TV Streaming series to talk about.

I can’t imagine anyone complaining about Morena Baccarin, Juilliard trained and one of the hottest women ever.

But I think people tended to get annoyed with anything in their domestic lives that pulled attention from the main spy type action, including Brody’s wife and Carrie’s Franny custody situation.

Carrie is annoying because she is a FBI agent who fell for a guy who she correctly thought was a terrorist.
 
I watched Marty Supreme this weekend. It had its moments and I'd say I enjoyed it overall but I wasn't blown away by it. The end seemed bit contrived. Or something. I guess contrived isn't a good word to use since all art is contrived in a sense, but I didn't find it terribly satisfying.

Also (stop reading if you haven't seen the movie, although this isn't really any kind of big spoiler) was Kevin O'Leary's character really a vampire? My ears perked up when he told Marty that he was a vampire and had been born in 1601, but I didn't really take it seriously at first, then I started thinking hmmm, was he really a vampire? I asked Gemini about it and it said the way it was presented probably meant that it was metaphorical, but that the director (and O'Leary) were really pushing for him to be a real vampire, to the point that the last scene was to be Marty (in old age makeup) in the 1980's at a concert with his granddaughter, and O'Leary appears, unaged, and bites him on the neck.

Evidently the studio didn't go for that (they thought the director was trolling them with that whole story line (well, it wouldn't have actually been a storyline, but a plot point, albeit a very dramatic and out of left field plot point) and nixed the whole idea. I think I would've liked that ending better than the one they ended up with...

Yes, my daughter told me yesterday. I watched the latest episode last night. The suicidal overtones were a lot. You could feel something coming, I hope it's not that.

Probably goes better on the movies thread which could use a boost anyway.

Speaking of encounters with the main cast, my dad, along with a few other folks, was supposed to play golf with Damian Lewis while he was in Charlotte filming the show. While they were waiting on him to arrive, they got a call and were told that he had had a big night the night before was too hungover to play.

My wife’s aunt also became friendly with Patankin. He would work out at the Charlotte Jewish Community Center where she worked out, and she got to know him a little.

Mandy is a pretty nice guy, incredibly charming. He can struggle with the stress of the filming schedule. Homeland was a much better gig for him than Criminal Minds, which had a brutal 24 episode schedule (typically one hour dramas are filmed over 8 days an episode).

He once sang happy birthday to me while a teamster held me upside down.
