I can no longer bring myself to make any donation the Republican Party has repeated asked me to make. Tossed out a renew my membership request just today. I've given a few bucks to the Tea Party, though.
I don't see anything I've cut and pasted above. Not sure what you mean. I do repeat things like O = 0, Liar-In-Chief, King Barry, the 2013 Lie Of The Year Winner, Bozo the Clown Biden, Princess Pelosi the Wicked Witch of the West, etc..
Speaking of cut and paste, I've been wanting to show someone my favorite allosaur video. Kinda bonded with that critter the first time I saw it. Was already calling myself allosaur at the time. I'll show it to the Gulch should I get a well-timed excuse during a conversation. Pretty sure you and I are the only ones talking on this page.

be a clown--my cousin is a clown--really--and I dress up as the pirate queen from Pirates of Penzance, used to be able to sing it too. And I am more libertarian than conservative--very disappointed with those conservatives in congress lately. did you cut and paste your above comment? i seem to remember reading it two or so days ago, before i posted. :)

Relevant, but as a real fan of the series, it left out way too much that should have been introduced through about two more seasons.

And neither my wife or I can forgive them from killing Wash.

Well, you're a blast from the past! Just like allosaur me. Only Einstein can explain the wormhole that put this conservative ole' dino in Galt's Gulch. And . . . he's dead.
Psst! Some online test I took concluded I'm a libertarian with very strong conservative leanings.
Up until then, I thought the opposite was the case. Maybe there's a clown in me trying to wiggle out of that pinch somehow.
I hope that appears complicated. It would make me feel special.

We need a very off-beat sense of humor if we are to survive--the libs have no sense of humor... Maybe those Props can be flat cardboard cutouts, to give your movie some realism! Keep it going, allosaur!

If you haven't watched any of Tom Selleck's "Jesse Stone" movies, you have a major treat ahead of you. I think there's eight of them so far, based on Robert Parker's character (which I haven't yet read.) Stone is of the "flawed hero" mold - struggling with alcoholism and a divorce from a woman he still loves - but the stories are good, Selleck's acting is outstanding, and the whole mood, though somber and often sad, is elevated to an almost poetic beauty by Jeff Beal's excellent music. Not to be missed, IMO. But it's advisable to find a series list and watch them in order, because there are references to prior events throughout.

I've been a big fan of the British series "Midsomer Murders" for years and was delighted to discover that my monthly eight bucks gets me the entire production run. John Nettles (since retired from the series,) plays the admirable and reason-dedicated detective Tom Barnaby from Carolyn Graham's books, accompanied by a succession of sidekicks (high turnover in that position for some odd reason.)

The stories are "good-not-great," but always interesting; the cast of characters is always extensive and just as interesting (it's great to see characters who are "characters," as in: people with unique personalities, vs. the cookie-cutter of "cool" that's blandified American drama for decades,) and the setting - the pastoral but upscale villages in eastern England - is like another character in itself. Intellectual "comfort food" I suppose, but good stuff, particularly if you're looking for a modern echo of Agatha Christie.

Oyeah, it's also a veritable who's-who of British acting royalty, with cameos from everyone imaginable, and often unimaginable.

The chief downside is that the producers adopted, early on, a frivolous, tongue-in-cheek attitude toward the series that occasionally manifests itself in the drama itself - the notoriously high per-episode body count for instance, that's led people to speculate that if it were a real place it would soon be uninhabited.

The sheer quantity of characters in any given episode can be daunting to keep track of too - almost to the point where you need to jot down notes (or maybe I'm just pre-Alzheimer's?) But it's a happy addiction and there's no discernible political axe being ground in any of it, unless it's an oblique lampooning of the foibles of the British upper crust.

Another I've just sampled (the first episode,) is "Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries," an Australian series about a wealthy '20s flapper who delves into detective work. Implausible and not too deep, but interesting so far.

On the recommendation of a sibling I watched "The Fall" with Gillian Anderson. It's a short police procedural about a serial murderer (five episodes to date, in a single story arc, with more in the can but not yet released.) The acting is phenomenal and the setting (Northern Ireland,) is interesting, but I'm not a big fan of heavy-malevolence serial murder stories, so by the end of episode 5 I was both annoyed that the story is unresolved but glad to be done with it. 'Caveat emptor on that one. I'm happy to report that Gillian Anderson has grown up since the X Files days though, in an excellent way. I could easily see her as Dagny Taggart, though I assume she'd be politically antagonistic to all things objectivist.

I could recommend some movies too, but I assume you're more interested in series, so I'll wrap this up 'cause it's getting lengthy.

Yeah, we often talk about his creations and if she thinks they would work in the real world. We then either try them or look them up on youtube to prove the theory.

I 85th The Prisoner!
I want to teach a class on Secret Agent, The Prisoner and The Prisoner 2, which we would write.

It's sad, really, that so few people understand my "Welcome to the Village" t-shirt!

E, watch that one. I can't wait to hear what you say about it.

The best one I ever saw on Twilight Zone was, "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge". An Oscar winning short, this is the second part of Robert Enrico's trilogy of short films, based on the Civil War stories of Ambrose Bierce. While An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge is easily the most famous (thanks to a screening on The Twilight Zone) all three films are stunning, filled with unforgettable images, and great use of sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuP5kUQr...

Ah well, looks like I'm batting 1 for 5. Or 4 for 5, depending on your pov :)

Oh god please just forget the Shyamalan movie. It was hideous. One of the last episodes of the Last Airbender TV show actually comments on the movie - the characters go to see a play about themselves and leave saying "that play was terrible" "no kidding" "but the effects were decent!"

Oh wait..sorry. Netflix... Don't know but I would think soon.

Breaking Bad - See above, and better call Saul.

Oct.

Modern Family - Definitely has moments. Like the song "Underneath the Moonlight"
House of Cards - Excellent, nails DC.
Jericho - See above
Orange is the New Black - see above

The rest I will add to the list, thank you.

When is Season 4 on Netflix!?!?!?!

MacGuyver works.
Everyone needs to know how to make a flash explosive out of bicycle paint.

I will add these to the list, thank you.

Merlin - very good, I thought Mab was excellent.
Sherlock - I saw a couple of episodes, I liked it, Joan did not.
Babylon 5 - See above
Jericho - Saw the first two episodes... slow.
Firefly & Serenity - Gee, it sure would be nice if we had some grenades!

I had my doubts on a female Starbuck too,
But she nailed it.
Kira Thrace and Her Special Destiny - Starbuck was a badass.

Battlestar Galactica - loved it.
Mad Men - Joan started it before I did. She loves it, but I won't start watching it midstream.
Orange is the New Black - See "Mad Men"
Firefly - Can quote almost verbatim.
Last Airbender - I will add to the list. Saw the Shayamalan movie, wasn't impressed. The Village was his last good movie, IMO.
