What are you watching???

I didn't know where else to put this, but this is an article praising Blindspot. One point it made that I wanted to get your opinion on is that shows which are procedurals but end up being something more (Person of Interest, Limitless) will lose a lot of viewers who are expecting NCIS comfort food, while failing to attract viewers who look down on procedurals because they can't see them as being anything else.
 
POI was one of my favourite shows. It started out life feeling like a cop show but it was so much more.

To tell the truth I have gone off shows like NCIS due to its predictable nature, and NCIS LA well when Deeks and Kensi got all lovey dovey and still are lovey dovey I just can't watch the show any more. NOLA is the only one I watch. And Archer just got shot in the chest. I missed the return episode.

That would be a funny episode, agent Pride is unconscious and dreaming and he's a Starship captain called Jonathan Archer :D
 
The Raven (1935 Film)

This was a decent film, and Lugosi and Karloff were great, but it took a bit too long to really get going, even at only an hour long, so I consider it only an ok movie.

Probably the only one of the Karloff/Lugosi collaborations in which Lugosi dominates.
 
The Thing from Another World (1951)

This was a ok movie. Very different from the later movie, but I expected that. It dragged a bit before the Thing showed up, and the Thing itself was fairly unimpressive, but it was an ok 50s sci fi/horror movie. If it wasn't for the Carpenter film it probably wouldn't be remembered as anything but one of many kind of generic space films, but as it is its decent. Worth a watch if you like similar films of the era, or are just interested to see a different adaptation of the story then was used for the later film.
 
Watching my own Halloween Horror movie mini-Marathon today, although with no real theme

Definitely watching:
Frankenstein (1932)
The Poughkeepsie Tapes (2007)
Annihilation (2018)

Watching one or a few of these if I don't get too tired:
Alien
Sphere

and a few I might substitute or throw on depending on my mood.

I just watched Skyscraper. Wasn't quite as bad as I had imagined. Bad guys motives were paper thin and lack of resolution of that.

I was hoping the contents of that drive would have been sent into the public just to see the aftermath.
 
Stephen King's It, Part II. There are some very Halloween-like scenes involved. And it is kind of scary that Jonathan Brandis is already dead. In 'It' it was Stan who committed suicide. :eek: :evil: :ouch: :ack:
