Thread: What are you watching?

Last light, about 11:30pm I open of Netflix and would you believe it, they have a new "Netflix Original" series of..... Voltoron. I watched episode 1. I was a little worried at first. Years ago I watched some of the old Sinbad movies from my childhood. And they were not anywhere near as awesome as I once remembered. I turned off the TV a wiser man. So I was a little worried about Voltron. But wouldn't you know it, they did a damn good job! The animation is of the type used during my childhood. And the dialogue although simple enough for kiddos to get into was also done well enough that I was entertained as well. I recommend it to anyone who watched that cartoon growing up, to check out the Netflix version, and hopefully you'll enjoy it as much as I did.

Hahaha! Yeah, I had a bit of mixed reaction to it. I've seen both seasons. I'll give them this much, they didn't maim it too terribly. I'd go as far as to say the animation is a huge step up from the original. And there's a flowing plot line rather than random disjointed story segments that don't flow so well, which is also good.

Maladroit - if you like Longmire, I also recommend Hell on Wheels. I still need to catch the last season of it.

I've burned a lot of time on YouTube lately. It's so fascinating what you can learn there! Last week I learned how to lay the foundation and make the cuts for joining the logs of a cabin. This week it was more damascus forging and "no spin knife throwing" how-tos. I don't know if this information will ever do me any good, but I can thank YouTube for having the answers!

I freaking love YouTube! You can learn darn near anything! From how to cook like it's the 1700's, to clutch swaps, copper plating, a new language, or even AutoCad. It is a wealth of knowledge!

Interesting on their algorithm though. I too was getting a suggested video to watch for spineless knife throwing. Hmm....

Watching a series called the Borgias at the moment with Jeremy Irons as the Borgia pope,pretty good show. Fortitude is another good one, vikings too.

Watched Howl's living castle last night, a japanese anime written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki.

I enjoy Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli's work. They made a lot of good movies over the years.

Yesterday I was sort of on a cheesy horror movie kick. Mega shark VS Mecha Shark was probably the highlight because it was every bit as corny as the title makes it sound. I was not disappointed lol.

After the Borgias - watch: Medici: Masters of Florence. It takes place about the same time.

Cheers I'll take a look at Medici.

Started watching Westworld, looks like it could be quite good.
