What did you watch this week snowflake? (01/13-01/19)

Not seen any of your ones.

Only Fools and Horses (1981) 10/10
"Comedy that follows two brothers from London's rough Peckham estate as they wheel and deal through a number of dodgy deals as they search for the big score that'll make them millionaires"
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0081912/?ref=m_nv_sr_1

'Snowflake' lol!
Bro, you are too much😉

I did not see yours, sorry

I saw:

Drive (11) a rewatch, I love this movie so much
The head busting violence in the elevator required some communication between Nicholas Winding Refn and Gaspar Noe...evidentally it is difficult to make a head break apart on film convincingly and Noe filmed it very well in Irreversible...Refn could have called Tom Savini who created the amazing shotgun vs. face FX in Maniac (80) but what do I know..?
(10/10) excellent thriller on Netflix

The Fantasist (86)
A very hot Irish lady gets involved with crazy neighbors, a perverted phone caller and a local serial killer
There is also some sexy nudity...somehow it was all very stupid and boring!
(4/10) Amazon Prime

The Touch of Satan (71)
Awful...When I found this streaming I thought 'ooh, a 70s drive-in horror I've never heard of..?' I was compelled to watch it!
I am starting to realize why some movies are completely forgotten!
Sheesh:/
(1/10) Amazon Prime

The Conjuring (13)
Wilson and Farmiga are great in this not very scary movie
(6/10) Netflix

Escape at Dannemora (18)
Hells bells what a series!
Cast, music, script...this show was amazing
hownos mentioned it so it went on my watchlist
(10/10) all day Amigo! Showtime btw

Mindhunter (17)
Great series about the FBI and the really horrible murderers they chase after
I have a few episodes left but I'm loving it (it is a bit 'dark' though...some of the creeps the Feds investigate are really nasty bastards!)
(10/10 so far) Netflix

See you around Hombre👍

Barabbas (1961) - Barabbas, the criminal that Pontius Pilate induced the populace to vote to set free, so that Christ could be crucified, is haunted by the image of Jesus for the rest of his life. Solid performance by Anthony Quinn in the lead role. A strange scene when Lazarus make a cameo performance. These movies are never historically accurate but I do love the times and the Roman sets. 7.5/10

Demetrius and the Gladiators (1954) - In 1st century Rome, Christian slave Demetrius is sent to fight in the gladiatorial arena and Emperor Caligula seeks Jesus' robe for its supposedly magical powers. This is better than I remember. One of Victor Mature's better performances. Jay Robinson steals the show as Caligula. Susan Hayward is pretty but not the vixen type as portrayed. Michael Rennie as Peter is also good. This is a sequel to the robe and worth the watch. 7/10

Spartacus (1960) (movie): The slave Spartacus leads a violent revolt against the decadent Roman Republic. A wonderful Roman Republic movie. Olivier and Ustinov steals the movie from Douglas I thought. In fact I thought Douglas was the weak link. This is still a masterpiece in my opinion. Just a epic movie to get lost in. 8.5/10

Quo Vadis (1951) - Fierce Roman commander Marcus Vinicius (Robert Taylor) becomes infatuated with beautiful Christian hostage Lygia (Deborah Kerr) and begins questioning the tyrannical leadership of the despot Emperor Nero (Sir Peter Ustinov). Another great performance by Ustinov was is magnificent as Nero. Robert Taylor wasn't much of an actor and seemed very wooden. This movie had 8 Oscar nominations and made a pile of money but it fell short in the story line. 7/10

Boy Erased (2018) - The son of a Baptist preacher is forced to participate in a church-supported gay conversion program after being forcibly outed to his parents. Not much happens in this film to be honest. The Miseducation of Cameron Post is better. Not a lot if drama in this movie. Russell Crowe and Kidman are under utilized. 5.5/10

One TV series:

Luther (2019) - They wrapped up season 4 nicely with the Alice and Cornelius characters. The problem with this season was that the serial killings they were investigating seemed to be in the way and was an afterthought. I still love the character and the atmosphere of the show. 7/10

Maine Cabin Masters

American Pickers

The Karate Kid

Movies:

-Woman in the Moon (1929)
This movie by Fritz Lang definitely didn't need to last almost 3 hours. But it was funny to see the silly ideas people had back then about space travel and sci-fi.

TV Shows:

-Breaker High - marathon

-The Love Boat - marathon

-The Flying Doctors - marathon

-The New Detectives - marathon

-The Bold and the Beautiful - marathon of very old episodes

I finished bingeing The Last Kingdom and then started season 2 of The Punisher..

Finished out the season finale of Ray Donovan..

Watched a younger Woody Harrelson in The Sunchaser and Indecent Proposal ..

Wheel of Fortune

Highlights:

One contestant had the million dollar prize puzzle in her possession, proceeded to the final round, missing the last game which was "annoying buzzer", only to realize had she gotten it correct, she would have been a millionaire! Incredible! This is the second instance this incident occurred on the show in just 2 weeks. Ouch time.

Another episode saw some man named Joe, I think, answer the final puzzle, which was "fancy cupcakes", winning a coveted Mercedes vehicle! But first, he introduced us to his extended family, too long to list. Good thing you won that Mercedes, dude. You're gonna' need it.

Jeopardy!

Interesting facts:

- In tailoring, pointed folds to enhance the fabric of a garment are called these, like pointed missiles in a pub game.
What are darts?
If that was a weapon, we really would be reaping what we sow. (^_~)

- Brooke Shields asked, "You want to know what comes between me and my" Calvin Klein jeans? This:
What is nothing.
Like a game of bingo, everyone needs a free space. (^ ^)

- "You made me feel, yeah, you made me feel shiny and new... Hoo!" This way:
What is like a virgin.
looks like "Jeopardy!" is trying to be the new "Game of thrones!" (^o^)

John Presloid, big "Golden Girls" fan, dethrones Anneke Garcia's 4 day reign total of $104,497, squeaking by in a surprise third wheel victory to carve out a continuing path of his own, so far banking in a whopping haul of $37,200 in 2 days. Talk about going for the gold.

Lethal Weapon TV series:

See Sean William Scott, ex-CIA operative tough man, try to duke it out will the toughest challenge of his life, being truthful to his daughter whom he has been separated from for 12 years. Also, Damon Wayans, paranoid cop supreme, is right again as usual, suspecting foul play in a boxing foray. Can he still do the "Roger?" Scott's life is messed up, trying to get it together as a family man. Wayan's life is not, trying to be an independent loosie goosy with his.
