Sneakeater Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 This is embarrassing -- and reveals me as the nerd I do not deny I am -- but I could watch the Nimoy/Quinto Audi commercial infinite times. And have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joethefoodie Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 The Stanley Tucci Italy thing on CNN - caught las night...leaves me a little cold. Or makes me realize how much better the Bourdain stuff was. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AaronS Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 really liked the first five episodes of painting with john. also if anyone hasn't bothered yet I just changed from the prime hbo channel to hbo max and there's more content for the same price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I watched the first episode, liked it a lot, and then forgot all about it. So thanks for the reminder. I was a big fan of Fishing with John. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lippy Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I am enjoying the Stanley Tucci Italy series. I had gotten tired of Bourdain's shtick and Tucci is lower key in a good way. I always felt that Bourdain's "adventures" distracted and detracted from the food, which is what interested me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hollywood Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I watched the first 2 episodes of WandaVision on Disney+. Hit me from left field. Nothing like I anticipated. It's a sendup of 60s and 70s sitcoms but with a little Marvel magic. Clever and amusing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

small h Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 The United States vs Billie Holiday. A little too Afterschool Special for me, but not bad. Kind of worth it just for Leslie Jordan's hair, but you only need to watch the first 5:00 to see that. And Nomadland, which was fantastic. Really interesting article about it in the NYT, also. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/22/movies/frances-mcdormand-nomadland.html?searchResultPosition=4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bloviatrix Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Who was it who recommended Ted Lasso? I was doubtful after episode 1 but really glad I stuck with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
small h Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Me, probably. I'm glad you liked it. It does get - not exactly better, but deeper and more complicated - the longer you watch it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephanieL Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Nice to forget my troubles with a Saturday evening showing of Arsenic and Old Lace. 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
