Super fascinating topic & that period in time really entices me, entertainment-wise. I'm only 3 episodes in, but I think at least some of what you mention comes up. Hitler is still alive and is actually a key figure keeping peace; and his soon-to-happen death has other characters thinking a Germany/Japan war for entire control of "America" is just a matter of time. I watch most of my TV on XBMC (now Kodi) installed on my laptop. Is Amazon streaming available in Canada? And what is XBMC...is it an "illegal" stream? Basically, I want to watch everything on my TV. How do I do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 I am surprised that a TV addict and internet addict that you are unaware of Kodi. Installs easily on any pc or Linux box and is fantastic for watching TV shows. Jimmy Pop 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taynted_Fayth Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 we have the box and xbmc on the laptop, but since rearranging limited to just the laptop for now, but an hdmi cord solves all if you wanna watch it on your big screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taynted_Fayth Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) lol its easy enough, as to your illegal question, my 11 year old asked me last weekend if it was too because they do show cam uploads from theaters..ect my explanation to him was, it's illegal to download movies and redistributing them without consent of the film company, this however is not downloading, its streaming like youtube. you are not able to obtain your own file of the torrent to burn, your basically just watching what someone with a physical copy uploaded. I believe that was the issue with all those file sharing programs like Napster,. Kazaa..ect people actually had to download their own copy of the files and some exploited it for monetary gain Edited January 27, 2016 by Taynted_Fayth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Did you know it's not legal to watch/listen to youtube videos with copyrighted music? Nearly anything on youtube could be considered illegal to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly anything on youtube could be considered illegal to watch. Im the right age to remember the uproar over file sharing and whatnot. So many bands and labels didnt get it. In Canada we pay a premium for storage (blank CD's etc) that is meant to off-set any loss from people copying music. What drives me crazy is uploading a video clip to youtube and having the music scrubbed out due to a copyright claim (GNR was awful for this, not sure if they still are).

Taynted_Fayth Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 It was ironic Metallica got so up in arms and was a major voice against this when they gained most of their popularity thru people making mix tapes of their albums and passing them around in the 80's.

Logan007 Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Watched the 2 X-Files shows. You know, I thought I was going to be irritated with this show because near the end it was just losing it's luster with me, but listening to the beginning brought back memories and the show is actually really good. Heck, it almost feels real. Taynted_Fayth and The Unknown Poster 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taynted_Fayth Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 I enjoyed early Xfiles back in it's original run, I definitely wasnt hardcore and could take it or leave it, especially towards the later seasons, but yeah that 2 part reboot was pretty good. I just hope the rest of the season doesnt start to fade like alot of shows tend to do lately, put all the effort into the launch then fizzle off as it goes.

The Unknown Poster Posted January 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 X-Files collapsed under the weight of its own mythology. Although when they brought in Robert Patrick it was sort of a resurgence for me. He's tremendous. Would love to see him cameo on the new season. They seem to have got back to basics but also they flat out explained the Alien conspiracy and everything that the previous 9 seasons taught us so there isnt that same "weight" of "what is true/what isnt true" that permeated the original. Its really good. Plus, that theme. The exact same opening, not even updated with the older actors, I love it. it really says "this is season 10" not a re-boot.

The Unknown Poster Posted February 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Last night's episode of the X-Files was brilliant. Reminds me very much of many of their classic episodes, with just a hint of self awareness to add a new twist to it (especially love Muldur's ring tone being the X-Files theme) Tonight is the People vs OJ.

The Unknown Poster Posted February 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Regarding "Making A Murderer" subject Steven Avery, he has new lawyers working on getting a new trial and they've released some interesting information. ody was not burned in burn pit bc heat would have burned down Avery's garage. A lot of junk science at the junkyard." "Culprit had to remove his own DNA from key so TH's removed in process. Rub key on Avery's clothes for skin cells. Presto." "The 22 removed from garage did not exit TH's head. State expert failed to testify bullet exited -- that 22 driven to scene." Also, the former Prosecutor (who was chased from office after a sex scandal) apparently mailed Avery imploring him to work with him (the prosecutor) on a book where Avery would confess. That guy is a dink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted February 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) Anyone else check out American Crime Story last night? i thought it was tremendous. I highly recommend the book its based on (Run of His Life), which I've read 2-3 times as its such a fascinating case. I imagine the producers are quite happy the whole Making a Murderer thing exploded as these are two sides of the same coin in some respects. OJ was a rich and powerful guy who got away with murder after accusing the cops of planting evidence they didnt plant. Steve Avery was a poor and uneducated hick who was convicted of a murder he didnt commit after accusing the cops of planting evidence that they actually did plant. Amazing. I hope they intend to keep American Crime Story going. So much great material out there. Scott Peterson. Jon Bonet. Steve Avery. There's three seasons right there. I'd love to see the Peterson case get the season long treatment. That's another fascinating case with an interesting suspect. EDIT: Looks like a second season is already planned: The Hollywood Reporter reveals in this week’s cover story that the second installment will center on Hurricane Katrina and its devastating aftermath. The working plan, according to Murphy, is to follow a group of six to eight people in an attempt to examine all sides of the tragedy, from the Superdome to the hospital to those who were put on buses and dropped off with babies who were forced to wear trash bags for multiple days. "I want this show to be a socially conscious, socially aware examination of different types of crime around the world," he said. "And in my opinion, Katrina was a f—ing crime — a crime against a lot of people who didn’t have a strong voice and we’re going to treat it as a crime. That’s what this show is all about."

Jimmy Pop Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Talk to anyone from New Orleans who was there during Katrina, and it's pretty evident MAJOR crimes were committed. I was there in 2013 and it was astounding what some of the heavily affected communities still looked like. Think 3rd world. Literally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unknown Poster Posted February 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Thanks Frosty. I like all things JfK and I heard the book was great. I didn't read it as I don't like King's book (but do like many of the film adaptations). Also it's like 12,000 pages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
