Shows / movies that I dropped halfway:

• Dungeons & Dragons Honor Among Thieves
  • somehow it didn't grab me, dropped it halfway thru. Many people said it's good, but the jokes are okay, nothing interesting
• Onihei S01
  • Somehow it just doesn't manage to grab me, dropped it after second episode, especially when I read that there's not really an ending by the end of the show.

I've finished watching

• Record of Ragnarok S01
  • really loving the over-the-top fights between gods and humans. I'm excited for the next season
• Fringe S05
  • Man, Fringe is now probably my most favorite show. S05 might not hit as hard as S03 or S04, but it ties up everything nicely. The show wouldn't leave such a lasting impression on me if not for the character Walter Bishop, and of course John Noble did a great job portraying him
• Killing It S02
  • It's not as good as the first season. They focused too much on side characters that are not funny at all.
• The X-Files S02
  • X-Files gets really good on season two. The stories involving Mulder's family is really intriguing. I'm excited to watch the next season now.
• Look Around You S01
  • I've watched bits and pieces of this on YouTube. OMG, the whole season is just amazing. Every single detail is fucking hilarious.

Started / still watching

• The Simpsons S04
  • This season definitely feels better than previous ones. There's absurd humor that hits hard, e.g. rent a big brother, etc.
• Giant Robo: The Day the Earth Stood Still S01
  • Dunno how I feel about it yet. It feels too old-ish, and each episode lasts for an hour. If it doesn't pick up, I might drop it.
• Snuff Box S01
  • So far, this is another good Matt Berry show. The humor is closer to Garth Marenghi's Dark Place, and probably better than first season of Toast of London
• The Outer Limits (1995) S01
  • I've only watched the first episode, I guess it sets the tone of sci-fi twilight zone, but with bummer ending. Also the first episode is like 90 mins, bit too long
• Person of Interest S01
  • I've just watched 2 episodes, and I know that this is going to be good. I am having a crime drama fatigue, but POI is different.

So, what have you been watching last week?

In the vast expanse of the musical universe, where notes dance and melodies soar, there exists a profound language that speaks directly to the heart and soul: lyrics. Welcome to Musix Clan, where we celebrate the transformative power of words woven into the fabric of song.

In a world filled with noise and distractions, music has the remarkable ability to cut through the chaos and speak to us in ways that defy explanation. And at the heart of every unforgettable melody lies a story waiting to be told, a message longing to be heard, and an emotion yearning to be felt.

At Musix Clan, we understand the profound impact that lyrics can have on our lives. They have the power to uplift us in times of darkness, to console us in moments of sorrow, and to inspire us to reach for the stars when the world tries to hold us back. They are the threads that bind us together as a global community, transcending language and culture to unite us in a shared experience of beauty and truth.

But the magic of lyrics extends far beyond mere words on a page; it's about the stories they tell and the emotions they evoke. It's about the way they capture the essence of human experience – the triumphs, the struggles, the joys, and the sorrows – and distill them into three-minute symphonies that resonate with us on a deeply personal level.

Whether you find solace in the poignant poetry of a ballad, the defiant anthem of a rock song, or the infectious energy of a pop hit, Musix Clan is your gateway to a world of lyrical wonder. With an expansive catalog spanning genres, artists, and eras, we invite you to explore, discover, and immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of human expression through song.

Some key excerpts: >Cage is set to star in the live-action show “Noir,” which has been ordered to series at MGM+ and Amazon Prime Video. The series will debut domestically on MGM+’s linear channel followed by a global launch on Prime Video.

>Per the official logline, “Noir” will tell the story “of an aging and down on his luck private investigator (Cage) in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with his past life as the city’s one and only superhero.”

>The show hails from Oren Uziel and Steve Lightfoot, who will also serve as co-showrunners and executive producers. They developed the series with the “Into the Spider-Verse” team of Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Amy Pascal, all of whom will also executive produce. Harry Bradbeer will executive produce and direct the first two episodes.

>The role will mark the first regular television role of Cage’s career.

Over the weekend I watched the first episode of the Mel Brooks version of a Robin Hood TV series. I was surprised with how much of that first episode, alone, made it into the movie "Robin Hood: Men in Tights." There was a lot of jokes and bits that didn't really land to my modern sensibilities, but to my mid-40's self, there was a lot I still recognized in the satire and parody.

Any other early efforts in TV that are a worthwhile hunt based on how the subsequent treatments came out?

>The 1994 James Cameron film True Lies starring Arnold Schwarzenegger was recently re-released in Ultra HD 4K disc format giving viewers the opportunity to watch these classic films in unprecedented detail.

>Not only True Lies but Cameron’s The Abyss and sci-fi classic Aliens were also released on Ultra HD Blu-ray with Geoff Burdick, senior vice president of Lightstorm Entertainment, who tells The New York Times that he thinks they “look the best they’ve ever looked.”

>But not everyone agrees.

>“It just looks weird, in ways that I have difficulty describing,” the journalist Chris Person tells The Times. “It’s plasticine, smooth, embossed at the edges. Skin texture doesn’t look correct. It all looks a little unreal.”

> Watcher Entertainment's decision to move off YouTube -- and charge $6 per month for access to new series -- prompted a major backlash among fans.

I started rolling my eyes before I saw Drew Goddard's name, who apparently approached WB with his own idea. He is an incredibly gifted storyteller and I believe his passion for this world is sincere. I'm pretty excited to see what he has in mind.

Thought this might be a helpful discussion for those who want to cut down on advertising breaks when they have multiple options to watch a show or movie. Below are my results for Tubi, followed by a summary of this subject's URL, which someone tested in 2021.

My results today (3/19/24) for The Mental State (2022) https://tubitv.com/movies/100016371/the-mental-state Film length: 104 minutes. By my stopwatch, ads totaled 11m44s (approx 90s/ea), about 12 minutes between each ad break. So I spent about 10% of the time watching ads. Compare to about 6% on the 2021 survey below.

Anyone else want to watch The Mental State or something else on one of the services below and report their results?
