Watched Blackfish. I then read Seaworld's response.

Just highlights the power of film and how statements can be presented as 'facts' and, when put together with random film clips, can give totally false impressions.

As with most things in life, its good to hear both sides and understand opposing views before jumping to conclusions one way or another.

All I would say is don't watch one without reading the other.



Chickenboy -> RE: What program/film/documentary are you watching now? (8/2/2015 5:48:53 PM)

Good point, warspite1. Particularly worth noting that both sides have an ideology to defend and 'document' in any way they can. Sometimes these expose style 'documentaries' are little more than a bully pulpit and / or propaganda campaign cleverly disguised as a documentary. That approach is pretty brazenly biased to begin with.

Just finished watching the "Civil War" Kenneth Burns documentary. So very good.

Episode 1 - so far so good. A real hard-edged cop show. I expected to have no idea what is going on - and sure enough, after one episode, I don't! [:D]
warspite1

Episode 2 watched.... even less of a clue what on earth they are talking about.. absolutely no clue [X(]

warspite1

Series 2 of True Detective is seriously getting into gear. Really pleased I stuck with it. If anyone likes cop shows True Detective 1 and 2 are great examples of the genre.

Coronation Street! [8D]

When we were in Manchester earlier this week we went to the old Coronation Street set to see where the world's longest running soap was filmed until 2013.

Great tour, well worth going to see (if you are a fan [:)])

"The Roosevelts: an intimate portrait"

A Ken Burns documentary about Teddy Roosevel, Franklin Roosevelts & Eleanor Roosevelt. The usual Ken Burns hallmarks of decent archival footage, interesting experts, and detailed facts backed up by the music of the times.

Just purchased on DVD one of the best series the BBC ever did; Seven Wonders of the Industrial World. This seven part series was shown back in 2003 or 4 and was incredibly interesting. The genius was in telling the stories - always a mix of triumph and tragedy - in a way that the ordinary layman i.e. numptys like me, can understand. The episodes covered the building of :

The Brooklyn Bridge
Bell Rock Lighthouse
Hoover Dam
The Panama Canal
The London Sewerage system
The Great Eastern
The Transcontinental Railway



I finally got around to watch all the episodes of this series.

All episodes were interesting although I still question whether all objects really classify as one out of seven "wonders".

And I agree with my friend, The Honourable Lord Warspite1, that the Bell Rock Lighthouse episode was the best episode.

The series is available on Netflix so many should have easy access to it.

....and especially Disney Pixar's Inside Out - check out the trailer for this one - a very, very clever idea [&o].

Going to take my little cruisers to see this tomorrow - can't wait! [:)]

warspite1

Well worth the wait! This film is as good as expected and strongly recommended. Very clever idea and, in places, laugh out loud funny.

Great stuff Disney Pixar once again [&o]

warspite1

No one else seen this?

warspite1

Apparently not.... how strange.


Not so strange, when considering that Inside Out have its premiere today. [:D]

Downton Abbey, Season Five.

Season five has been somewhat disappointing. It is still a good show but it is not as good as the previous seasons.



Chickenboy -> RE: What program/film/documentary are you watching now? (9/1/2015 6:08:07 PM)

Watched "Kingsmen" with Mrs. Chickenboy this weekend. I say-what a jolly good movie. Thoroughly enjoyed. [8D]

Didn't know a thing about it, just that it came with good reviews. I'm often pleasantly surprised by such films.

Say "Birdman" the week before. Still not sure what to make of that. Its multiple Academy Awards were probably a bit of an overreach, IMO.



Orm -> RE: What program/film/documentary are you watching now? (9/1/2015 6:17:29 PM)

I'll try and see Kingsmen then.

Did anyone ever watch Mad Men? I am taking the opportunity of watching the series from the beginning. Hope it's worth it.

Mrs. Chickenboy is a real fan. I thought the sets, costumes and general ambience were top notch. However, I could not identify with or think well of any of the characters as protagonists. Draper is too irredeemable to be interesting or a sympathetic character. My interest started waning in season 3 or 4. Haven't seen much since. Nothing much in the final season(s).

I'll reverse your question to hear from those that have watched "Walking Dead" or "House of Cards". Both of these are on our "short list" to binge watch and we've not seen anything from either series at all. Where to start?

I was disappointed by season 5 so I hope that the final season is a improvement.

Please get back to me on your thoughts on mad Men. I've pondered on watching it but now I will let you be the judge if it is worth it. [:)]

I just completed watching series one of Narcos. [&o][:)] I found it captivating and watched the entire season in three days.

Now it will be an eternity before Netflix has made season two. [:(]

I haven't watched any yet (4 episodes waiting). Nor Black Sails (apart from the first episode). I just can't get the time/enthusiasm. Did watch the first in the series 'Last Days of the Nazis' - first episode was good so definitely sticking with that [:)]

SPOILER ALERT

Doctor Who was back last night and straight into gear. Good episode (first of a two-parter) and Clara Oswald was in the thick of the action - albeit she got exterminated by the Daleks....
