Second season of Orange is the New Black launched today.

 

Anyone else into this?

 

I have to admit to being a bit of a TV/movie-phile.  I generally buy Blu-Rays when there's a movie I want to see rather than just watching it on PPV or In-demand (I like to collect).

 

Premium TV has really been leading a creative resurgence in recent years, probably dating back to The Sopranos.  Its nice that Netflix has become a legitimate competitor for HBO (which puts out some really great shows like Sopranos, Deadwood, Boardwalk Empire, True Blood etc).

 

House of Cards was tremendous.

 

While cable channels like AMC are getting in on the act, I annoys me a bit.  The Walking Dead would be so much better on Netflix or HBO where they could truly appeal to adults (HBO passed on The Walking Dead when Thomas Jane was attached).

 

As for Orange, it took me a few episodes to get into last season but Im looking forward to banging out a few episodes tonight.

 

As an aside, for you Trekies, it was recently the 20th anniversary of the finale of TNG, one of the best Series' Finales in TV history.

i was seeing a few posts on FB, but nothing concrete about a possible that 70's show reunion.  The show debuted in august of 1998 so it's 20 year anniversary is approaching.  of the posts i saw there was quite a bit of ppl in favor of this. Is it too late to do a reunion? what decade would it be in?  i remember that 80's show being a huge flop, even tho the cast of that 70's show had nothing to do with it. 

Anything is possible thanks to Kickstarter and Netflix.

I just quickly watched a few that 80s show eps to remember why it flopped, lots of coke referencing in it.  That 90s show could work bringing back the intro of the internet, fax machines, y2k hysteria,  grunge, gangster rap white boys..ect lots of nostalgia

What people think of Tomorrowland which landed on NFLX this week?

It's ok.  I didn't think it was terrible like a lot of other people did.  Worth a watch if you ask me.

Hard to believe the teenager girl is actually 24 when they shot it.

Kinda wish it had less of a Disney feel. Maybe R it up a bit.

Geena Davis: Actress Cast in Pilot for 'The Exorcist' TV Reboot, Report Says

Davis will play Angela Rance, a woman having nightmares about a demon, Variety reports. The Fox show will be a modern reinvention of William Peter Blatty's book and William Friedkin's 1973 film

I dont know how good this will do as a TV show, unless it's like the movie Fallen with Denzel washington,  with 1 supernatural being kinda jumping from body to body and a take no **** detective and his comedic Priest partner on the hot pursuit to vanquish this evil spirit.

 

** 9 days till daredevil 2! woop woop, i started rewatching season 1 again for the refresher still a great show

Geena Davis?  Hmmmm

Anyone watching Vinyl?  Im loving it.  And where did this Juno Temple come from?  I think Im in love!

I watched the first 2 episodes of vinyl when they came out but ive been kinda slacking last 2 weeks, cuz im just drained after TWD, i get waaaay to excited on sunday evenings going on long zombie apocalypse rants with ppl on fb.  so it's been a bit on the back burner,  ive also been watching alot of the Brier so thats been taking up alot of tv time

Vinyl has steadily improved with each episode.

The last episode of The Walking Dead sort of turned me off.  I thought it was a departure for the main group in how they acted.

Along the same vein anyone notice they made The Omen into a tv show on AMC called Damien?

I actually liked the last episode it was really their first time on the offensive, they've always been the "good survivors" running into people and places like governor or termina, even the wolves recently.  

I think there;'s about 4 episodes left in the season,  it'll be interesting to see if they cross that line even further.

The Ranch looks awful. 

Not sure if I have high hopes for Lethal Weapon either.

• THE TICK IS GETTING REBOOTED AT AMAZON WITH PILOT ORDER

•  
•  
•  
• The greatest superhero the world has ever known—no, not that one. No, that guy’s lame. No, the other one. Yeah, him!—The Tick, is making his return to television at long last. After years of speculation that the series was a go with Patrick Warburton returning to star, Amazon has made at least part of that dream come true with a pilot order for The Tick.

As first reported by Deadline, Ben Edlund’s classic comic book character is being given “a new take.” Edlund will be back to write and executive produce (he also co-created the 1994 animated series iteration and the 2001 live-action Fox comedy). Also returning? OG executive producer Barry Josephson.

But there’s a bit of bad news to all of this: Warburton will not return to star as he’s too busy on his NBC comedy series Crowded. (Casting for the lead is currently underway so everyone dust off your best blue onesies now.) Griffin Newman has been cast as Arthur Everest, his schizophrenic best friend, with Valorie Curry set to play Arthur’s sister/nurse, Dot.

According to Deadline, the new incarnation will follow the Tick as he recovers from memory loss and re-teams with his best bud Arthur to fight evil. Nerdist has reached out to Amazon for confirmation, but had yet to hear back at the time of publication.

 

I'll admit I watched the tick a little towards the end of my saturday morning days, came on right before I had to go bowling. However I dont think I'd have much interest in this but what I do find interesting is Warburton (david puddy on seinfeld, actual voice of the tick, and was recently in tick costume in Ted 2),  will not be involved in this.

I didn't see Letterkenny mentioned yet... It's a Canadian sitcom based in small town Ontario. This show is full of laugh out loud moments. The cold open speaks for itself. As far as I know it's only available on Crave right now.

It's pretty funny, but I just find it a bit hard to keep up with some of the stuff they're shooting at each other.  Those guys talk so fast.
