What are you watching?

[Danke]

I read some of the comments under that vid... that machine is made from Legos? or part of it is? Looks like plywood to me

I don't think so.

House of Cards season 4 so far is epic, at least in its photography. A lot of symmetric shots/pairing in the first couple episodes. Episodes 3 and 4 may be the best so far in the whole series.

This season also has Neve Campbell (campaign strategist), Cicely Tyson (US Rep) and Ellen Burstyn (Claire's mom).

Episode 7 begins the 2nd act, it is a classic. The lead guy from The Killing plays the GOP candidate.

Also noticed the guy who has been playing the Russian Pres. is related to the guy who plays TV Hannibal.

Don't know if this has been posted as I'm not into the subject much, but...Dark Mirror. Just stumbled onto it on one of my rare lazy days, Wow to episode one....

You mean black mirror? Great series. I referenced Season 1, Episode 3 in a thread last week or so.

Ya, sorry. Black Mirror. Haven't made it to three yet but will pretty soon. This seems to be more than a couple notches above the standard mind numbingly stupid fare.

Yay!!! They'd better not fuck it up, I love that movie.

Trainspotting 2: filming underway for Danny Boyle's long-awaited sequel

For those of you worried that the Trainspotting sequel may be nothing more than a pipe dream, your concerns will dissipate with the knowledge that filming is officially underway.

Danny Boyle confirmed the news in a post via Humans of Edinburgh's Facebook page where he revealed he had returned to the Scottish capital for the first time since filming his 1996 cult.

"Coming back to Edinburgh has actually been really fascinating, since filming the first Trainspotting. Edinburgh has changed dramatically," he wrote.

Things have changed quite a bit since the film's release in 1996: for starters, McGregor has since played Obi-Wan Kenobi in George Lucas' Star Wars prequels and Boyle is no longer a relative British newcomer but a globally successful Oscar-winning filmmaker (taking home the trophy for Slumdog Millionaire in 2009).

The sequel will be based on Welsh's sequel Porno which was released in 2002; the author and Carlyle - who played Begbie - are set to discuss the character's influence during a talk hosted by the Edinburgh International Book Festival (EIBF) in April.

The original centered on the lives of a group of heroin addicts residing in Edinburgh during the late Eighties.

No title or release date has yet been announced.

I see there's already a prequel to The Revenant:

Vikings is getting good. Is anyone else watching?

Vikings is getting good. Is anyone else watching?

They have 20 episodes this season (the last 10 will start in September after a break), so they can put more into developing/expanding the subplots. So far, much brutal.

Some foreshadowing in (I think) the first episode where Bjorn shows his brother a map of the Mediterranean. The historical Bjorn Ironside did take a large fleet to raid there, and eventually made it to the coast of Italy.

Floki's story still is very similar to Loki in the mythology:

AFTER the death of Baldur, Loki never again ventured to intrude himself into the presence of the Æsir. He knew well enough that he had now done what could never be forgiven him, and that, for the future, he must bend all his cunning and vigilance to the task of hiding himself for ever from the eyes of those whom he had so injured, and escaping the just punishment he had brought upon himself.

In all the world there was only one who pitied him. His kind wife ever afterwards stood beside him, and held a cup over his head to catch the poison. When the cup was full, she was obliged to turn away to empty it, and drops of poison fell again on Loki's face. He shuddered and shrank from it, and the whole earth trembled. So will he lie bound till Ragnarök be come.

oh yeah Mrs Navy and I are. And yes it is getting better.

This series is interesting, it uses almost exclusively movie actors for the main characters:

The first episode was good, it ends with OJ and AJ taking off in the white Bronco. May be due to the dramatization, but I never knew Johnny Cochran and Chris Darden were friends/close acquaintances.

yeah same here

Who's excited about Better Call Saul?! Lucille is.

If you didn't watch S1, AMC's running a marathon on Monday before the S2 premier.

Lovin it here too
I really like Mike, he is good in that role, that is sort of a carryover from Breaking Bad.

Maybe already posted upthread, but this is a Tuesday show that just started a few weeks ago:

The dude on the right is played by Ryan Hurst (Opie from SOA), also stars David Morse. It takes elements from SOA and Justified, about the same group they called the "Hill People" in Justified. Similar storyline- the coal company comes to the town below, full of out of work coal miners, they take the mountain via eminent domain, but the people on the mountain have lived off the grid ever since they claimed the land in the 1800s, they would rather not move off the mountain...

They have guns in the poster, but they really didn't use them much on the mountain (until one day...), so the ones they originally have are like Civil War era rifles, some revolvers and a tommy gun that no one really knows how to use. They hunt mainly using crossbows and traps. Their language is mostly recognizable English, but some words and phrases they either carried over from Welsh, Scottish, Dutch, or they made it up on their own.

This is another show that is spinning up to be quite interesting.

I just finished the season today. It was my second-favorite behind season 1. I think the show has to end by next season, though - they're going in a few directions that really strain credulity. I am very interested to see where Claire and Doug end up.

The only Vikings character who never disappoints.

If she were in Game of Thrones, they would only be able to make 1 season before she claimed the throne.

Basketball. It's March. Duh.

Yes..but watching on a torrent site since we cancelled our cable. I didn't realize it was filmed in Canada.
