What did you watch in 2016?

[tower912]

Movies?    TV?   Hulu?   Netflix?       What did you watch when you weren't watching MU?

Favorite movies, though they are probably 2015 releases, are Deadpool and Kingsmen.     Enjoyed Rogue 1 and Fantastic Beasts, but honestly, with a 10 year old, going to see a really interesting, non-blockbuster/animated movie in a theater is a far too rare treat.   GoT is appointment TV.   Beyond that, meh.

iZombie is a great show if you havent seen it yet. Im a fan of The Crown and Stranger Things as well.

[Lennys Tap]

Just started watching The Crown.

Bad year for movies. Haven't seen Silence, Moonlight or Manchester By The Sea yet, but a few I liked were Hell or High Water, Sing Street and Deadpool.

Liked Deadpool at the theater, saw it again recently on HBO and didn't stand up to re-watching.

One annoying thing.  I saw Allied, the WW2 story with Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard over Thanksgiving break.  All the commercials and previews make a big deal of the fact that Marion Cotillard is a suspected Nazi spy, but the reveal of that fact in the movie is more than halfway in and was designed to be the big plot twist of the movie.  It is an entirely different (and probably better) movie if you didn't know that twist was coming going in, but I doubt there was anybody watching that movie that didn't know it was coming.  Why would they do that?

Don't watch much regular television other than sports, but I liked two new shows on NBC of all places.  The Good Place and Timeless were fun, easy watches.  I am watching People of Earth and that is pretty good.

Game 7 of the World Series....and I'm a Yankee Fan.

Fantastic Beasts was much funner that I thought it might be.  I enjoyed very much, but like tower said seeing it with my kids probably enhanced that.
I say the same for Dr. Strange.  Thought I just had to see since I'm hooked on Marvel, but I enjoyed way more than anticipated.  Captain America III, too.
Stranger Things was definitely a treat. 
Timeless I'm enjoying.  My 13 year old insisted we DVR the show and glad I did and it's been a very fun family watch so far.  How to not change history and the consequence's if you do.
I keep thinking this is the year they find the treasure on The Curse of Oak Island.

The Crown and Rogue 1 are on the will watch list.

Deadpool is a 2016 release.  It's up for a couple Golden Globes next month.

Went through my iTunes history... purchased 35 movies this year (though 10 were part of a 10-year anniversary bundle), excluding the kids' movies, the only 2016 releases I bought for myself were Deadpool, The Nice Guys, X-Men, and Star Trek.  Only movies I saw in the theater (again, excluding the kids' genre), were the latter two and Suicide Squad.

Agree that 2016 sucked for (non-kids) movies.  Deadpool and Mascots were better than expected, but everything else seemed like a disappointment.  Granted, Lobster, Sausage Party, Birth of a Nation, F.F. Jenkins and Rogue One are still on my list... but it seems at least one of those would need to be on par with Godfather II to bring 2016 up to a decent standard overall.

As far as TV, I started watching (and caught up to present on) Archer, Rick and Morty, and Last Man on Earth.  Stayed current with South Park and Brooklyn Nine-Nine.  Watched most of the OITNB in pieces over my wife's shoulder as she started and caught up to present.

Anthropoid, thought this was a great movie.


Also recently saw Nerve, which was entertaining as well.

OJ Doc on ESPN was incredible. I'm not a binge watch guy, but I did on that one.

As I get older, I'm finding I want to watch tv far less than ever.

I'm the opposite. I watch fewer movies than I ever have. The best writing is on TV now - mostly cable networks and British stuff.

BBC is great. They love their TV over here.

Two things not mentioned, props to Benny on Rick and Morty especially.

Finally watched True Detective Season 2. Why did this get crapped on so bad? It was really good, not Rust Cohle good, but it's GOOD. Some of the best noir ever.

Sicario, is that 2015 too?

I'm behind a year, nevermind

I agree. I was definitely in the minority when it was discussed on Scoop.

If it was called anything but TD2, they've killed the Golden Globes.

Vince Vaughn was incredible.

I've been thinking about getting Amazon Prime just to watch this show.  I'm leaning more towards yes now.

Season one was very well done -- i am looking forward to taking some of season 2 in over the holidays.

Truthfully with the free shipping, prime is a real great benefit - has greatly cut down my trips to the big box stores (which I hate)
