..."The untitled sci-fi project is separate from “Prometheus 2,” which Fox is still making with Ridley Scott."

It'll take a whole sequel to fill in all the logic holes of the first one.

finished House of cards.  Season 3, good but not as good as the previous 2.  guess it is setting the ground work for the next couple of seasons

[Treading Water]

Just starting to move around after being waylaid with "the flu" for the past three and one half weeks. 

Re watched the first four seasons of Game of Thrones.  Then saw an ad for the Xfinity watch-a-thon last week.  Since I don't have Starz, I decided to try Outlander. Was sorely disappointed that it was just an adaptation of some romance novels.  And why is EVERY "heroine" only considered a strong woman when she's being a foul-mouthed jerk?

Then I noticed that the lead fellow looked quite exquisite walking away....So I watched all of it.

I blame it on fevered brain cells.   

Hoping I can make it through today without a nap.

Suspicion 1941

I think this may be my favorite of all Alfred Hitchcock movies.

Doc Martin displays some amazing Eddie Coyle personality attributes when having to deal with those annoying patients.

For the next few days, I'm watching the final season of Boardwalk Empire, season 5, and taking a break during that binge by watching Jimmy Stuart in Harvey (1950).

You're right- Eddie is our very own Doc Martin. 

I've seen 4 seasons of Boadwalk Empire and enjoyed it very much. Steve Buscemi is great in this series. I'll have to see if season 5 is available yet on Netflix.

I've also been watching Vikings... as always, they reassign characters to fit the story lines, but entertaining.

Game of Thrones seems to borrow from the War of the Roses. Another favorite.

I liked it, too. There are far worse movies in the Aliens franchise. A sequel or two for Prometheus could answer more than a few questions and open up more possibilities for future sequels, too. Were the engineers a divided civilization...one dedicated to spirit and seeding new life and the other violent and on a mission to destroy the others and all they've created? Not sure why they would care about off worlds but it would be an interesting idea.

On another note- we rented  Interstellar....Yikes! Talk about plot holes and missing logic. It has some great effects, but was all over the place with the same tired old clichés. Disappointing.

Hoffman's character in that movie is based on Robert Evans who is the subject of "The Kid Stays In The Picture". A fascinating documentary.

IMHO Prometheus was a jumbled mess but at least entertaining in some ways, whereas Interstellar was just a wholly unpleasant experience.

I really looked forward to Interstellar. What a letdown.

The Prometheus Art Book is tremendous. Flip through starts at 1:17, absolutely worth watching.

Thanks, b-dubb. I've added it to my watch list. 

Holiday (1938).  Cary and Kate.  'Nuff said.

Thanks for posting this, MFM! I really did enjoy the visual effects of the film.

     The book is worth reading as well. They could have made multiple documentaries from that book. And Joe Esterhas first few books make for a nice adjunct.

The Terrornauts (1967)

i recall seeing this film in 1967 or 1968. all i could recall of the movie were the tests given to kidnapped scientists by robots. i had searched for it off and on for years until i found it on yt this weekend. it isn't Contact, but i was pleased to see it once again.

Gone Girl 2014

[Eddie Coyle]

   CBGB(2013) is perhaps the worst music-related film I ever seen(it's on right now, that's why I'm reminded) and considering the subject, it's gallingly shallow. It has the feel of a sitcom...on UPN...15 years ago. Just horrible. Every portrayal, from The Ramones to Debbie Harry to Television is cartoonish and slight.

   Confirming yet again, that a film with Donal Logue in any capacity will suck.

True Detective made me like Matthew McConaughey. Interstellar reminded me why I didn't.

We watched The November Man and it was excellent. Ex CIA agent drawn back in by a covert assignment. USA vs. Russia. Really plausible plot- scary in a way.

I was thinking about renting that, but was on the fence.  I'll give it a shot based on your recommendation.

My wife and I watched two Christian Bale movies on Sunday night:
Exodus - Gods and Kings:  I gave it a 7 / 10.  She gave it a 4.
The Machinist:  Really weird "mind f*ck" movie - probably a 5 for both of us.
