Did The Last Panthers get a mention yet? Sundance channel....
Very good.
And once again The Night Manager.. two people I have recommended it to have described it as "best TV series they've ever seen".
http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/...v_options.html
I loved the Night Manager. Not sure if was the best, but certainly one of the prettiest. Interesting NYT article in the last couple of days about why it wasn't great, but I liked it. Jed,, the blonde.... good lord.

The Last Panthers was excellent, although depressing as fuck - fitting given the locale and subject.
The Night Manager ..... a little too pretty and predictable. Pales in comparison the the recent remake of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.
I saw that... disagreed with it almost entirely...Quote:

I need to take second late as well. I hand idea it was 4 hours.
i like tom.petty but it would take a concerted effort
I planned on only watching half and falling asleep for the night. Before I knew it was 3am
This. And I'm not really a fan. Worth a watch.Quote:

Trying out "Aquarius" with David Duchovny. A little bit of a True Detective season 2 feel...it could might maybe be good, something's missing. Only 2 episodes deep, but going to give it a few more. Anyone else into this?
7% score on Rotten Tomatoes?Quote:

I thought it had a few funny moments but was generally flat and tried too hard for easy laughs.
Quest for Fire new for July
Everett McGill as caveman gets taught fire and lovemaking skills from Rae dawn Chong
terrific flick
I enjoyed the film as well. What An interesting cast of characters, especially in the early days.m Your 'dork" comment is spot on also. And in keeping with the dork observation, the current Yosemite scene appears to be a festival of ego based douche baggery.Quote:

Pretty good if you're into that kin of thing
I'm not familiar with the Yosemite crowd, but I don't in general hold climbers in very high regard, at least not as high regard as they hold themselves. I'm glad I didn't let my prejudices of today's climbers stop me from watching and enjoying the film.Quote:
