And Thanksgiving Break began when I got home!! :)
Yesterday I watched:
Henry Danger - "A Tale of Two Pipers" (ep. #5.23). A somewhat amusing
in spots, very *general* spoof of "The Terminator". But the episode
plots have been really *thin* lately, and I'm wondering if they're
going to regret that Nick *doubled* the size of the season after the
fact, as you can clearly see in the writing lately that they're
scraping to put episode plots together...
Treadstone (recorded) - "The Hades Awakening" (ep. #6). Already covered
by Jim in the 2019-11-19 WDYW? thread. We finally get the background on
Bentley, Doug actually manages to make progress in figuring out what's
going on, and Edwards "goes rogue" with Haynes while Ellen seems to be
in over her head at the CIA.
Black Lightning (recorded) - "The Book of Occupation: Chapter Three:
Agent Odell's Pipe-Dream" (ep. #3.3).
The gist: By the end of this, Jefferson and Lynn are freed by Agent
Odell, and Tobais Whale is still obsessed with Black Lightning and
blames BL for all of his problems!!
I saw some of "My Christmas Prince" on Lifetime, because it starred
Alexis Knapp (and, like Merritt Patterson, Knapp looks *much worse* as
a blonde!!), in what is basically her *only* Lifetime movie gig, along
with a fun supporting cast that includes Pamela Sue Martin(!!) and
Marina Sirtis. But once I started watching it, I remembered that I has
seen it before, and so moved on.
30 Days of Night: Dark Days (uhhhhh...) - I had definitely seen this
before - the one thing I vividly remembered about the film is the scene
where the 4 principals gets trapped in a room together. But I
remembered almost nothing else about it, including what happened
*after* they were all trapped in that room together.
I'm quite sure I liked this more than Fred did. This flick is
unrelentingly *dark*, but it's generally OK... until the very ending
which *sucked* almost as badly as the ending from "The Tribe" film from
a day or two ago did!! Once again, the ending completely undid
everything that came before... >:/
On the casting end two interesting things: 1) Katharine Isabelle's
role in this film is a "blink, and you'll miss it!" kind of role - I
literally had to rewatch scenes after the flick was over to figure out
what role Isabelle actually played. (This is weird, as this film was a
decade after "Ginger Snaps", so it's not like Isabelle was a "nobody"
in 2010 who had to take a role like this!...) 2) Diora Baird had a
bigger role in this than I was expecting - in fact, this may Baird's
movie biggest role, until her recent pair of Lifetime flicks!
Recorded for later: Just another "Black Lightning".

liked her in THE GLADES despite hating her character. But this outing ...
yeah, I finally understood the people rooting for bad things to happen. She
was just fingernails on a blackboard here, especially after the fine job
Margot Robbie did in the role in the first film.*

way of committing suicide ever?
Despite it being fragrantly* foreshadowed, it *never* occurred to me she'd do
that, because it's beyond Lois Lane stupid.
Also, this may as well be an unrelated film with a different vampire mythos.
They went all ALIENS with the queens and such that we know are totally
unnecessary from the first film.
And have the writers yet to figure out that "Polar night" happens twice a
year!?

"muscle-y/bony" for my tastes!)
However, I was amused that she was noticably shorter than Diora Baird,
whom I don't think is particularly tall! ;)

Renfieldian FBI agent, is forced to watch the torture of her b.f. by
Lilith, and then is killed by the (human!) FBI agent when he chews on
her neck. (Ew!)

I liked her in THE GLADES too. For anyone that hasn't seen the flick
here is a bit of her performance in the movie.

It's strange how we have the vamps being intelligent and able to talk
in the released movies but yet in the Fearnet shorts they can make
their cry (like wolves) but never actually speak once fully turned.
Seems like if this were real they would be at least coming up with a
plan of action when getting ready to attack.

The Earth flips ends twice a year. So the North Pole becomes the South
Pole and then reverses. It's a special world that allows for flipping
Earths and vampires.

Was GINGER SNAPS really popular or was it more of an underground cult
hit? Seems to me it was more of the latter.

so the vampires only went after a tenth of the population? Surprising
the remaining people would stick around. :)

Seriously, the South Pole night is even LONGER.
Not sure how many towns it affects though.

Before DARK DAYS she'd done Ginger Snaps 2, not to mention Ginger Snaps 3.

> What did you watch?
On Monday November 25, I watched:
NCIS: 17x7 No Vacancy
"spy cameras hidden in the rooms of a motel"
NCIS episodes don't bore me.
Grade B-
ELEMENTARY: 5x20 The Art of Sleights and Deception
but this show often does, & in this episode all the talk of the book did,
rest OK.
Grade C+
WHAT/IF: 1x9 1x10
Earlier on this show abandoned the original story line for an unbelievable
scenario of fantastic coincidences. The very ending is a copy of similar
endings, namely a person believed to be dead is alive at a rich resort.

Watching Democrats come up with schemes to "catch Trump" is like
watching Wile E. Coyote trying to catch Road Runner.
