Fun What are you watching right now?

S4 of Walking Dead, waiting for the Season 5 Preview show

 

What is a yute?

 

Second disc of the Boomtown boxed set.

 

American Graffiti.

 

The Sopranos. Perennially on the watch list, and now that it's on Prime instant I had no excuses left. Unfortunately, I'm in the target demographic and enjoy it so my review is a highly noncontroversial "It's really good."

 

The Ultimate Figher Finale on Fox Sports One

 

Penny Dreadful.

 

Television.

 

WWE RAW.

 

Working my way through "Midnight Run", that Charles Grodin is kind of a comedy genius and who knew that Danny Elfman could do a non-Batman-esque rip off and somewhat hip sounding score! Somebody take away that man's string section.

 

Local news

 

Everybody Loves Raymond.

 

The season finale of Penny Dreadful

 

The Late Show with David Letterman

 

Some sports show on ESPN.

 

True Blood

 

An international friendly football match.

 

The Godfather, with commentary. Despite the fact that I've owned the DVD release for almost a solid decade, despite the fact that I've watched it dozens of times, despite the fact that it's in my top three favorite movies... I've never listened to Coppola's commentary track. I think it just didn't occur to me to do so?

It's actually a bit difficult. I find myself thinking "Shut up, Frank" half the time - it's all good trivia, but you're talking over The Godfather, Coppola, what the ****? I'm trying to watch the movie.

 

My Wife and Kids

 

Baseball! Specifically, Athletics vs. Giants.

 

Wheel of Fortune

 

I plowed through The Godfather Part II with commentary and am now on Part III. Coppola's sheer density of words has increased dramatically, which kind of says a lot. I'm squarely in the camp that thinks this movie was unnecessary, so it goes.

I will say I admire the fact that he's willing to admit, at the end of Part II, that he did intend that to be the definitive, final ending of the series (And, indeed, he admits he didn't even originally plan a sequel in the first place). Not a lot of artists who produce followups are willing to fess up to those sorts of details.

 

Local News.

 

I was watching Unsealed Alien Files, but when they were starting to talk about the Annuaki, it started to feel like reheated leftovers of Ancient Aliens, so I decided to come back on the computer.

You know what's also weird? Frozen is already available to view for free On Demand, but I have no desire to watch it. For someone who likes cartoons, does this mean something's wrong with me (no more than usual)?
