings. Probably because they're hawt but I even thought it was getting a little dumb last season.
Black Mirror is on Netflix, btw.
People of Earth
I came across it by accident and I just love it.
You can watch episodes here.

That tongue-in-cheek adage is practically the guiding principle of People of Earth, the new TBS series executive produced by Conan O’Brien and Greg Daniels of The Office, starring Wyatt Cenac as a journalist who becomes entangled with the members of a support group for alien abductees. Actually, you’re not supposed to call them abductees. You should refer to them as “experiencers.” “Calling someone an abductee is a lot like slut shaming,” one of the members of StarCrossed, that support group, tells Cenac’s character Ozzie. Duly noted.
What’s also notable about this comedy, which is more clever and thought-provoking than it is gut-busting, is its focus on the notion that there’s something not quite right about our world and it’s making some folks unstable. Although, to be fair, some of them only needed the gentlest poke of a finger to be flung off the proverbial ledge. Like certain episodes of Black Mirror and, to an even greater extent, the recently canceled Braindead, which also dabbled in the extraterrestrial, People of Earth simultaneously speaks to how mental or emotional struggles can lead to institutional mistrust, while confirming that such mistrust may be completely founded.
There are indeed aliens among us and some aliens really do kidnap humans and those weird, occasionally bulbous-headed beings may not have the truest of aims. People of Earth confirms all of this in the first episode, which debuted, along with episode two, on Halloween night and can now be streamed on the TBS website. But the pilot and subsequent installments also reveal that the individuals who regularly gather in a Beacon, New York, church to discuss their alien encounters are dealing with plenty of non-E.T.-related problems, including aborted career paths and failed marriages that may or may not have gone sour because of all that little green man talk.

I have no idea what's going on but it's a fun ride.
A few movies over the past couple months:
Battle for Sevastopol
Land of Mine
ARQ
Hunt for the Wilderpeople
The Siege of Jadotville
The Man from Nowhere
All of them were decent.
Still watching Black Mirror. I've been watching an episode or two a week but I think I'm getting hooked. I watched season 2 episode 3 - The Waldo Moment and it was very thought provoking. I'm not sure I get the ending, though. If anyone else has seen it, fill me in.
Here's a teaser. If you want to see the whole thing, it's on Netflix.

Finished "The Crown".
Westworld. It is great.
They say S2 might not start until 2018, which is ridiculous. On the bright side, I was afraid that HBO wouldn't do the Deadwood movie because Westworld is so popular, but since it won't be back for over a year, I still have hope.
