Yeah, I paused it to get a good look/read of it but noticed immediately it said Milwaukee.

It's Always Sunny has been so good this season. Hard to believe it's still going strong after 11 years.

He's worn a shirt for a bar in Three Lakes WI before too. The show has gotten more and more out there the last few years, which is inevitable when you've been on this long. But the 80s ski resort episode this season was pure gold.

Yeah, I have been very happy with this season. Much better than the more or less forgettable past few seasons.

I wanted this Frank episode to go on forever, lol.

Yeah, I'm going to stop you. The acting is fantastic. The music is fantastic. The spaciousness of the show is completely parallel to the open sky and vast - breathtaking - spaciousness of New Mexico. Sol's character is soooooooo identifiable. I mean, let's be real: every a@@hole and their co-worker wants to take lots of your money to feed the hands of the corporate giants. Got internet in a city? They're going to **** you. Own a small business (like an actual small business) and think you've saved some money. They're going to **** you in the a@@. It's a matter of time. I absolutely loved season 1. I also love how we get Mike's backstory (for all the Breaking Bad viewers). We will just really really agree to disagree on this one.

Mr. Robot is amazing. Enough said.

I haven't seen 'Suits' yet though recently heard of it. I'll have to check it out. With Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu and all the other pay networks having shows now it truly is the era of TV series. Plus, you don't have to fear some nutjob disrupting your movie experience by bring his automatic weapons to your show! Am i rite?!?

My Fave Shows at the moment:

Mr. Robot
Vikings
Broad City
Dare Devil
Better Call Saul
Fargo
GOT
Silicon Valley
Sherlock

And, as an aside, it's a great time for crime dramas if you're into that thing. Like, a great time. There was Broadchurch and The Killing - both were fine examples of the genre. I recently finished The Fall with Gillian Anderson which I found engaging and quite perverse. If you're into setting and place - and, hence, mood created via these parts - there's a great Welsh crime drama on Netflix right now Hinterland. Anyhow, I've suddenly found myself liking a genre I never really spent much time in - all after 'How to Make a Murderer'.

The MIke episode and the episode where Jimmy went hunting the couple who ripped off the money were the two good episodes in season one. Mike's episode being REALLY good.

As for Suits, I thought the first season was awesome, and kinda got progressively boring and repetitive. Still a fun show, and worth it for Donna alone.

DingleJerry · Post #212 » by **DingleJerry** » Thu Feb 11, 2016 2:23 pm

I was really entertained by Better Call Saul and see where it's going and expect good things. The way I'd put my complaint is that if this was stand alone and we all didn't know about the Breaking Bad end point that most would have thought "why would I care about a story about this small timer", but since we all know where it's going it' interesting to us because they've already hooked us on those two characters.

The Frank episode last night was amazing, Sunny has really come back strong after some blah episodes the last few years. One big thing I've liked in later years is how Dennis has basically become a sociopath in his schemes

It slowed a little in the middle but last season it came back strong and the current season is pretty good. With the season revolving around Mike and Harvard, it's compelling yet still maintains some of the bubblegum.

Killing Fields has been an interesting experiment to watch unfold. They nailed the detectives to follow.

I think I'm starting to understand the plot better. I thought it was going to be Batman vs. Superman. I see that's not truly the case. So this is the set up for the Justice League?

From what I gather, Batman see's Superman as a bigger threat to the world after the destruction in Man of Steel. So Batman tries to stop him but eventually realizes he's not the real threat as other "villians" start to pop up. They then come together to fight bigger enemies with the help of Wonder Woman. Hence, Dawn of Justice in the title of the movie, referring to Justice League. There is supposedly going to be Flash, Cyborg and Aquaman cameo's or easter eggs in this movie that hint at other hero's.

It looks like it only took throwing every single action scene in the movie together to make a decent trailer. Well played WB.

The movie is likely to be around 3 hours long. I think there's going to be a lot more than what we've seen, which is hard to believe because we have seen a lot.

Deadpool was so friggin awesome. One of my fav movies in a long time. I laughed for 2 hours straight.

They make fun of everyone and everything and it's awesome. SO FRIGGIN GOOD! FUN TIMES!!!!

They took that R rating and went to town. Hell no, this is not a slightly over PG-13 movie, they took the R rating and went all the way with it and it was brilliant.

FYI there is a small post-credits scene.
