Magic Mike - it was a Mrs. Z choice.

Meh. People making poor life decisions. Fun for the ladies, though.

Zing 1 and I watched The Avengers. I like a mix of humor and action, so this was right up my alley. Zing 1 liked it as well.

I watched the Lemmy movie and then re-watched Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage over the weekend. Now I want to go pick up my bass and pretend I can be like Geddy Lee...I might be able to get away with Lemmy...

Gravdigr · 04-15-2013, 04:39 PM

Assuming you mean Lemmy Kilmister, doesn't he strum chords rather than playing notes and runs?

elSicomoro · 04-15-2013, 08:17 PM

Yeah, he basically plays chords. Combine that with his setup and it's a very unique sound in the bass world.

Just finished Season 1 of Brothers and Sisters. It's getting even more family melodramy but I like it. Nice diversion on Saturday afternoon.

But I wanted to say to whomever recommended it: I got The Seven Wonders of the Industrial World and I can't wait to watch it. Probably this weekend. Or hopefully anytime this week after today.

Oh heck, now I can't remember the name of it ... but it was a very dramatic documentary by National Geographic about the World's Coluimbian Exposition and the first American Serial Killer. I'm listening to the Audiobook of Devil in the White City, so it put pictures to what I'm reading.

(the documentary didn't spoil the ending for me because I read the book a couple years ago)

elSicomoro · 04-17-2013, 12:21 AM

I have Season 3 of Soap coming tomorrow. God, I love that show...

elSicomoro · 04-17-2013, 12:45 AM

Oh, I also started watching Trailer Park Boys tonight. I dig it...it's like an American trailer park with different accents.

DanaC · 04-17-2013, 02:05 AM

Ah man, Soap!

Do do do de do....do do do do. Do, do do de do...do do do do.

Sorry...that was my impression of the theme tune...was going to do the rest but the dos and des started getting confused with the das and it all fell apart.

elSicomoro · 04-17-2013, 12:40 PM

I watched the first 2 seasons online, then Netflix and Starz had their fallout last year. I decided to sub to DVDs again so...it'll be here today!

I remember watching it as a little kid and loving it. I love it even more now.

BigV · 04-17-2013, 03:40 PM

have recently watched:

Million Dollar Baby with Clint Eastwood, Hilary Swank, and Morgan Freeman. Excellent, shocking. four stars.

Valley of the Dolls because of something I'd heard about/from Roger Ebert during the news stories around his death. Patty Duke I recognized and she's short. Sharon Tate's babelicious. Next up is Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.

the multiple threads about methods of streaming and renting and owning and over the air and individual title threads ... confuses me when I'm thinking about posting about what I've been watching lately. I know, my problem, not yours. I have been watching a lot, and some of it's been pretty good, some not.

infinite monkey · 04-30-2013, 10:27 AM

Watching The Seven Wonders of the Industrial World (recommended by someone here.)

I love it.

I've watched the first 3 segments:

1) The Great Ship (the design and construction of the SS Great Eastern, in the 1850s)
2) The Brooklyn Bridge (fascinating from a diver's perspective: they had no idea about decompression sickness and called the ailments of the guys who had to go down into the caissons 'cassion disease.')
3) The Bell Rock Lighthouse (built in the early 19th century: so many seafarers died from this reef that hid just below the surface of the North Sea when the tide was up.)

So to whomever recommended it: I'm loving it! I plan to look for similar videos.
