    You have to really want it.

      As mentioned concurrently, The Greatest Story Ever Told is on, and hilariously magnificent.

      John Wayne was a huge 'highlight'.

      It's also a cracking film about "chinese whispers".

        I’m watching the (most) recent TV version of Vanity Fair, with Olivia Cooke. Pretty good. Michael Palin has a brief bit introducing every episode as Thackeray himself.

          Watched the first half of the Beeb's version of Watership Down last night. The original cartoon makes me want to cry and so did this version, but only because I was straining to make out the picture because of the shitty CGI animation.

              Did I mention yet we're watching The Good Place on Netflix? Ted Danson plays an angel and Kristen Bell plays a self-absorbed shit-head who get sent to heaven by mistake, but wants to stay so decides to become a better person. It's very good. Short little 22-minute network episodes.

                WOM, we've been talking about that for months. You need to watch the entire first series before we can talk about it.

                  We're comfortably into series 2.

                    I found it hit a brick wall around ep3 or 4 of season 3. I just totally lost interest.

                      The first few episodes of the Kominsky method were enjoyable. I love Alan Arkin.

                        At some point in the last few years, Michael Douglas seems to have turned into his dad.

                          And his dad has turned into something out of Madame Tussaud's, the rapey old centenarian.

                            Phew!

                            Ted Danson's great in this isn't he?

                              It turns around in episode 9 (a bit late I grant.) It's the only one that matches the first two seasons. In fact you can probably start season three there, and not miss a thing.

                                Yup it's a winner — though I figured you'd have to be of pensionable age to really appreciate it.

                                  He doesn't do much wrong. I even liked him in CSI. The whole cast is excellent, with extra props to 'Janet'.

                                    I was born cranky and jaded Amor.

                                      Today I finished The Innocent Man series on Netflix. Very recommended. Those that are caught up w/ Making a Murderer can experience a couple of similarly questionable convictions.

                                      I lived in Oklahoma during these crimes and trials and Dreams of Ada was the first book I read to clearly show the absolute power of interrogating police detectives. Later my dad turned me on to John Grisham's The Innocent Man which likewise, shows the Ada police department acting criminally (I will say no more on the subject).

                                      And on to a completely different genre and time period, just watched The Bishop's Wife w/ my mom -- an excellent film and message.

                                        I'm watching a documentary on HBO about the 2008 financial crisis that offers a new perspective on what happened. Here's more information about it, if anyone is interested: https://tinyurl.com/ViceSpecialReport

                                          Just started The Good Place. I liked it, the wife less so.

                                              I watched the Ron Howard Beatles documentary which was on late last night. Very enjoyable, perhaps the best thing I've seen about how the crazy acceleration of their fame affected them and how they had to try to put the brakes on it, all in the space of two or three years.

                                                Watched that Beatles doc as well, I know I sound like my parents but there was bugger all interesting on Christmas day TV, spent most of the day going through stuff I'd built up in the planner, I'm finally catching up on Doctor Who.

                                                  Allied (2016). Dull, boring, full of bad CGI.

                                                  Ellen DeGeneres' latest standup special "Relatable" - Some nice lines but nothing more.

                                                    I’m on my second attempt through the new Black Mirror choose-your-own-adventure. I messed up the first time and hit a dead end.
