  @stu said in Jack Ryan on Amazon Prime: @gators1 said in Jack Ryan on Amazon Prime: @stu said in Jack Ryan on Amazon Prime: I don’t get the crappy writing coming out of Hollywood. There are still good traditional writers out there, but everything now seems like it’s written as an episode of NCIS. Amazon seems to have real issues with this. Man in the High Castle is beautifully produced but the writing is so poorly paced forced. Hell, with Jack Ryan they could have simply adapted Tom Clancy’s books, well, the ones before Ryan becomes President. I’d love to see some Cardinal in the Kremlin, Red Rabbit, even a full adaptation of Hunt for Red October could be great. You’re welcome. The Hunt for Red October - Trailer Great movie, still one of my favorites honestly. But it doesn’t really follow the book. I heard before that short stories make good films, novels don’t, because they’re too long. But a 12 episode series adapted from a novel. That could work. And to emphasize my point on bad writing… Red October 2018 comes out next week: Hunter Killer (2018 Movie) Official Trailer – Gerard Butler, Gary Oldman, Common The Tampa Bay gone missing?! Impossible

Didn’t even know Bunk was in that series too. Bunk is not dead. That fucker is a CIA plant and is now fighting Islamists for Amazon. Yeah, and he’s a Muslim these days so if he really dies this time, he’ll be a martyr!

  @jerraye said in Secrets of the Castle: Oi, fellow serfs! Whilst dabblin’ in the arcane art of watching moving images in YouTube, me lucky arse stumbled upon a most interesting documentary series of five episodes, centered around a project of building a medieval castle by using historical construction methods in France. Me tiny ears had heard of the construction project before, but had no knowledge of the documentary series, until now. I highly recommend the series for anyone interested in medieval times (and/or KC:D) and I’m sorry if this was posted before. Here’s the first episode: I had no idea there were documentaries in English about the project, but if some of you ever travel in France, I heartily suggest to make a stop there. Very very interesting.

  Not far from where I am are Sagamore Hill, Hyde Park, Top Cottage and Val-Kil, so Maureen and I have been able to fill in the blanks quite a bit by visiting each of the foregoing places and staying awhile. Sagamore Hill is especially close and it’s nice to go up there when outdoor concerts are being held. The FDR library on his estate does a pretty good job revealing some of the dark side as well - including a piece on the internment camps. Everyone has some racism in them, and the two Roosevelt presidents were no exception. It was interesting to be in Eleanor’s Val-Kil cottage living room and looking at the two chairs sitting at a small round table in the corner where JFK sat opposite to her when he came to ask for her endorsement - and speculating about the chat that took place there. One can imagine the ghosts hovering about when one visits these places.

  I don’t think I made it through season 1 of Futurama. I think I did like 4 seasons of the Simpsons because it was novel and maybe 4 of Family Guy but otherwise have shunned the animated comedies.

  I’ve tried to watch season 2 twice now, but get distracted before ep 2 is done and forget I was even watching it till days later. I’m telling comcast to fuck off this week, so I’ll be losing HBO shortly.

  @gators1 said in Last Chance U: Season 3 is coming up. They are moving out of East Mississippi and decided to go find a loser school for contrast. And what better place to look for a loser school than Kansas. Last Chance U Season 3 Official Trailer + Reaction!!! Holy cow, I didn’t even know that Independence HAD a college much less a team. What a culture shock for the bros.

  @pakoon said in The Americans: @gators1 said in The Americans: Philip and Elizabeth are fucked. Stan’s gonna get them! spoiler Yup. I think the writers got a bit lazy with Beeman and how he started to suspect the Jennings couple. Yeah, like he just figured out that people leaving town all the time or coming home in the middle of the night all the time probably aren’t really travel agents. It was only after hearing about the tradecraft of another illegal that he started to get suspicious at all.

  Watched some of the live streams from the playtesting this weekend of Post Scriptum. You can see much improvement graphically since the last one. It was also very painfully obvious how much teamwork was needed to do well in this game. The first battle looked like any one of those ARMA asshattery videos and they got steamrolled. Although towards the the Brits started getting serious but by then it was too late. You could also see that certain squads were all but missing (logistics and armor). The town to defend was only lightly fortified, never once saw any allied mortars and only saw a Firefly towards the end of the game. They had a Cromwell earlier but was being manned by guys who had no clue what to do. It also showed how important recon and intel was to your team. The Germans appeared to be using one squad and a MSP to keep the Brits off balance and get them to concentrate their troops in the wrong area before pushing with the final assault for the victory against virtually no opposition on the complete opposite side of town. The second battle was going very well as the team had mixed up and seemed both sides were communicating well and working together.

  I coulda gone the full distance- the Traveller ATV is clearly patterned after the LIS:TOS one for instance. I think I’ve been remarkably restrained.
