We started the first season of MobLand yesterday, very different from what we normally watch, but a good series so far.

You really should add NCIS to that as it seems that NCIS and NCIS: Origins is overlapping and will do so even more next week.

I've watched as much of the original NCIS as I intend to. Crossovers used to be rare and wonderful things. Now they're mostly bait.

I watched the limited series Below on Netflix. It was rather silly. It couldn't decide if it wanted to be scientific or magical realism. They also tried very hard to make the past events of one of the characters seem like ancient history when he was only in his late 40s in the present (which was explicitly identified as being 2026). The fishing/boating equipment being shown when he was 10-12 years did not jive at all with what would have been the late 80s (making him nearly 50 in the present). The Newfie affectations of the actors were atrocious as well. It seems one was only required to add an S to the end of every word and to throw in the occasional "b'y".

I agree, I watched all except the final two episodes one night. But after that I just wasn't interested in finishing it.

I'm contemplating starting Crystal Lake this weekend or saving it for my vacation next week. We still haven't decided what we're going to watch next week, usually we have a couple of things lined up. But this time it looks like we'll see what we're in the mood for at that time and which streaming services work (annoying Netflix made it difficult to use it when traveling).

I've finally gotten around to updating my NAS and my Plex server software. It's something so easily and quickly done, but it's just one of those things I keep putting off.

I don't watch much series (I don't watch any at all), but had a little stroke from the YT recommendations, one of which was about "20+ NCIS actors who died so far 2026"; I mean, besides the others too (which I recall gently), Rachael Carpani was like 45 y.o.

Tonight I rewatched The Haunting (1999). Is it a good movie. No. It doesn't even fall in the category "so bad it's good". But I find it an entertaining movie, so I rewatch it every once in a while.

I'm still on vacation this week, and I want to watch some movies. But there are so many I have on my To Watch list that it's difficult to choose. Since I wasn't able to do my annual horror movie week last week (my sister doesn't like horror) it'll probably be horror movies.

I did mentioned it early on other forum sections; if you want to put it on a watch list, this is kindly a gem (imho): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cemetery_Man

Thanks for the recommendation, it isn't available on any of my streaming services and the only dvd I can find is a German edition with no English subtitles, so I'll wait and see if one with them will pop up any time soon.

Thanks to you, to take your time to see for it; for what I can see it's on Amazon Prime; it has been dubbed in english.
Tha character of "Dellamorte Dellamore" by Tiziano Sclavi had been lately the main one of the long serie Dylan Dog (written again by Sclavi) - there are some english translations of the comic too (the bestest I can suggest are the ones drawn by Corrado Roi).

Quote:

Director Martin Scorsese called the film "one of the best Italian films of the 90s".
