Xfinity was doing nearly a month long Watchathon for most of the premium channels and then some - that just ended May 17th. I was able to binge quite a lot of great shows.

Not a fan of most new movies.
I really don't care for most of the newer movies. Some years back the method of acting and production changed. A lot of dialogue was like the actors we're talking very softly, like they were afraid of being over heard. They also did not enunciate, often seeming to mumble. Meanwhile, the "background music" swelled, making the dialogue even more difficult to pick up. I know my hearing is a bit diminished, but if I can pick up every word in an old movie, shouldn't I be able to pick up every word in a new movie with all the high tech mics, mixers and other production enhancements and advancements rather than have the mood music take center stage??
TCM, Comedy.tv, science, history, NATGEO and old Britcom (when I can find them) makes up the bulk of my viewing. Oh, and NHL Center Ice (when hockey stars . |

Of course I've got favorites in every decade, current years included. I like the old and the new, but the 70's I like the best. I don't care for the action adventure super hero type movies, maybe a James Bond at best would be OK. Prefer a thriller, crime drama, mystery, something like the Girl on the Train or Gone Girl, movies like those. Good buddy movies also like Sideways, I can watch that movie over and over. |

Recommendation
I know that a lot of movies on Netflix and Amazon are just not good. As a suggestion for an outstanding Series I recommend "Turn" on Netflix. It is a series dedicated to the Revolutionary War and it holds your attention and there are a number of Sessions and Episodes included. I don't agree with some of the personalities they assign to characters,
(e.g. George Washington, etc.) but overall it is a good use of time while we wait for the all clear on the virus. |
