What are you watching???

Watched Apocalypse Now Redux for the first time in years. Still my favorite version. (I know I’ll get an argument on that). Got me to thinking what an 80 year old Ben Willard would be like still living on that French rubber plantation.

It's okay for me, but I think nothing beats the theatrical version, not even the newer edit that Coppola made. It's just more tightly edited.
 
Last night we watched Legends of Tomorrow, Batwoman, the season finale of Titans, and the newest episode of Young Justice: Phantoms.
 
Earlier we watched this week's Nancy Drew (very good) and Doom Patrol and hubby is now comfort watching Moonbeam City (a very silly animated show from 2015).

Last night, we watched Rocketman. It's very much a "musical fantasy" and the director did some lovely things with that. It's the same director as Bohemian Rhapsody, and mucks about with the timeline in much the same ways for the sake of a coherent narrative (ah, if only life really had coherent narratives!), but the fantasy elements allowed him to do some really lovely things. Taron Egerton was AMAZING as Elton John. It was him more than anything that had me bawling my eyes out towards the end. Jamie Bell as Bernie Taupin was also fantastic. I'm glad I got to see it.

FYI, *not* for kids! Drug use, suicide attempts, and gay sex.
 
On Mondays (and weekdays that I'm on vacation) I've been going to the upstairs TV while all the daywalkers in my house are at work and binging New Girl and slowly making my way through Helstrom, MODOK, Jupiter's Legacy, Sweet Tooth, the final seasons of Black Lightning, Big Hero 6 and the Ducktales reboot, season 2 of Solar Opposites and season 4 of Clone Wars on the TV with Netflix and Disney+ set up on it.

MODOK and the most recent DuckTales are awesome - nothing like having an actual Scotsman do Scrooge! :hugegrin:

What's your opinion on Helstrom, Jupiter's Legacy, and Sweet Tooth? These are all shows we've considered watching.

I'm only 2 or 3 episodes in to each, but I'd say Helstrom is fine (about Cloak & Dagger/Runaways level of quality for an MCU comparison), Jupiter's Legacy is very interesting (though I haven't read the comics, so I'm not sure how true to them the show stays), and Sweet Tooth is great (though I have read enough of those to know that there are differences).
 
earlier tonight which was Wednesday night i watched the new Mortal Kombat movie. Its actually pretty good. the actor that stars as Kano he steals the show and Kung Lao while his role was short in the movie its the only live action movie where he's in a movie and does a cool fatality
 
watching the Spanish version of Dracula from the Dracula Legacy Collection.

From what I heard online, the Spanish version is completely different and darker than the regular U.S. dracula movie that we all know
 
We watched Prodigy last night. It's really good! Like all the best "kids" shows, it's safe for kids, but enjoyable by everyone. Gorgeous too. I could tell a lot of love was put into this.
