I started watching Falling Skies on a lark through netflix (I'm using smartflix, dunno if it's available in US region netflix, offhand), it's not bad although they hit the Jesus-juice pretty hard every couple/three episodes. I miss seeing Noah Wyle on TV, I guess I have a soft spot in my heart for Earth2, and since I never watched ER I haven't seen him in much for quite a while. Not a bad show, at least as good or better than most post-apoc TV series I've seen, although I'm only through the first season so far. They stole the opening fight scene from Season 2 ep 1, from the opening cinematics of one of my favorite video games though..!

I caught Calvary on HBOGO last night and it was fantastic. I'm not sure why, but I got some SERIOUS nostalgia for the first time I read The Brothers Karamazov while watching this movie. It's basically about a priest who knows he's going to be murdered in a week and we follow his efforts to tend his flock and do some soul searching of his own in that time. That summary is painfully simple considering how deep this film is, but I'm honestly going to need a few weeks to fully absorb the experience this movie gave me. My new favorite film.

Notable Paramount-on-Youtube highlight: The Colossus of New York. It's a 50s robot movie where the robot looks like a Greco-Roman statue, has the brain of a dead scientist, and the personality of Shelley's Frankenstein, eloquent and extremely bitter. He has a creepy speaker voice and the score is all sinister piano music by Van Cleave.

Hat Thoughts posted:This sounds sick as hell and I'm watching it 4 sure I just did and to be fair, he does not look like a Greco Roman statue. That's fine - in fact, it's really cool that the title compares him to the Colossus of Rhodes, but he looks like a cross between a cubist painting and a cardboard robot costume. The (French) director only did a bunch of giant lizard movies apart from this (I think it's the same guy that did Beast from 20000 Fathoms and Gorgo), so it's pretty cool to see his take on the Statue of Liberty. I don't know that I'd say it's a great movie but it is definitely punching way out of its weight class idea wise.

The film is like 65 minutes, as a nice bonus.

Noah Wiley rules, I really really liked this show but there is a very harsh drop in story quality after season 2. It's still watchable, the only season I outright dislikes was the final.

It's still watchable, the only season I outright dislikes was the final.  "where the gently caress did this alien riding a horse come from? so now the skitters are using warpaint so they look like their former leader? where did all of these alien weapons come from? who the gently caress is cochise? why is Tom's 9 year-old son running around sticking alien grenades to poo poo in a combat zone? who's this hot black chick hanging on Ben's dick? why does everybody think the new aliens are gonna gently caress them over, since they just gave them a fuckload of weaponry? the last scene I saw in season 2 involving Hal, had him get up and walk to the mirror - why's he in a loving wheelchair now?!" It's still fun and I mainly like binging on series like this because I can just leave them running in the background while I'm doing dishes or other chores around the house which don't involve making a ton of noise.I just hope Lourdes gets killed off at some point. She's like the opposite of a successful Bechdel Test character, all she does is pray, and chase around sexy dudes... And apparently they nixxed the jesus juice stuff after the first season because she never really mentions religion again after being super in your face about it for the whole first season... So she just seems to flip between dudes now, with no other purpose except to be a backup character for Anne's scenes. (also the actress playing Anne has just about the coolest name ever - the kind of name I'd expect to see as a pen name for some self-published fantasy author on amazon.com) I'm not entirely sure if I'm hate-watching by season 3, or just hanging on for the ride to get some closure. It's a fun show but I definitely had to put my brain on a shelf to keep up with it, at a certain point. Also I had to look it up, but his name is Noah "Wyle", I thought there was an I in there at least!

Full- and Fuller House are the TV watching equivalent of eating a bag of marshmallows. Overpoweringly sweet, not good for you, leaves you regretting your actions yet a whole bunch of people did it anyway. I hope we see a resurrection of all the old TGIF stuff. Bronson Pinchot needs work, let's see what Balki Bartokomous is up to. Did Steve Urkel ever get any cheese? Call up Jaleel White and find out. How did Step by Step get seven seasons in the first place? Who cares, let's go for eight.

I'm pretty sure Jaleel White walked away from Urkel with millions and millions of dollars, and was perfectly happy to do so and move on with life. I doubt he'd be all that excited to do the character again, but who knows.

Also I think he's ripped as hell now. He'd have to be Stefan 24/7. Carl is still alive though, so I say make that happen.

Urkel is a perfect example of someone adopting the Howard Stern theory of succeeding in show business. The minute you have any sort of decent success, you loving latch onto that poo poo with a deathgrip and don't let go until either you're fired or have so much money that you're filthy rich for the rest of your life. None of this crap where you leave after 2 seasons to be a major movie star. Jaleel White was able to "retire" at like age 25 and has complete freedom in his life to do whatever he wants.

I've always suspected that Stefan was an invention of Jaleel White because being Urkel wasn't getting him laid.

Having cast off his nerdy upbringing, Steve Urkel finds himself a quickly rising star in the Chicago police force. His combination of brains and brawn have made him a stand out in the eyes of the commandant. He is selected to head up a new internal affairs cold case task force. At the top of the pile of folders he finds on the desk in his new office is a familiar name: Winslow. Follow Urkel as he has to investigate his much beloved former neighbour, Carl, who was the lead suspect in the case until some evidence was mysteriously misplaced back in 1993. Is Carl a dirty cop or is it a frame up? Is the disappearance of Waldo Geraldo Faldo related? Will Laura, the object of his boyhood affection, have the key that unlocks the puzzle spread before him? Find out by watching all six episodes of the mini series Family Matters-er this October on Netflix.

It could also include a case involving that little girl that was on the show and went upstairs one episode and never came back down. I think she became a porn star or whatever. I can't be bothered to look it up at work, but that would be hilarious. Make it happen Jaleel.

Years after the disappearance of Judy shatters the Winslow family, clues found at the scenes of seemingly unrelated crimes point to her involvement and a coverup that implicates City Hall. Carl can only trust one man, a nerdy former neighbor to help him unravel the case, and redeem himself.
