Lots of thinky thoughts about Season 2 Daredevil, some related to my little jaunt to NYC last August http://gonzai55.livejournal.com/#post-gonzai55-500420, some spoilery, some not, but to be safe, putting everything behind the cut.

[Spoiler (click to open)]1 - Kudos to the Daredevil makeup crew for remembering all of Matt's injuries from last season. Good to see a show ( Read more... )

I've spent much of yesterday and today binge-watching 'The Pacific' (on Ep 9 now). I think the dogs are planning a mutiny. The rats might help.

Sorry, critters, but war movies are hell.

So I've been watching a bunch of TV shows and movies lately...a LOT of them...and I've concluded that there are three things I really, really can't deal with seeing on film ( Read more... )

On to 'Under The Dome' now, try to finish that ( Read more... )

Knocked out a few more films on the list since the television schedule is kicking it up a notch. Might be a while before I can get back to working on the list. But in the meantime, saw three more films from the list and liked all three. 'Mutiny On The Bounty' - the 1935 version - was pretty decent if somewhat ahistorical. 'High Noon' was not what I ( Read more... )

Reviewing them with myself won't work unless I actually do it, right ( Read more... )
