Cooper seems to be playing the 1940s version, the other guy the older version.

Plex has added playlists in the latest versions of the Android app, though I don't know if the server client is doing that yet. I do know that the server end will import playlists.

Well...that's rather the thing with CSI and its ilk...after a while they start making the same episodes over again. This always seems worse with the arc episodes...the same story six times a season! Comfort food, that series.

Going by the current state of things, Ascenscion didn't get picked up....

I thought it was one typical backdoor pilot and one minor crossover...the latter of which was like watching Ted Danson talk to empty air for two minutes. I fear the coming series will have the same kind of personality vacuum as NCIS New Orleans...possibly worse, as the CSI show doesn't have a CCH Pounder....

They pretty much grow rocky and wizened as the years pass, but it's a question of survivors too...not many get past the first few bouts. I never knew of anyone with a legacy conker, but I've heard of passing them down. For my part, I discovered percussion and girls, and then got hauled off to Jamaica as a conkerless…

Hardly. I used to do this in the sixties, and kids still do it.

I was always a proponent of the baking method (drill the hole for the cord first.) Roasting was a viable alternative, although you really wanted to be non-obvious about the trickery.

...in a Sam Mendes film...

On the other hand there was also Trapper John, M.D., the M*A*S*H spinoff that everyone forgets was a spinoff.

You've seriously never seen the assorted genitalia on GoT? Among others we've had Alfie Allen's massive dick swinging about, and various female full frontal.

Terri Nunn was actually the front runner aside from Fisher. At one point Jodie Foster and Christopher Walken were considered for Leia and Han, which would have made for a very strange experience.

Initially, the majority of videocassettes (VHS and Betamax!) were only available for rent; those that were available for purchase ran $70-$100 (and sometimes more) and were basically pan and scan monoaural that lacked any real mastering for the format. The exception was porn, which could all be purchased — expensively.

Actually, it was Star Wars itself that set off the summer blockbuster trend. Before that all of the big tentpoles had been clustered around Christmas. It just took a while to alter the distribution pattern from platformed releasing methods to the multi-thousand screens simultaneous releases of today...and *that* took…

Transparent has great notices, and I liked the the pilot of Mozart In The Jungle a great deal.

Several of those Amazon pilots were pretty bad. It seems that very few of them got picked up for series — Mozart In The Jungle and Transparent seem to be just about it.

And they threw it into both promos.

Gremlins 2 was a Waner Bros movie, and if there's one thing I now about Hollywood...it's a small town. I imagine that was commonly known (though I never heard about it from my WB WP ex-wife.)

That would be the Michael Bay version.

I kept meaning to get out and see things in the cinema, but it never actually happened. What *did* happen was that I bought a ton of Blu-Rays, some DVDs, and even a VHS cassette (it was a railway video I couldn't find on DVD.) I also watched the odd bit of streaming (I, Frankenstein yesterday, because Prime, and…
