Can I gently request that the apostrophe be removed from the thread title?

Being new to this I don't know if there's any etiquette. I'm gradually coming out of a few years' heavy film watching; I still have a lot of them in queue that I want to watch/rewatch, so they are in my list alongside telly eps. There's always been series watching with my family in the...

There are computer video techy types that have been using what they term AI software to enhance SD animation (like Futurama) and live action (like ST Deep Space Nine) series and sharing them via Usenet and, naturally, bittorrent. The results are surprising already (they've been up to this for...

Bob Newhart. Growing up I watched new episodes and syndicated repeats and never tired of it. The frequent absurb/dark humour seems (to me) influential on my favourite US sitcom of the nineties, NewsRadio. ❤️

I adore that film but I've not seen it in over a decade. This prompts me to source it and pay close attention to the score. Cheers!

Timothy Spall, leading actor for Mr Turner (2014). Mr Spall is a tremendous actor, and while some of the audience not familiar with the celebrated English painter may confuse the character for the actor, Spall put %100 of his often often un-praised talent into the fantastic Mike Leigh period...

I loved Picket Fences when it aired, and enjoyed it some when re-runs were shown on the young FX in edited format with sped-up/chopped title and end credit sequences and quite poor image quality. IIRC further seasons were available for a time on hulu, with much better image quality and no...

(I admit that I haven't read the previous 11 pages of posts.) I don't know if British series have been part of the convo, but as a long-time fan of Doctor Who (1963-89) I was encouraged to watch the single series phenom called BLAKE'S SEVEN. I agreed it sounded a compelling premise, and I...

Shocking! Did he not listen to the lyrics? What did he think of "Mama, Look Sharp"?

The banter between aptly-selected pairs (or multis) of presenters can be much more entertaining than the "comic bits". Of course, sometimes they get the pairings wrong and it's a wreck. But they usually do well. I agree with what you say. Between the banter, the performances of nominated...

I think we'll discover that when seeing the film! I look forward to it.

I very rarely make such a post, especially being new to a forum. I thank you for taking the criticism gracefully. I enjoy reading many parts of the board. I am an avid film viewer, a cinéaste, doing my best to catch up on so many amazing works of art from around the world. As for home ciné...

I realise that I'm responding to a years-old post, but I just saw all of the Emmy Award links reposted, and I've not been here very long. bmasters9, that has to be one of the most asinine comments I've seen here, and I'm surprised to see it coming from a senior member. "some joker" means you...

I'm going to jump forward a decade or 2 from most of the series mentioned and share an observation that has bugged me for years now. In the early 90s, my best friend and I were obsessed with Northern Exposure. We'd swap comments and quotes frequently. I know millions of viewers in the US were...
