Husband is watching "Winchester"

Sarah’s life story and the mansion that she built have been the inspiration of many stories, films and books over the years.  So, it is only fitting that her story was recently brought to the big screen with the release of Winchester, a supernatural thriller directed by Michael and Peter Spierig, and written by the Spierigs and Tom Vaughan. The film stars Helen Mirren as heiress Sarah Winchester, with Jason Clarke and Sarah Snook, and follows Mrs. Winchester as she is haunted by spirits inside her San Jose mansion in 1906.

The Winchester Mystery House® closed its doors to the public for a whirlwind 72-hour film shoot of exteriors, aerials and a few interior rooms.  The rest of the filming was done in the director’s home country of Australia.  Lead actress Helen Mirren did extensive research and visited the estate privately to better understand Sarah’s story and immerse herself in her worlster"...........

While dog-sitting for my son, had an opportunity to watch PREY on Hulu.

The heroine reminds me of Bunchy's wife Teresa in RAY DONOVAN. (Alyssa Diaz)

HIGH WATER: High Water is a suspenseful, six-episode disaster drama series
inspired by the real-life events of the Millennium Flood which hit Poland,
as well as parts of Czech Republic and Germany in 1997.

This past weekend:
"Treasure Island", with Charlton Heston as Long John Silver.
I had never previously read the book, never seen the earlier versions, so the story was new to me.

I thought it was quite good. As the story progressed, I didn't see "Charlton Heston"  onscreen, but rather John Silver...

If you have not read Treasure Island, you are poorer for it. I can highly recommend that with all the classics. Movies necessarily cannot do it justice.

Question for all the watchers here:  I've seen little bits and pieces of the War of the Worlds remake on Epix.  I'm wondering if it's worth it to try and figure out how to watch the whole thing.

[rustynail]

An election being stolen in real time.

Hell. 2020 went so well and un-challenged.

I had never read it until my wife bought  me a copy when we were dating. Loved it.

I have a great affinity for the old classics. Everyone should read them all.

During dinner I watched a bit of the Little Rascals movie.  It was really well made.  I used to love watching the Little Rascals when I was a kid.

[verga]

Watched Manifest, was that it? Are more episodes coming or eas that the series/ season finale?

[jmyrlefuller]

Don't judge me.

[jmyrlefuller]

Also watched Weird: The Al Yankovic Story a while back.

Very deadpan, very dry. But funny. Not quite Walk Hard funny, but a good satire of the whole "biopic" stuff.

[Gefn]

Watched Manifest, was that it? Are more episodes coming or eas that the series/ season finale?

Ten more episodes dropping in early next year? Spring ?

Not soon enough for me

I’ll miss it. @verga

[libertybele]

I don't watch much TV but we are just hours away from "Yellowstone" Season 5.

[Gefn]

Anyone watch all those lifetime Christmas movies?

I kinda like them….

Also watched "Ball of Fire" (Circa 1941) ... Another Romantic Comedy staring Gary Cooper as a middle age Professor that gets wowed/used/and loved by a pretty lady while trying to figure out language used by the more hip crowd for the dictionary his group is writing.

Not so easy to find... but I found it to download with a little looking.

Yeah, I have watched a few, but they have now all been cookie cutter wrote to where they don't seem where one is different from another.

Also have gave that new Star Wars show "Andor" a whirl and it has bored me for the most part.

I just finished watching the Malverde: El Santo Patrón series on Netflix.

I'm currently watching Have Gun Will Travel.

I just finished watching the Malverde: El Santo Patrón series on Netflix.

I'm currently watching Have Gun Will Travel.

I have fond memories of the show but now have the theme song stuck in my head. Damn ear worms!

Have Gun Will Travel reads the card of a man.
A knight without armor in a savage land.

His fast gun for hire heeds the calling wind.
A soldier of fortune is the man called Paladin.

Paladin, Paladin
Where do you roam?
Paladin, Paladin,
Far, far from home.

Full version continues:

He travels on to wherever he must.
A chess knight of silver is his badge of trust.
There are campfire legends that the plainsmen spin.
Of the man with the gun, of the man called Paladin.

Paladin, Paladin
Where do you roam?
Paladin, Paladin,
Far, far from home.

Far from home,
Far from home.

I watch them with my elderly mom. We always enjoy poking fun at the cookie cutter aspect of the shows.

Never saw the TV show, but I did hear some of the old radio shows from this show.

Enjoyed them.

Growing up, Have Gun Will Travel was my dad's favorite western.

[libertybele]

So, I'm slightly embarrassed. I had commented a bit ago that "Yellowstone" would be starting in a few hours. Uhmm...today is only Saturday.  It won't be on till tomorrow. Oopsie.    A senior moment strikes again.

[deb]

We are watching the new season of The Crown.

I am binging Stargete SG-1 one last time... it's leaving Netflix at the end of the month.

@debrawiest

It is cookie cutter, but fun. Plus, I do enjoy seeing all the pretty houses and Christmas trees.

I really like Christmas. Always feel sad  I never had a tree. But I do put out milk and a cookie for Santa, and watch the Yule Log on tv.

Never had a tree ! Wow, you have missed the tradition of driving on a highway and seeing a good place to get off and sneak next to road to cut a tree down on the cheap... lol... we got a lot of Christmas trees that way... Yep... risking fines everytime... but it was called making do on the cheap. On a good year, you didn't have to run for your life from a mean bull in the pasture you crossed to get to the trees.

Now why does Hallmark not make a good movie like Christmas on the cheap in the deep South. I have only had like 3 Christmases with snow (or just flakes of snow).

[berdie]

Last night I watched History of The Eagles and then Prancer.


Dish is forcing me to upgrade my equipment and I'll lose all the stuff stored on my DVR. These two shows don't get much air time.

Ah, the legendary Marty, the story that single thirtysomethings like me always dream of coming true.

[goatprairie]

Growing up, Have Gun Will Travel was my dad's favorite western.

Mine as well. HGWT many times had different kinds of plots. Not everything was solved by Paladin shooting a bad guy...although many times that's what happened.
One episode was about Paladin and a bunch of people traveling over a dangerous mountain pass whether they should try to rescue a person who had fallen off the mountain trail. I won't give away the ending but it was not what you'd expect.
It was a more intelligent than usual kind of western.

[goatprairie]

I've never seen Marty. I prefer watching Ernest Borgnine as a villain. Like as one of the villains in "Bad Day At Black Rock" which I watched again the other day for the umpteenth time. I never get tired of watching it. Ernie's big scene in the town's cafe with Spencer Tracey is a classic as is the movie as a whole.

I will bite, thanks for the suggestion (downloading now)... The "Marty" movie is more of a sweet romantic movie staring not your typical main lead (Ernest ain't exactly a Hollywood hunk, just more a hunk with a good character face). The role for the plain Jane lady (Betsy Blair) wasn't exactly what I call well cast, she was a beauty in her own right (married Gene Kelly at age 17 I think).

Marty is a real good movie, I saw it in a film class and really liked it.

I do enjoy watching shows on Food Network.

The downside is they make you hungry….

There is a technological futuristic dystopian series on Prime called 'The Peripheral' which is pretty good.
Don't want to say too much about it for spoilers, but it has to do with VR, time travel, and androids.
Techies will like it, even though parts of it are difficult to follow.

[Fishrrman]

Tonight & tomorrow:
"How I Live Now" (2013), some kind of apocalyptic film...

[libertybele]

We sat and watched "Where the Crawdads Sing" the other night.  The movie was good but definitely didn't do the book justice.
