Grand Designs and Abstract: the Art of Design are both good. The guy who built his house out of trashed bridge pieces is a particular favorite engineering thing to see in a show. I've never seen Mega Builders but added it to m list

If you have access to a library check them and search up anything with engineer or design in the tags. Engineering Disasters rules, and the uhh, e^2 documentary design is available online or on DVD.

I watched the Matrix Trilogy this week (Netflix). If you're wondering if the movies improve if you have a fever, they do not.

I still think the first one could stand to be a bit shorter. The most dated aspect is clearly the too-cool-for-skool costumes they wear in the Matrix. You would think they would want to keep a low profile so they wouldn't get spotted by an Agent (since they apparently can do a sweep for people who see "unusual" things) but they're all dressed like they walked out of a music video. It's like they intentionally designed this movie to be as appealing to teenage boys as possible.

Reloaded was worse than I remembered and Revolutions... wasn't as bad? I think it mainly benefited from extremely low expectations on my part. Reloaded really feels like it could be improved tremendously with editing. Nearly every fight involving Neo is boring and pointless and can be heavily trimmed or removed entirely (the agents at the beginning, the worthless teahouse fight with Seraph, etc). I still don't get why the power suit things in the third one have absolutely no protection for the rider, but if you start going down the Tactical Realism rabbit hole you'll start wondering why the machines didn't use chemical/nuclear weapons so whatever. The ship maneuvering through the tunnels was a lot better done than I remembered.

Honestly the second/third movies weren't quite as bad as I had made them out to be over a decade of not watching them. I'm in no hurry to rewatch them, but if the rumors of a fourth movie are true I don't think it would be the end of the world.

Yeah, I think your assessments are pretty apt. I also rewatched the first one recently, and while it is still a fun movie, the technology and edgy fashion do date it. It's not the mind-blowing movie I thought it was in high school where I could watch it on repeat over and over. i think I rented it from Blockbuster a good 10 times before my parents finally let me buy it.

Reloaded is definitely the weakest of the three. There are some cool fight scenes, and the highway chase is still pretty great, it was too much like the first one.

And Revolutions I actually think is pretty great, precisely because they spend so little time in the Matrix. They could have explained things better, I still don't understand why Neo had some powers outside of the Matrix, but it's I think a legit good movie. I never understood all the hate for it.

I'm curious to see what they're going to do with this new movie. I think they said it's neither a remake nor a sequel.

I was just thinking this, that the Thermon Mermon reveal has a special place in my cinema-loving heart for some reason. It's a relatively stupid joke but its timing in the movie, and the ridiculous nature of the kid himself just worked very well.

Bad Santa 2 was perfectly OK. It wasn't awful, but it didn't feel as novel as the original and is totally skippable.

I dunno, I thought it looked stupid when it came out, but after years of people saying it was great, I feel like I went in with a pretty open mind and it was exactly what I was expecting all along. I maybe laughed once or twice. I don't get the love for it all, maybe I'm a broke brain or something.

I marathoned The Defenders and was disappointed. It dragged a lot throughout each episode, the plot was rather nonsensical, the action and choreography sucked because they kept cutting between the heroes, it was centered largely around Danny Rand who is the least interesting and worst acted of the 4 main characters, and the antagonists were the always-boring Hand. I think comic series with more than a couple of protagonists just aren't for me.

I've never seen Making a Murderer and pretty much blocked out the cultural osmosis of it so I guess I should maybe just finally watch that.

I've burning through baskets on Hulu and I really like it. Not nearly as bleak as Louie which was just exhausting

The ads within the show are pretty annoying but at least they lampshade it I guess. Is it really that hard to get a major cable company to produce a comedy?
