I'm on holiday, so I watched the sunrise at the Angkor Wat temple complex in Cambodia. Would definitely recommend.

RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Invincible Season one episode one. It's been a long while so I'm rewatching with the new seasons
Sabrina the Teenager Witch - the one from the 90s. It's super corny but my daughter loves it, so we watch an episode or two after dinner.
unfortunately wheel of time. I can't keep from wanting it to be better. I really don't get how that ip took so long for something and finally when it gets done it diverges so far from the source material.
This is on my list. I've never read the books, and I'm not generally into fantasy (other than GoT). Is it worth watching?
My feeling is if you never read the books its likely going to seem like a nice fantasy series and you likely won't miss the inconsistency due to some changes but you might if your a detailed oriented person although they skip stuff to the point were it might be noticed. Like all of a sudden folks are together or in a place and they don't go through how they got there. I do think having read the books makes it more of an issue but there is a guy who said he read the books through twice (no mean feet as there are a lot of them and each one is like a dictionary in size) and still likes it so I guess to each his own. That further being said my wife does not like it and she never read any of the books and loved the lord of the rings (which she had also never read). She won't even watch it with me after season one although I don't really encourage it since I watch and then complain about it to her.
That's really good guidance thanks, I'll deffo give it a whirl
I'll admit that I like it. Having read the series twice. I don't care that they've gone off the rails a bit. The production is as good as we could have asked for and it's more or less telling the same story.
You did better than me, I firmly gave up on it by the end of season one.
Well, I am actually watching a lot of stuff, but in a nutshell:
I carched up with Severance and Invincible.
I am at several episodes to finish Mr Robot third season.
I am slowly advancing through Cardcaptor Sakura anime and plan to start to watch the new DareDevil show.
I don't care what anyone says, the season end of Invincible was extremely well done.
I just started watching Parks and Rec for the first time. Just started season 2
Ate a gummy and watched Prey, that was something
All in all, a slow week for watching, but a busy one in every other way
Season 2 is loads better IMO they stopped trying to be the office.
That's what I've heard, the spouse and I are giving season two a chance.
I will say in season 1 Leslie says her mom is as pretty as Margaret Thatcher and goddamn i belly laughed for a couple minutes on that one
Ha! I'm British so totally approve of that joke
- Law & Order SVU and NCIS on OTA TV (antenna)
- Mythbusters on Pluto
- C-SPAN website video for the shenanigans--
My group of friends watched the new episode of Severance. We got more questions than answers lol.
Yeah, this is the Severance experience, I just hope they answer all the questions at the end, I don't want to experience
spoiler
Lost
Again.
This is my fear since the start of season 2.
CopLand (1997) - An iconic cast doing what they do best. Stallone as Sheriff Freddy was fantastic.
The Drop (2014) - The late, great James Gandolfini supporting Tom Hardy in a well thought out gangster drama.
Oblivion (2013) - Tom Cruise plays a drone technician in a post-alien-invasion Earth. Olga Kurylenko is the most beautiful woman. Entertaining.
The Ghost and Mrs Muir (1947) - A feel-good ghost story about dying alone (somehow).
Prisoners (2013) - Hugh Jackman and Terrance Howard have a real rough week, with Jake Gyllenhaal giving a masterclass as the blinking detective.
Prisoners of the Ghostland (2021) - Nicholas Cage gets his balls blown off because he thought about having sex with a woman whose chin could beat Jay Leno's in thumb wrestling. Movie was and hour and a half too long (runtime 1.43)
You win best summary award
A++
Started watching The Orville this week.
Watching Laverne & Shirley right now with my brother
Just started Deli Boys. Very funny.
Agree! It’s refreshing
I've not heard of that, what kind of humour is it?
I actually don't agree with @socsa@piefed.social. It deals with relatively dark subject matter (drugs and murder—no sexual violence or anything like that), but I find it does it in a rather flippant way, and feels like quite an easy watch in the way Parks & Rec or Brooklyn Nine Nine were easy watches.
The basic premise is two Pakistani-American brothers' father dies, and they discover he was a big-time mob boss dealing in drugs. One of the brothers is a bit of a drop kick, spending his days getting high. The other is very uptight and straight-laced, and wanted to follow in his father's footsteps...or what he thought were his footsteps running a large deli empire. The two of them end up selected as co-"CEOs" of the drug business because they get chosen as a compromise between the two actual mobsters who were competing to be next leader. In the middle of all this, an FBI agent is trying to pin them with their connections to illegal drugs. But the FBI agent's boss is a Gilderoy Lockhart type (if you're familiar with Harry Potter) full of himself but actually totally incompetent.
It's quite silly and absurd situational comedy, IMO.
Sounds like it's a bit of lots of things thanks 😊
Very dark
The Last of Us. I finished the first game this week so started the series, it's pretty good. Easy 9/10
I've just started sugar on apple which I like. It's got Colin Farrel in it and it's easy watching, kinda film noir style. I've just given up netflix so I finished girls5eva and bojack, both of which I really like.
I'm binge watching all three seasons of Log Horizon. And already in the third one. Fuck, I forgot how fun that anime series was.
Does the log ever reach the sun?!
It depends on the amount of errors and if you used the -verbose option.
Watched all six Scream movies. Was really quite fun!
That sounds like a scream.
...I'll show myself out.
Haha thanks dad!
I... guess I didn't watch anything. My kids tend to monopoloze the TV
Call The Midwife!
And A Street Cat Named Bob. Very uplifting
I tried watching a movie from the '60s about the Algerian anti-colonialist story, but the flatform clapped out. Which is a shame because I was really getting into it.
We just finished watching Dragon Ball Z Kai and are now on YuYu Hakusho.
I'd been meaning to watch Severance since season one came out, and I guess the viral marketing finally got to me so I binged it.
Season one is awesome. Season two is ehhhhhh. We'll see if season two can pull it together in the last episode.
I will say, much like Bob Odenkirk in Better Call Saul, I appreciate that Adam Scott and Zach Cherry were given a chances in more serious roles, because they both kill it. Although I found Irving and Dylan to be much more interesting characters, as their stories just appealed to me more for whatever reason.
Completely agree about season two. It's been a bit of disappointment so far
Finished every season of Dexter.
- Dexter (8 seasons)
- Dexter New Blood (1 season)
- Dexter Original Sin (1 season)
Awaiting for the newest season, Resurrection.
Currently trying out SweetPea but it just seems not for me. Have watched 2 episodes but can’t really get into it. I will probably watch Jackal or Shogun instead.
Omelette du fromage?
Pamfir, Wild Men, See How They Run and Last Night in Soho.
