Sorry but my wife and I agree on some things, and one is we don't do cartoons, horror, sci-fi etc.

If it isn't about reality, don't waste our time.

Our most recent movies:

The Mule

Highwaymen

Green Book

Bohemian Rhapsody

Star is Born

So I saw "Avengers: Endgame" this past Saturday. Although I was unhappy with a couple of things, overall I enjoyed the movie a lot. I think that anyone who has enjoyed the Marvel superhero movies will probably love it. Although it is a 3-hour movie, for me it didn't feel that long. At one point my wife leaned over and asked me to check the time; I was surprised when I realized that almost 2 1/2 hours had gone by, because it didn't feel like it at all. It just moves along, with very few slow spots (and most of those are early on, before the action really starts).

There are no post-credit scenes in this one, so if you have to rush to the restroom when it is done you won't have to wait. Other than that, I won't give out any spoilers....

Can you believe that the Lorax killed Thanos and Captain Kirk?

I know! That was totally surprising! But I thought the light saber duel between Black Panther and the Night King was very well done.

On Netflix:

3rd season of The Colony.

2nd season Ash v. Evil Dead.

1st season of Roswell. Kinda like Dawson's Creek with aliens, but overall watchable.

I hope you re not talking about the new show on the CW Roswell, New Mexico. That show is completely unwatchable. Made it through half the first episode, Homosexual extra planetary aliens. No thank you!

Homosexual extra planetary aliens are also all over Orville. It seems to be a new trend. The Left loves homos.

I keep expectations low. Right now it's as far as I can tolerate. If it devolves any worse then I'm gone.

Loved Ash v. Evil Dead. Every once in a while I put on "Killer of Killers" from the first season to watch Ash explain to a waitress how he's going to pay his bill by giving her sex. Bruce Campbell is awesome.

None of those is 'about reality'. They are all a Hollywood projection or reality. They all have so much incorrect according to documented historical fact.

Too bad there won't be a S4 - hope to see more of Dana DelLrenzo in coming years.

I re-watched Brisco County last year - it was better than I remembered. Toward the end they're escaping in the newly-invented blimp and BC tells Aston he'll make a fortune from it - even if he only sold one it would be a good year...

He stole alot of scenes in Burn Notice. Love his characters. He does the best one liners and it's refreshing to see some masculinity (even if over the top) v. the beat down whimpering that that most make roles are.

I'm trying the Rivers of London urban fantasy series - not that great so far. Also watched the Neil Gaiman miniseries Neverwhere - not bad considering the low budget and mid-90's technology.

â€˜The Expanseâ€™ Renewed for Season 5 at Amazon

Amazon has picked up â€œThe Expanseâ€ for a fifth season.

The announcement was made during the Television Critics Association summer press tour on Saturday. Season 4 of the series is set to debut on Dec. 13.

â€œThe Expanseâ€ aired its first three seasons on Syfy, with the cable networking having cancelled the series back in 2019. Shortly after it was cancelled, it was reported that Amazon was in talks to continue the series, which is produced and fully financed by Alcon Television Group....

Well its looks like they have cleaned it up, however, you can really see the cheezy late 70s special effects.

Well I'm almost done watching Buck Rogers.

1st season was OK. I really liked the Dracoinan Empire episodes and didn't care for the Gary Coleman apperance. Neat to see Buster Crabbe.
2nd season I'm almost done and I can see why NBC stopped it. It was like a cross between Star Trek / Battlestar Galactica with a classic comic name. Eric Gray did have some nice looking legs though.

It was cerebal, the visual effects was neat, and the story was neat.

The movie did have a nice little homage to 2001 and there are 3 actors from the movie Space Cowboys who appeared in the movie.
