Never watched it during its original HBO run, but I am currently watching Treme, a show about post-Katrina New Orleans. Very interesting look at what it was like to be a local in that area.
Band of Brothers marathon.
Just finished The Wire for the first time. Sheeeeeeeeeeeet, that was a good show.Now on to Deadwood.Finishing up Homeland after that.
My wife and I are watching "Wayne" on Amazon Prime. It's about a teenage boy who has a big heart but a violent streak that gets him into trouble. He falls for a girl and they decide to go to Florida to recover a car that had been his father's.It's OK. The boy is well-acted. The girl's fine -- the fake Boston accent and her use of "teen talk" such as "whatever" seems forced. It's an easy way to waste a half-hour of TV watching but we couldn't help but think it is a fairly weak imitation of "The End of the F'n World" on Netflix. Highly recommend that one, far superior IMHO.
I agree completely. Wayne is mostly entertaining, but we are watching it as a show to fill in when we don't feel like investing a couple hours on another show on any particular night.
You might give Treme a try. Done by the same guy as The Wire.
Don't forget to follow it up with The Pacific.
Thanks for the tip. If i can squeeze it out of my free month, I'll watch it. (Cheap SOB)
Always looking for welfare. Sad!
If this was humor, it failed. Bigly.
Clint Eastwood has defamed a since-deceased reporter, depicting her in "Richard Jewell" as having slept with sources to get stories about the 1996 Olympic bombing despite no evidence that ever occurred.Warner Bros is defending Eastwood and the studio by pointing to the disclaimer that rolls with the end-of-movie credits: "The film is based on actual historical events. Dialogue and certain events and characters contained in the film were created for the purposes of dramatization."Nice. Misogyny and character assassination are always dramatically fun!
Richard Jewell is played by an actor with family origins in Milwaukee. The actor in the lead, also known for his work in I Tonya (Shaun the bodyguard --who kneecapped Kerrigan), Paul Walter Hauser is the son of Paul Hauser of Milw. Paul and I were in the same class and good friends at Milwaukee Lutheran High, Class of 75. Paul went on to be a minister in Grand Rapids where his son, the actor, was born. The actor's grandpa , also Paul Hauser was a minister for decades at a northside Milw. lutheran church. It was fun to see Paul's kid make it in the movies, but both dad and grandpa were skinny.
