CHAT What are you up to this evening? I’m watching a classic film

[Dennis Olson]

2001 A Space Odyssey

I saw it in its original theatrical release back in 1968. I was ten years old. That movie awakened within me a lifelong love of science fiction. I’ve been all over the universe, taken on those journeys by the greats of the genre.

 

[ainitfunny]

I'm goin through all the old Sherlock Holmes
Films. Several people played Holmes.
I've almost finished all the different versions.

 

[1911user]

I finished reading the (terrorism) book Small Ball, played with a cat, and read some news.

 

[Dystonic]

Semester is winding down. I wrote my last paper for my astronomy class tonight. And studied for my art appreciation class.

 

[Dennis Olson]

Basil Rathbone was IMO the “only true” Holmes, just like Sean Connery was the “only true” James Bond.

And I read that Rathbone only did 8 of those movies.

 

[bracketquant]

The Bridge on the River Kwai. A movie when movies were really something.

 

[Buick Electra]

Background To Danger (1943), George Raft/Sydney Greenstreet. The first 8 minutes give you insight into how the United States starts wars, even though they use the Nazi's in this one.

I watched Ice Station Zebra (1968), Ernest Borgnine/Rock Hudson/Patrick McGoohan/Jim Brown earlier today. Really enjoy that movie!

 

[OZARK]

Kinda funny
My spouse and I have watered Sherlock’s
Red claw
Voice of terror
Pearl of death
Spider Woman
Adventures of SH

Three more to go

 

[SurvivalRing]

Tonight we started the entire Lord of the Rings (extended version of Peter Jackson’s epic version) movie. We’ve got the first trilogy in a boxed dvd set, as well as the digital version on our Vudu account.

We’ll continue thru the entire set, and then watch The Hobbit trilogy. We watch the set at least three to four times a year.

 

[Profit of Doom]

I finished reading the (terrorism) book Small Ball, played with a cat, and read some news.

Your cat is a terrorist?

 

[Dennis Olson]

I have a 4K tv. 2001 was amazing on it!

 

[dioptase]

Laid up with a broken wrist, so watching a few hours of "The Resident" on Netflix, each night.

We did take a break and watched the 2010 Space Odyssey movie yesterday, though.

 

[energy_wave]

Cole the corn star. I've been following his channel for quite a while. His family has several channels now. Interesting videos on farm life growing corn and soy beans.

How To Farm: The Farm Is Projected To Lose $523,000

 

[Texican]

I have been watching all of the different Sherlock Holmes movies as time permits.

Currently watching "Fallout" which is entertaining and worth the time, but some will not have the same opinion.

Texican....

 

[BUBBAHOTEPT]

Judgement at Nuremberg, free on YouTube. However, I am pretending that these judges that were on trial are some the ones we see televised lately. Yep, it’s a stretch, but I see the same arrogance…..

2001 A Space Odyssey

I saw it in its original theatrical release back in 1968. I was ten years old. That movie awakened within me a lifelong love of science fiction. I’ve been all over the universe, taken on those journeys by the greats of the genre.

Badass movie, still after all these years...

My movie choice tonight was "The Gauntlet" (1977)... Clint Eastwood and Sondra Locke... an atypical role for Clint...

 

[Dennis Olson]

Locke and Eastwood were an item during his Dirty Harry days, and he insisted she be in all his films.

 

[auxman]

God, she looked hot in those smooth denim jeans...

I've almost finished all the different versions.

Jeremy Brett can't be beat.

 

[nomifyle]

I'm still watching reruns of all the NCIS tv shows, for I don't know how many times.

 

[Dennis Olson]

God, she looked hot in those smooth denim jeans...

All she needed was about $10,000 worth of orthodonture and some color in her face. She makes Casper look like a Somali. Now a girl that had looks and body both was Sally Field. I had a thing for Teri Garr after seeing her in Star Trek, and later in Close Encounters.

 

[Terrwyn]

I ran out of British police series so when I saw Places In The Heart with Sally Fields and a young Danny Glover had been digitally remastered I was all in for some sappy sentimentality.

Love those!!
We watched our entire set last year but I’d watch them all over again!
I think I’ve seen all 2-3 tines.

 

[Sherrynboo]

I have watched TLOTR trilogy about 3 times in as many months, great movies!
Last night I watched a light hearted comedy Last Holiday.

