What did you watch in 2016?

damn accepting auto correct too soon!!

It may be that i'm too old to have read the books and therefore i have no preconceived notions and am seeing it with our 10 yr old (and through his eyes?).  Did the books lend themselves to being this theatrical, or is it just NPH?

It was pretty theatrical. I will say the Patrick Warburton scenes are very true to the books, when I read the books, I think I just imagined a much dryer tone.

I do recommend the books, it may be a "children's" series but adults could enjoy them as well. Would be a good investment in-between seasons as well as the first season is only the first 4 of 13 books.

Update after watching episode 4. Dont think NPH was the right cast of Count Olaf, hes too goofy/whimsical and not dark/creepy enough. Thats probably my biggest complaint of the series. Patrick Warburton is great though.

This may be the first instance for me where the book really has ruined the show/movie. With the Harry Potter films and others, I easily got over it and never really had a problem/compared it to the book. For whatever reason I just cant enjoy it as much as I want to. All that being said, Ill still end up watching the entire series because they keep the plot pretty true to the books.

News out of Albuquerque:  Apparently there is an old Taco Bell that has been recently mocked up to look like a Los Pollos Hermanos restaurant.


Hmmmm.....I wonder what that means.....

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.

I watch sports and a Fox Business

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.

You and me on both counts.

I won't admit to what I watch on television nowadays. It's pretty trite. The critics hate it, but well......
