live coverage of the US Open (Djokovic - Bautista Agut)

Longmire is back, via Netflex, this Thursday. Yay.

Why the fuck am i watching Dharma and Greg?? Why?

Because Dharma is cute?

Sure that is definitely part of it. I also am a deadhead so i have an affinity with the dad, indeed my momz used to joke that i would grow up to be him. The funniest character is Ed Montgomery

binged on homeland season 4.

paranoia-fest.

By sheer coincidence i just watched a few hours of this show for the first time. While it confirmed my long time suspicions that Claire Dannes can NOT act for shit, i found it a decent enough show to watch three episodes albeit strikingly cliched

We've got Homeland Season 4 on its way from Neflix. Yay.

The opener of Longmire's new season SUCKED, but the following episodes have been great.

Claire, Claire, Claire... I have such a dirty ol' man crush on you. You are my 90s sweetheart and you always will be.

<3. Sigh...

The Gamechangers
 

Tonight on BBC 2 at 21:00 Western European Summer Time (22:00
Central European Summer Time)

The Gamechangers

This 90-minute factual drama goes behind the scenes of the hit video
game Grand Theft Auto, arguably the greatest British coding success
since Bletchley Park.

In autumn 2013, the game's latest iteration - GTA: V - earned $1bn in
just three days, becoming the fastest-selling entertainment product in
history. But this drama goes back to 2002, to tell the story of a three
year period of intense controversy in the history of this iconic game's
development. It happened when two passionate men on either side of a
high-stakes cultural divide clashed. This conflict, between the creative
genius behind the game and a self-styled crusader for American
morality, escalated into a fight for the hearts, minds and freedoms of an
entire gaming generation.

The Gamechangers stars Daniel Radcliffe and Bill Paxton. It is intended
for an adult audience and is part of the BBC's Make It Digital season. It
is unauthorised by the producers of Grand Theft Auto.

 

ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT SEASON 4 -- Now that I've had a few years to get over the differences between this and the others, I can really appreciate how this fits together like a brilliant jigsaw puzzle. And like jigsaw puzzles, some patches are more interesting than others, but it's the whole that's the thing. This season is pretty mindblowing.

Plus there's a bunch of jokes I missed the first time around, like in a Buster episode when he's having an ambiguous relationship with Lucille 2--she's coming on to him for sex, he thinks she's talking about food. He gets frustrated and says, "Is this another one of those nights where nothing is as it seems and there's no creampie for dessert?"

Wow, Carrie sure turned into a hardcore coldhearted bitch. What's that about? (Opener, Season 4, Homeland)

New series of This is England. Good god is it bleak.

Curious:

DOCUMENTARY NOW - Clever, even nerdy, concept. Mediocre execution, especially considering the talent involved (Armisted, Hader, Myers). A few chuckles.

SCREAM QUEENS - Surprisingly hilarious. Ten times better than it needs to be. The dialogue is really good. Like, VEEP good. I think because it's on network TV, the profanity prohibition really spurns some smart banter.

So, the one I thought would be good wasn't so much and vice versa.

Started in on Gotham. so far so good.

constantly re-watching Trailer Park Boys....

Bad Robots

FARGO, season 2

Just finished 1st season of Game of Thrones

Couldn't get into it

GoT is not about fantasy sword and sorcery. it is more like HOuse of Cards than Conan. I like it because it explores the power dynamics in the world it creates, how some gain it, lose it, and have it taken away. Once I got over the fact that it was not going to wow me with sword and sorcery action I got into it. There are still boring parts though....
