Amazon Prime is pretty damn good and is only gonna get better I think .

What I'm most looking forward to is Nicholas Winding Refn's Too Old to Die Young show. It will capture the criminal underworld of Los Angeles and I saw some brief clips of it and it looks interesting for sure.

For those that do not know who Refn is , he directed Drive, Bronson and a bunch of other weird /entertaining films

Apparently Amazon let Refn go wild on this one. The episodes will be roughly an hour to an hour & a half . Pretty risky imo as Refs is not everyone's cup of tea. We shall see

they are spending $2 BILLION to bring LOTR to prime for 5 TV seasons.

The speculation is that they will focus on the 2nd Age and that each season might focus on a different time frame within that Age. This could work because principle characters such as Sauron, Galadriel, and Elrond are basically ageless and can provide continuity while keeping the seasons fresh with new characters.

Second Age Highlights:

Rise and Fall of Sauron
Rise and Fall of Numenor
Rise and Fall of Moria
The Forging of the Rings of Power
War of Elves and Sauron
Creation of the Ringwraiths
Founding of Gondor and Arnor
The Last Alliance of Elves and Men

Anyone a fan of the Wheel of Time books? Apparently Amazon has ordered a series of it. I'm...nervous. It doesn't seem to me that it will translate well to screen, but I guess people probably said that about Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones at one point too.

You saved the best for last...

Agreed. That’s not normally my type of show, but I loved it.

It’s really really good.

If you are in the mood for a spooky-ass movie starring a spooky-ass Joaquin Phoenix, you should check out "You Were Never Really Here".

It won a couple of awards at Cannes and it's very spooky-ass.

What is that a sequel to?
[Reply]

I don't think it's a sequel to anything. Well ... if it is, I didn't see the first one.

It's directed by the same lady who did "We Need To Talk About Kevin".

Well, I just figured there had to be a movie about him being here before there could be a movie explaining why he wasn't here. :-)

Damn good flick

Finally got around to watching Goliath. Damn good show. Season 3 is coming sometime soon.

Looks like Jack Ryan and Bosch both got renewed for two seasons, so they'll both be around at least through 2020.

Sneaky Pete has a 3rd season sometime this year.

Man in the High Castle ends after its next season.

A new series called Hanna starts tomorrow, evidently a bit different than the movie of the same name. Reviews don't look good but I'm gonna check it out anyway.

I have been watching Hanna for a few days and really like it. This is the only post I could find that mentioned the series on Amazon. I am on season 3 and highly recommend it.
