TV & Movie Roundup

October 26, 2015

A week ago I went into Dublin and had a Movie Day. I went to see The Martian, Everest and The Intern, and decided not to go to Macbeth because I wouldn’t have gotten home until the heat death of the universe, or something a lot like it, like, eleven-thirty at night. :) The Martian was, somewhat astonishingly, as good as everybody’s been saying it is.

Picoreview: NCIS Season 10 (and the first 2 eps of s11): …that was actually really, really good. I mean, NCIS is a solid show.

Young Indiana and I went to see Home, which was a sweet little film.

I was gonna go see Insurgent, except it doesn’t start until next week. Darn it. Maybe I can…

oh my GOD why did none of you TELL me about LXD (Legion of Extraordinary Dancers)? STREET DANCING SUPERHEROES, GUYS, AND YOU DIDN’T TELL ME. YOU ARE ALL FIRED! Ted found the first season on Netflix the other night and thought “Catie must watch this.” Furthermore, he knew which two episodes I would like best before I watched them. Now we must watch the rest of them!
