TODAY I WATCHED (Movies, TV series) 2015

Various college basketball games sandwiched around Fox Sports 1's UFC Fight Night.

EDIT: I particularly enjoyed Duke utterly destroying Notre Dame 90-60. HAHAHAHAHA!!!! (I hate Notre Dame).

"R.O.T.O.R." (1988)


The robotic lawman of the future malfunctions and goes on a killing spree, so the scientist who invented it must track it down... with the help of a female body builder with a skunk streak in her hair. Much unintentional hilarity ensues.

This awful no-budget "RoboCop"/"Terminator" wanna-be has achieved semi-legendary status in bad movie circles. The acting and dialogue are horrendous, the pacing is non-existent, and the "robot" is just a leather jacketed dude with a porn 'stache. WTF moments abound.

For best results, watch this movie while under the influence of at least a 12 pack of beer.

Last night EWTN - had "Bakhita" part one -
African Saint woman - it was very good -
Watched today Mysteries of the Bible " Two Evil Cities " ( Sodom/Ghmorah )
Hosted by Richard Kiley - Jean Simmons voice says actual scriptures -
I forget just how wicked WASP was with that song - outrageous -
No wonder Chris Holmes wiped out as hard as he did . . .

"Swamp Women" (1956)


One of Roger Corman's earliest directorial efforts, this enjoyably trashy "bad girl" movie follows four female prison escapees into the swamps of Louisiana, on a quest to recover a stash of stolen diamonds. Hot '50s chicks in short-shorts having catfights? Oh yes, Roger, you DO know what I like.

For some reason, this film was included in my "50 Horror Classics" DVD pack even though it's most definitely NOT a horror movie, it's a crime/caper flick... unless you consider attacks by rattlesnakes and rubber-alligators "horror" material.

First four episodes of Mozart in the Jungle, highly recommended for anyone into classical music.

MASH - Season 1

My annual push to get familiar with NCAAB teams prior to the tourney is on!

Today I watched Maryland get destroyed by Iowa. Also watching Rutgers vs Ohio State. Yesterday it was the Duke/Notre Dame demolition and the Kentucky vs Florida game.

I don't know why I bother really; I'd probably do better off picking teams in March Madness by who has the cooler name or uniform. I may actually let Tux pick a bracket this year by putting food on two different pieces of paper with teams facing each other on each. He'd probably do better than I do.

Modern Family
The Americans
Agent Carter

Stone cold classic!

Any good? The review I read said the Ep 1 was very slow.

Hannibal
Started Walking Dead but fell asleep. My wife told me it was a surprisingly strong ep.

The Walking Dead

Good to finally have it back

It was very good. It starts way back before Saul was even Saul Goodman. I didn't find it slow at all.

The Seventh Seal (1957)

I agree. I thought it was great. The guys I watched it with were bored, but that's them. Sort of members of the adhd crowd.

Just saw Better Call Saul and yes it was AMAZING. So glad Odenkirk is getting to shine here, he does a brilliant job and it's all so engaging.

Also saw Walking Dead, which is another story. This show is turning into a mess again. If you want a good example of how to pad a show with poor writing, look no further than this one note episode.

Zero Dark Thirty

Fantastic film

I have also now seen Better Call Saul, really good. I guess some people think it's slow because he hasn't revealed his superpowers yet
