The Incredible Hulk Returns

The Trial of The Incredible Hulk

The latter has John Rhys-Davies as Wilson Fisk aka The Kingpin.

I have those Hulk movies (and Death Of The Hulk on DVD). They are pretty bad but I was excited when they originally aired since it was my favorite show when I was a kid. They could've been much better than what they were but they seemed to avoid canon for the most part and some stuff didn't make sense. Was good to see jack Colvin in the first movie but then he just disappeared with no explanation. I know Kenneth Johnston wanted to shoot a final episode in the original run before it was canceled where McGee finally found out David was The Hulk. Banner would go on trial for the death of Elaina Marks but then be acquitted and wrap up on a happy note. Johnston was not involved with the tv movies. There were plans for one more movie "The Revenge Of The Hulk" but it was scrapped due to Bixby's declining health.

As for the last thing I watched, Mindhunter on Netflix. 2 episodes in and it is a little slow. About an FBI agent in 1977. Not a lot of gore, at least yet but has some language and nudity. I'll watch a few more episodes but if it doesn't pick up the pace I'll dump it.

The entire Scream quadrilogy.

^Nice!  All four movies are fantastic.

Don't bother with the TV show though.  It's pretty lame.  I stuck through both seasons, regrettably.  It's basically a teenie-bop soap-opera which happens to have a serial killer on the loose too.

Watched a few more episodes of Mindhunder on Netflix. I did some looking around about it and it's based on real events and real FBI agents (some of the names have been changed). Made it a little more interesting. It is slow moving but getting interesting.

I have that one saved, but haven't gotten around to starting it yet.  I'm working through all three seasons of "Badlands" on Netflix right now.  I try not to do more than two or three series at a time or I can't seem to keep up.

Same, I have several shows downloaded to watch. As for Mindhunter I went ahead and downloaded the last 5 episodes of season 1. Also downloaded one episode of that new "prank" show they are doing with the kid from Stranger Things. I watched the trailer so I figured I would give it a shot. Someone also recommended "Good Cop, Bad Cop" since I am a fan of Monk (made by the same people) and was told it was really good but haven't got around to starting yet. I think I'll finish up Mindhunter first. The criminals they interview are real people so that is making it interesting. One creepy guy walking around is a home security salesman. I won't spoil it. I figured out who he was pretty early and that's when I did some investigating to see what the show was about.

On Netflix, we are watching Alexa & Kate.  It is a fun sit-com.


At the theater yesterday, I saw The Addams Family.  This is the animated version done by Tim Burton.  My only regret in watching this is that it wasn't live action.  It felt like the two movies that hit the theaters in the 90s.

I also heard there's a Ouija board scene in TAF.  One Christian viewer and his family walked out midway through.

On viewing front:

Ant-Man
Arrow

There was, but they were trying to call a family member.  Even in the 90s movies, there were seances and such.  They are, after all, a family of monsters and killers just trying to fit in.  It's all done in a way where you KNOW that they are making fun of it.



To continue my Addams trek:

The Addams Family (1991)

http://pluto.tv is free TV online. They have a ton of channels, all free. I noticed they have an Addams Family channel with nothing but that show on 24/7.

And I never knew about this, just found it might watch it and see if it is any good

Alien Intrusion DVD.

Dumbo 2019....meh.

One more episode of Mindhunter on Netflix and I will be done with Season 2. it hasn't been renewed yet but the creator has enough stories for 5 seasons. I am really liking it. If you watch be aware there is language, some sexual content and while not violent it discusses violent crimes. Since it is based on real events one of the characters portrayed in the show says it is about 80% accurate. One thing I don't care for is the modern day swerve where they include a character who lives an "different" lifestyle if you know what I mean. but those scenes are easy to FF thru and not essential (and the character is married to a man in real life). Currently they are trying to solve the Atlanta child murders.

I recently finished watching the Chinese suspense flick Hide And Seek.  (It's a remake of a Korean movie which is supposedly better but Netflix only had the Chinese one.)  I thought it was quite good.  It gets a little over-the-top towards the end, but overall I thought it was decent and I'd recommend it.  The basic plot is a wealthy family-man's long-estranged brother goes missing and there's a mysterious person masked with a motorcycle helmet (maybe his brother, maybe not...?) committing violent acts who's somehow linked to it all.

We finally got caught up with all the previous Veronica Mars series.  Now we are done with the new 4th season on Hulu.

Patton Oswalt was such a sleazoid on VM4, wasn't he, Alldat? And Logan's end? Man...

Yeah, Logan's fate is pretty well sealed, and he won't be returning for season five should there be one.  Well, they could use him for flashbacks like they did Lilly Cain back in the early days.

I was glad to see Keith Mars without a cane at the end as well.  I just like Veronica's dad on this show.

I do wish they had used more of Mac and Wallace, though.

Oswalt was playing a sleezoid for sure.  I figured out his involvement with the bombings by episode 4.  He felt like a mix between some goofball Alex Jones conspiracy theorist and a hacker from the Anonymous group.

Season 2 of Alexa & Kate on Netflix.  It's funny and CLEAN.  Wow!  I didn't know Netflix had it in them!

Trying to catch up on Man In The High Castle on Amazon Prime. Watching Season 3 now before I start Season 4, which came out last week. It is kind of a "what if" scenario. It takes place in the 1960's and the allies lost WWII and Germany reigns over half the country with Japan ruling the west side. Interesting story so far.
