The "did you know this streams on Netflix?" thread

I was going to say that he can also play a casino president but then I learned that Josh Duhamel and Timothy Olyphant Are Not the Same Person.

Good article.

I guess DILF is a thing now.

I started watching Kingdom. It's captivating. I never could get into TWD and if I had known this was a zombie show, I wouldn't have started it. I'm glad I did.

Ha ha yep he convincingly plays a Kentucky hillbilly rogue cop or a California surfer Dad: Excellent actor, great range.

Deadwood and Justified are great. In SCD, he cracks me up.

The second season of Dark came out last Friday. The second season is better than the first, at least so far. The different time periods visited increase from three to five. Most of you don't remember this show, but it's in German. I don't know if they dub it into English or not.

If you don't mind reading subtitles, Babylon Berlin is also really good. Aside from the plot, the setting of the show during the Weimar era in Germany is very interesting.

Gotta get a few more viewings of Cool Hand Luke before it’s removed in July.

I saw that. I don't remember much from the first season; I need to find a good recap.

I haven't been able to get past episode 2:2 of Broadchurch.

In my effort to test D-hole's thesis that the final season of Mad Men was actually good, but that we had been spoiled by the last season of Breaking Bad around the same time, I started the series over. Mad Men 4:7 (the Suitcase) may be some of the best TV ever produced.

Having finished the second half of the final season recently, I maintain my position. However, the first half is much better than the second half. And the last couple eps are some of the weakest of the entire series. But way way waaaaaaay too much Joan (ugh) in the second half of season 7. Like seriously, IDGAF about the fact that the woman who has outwardly used sex as a weapon for advancement is life is now suddenly upset that she's the object of unwanted affection/obsession. But I suppose i'm in the minority here, because I don't count Joan as among the 15 most attractive women in the series, so I never really fell prey to her character's supposed allure.

Interesting. She's top 3 in my book. Betty and Trudy going 1,2, respectively.

I always felt sorry for Joan.

I was able to kind of piece things back together by the end of the first episode. I also went to some wiki page but it spoiled something that occurs, I believe, around the fifth episode -- I didn't need to refer to the wiki page. You may just want to read short episode recaps from the first season. The important thing is remembering which characters come from which family and who is married to each other.

They go back to 1921, so one of the characters who is old in 1986/87 is shown as a child in 1921. Then at least one of the child characters in 2019/20 is an adult in 2052/53. It's an interesting spin on the old time travel trope -- basically you can't pick a specific date to go back/forward to -- all the time cycles are happening simultaneously and you can only skip to the exact same point in time in 33 year increments, e.g. April 15, 1986 at 10:30 AM to April 15, 2019 at 10:30 AM.

Trudy is my clear #1. Sylvia Rosen is my definite #2.

After seeing Hot Tub Time Machine, Megan is the runaway winner in the boob category. We're talking Secretariat at the Belmont number of lengths here.

I liked the finale, but overall agree with your assessment, especially of Joan.

There is an old Greek story you should check out, you would probably like it. I can't recall the name, something like Edisapus.

First time through I was indifferent to Joan, the second time through I liked her much less (and strangely Betty more). The storyline that annoyed me the most was when she votes to oust Don after he "cost her a lot of money". This came shortly after DD was the only one who didn't want to pimp her out to Jaguar. All the others, and most importantly Joan herself was willing to use sex to become a partner. Seemed strange to side with Roger and Pete against the only person who didn't constantly objectify her, even when she was "just a secretary"

Oedipus Rex? Hated it! Strange comment though.

Different strokes for different folks, I guess. S&M Don is not my favorite version of Dick Whitman.