 

[straightstreet]

Thankfully I was asleep when Dennis started this thread last night. I don't seem to sleep much anymore. Anyone else having that issue? We had a house full of family over for dinner yesterday evening - not planned - it just worked out that way. It's a good thing I had a roast with potatoes in the crockpot and homemade yeast rolls and everyone got fed.
We don't watch alot of TV series or movies either but within this past year we did watch seasons of Murdoch Mysteries.

 

[school marm]

I am recuperating in my hotel room on Jeju Island, South Korea, after exploring Hallim Park. Tomorrow we hike Mt. Hallasan. DD1 brought me here as a surprise.

 

[ktrapper]

I saw 2001 A Space Odyssey last night on the Dish guide, after my shift ended, while I was flipping through the channels. But it was mostly over by the time I settled into my room.
I probably would have watched it. I too like like sci fi space films. For somebody who likes the wilderness and old school stuff as much I do, and really don’t like new tech, I always found it odd that I like Space Science Fiction movies as much as I do.

Any way, Im up north, helping keep the oil flowing…..my evenings for a couple more weeks.

 

[Sherrynboo]

Anyone ever watch The Quick and the Dead with Sharon Stone and Russell Crowe? Great movie!

 

[ginnie6]

DD and I have been watching E.R. at night. She loves it lol. Now if they would just stream Chicago Hope. I adored Mandy Patinkin in that.

 

[Homestyle]

I found a delightful series to stream called Heartbeat . The music is all 60's music and a lot of it. Set in the 60's in a small English village. 18 seasons. I'm on season 7.

 

[Illini Warrior]

just finished watching one of the 1980s mini-series they made back in the day >>> North and South adapted from the John Jakes series of novels .....

 

[SlipperySlope]

My uncle, the true movie lover in our family said that 2001 and Gunga Din were the 2 best movies ever made. I couldn't get through either one of them.

I did a little internet genealogy research and went to bed early. I got plenty of good rest.

 

[Old Greek]

I have been watching "Yellowstone" with Kevin Costner. Up to season 5. Pretty good. Like the scenery the best. I have always told anyone local (western Pa.) that if you are going to make one trip out west, go to Yellowstone National Park.

 

[TheGatherer]

I've enjoyed the Survivor series on British TV in the '70's

Favorite Movies... Treasure of the Sierra Madres, African Queen

 

[WalknTrot]

I was researching the movement of different maternal haplogroups before, during and after the Ice Age in Europe.
Haha...got my "23 and Me" results back.

My maternal line started off in Europe, then "wintered over" the last Ice Age on the Iberian Peninsula with the Neanderthals, but since I apparently have less Neanderthal blood than 90% of the population alive today, guessing we didn't like 'em very much. Knowing the women in my family, we may have had a good hand in their extinction.
Then after the thaw, moved back up north to the British Isles and Scandinavia.

So there ya go.

 

[naegling62]

Basil Rathbone was IMO the “only true” Holmes, just like Sean Connery was the “only true” James Bond.

And I read that Rathbone only did 8 of those movies.

Agreed, next up in the black and white era would be Ronald Howard, if he had been given a chance on the Silver Screen. His talents and portrayal were wasted on the tv series.

The Ranch house, Barn and all where they shoot is not far from where we live.
Hehe. My wife asked me if we could go there some time and see it. I said “Why? I seen it already, dont need waste my time to go” She said “When?”
“Every episode on the TV its right there”

Its in Darby, Montana

Chief Joseph Ranch, Montana Guest Ranch

A storied Montana guest ranch with Trapper Peak framing your sunsets and the Bitterroot River Valley at your doorstep. We look forward to welcoming you to the Chief Joseph Ranch.

I've been binge watching Frazier. I liked watching it years ago, but didn't appreciate the humor as much as i do now.

 

[JMG91]

Basil Rathbone was IMO the “only true” Holmes, just like Sean Connery was the “only true” James Bond.

And I read that Rathbone only did 8 of those movies.

I’m actually partial to Jeremy Brett. IMO, he was the closest to the book. Just fabulous acting.

Having a wonderful dinner made by SIL and watching via the internet as a anti Israel pro Palestine demonstration and occupation of a university building at CalPoly Humboldt in Arcata California.

Sadly two teens were swept away in the Trinity River on the reservation in Hoopa and a California Highway Patrol Helicopter was diverted from the rescue search to fly over the Cal Poly Humboldt Campus.

The university was closed for today because of the protests.
