He sounds intelligent, but that doesn't mean he isn't bat-shit crazy. |

Also watched the kanadian gold maniacs. Always entertaining. _________________ Why does the Penguin in Batman sound like a duck? Because the eagle sounds like a hawk. |

So you prefer full frontal male nudity over clever dialogue and intricate twists of narrative? Got it!

It wasn't on netflix but they had a free watchathon on xfinity this weekend and I caught "Land of Mine". It was a part of history I hadn't heard about. It takes beach combing to a whole new level.

Solid 3rd season for "Better Call Saul." It's a great story. I can see how some might find it dry, but it is exceptionally well done IMO at explaining the backstory of Saul and the detective guy and both of their slips into the dark side, along with other characters. It's become among my favorites.
As for movies, if you like horror there's a terrifying movie called "The Ritual." It was legitimately scary. I'm a very harsh critic of films and TV and find most stuff unwatchable. "The Ritual" was absolutely fantastic. 4.5 out of 5 stars. "922" is a Stephen King based horror film about a man who murders his wife. It's pretty good, 3.5 out of 5 stars. More depressing/upsetting/disgusting than horror. Ricky Gervias stand up comedy is really funny, or brilliant as the Brits might say. 5/5 stars. "The Ranch" is fantastic. 5/5 "The Void" had a LOT of potential and initially was fantastic, but the last 1/3rd fell off the rails. Worth a watch though. 3/5 "Creep" was decent. Worth a watch. 3/5. Below is a list of some really stupid stuff I watched a few minutes of or even the whole thing and did not like it. Avoid: "Flash" (superhero) - watched a bit skipping thru, and found it unwatchably stupid. "Ravenous" (subtitled zombie film in Canada) - watched the whole thing hoping it would redeem itself, found it just bad but it had potential "The Following" (Crime drama with Kevin Bacon) - watched 10 minutes and found it unwatchably dumb. "Don Verdean" was stupid, 15 minutes in turned it off. "Day of the Dead" was awful, 5 minutes in and turned it off. "The Rift" was atrocious, 10 minutes and turned it off. _________________ I defend the 2A. US Army Combat Veteran and Paratrooper: OIF Veteran. BSM and MSM recipient. NRA Lifetime.

Just watched the 1st season (4 episodes) of a Netflix show called "Evil Genius".
All 4 are about the bank robber in 2003, who had a bomb attached around his neck with a locking collar. It dragged a little bit, and could probably have been shorter overall, but worth a watch IMO.

Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk I remember the collar/pizza bomber thing on the news in 2003 - I thought is was scary, brutal and someone was doing some thinking. But I didn't hear jackshit more about it, I completely forgot about it to be frank.......so I am three shows into this mess and HOLY FUQ wow.

"The Case for Christ."
Watch it. Very very powerful. Based on the Bible of course, and a best selling book from the 1980s or so.

The Vietnam war story........I think called We were Brothers (close to that) - anyway finally a show that showed positions of the enemy and such, that part always drives me nuts......I know details were sketchy, but this is a decent retelling.
