Season 1 finale of Sledge Hammer, when they figured it would be a series finale.

It got picked up for Season 2.

I actually saw Molly's Game and it was a good movie. Jessica Chastain is a really good actress (a protégé of Robin Williams, and who helped her in Julliard College).
I'm also looking forward to the Incredibles (the first film was so much fun).

But, for the most part, not much else excites me. Truthfully, I didn't go over the whole list. Maybe later.

Wow! I totally forgot about that until you posted the link but then I remembered how it ended before it even happened. I just checked IMDB and you're right... there were 2 seasons???? I watched that with my brothers and my old man when we were little kids and I remember being pissed off that there was never a continuation to the "to be continued?".

You know if that was ever released on DVD? I'm going to have to watch that again and see the 2nd season for the first time. :)

The only thing I really remember about the show was when somebody lit up a smoke after being told there was no smoking in the police station and Hammer shot the smoke out of his mouth. The girl said "wow, nice shot!". And Hammer replied something like "Nah... it pulled a little to the right. I was aiming for his head". lol

Here is Rotten Tomatoes lists of the best of the best and I wouldn't watch 90% of it if you tied me to a chair and taped my eyes open.

I've never even heard of 99% of the movies that are on it's current
"Fresh" list. Not that the "fresh" list is indicative of real reviews, anyway.

How does one even begin to wade through everything that is made these days??? There may be something amazing out there and you'll never even know.

Personally, Wishy, I just let my brother and my Dad tell me what they like. We usually have a really close agreement on what is good and what isn't, so for the rare time I do watch something they recommend and don't enjoy it, there are a lot more hits. I also watch quite a few people on youtube that I've gotten some good ideas from. For instance, I never would have even heard about Welcome to Me, starring Kristen Wigg without youtube, and I though I don't know exactly if I even liked it all that much it was a completely unique experience, it made me think about it still days after I saw it, and it's not the same old schlock that Hollywood pumps out.

I know that you and I don't see eye to eye on much, but I do have a few recommendations for you. You might not agree with me on just how fantastic they are, but I don't see any way you could watch them and not enjoy them.

The first is the movie Ink, from 2009.

The second is the TV show Black Mirror that was originally a 3 episode per season show that nobody knew about from the UK, and Netflix picked up last year and made a phenomonal 7 episode 3rd season. I haven't watched them yet, but they just put out a 4th season in the last month or so.

It's like The Twilight Zone and/or The Outer Limits, but it's especially scary because it deals with technology we either already have or we very likely will have someday soon.

Ink is my all time favorite movie. I wouldn't say that Black Mirror is my all time favorite TV show since there have just been so many great ones in the last decade or so, but it is my favorite current TV show.

I hope you see them someday and dont' let the fact that I recommended them turn you off to it. I'd actually love to hear what you think about them. My only recommendation if you want to see them though is to go into them completely blind. They're just so good that you wouldn't want to ruin the experience with spoilers.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

I'm guessing you missed it, but there was a thread about Black Mirror where half of the people here were saying they've seen it??

...I HAVE seen the new season. Twice. I'm sure a lot of us here have. Yeah, it's good.

And I don't watch movies where you have to "save the kid", "save the wife", but thanks anyway. Anything that plays into the "white knight" delusion makes me nauseous.

Wife was dead before the movie started. Saving the kid was really just happenstance. It was a story about saving one's self.

Maybe if you ever try it someday. It might appeal to you more. At the very least, you could watch it now and maybe learn a thing or two. It's sci-fi heavy, which would probably keep you at least mildly interested until the end.

But no... keep watching your Marvel Hollywood schlock that you claim you hate but keep paying to go see. I heard somewhere that Rotten Tomatoes has a whole list of great suggestions for you to watch in 2018.

I guess Extinction was originally slated for release last month.

And Gary Werntz is playing a Judge in On The Basis Of Sex.
