I like to watch the Daily Show with Trevor Noah on Comedy Central, which is always yesterday's episode over here due to time differences. However this week they've been airing episodes of last month. What's the point of that I have no clue. For one, I've seen them already, and secondly, it's news from last month. That ain't interesting anymore!
![]() Next to that, I started watching True Detective. I'm in the 3rd or 4th episode now of the first season, and I'm really liking it so far. Started watching it mainly because Woody Harrelson stars in it. I've got a weak spot for him since the very beginning, when he was in Cheers. But especially Matthew McConaughey is great in it. |
^^ re: true detective
a warning, cuz some of it is fascinating as fuck and some of it is depressing as hell tread carefully! |
Today will be packed with sports:
Right now it's Rugby League match New Zealand vs Great Britain, followed by Rugby Union final WC match of England vs South Africa. Thank God I was wide awake at 5AM, not really. The rules between league and union are significantly different, which I didn't really know because rugby is such a small sport over here. I guess I like League more because it's quicker. It's just confusing to me that both England and Great Britain are playing on the same day. Go brexit! :) Later today there is high speed skating, the first race of the season, Dutch trials which is always very competitive. winter is coming Then tonight there's the F1 qualification for tomorrow's race in the US. Maybe some football in between? |
WATCHMEN on HBO is some weird, wild shit and I am hooked
|
Osmosis, French sci-fi about finding your "perfect match"

Finally getting around to watching the 2nd season of the Terror
damn, that ghost is some oko-mote! ![]() |

90 Day Fiancé (Jorge & Anfisa)
Lesson learned: don't promise Russian girls you're a millionaire and you'll give them anything you want. They might take it seriously :rolleyes: Even more important lesson: don't explain your partner how the find my iPhone option works if (s)he's paranoid. You'll get paranoid yourself by a continuously beeping noise Also there's this brand new comedy show called Married With Children. The guy playing Buck Bundy should win an Emmy |
The End of the F***ing World season 2, and it’s complete garbage so far.
|
going through the sopranos all over again, which, with time and distance, is a different kind of pleasure—less thrilling, but you see the structure more, the themes and variations, the changes in the characters, etc.
currently near the end of season 2. great. |
Watchmen is going so hard on my goodness
|
Watchmen is asskickin!!!!
|
Indeed. Alan Moore should shut the fuck up and stop being a bitch about it
|
really great series of short docu's on Netflick, "Flavorful Origins". Obscure Chinese cuisine, from growing or harvesting the food to some minor recipes, not a cooking show, per se, just a homage to old school Chinese cookery, eg 3o year old preserved radish, seaweed use, marinated crab, etc. Really high production values, great cinematography, just a great length of only like 10 minutes for each episode. Highest recco's..

I bought myself some DVD boxsets and they arrived today:
- Fawlty Towers (2 seasons) - Absolutely Fabulous (5 seasons) - Blackadder (4 seasons) And I ordered the fully restored 50th anniversary Monty Phython Flying Circus boxset And also the Monty Python Absolutely Everything boxset. Which I'll perhaps return after I received it, because it might be a bit superfluous. But I might as well keep it. It's a bit weird there are several different kinds of these boxsets, some with 12, some with 13 and some with 14 discs. Not sure what exactly the differences are. I think I'm getting the one with 13 discs. |
Bloody fucking hell
My home stereo system suddenly decided that it no longer wants to recognize any DVD's. CD's and Bluray's are still fine, but no more DVD's, even those that used to work. :( :mad: Just when I wanted to start watching some Blackadder :fuckyou: Guess it needs a replacement, it's already 10 years old perhaps |

if you already did that then yeah BURN BURN BURN IT :D i haven't used physical media in ages. maybe look for online options? don't know... i think black adder here is on amazon... or maybe it was netflix. -- yep, it's free on prime video. same as father ted hahahahahaaaaaa. fucking father ted... |
plug yer laptop in with a hdmi cable
|
MMMMmmmmm Blackadder
|
there's a documentary on Black Adder, was it included in the set? I've been trying to get ahold of a copy for a while!!

