What are you watching?

[sirjim73]

I purchased and watched Hundreds of Beavers for US$1 (Amazon Prime, digital). I've never had so much fun in my life for US$1!

On Sunday I watched Billy Crystal's City Slickers. Would you believe it's the first time I watched it? While I was expecting just a silly buddy comedy it genuinely surprised me with the depth of its themes and how expertly filmed the movie is.

And of the performances, we all know about Jack Palance's Oscar-winning turn (and meme worthy moment at the ceremony, when no such thing existed) but I could totally argue for Daniel Stern or Bruno Kirby's (RIP).

This is now one of my top comedies (I also enjoy When Harry met Sally very much).

Good job you had Sleep before It. As I bet you had none afterwards

It was more funny than it was scary.

How did you find it?

How did you find it?

I wasn't feeling great yesterday and fell asleep so I need to rewatch the middle third of the movie. And probably the end again as I think I was still dozing off.

How did you find it?

So apparently after rewatching the end, I missed quite a bit more than I thought I did so I'm glad I finished it properly.

I'd like to rate it higher as it's incredibly well done visually but it's just not my kind of movie.

7.5/10

I'm glad you told me before I ended up watching it myself. My favorite genres are comedy and suspense.

So just because I enjoyed it but didn't love it, you aren't even going to watch it?

The wife and I have been watching the MAX TV show "The Pitt". I generally do not like TV shows based in hospitals, but I am really enjoying this one. They take a "24" approach where each episode is an hour of the shift they are working.

My wife has worked in a hospital for over 25 years. She has said that the most accurate hospital based television show is Scrubs.

Has she ever watched Green Wing?

 

[TB]

Has she ever watched Green Wing?

She has not. At this point, if a show has anything medical in it, she picking it apart so the last thing she do is choose to watch a show set in a hospital. Even if it is a comedy.

She is occasionally surprised when something is shown and it's done correctly.

@TB I'll watch it sometime in the future. So, what are some good comedies to watch from the past year or two. I'll look online and see what I can find decent and not violent. I'm not a fan of horror movies.
