Telly Watching

TV update:

Westworld: I finished it, sort of. Seasons 1 and 2 were amazing. Alas, they left the park in 3 and 4 and it just couldn't hold my interest. I skipped a lot of 3, saw the end and went into season 4. The spark had gone and all I could manage was the finale, Qué Sera Sera. Still, seasons 1 and 2 were riveting TV.

Moebius: caught this lower ranking Marvel character in his own flick last week. I used to read Moebius, the Living Vampire as a kid. Despite good make-up as a vamp the story was thin and it looked like a side-step from the Underworld franchise.

War of the Worlds with Ice Cube. Not seen this but a 0% rating on Rotten Toms has me intrigued. Can it really be that bad?

The Sinners: my nephew recommended this. He's in his thirties so I have to add a pinch of millennial salt. There's odd and strange comments online about fake positive reviews. Anyone seen it?

What are you watching readers?

  1. As there is nothing remotely interesting on TV these days, we've been catching up on our backlog of DVDs. This week it has been classic Three Stooges and classic The Simpsons - two great comedy series. SFZ

  2. War of the Worlds with Ice Tea really is bloody awful. Oddly enough, the films tagline is "Its worse than you think" - which is actually true. Its diabolical and Wells must be spinning in his grave. Its basically Ice gurning at a pc for the entire time, while cutscenes reminiscent of Playstation 4 videos show tripods emerging in the city. Eva (I must be short of money) Longoria breathlessly intercedes with the odd newsflash, but then its back to Ice checking on his kids via surveillance cams. Appalling. Makes George Pals version look like Shakespeare. Bill
