Ternaugh Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? The first three episodes of "Galactica: 1980" and "The Wizard of Oz" on Blu-Ray. In both cases, I was able to see details that I missed when it was broadcast on TV. In only one of the cases was that a good thing.

SSgt Baloo Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? I haven't been watching a whole lot lately since I started playing the Sims 3. I did see the new American version of Top Gear, and I am delighted to say it doesn't suck. Better than not sucking, it resembles Motorweek in no way whatsoever. Yay!

csyphrett Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Slowly going through NCIS season 5. I thought the death of le gremoiulle was later in the season, but it was actually the first episode of the season. The first and second discs have no other connection to that. The team doesnt know hes dead yet. CES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireTiger Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? I've mentioned this film before (July '09), but as I've watched it again today, I wanted to give a bit more detail. Doctor Who and the Daleks (1965) -- Film with Peter Cushing as "Doctor Who" -- A revised retelling for American audiences of the seven-part serial that ran from December 1963 to February 1964, with (I think) the first appearance of the Daleks in color.

FireTiger Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? The sequel to the film mentiond in the previous post: Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. (1966) -- Peter Cushing plays the Doctor once more in a retelling of the six-part serial from 1964. When the Tenth Doctor makes a reference in the fourth series of the new shows that "someone has tried to steal the Earth before" -- this is the event he's talking about.

Michael Hopcroft Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Just finished, on the second of two nights, the Civil War epic Gettysburg. The first thing you have to know about the movie is that it is long -- about four and a half or even five hours total. It was originally planned as a miniseries for cable and released in theaters as an afterthought. That said, it's a really good movie. Its central conceit is that it deals with the stories of two men on opposite sides of the battle: Confederate general James "Pete" Longstreet and Union colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, a former college professor who commands the 20th Maine Infantry regiment. Each has major challenges to face: Chamberlain must somehow deal with a group of mutineers from another Maine regiment, while Longstreet has all the problems of commanding a corps -- including the fact that the commanding general of the army, Robert E. Lee, is not really listening to his well-founded advice. Eventually Chamberlain must hold the very edge of the Union line at a hill called Little Round Top with an under-strength regiment and no help coming, while Longstreet must command the doomed attack known to history as Pickett's Charge. Why does one man succeed and the other fail? That is the central question asked by this movie. Given the length of the film, there are many subplots, from the intellectual limits of Pickett (graduated dead last in his class at West Point), played for comic effect, to the story of Armistead and Hancock, officers who were best of friends before the war who find themselves with the agonizing prospect of facing each other in battle. then there's Buford, the Union cavalry officer whose delaying action on the first day saves the Union army. There's some very good work from Sam Elliot in the role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
