Dexter is one of the best shows to come out of the US.
Wire in the Blood one of the best from the UK.

But Game of Thrones is absolutely unmissable...

Sanity was doing those 2 for $40 deals with all the seasons 1 to 6 for Game of Thrones. I managed to collect all of them for $96 (20% off for orders over $100). Took me 2 months to watch the entire series. Then we all did the wait for season 7 to air. After that, probably 6 months for the series to come out on dvd. But then there was another 4 months to wait until the series was eligible to be part of the 2 for $40 deals Sanity had been doing since 2016.

I still await VideoEzy to bring out an ex-rental blu ray for Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

Thank you for reminding me about Dexter.

Have heard Dexter is good and I got into Game of Thrones late about Episode 6- I loved it at once- but Kit Harrison disappointed not standing up to the Queen Cersi and effectively emasculating himself-and at only 5ft 9 too short- yes height does matter- the coupling with the Dragon queen was pathetic after all the build up- the whole story went to shyt in that the pacing was way off and the finale was banal- did not really leave me wanting to see the next season - they botched it well and truly

oh come on the last ep was thrown together adhoc- why the rush- why stuff up something that important - all the elements were there for a great finale so HOW did they botch that up- knowing we had to wait so long for the next season? I decided then and there if the was the best they could do I wasnt coming back to after such a long break- talk about messed up planning and production issues-? that said i guess i will take a peek at the next season - and they should give us more than one season extra as well and have heard it will come in the form of a long movie type format- ends need tying up- Cersi has to go to go- Kit Harrison has to grow another 6 inches and the white walkers what next for them- I think season 8 should be series of eps as has come before and maybe make it an extra long feature at the end

Wow

Something different from someone who writes "What's your fav colour?" topics. She must be off the wine ...grammer and spelling still suck. Grin

I must have watched this 20 times when I was a kid.

I'll have to check Stan and Netflix for the series.

Reply #27 - Jul 8^th, 2018 at 8:42am Last night, I caught "Nightcrawler," an extremely well made movie about a sociopath who becomes a TV news video maker by turning up at horrific accidents. The script and acting are tight, and the camera work is really good. Its unlike the usual Hollywood thriller in that there is no good guy-bad guy dichotomy.

Just like big Arnie in Dah Derminatah .. Yul Brynner was type cast as the robot... always admired his willingness to go bald shaven (God bless his pointy little head) and he had a great, sharp voice and 'steamy' eyes for the ladies ...
