Upcoming Television Shows (and general TV chitchat)

[Jim 6,168]

Disney are following the Netflix pricing model I see. It's just £4.99 now, but eighteen months from now it'll be 7.99 for the standard package and 9.99+ for 4K on multiple devices.

Brooklyn Nine-nine renewed for Season 8 ahead of Season 7 premiere

 

Nine Nine!

[A24 5,026]

Eh ... your kind of TV show, Jay?

[Jay 45,151]

What, Brooklyn 99? It's great! 

[Sweeping Strings 3,250]

Yes, yes it is. Very funny, and Stephanie Beatriz is hotter than hellfire   . 

[A24 5,026]

 

Never heard of it but if it's NBC () then I'm very skeptical. 

[Jay 45,151]

It's a 22 minute network comedy Alex.  Not your cup of tea.

[Jim 6,168]

Well to be fair, I've never once heard Alec Remers express an interest in comedy entertainment or talk about funny movies in fifteen years of posting here.

[Jay 45,151]

Exactly.

Or film music, or John Williams.

S3 of The Crown is available today.

[FBC Director 10,740]

Yes!

Netflix buys David Fincher's new series, a prequel to Chinatown following a younger version of Jake Gittes as he first starts exploring the wealth and corruption in the Los Angeles area and navigates the worlds of land, oil and gangs

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,815]

Another prequel!

[publicist 4,650]

Hmmmhm..

Yes! Yes! Yes!

(Horrible) official poster for Netflix's The Witcher:

 

 

So far this is looking like a giant flop to capitalize on GOT's fame. It's like Eragon and the LOTR trilogy, King Solomon's Mines and Raiders of the Lost Ark, Justice League and The Avengers, Piranha and Jaws...

[Koray Savas 2,259]

Looks fine. 

[FBC Director 10,740]

Looks better than those stupid analog painted posters from the 70s and 80s.

Actually this is the best thing I've seen about the series so far. Very nice.

Mindhunter Season 3 is on Hold Until David Fincher Finishes His Next Movie

[A24 5,026]

Noooooooooooooooooooo!

[Jay 45,151]

That film just started filming a couple weeks ago

[Sweeping Strings 3,250]

In a Radio Times interview about his and Mark Gatiss' upcoming Dracula series, Steven Moffat reveals that he had a 'really good go' at trying to revive Columbo but that 'the rights are tied up really tight'. He thinks the show has 'the perfect format', apparently.    

[Jay 45,151]

Does he mean the format of knowing who the bad guy from the beginning of the episode instead of it being a mystery, and just watching to see how Columbo catches him?

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,815]

Its a wonderful idea.

And also watching to see how the murderer attempts to get away with it!

AV Club gives M. Night Shyamalan’s Servant a B+

[Edmilson 11,610]

Which is more than most of his movies got, lol.

[A24 5,026]

Only 30 minutes per episode? That means I have to watch two in a row and there are only 8 in total. 

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,815]

Why do you have to watch 2 in a row?

[A24 5,026]

Because it's only 30 minutes long. I'm used to watching TV shows that have episodes that are almost twice as long. I won't get my fill with only 30 minutes.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,815]

Aspergers?

[Koray Savas 2,259]

I have a weird thing where I like to not finish a season or show with just the finale. Need to leave at least 2 episodes to watch back-to-back to end it. 

[Jay 45,151]

Season 10 is coming next month!!

 

 

[Jay 45,151]

 

[Jim 6,168]

Oh shit

 

They don't seem to be messing about.

[Jay 45,151]

Cremeritis!

 

[Jim 6,168]

Anyone else keep accidentally liking other people's posts when they scroll down with their right thumb? I only just noticed I'd done this to an Alexcremers comment above, god knows then though. I keep noticing that I'm doing this lately. The little heart button is poorly placed.

[Wojo 2,458]

On Facebook and Twitter, yes. But not on this forum. Clicking the heart once brings up the menu of like options. If you keep scrolling, you leave the menu without a selection and no like. Selecting the heart requires a second tap. Even a sustained hold just brings up the menu for the image file itself. 

[Jim 6,168]

I must be somehow tapping the same button twice.

 

I'm getting all fingers and thumbs in me old age!

Due to huge success, they probably have a bigger budget now.

Another new Curb preview!
