Dunk and Egg series is an absolute no brainer

yup this. a million times this.

Big Little Lies was ok I guess. The only thing that made it decent was a few quick shots of Nicole Kidman's Boobs.

Actually, thinking about this a little more, I think this would be better as a series of HBO movies. The Hedge Knight, Sworn Sword, and Mystery Knight could each be a 90-120 minute movie. Then they could get different actors to play Dunk and Egg as they get older, or wait the appropriate amount of years. I don't think a series would work as well because if they tell the whole Dunk and Egg story it would span like 40 years.

Then Robert's Rebellion for a series. Would be awesome to see young Stannis, young Robert, young Neddard, middle aged Barristan, middle aged Tywin. Or maybe OG Targ invasion? Not sure which one would be better. Bob's rebellion would probably be a more guaranteed casualfan draw.

read an article about this the other day that seems on par with what y'all are saying, it all seems well reasoned

so there you go, 5 projects now, all prequels, and none of them are Dunk & Egg or Robert's Rebellion.

lucifer

im having a great time watching this show. it's network garbage, but i love it

i can't remember the last network show i liked this much

great show!

Starting this Jungle show. Preparing for the lol millenials

speaking of, for anyone who is watching this, can someone tell me what the 80 (ish) people that came there have built or accomplished?

Seems like all they do is sit around and shoot the **** and talk about all the great things there gonna do and then take a smoke break, have an argument, take a week off and travel or quit and leave in a huff

i think some of them do actual work with kids in the town. at camp some of them may have planted stuff and one day they came up with some plans with the architects.

had a good laugh at election tears. especially the girl who dropped "i'm from pennsylvania and voted green party because it always goes liberal"

DeNiro as Madoff was outstanding

ya the performances were great. I didn't like how they portrayed Ruth Madoff though. The film made it seem like she was completely ruined financially having to move in with her sister in Florida.

She was able to keep $2.5 million dollars as part of an agreement.

I would have liked to see more back story, everyone knows what happened in the end.
It was good tho.

Is there really no 12 monkeys thread?

Woke up to find 7 new episodes on my dvr, talk about xmas

How does Wizard of Lies compare to Madoff?

SyFy is running this entire season over this weekend.

You mean the TV movie? about the same but Robert De Niro much better than
Dreyfuss.

I'm Dying Up Here, Showtime's 70s era stand-up comedy drama is such a miss-fire, I'm amazed it got green-lit. IT's like a much-less successful Vinyl, if that makes sense. Some real bad writing....shame, it's got a decent cast.

twin peaks

years ago i watched the first 5 minutes of twin peaks and got pretty bored. i quit. the new twin peaks looks really good. do i have to watch the old one before i watch the new one?

i've heard the old one doesn't hold up that well over time. i'm not really that excited to try and watch it

You will not be able to follow the new season without at least watching the first season, the first 6 and last 6 of the 2nd season (you can skip the in between episodes), and Fire: Walk With Me.

The first season is about as perfect as TV gets. It's only 8 episodes long. The 2nd season has 22 episodes. FWWM is critical to understanding the new season. But you have to watch that AFTER you watch the original series, even though it's a prequel.

i didn't really understand what you said, but i guess if you say it's about as perfect as a season can be, i should at least give it more than 5 minutes. the opening credits were great! but then there was some cops doing some boring stuff and i turned it off.

i'll try again

thanks

Chicago Justice Down.

I am surprised they cancelled it, not that it didn't deserve it. For the most part it was boring and by far the worst of the 4 Chicago shows.

Fire
Med
PD
Justice

IMO.

tried like 3 episodes of that randomly on demand and agree it just didn't work. and I've watched however many hundreds of law and order episodes there are out there.

although the hot assistant girl definitely needs to be in another show. soon.

i'm friends with hot assistant girl. well, at least i used to be, til i asked her out and she said no

we were in acting class together. she is actually REALLY talented, and incredibly nice and awesome. really great girl.

i'm sure she's gonna be in tons of stuff.

i think it's probably good for her career that this show got cancelled. she is better than this show.

i emailed her just the other day. she didn't answer

also, the hot assistant girl read the miss pog thread last year