But the cover doesn't mention any documentary. Mine has 4 DVD's, and has only the 4 seasons without extras. There are also boxes with more DVD's for instance here is mentioned that the ultimate collection has that documentary. Damn, should have searched a bit better, I only checked the boxes that were on sale, the 6 disc version is only costing a couple Euros more even though it's not on sale ... Perhaps I could return it even though I already removed the shrink wrapping. Quote:
So I've decided to get me a new system. It's Black Friday week(end), so I should be able to get a good deal somewhere. For the geeks, this is a Sony BDV-E780w and like I said, it's possibly already 10 years old, so it's about time for a replacement. Quote:

^^ oh, i don’t have amazon music, only prime video, which comes free with the 2-day shipping
you guys got black friday too? hahaha. plague does travel... [eta: i still have a refurbished br player i bought for $30 on amazon, years ago. it’s in my boondocks house waiting for the alpacalypse.] — anyway, im re-hooked on the sopranos all over again (yes they’re free on prime video right now for some reason), just started the final season. — eta: except for too many dream/alternate reality episodes, which... come on already this is not twin peaks |

Some stores were complaining about Black Friday because it's too close before Sinterklaas (5 December) and Christmas. So they were proposing to reschedule Black Friday to earlier in the year. Anyway, I subscribed to Netflix to watch The Irishman. So if anyone has any suggestions, fire away. Especially if there's a good science fiction alien comedy series or film. |

black peter friday: is it racist? anyway, netflix the... what’s the name with the junkie lady from orange... natasha.... lyonne? RUSSIAN DOLL! very good. i started watching santa clarita diet but forgot, the guy from justified was in it and was funny (sheriff bullock from deadwood) never seen narcos but apparently it was traumatizing for many house of cards was brilliant till they shitcanned kevin spacey orange is the new black can be good in seasons but also depressing (‘merica! jails!) CHAPELLE IS A MUST GLOW was great too oh, holy shit, the best show ever is BOJACK HORSEMAN none of these are science fiction. trying to think of one. black mirror? never saw it so i am not sure. |
Black Mirror is overrated, mass brainwashing disguised as edgy avant-garde television. It is Twilight Zone without humanity.

aside from that—didn’t you like peaky blinders? or am i thinking of the wrong person? |
before you splurge on a new dvd player, check out your refurb shop, if you have one, I got a 2005 era Marantz with like 0 wear on it for 10$, it's been working great for 4 years.

yeah, a couple of the episodes were really repulsive in Season 1, the one about the pig and the one with Mike Smiley where the criminals were killed over and over again. Extra crappy stuff. I stopped watching. Charlie Booker was a great snarky comedian, not so much as a dystopian writer |
caught last night the first episode of CARNIVAL ROW
![]() nice cast, peculiar settings, there’s some promise in the story—i’m slightly intrigued, yeah. |
^^really enjoyed first season of that and yeah i binged. good story (about refugees, indentured servitude, racism, etc), and the girl is pretty.
![]() (also: titties) rené echeverría who had a hand in ds9 is one of the creators, and it shows—the borg queen is in this hahahahah ![]() |
I keep seeing the trailers before watching anything on prime. Annoying thing is when it plays there's a sound on it that sounds like someone rapidly knocking on my front door.
Since then I'm boycotting the program. I need to be more confused than I already am. |

This is longer trailer but the knocking on it does my tree in. It's played before I watch something else on Amazon prime so many times I'm boycotting it without knowing anything about it. |

anyway, here’s an adolescent argument in favor (nsfw if your job involves children) https://ci.phncdn.com/videos/201909/...SIzpBoU7)7.jpg (pg 13: titties) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ plus maybe, if you watch it, the trailer will cease to play elsewhere but seriously, was a decent/timely story, imaginative, visually well put together, and a good cast— plus the borg queen! |
anyway, britannia season 2 is not on yet :(
|
Watchmen be killing it, guys.

I ordered the new Monty Python boxset a couple weeks ago, it still hasn't arrived, even though something else I ordered at the same time did arrive last week. I just checked the invoice, under shipping carrier it says:
Carrier Monty Python Shipping So now I'm afraid it will take another couple of months ... ![]() |
