Oh, and I think it's worth mentioning at this point jjohnwm jjohnwm that, even though Predestination was dire, the crown for worse recommended programme of all time firmly sits on top of tlindsey tlindsey head!!

His recommendation of "Aquariums of the dead" really will take some beating. lol.

I thoroughly enjoyed Hell on Wheels and watched it (recorded) when it was on TV.

I'm also enjoying the new season of Fargo and watched the previous seasons. I wasn't aware it was on again, just happened to see it offered 'new' and started watching it. It is an odd and quirky program, sometimes slow moving but still entertaining.

I tend to record most programs so I can zip through the advertisements.

BTW esoxlucius esoxlucius , 'Aquarium of the Dead' was playing again during the Thanksgiving week holiday. :ROFL:

I know what you mean about the guns. I like spotting a nice whitworth, schofield, or spencer in those period flicks in lieu of the old winchester '94s that were apparently abundant in '84.
Hell On Wheels isn't loaded with Winchester Beta-testers wringing out new not-even-introduced-yet guns :)...but it also doesn't have a ton of well-used, well-worn older guns on display either, as I would expect would have been the case back then. But...everybody, and I mean everybody, seems to own a brand-spanking-new, polished-shiny 1866, which I would think were probably a pretty rare sight in those parts at that time. At one point, a semi-major character even calls out to somebody to "get me my Yellowboy!" which I kinda liked. And on a couple of occasions the hero is shown calmly switching cylinders on his Remington revolver while under heavy fire from the bad guys, so...overall, not a bad show for gunnies. :)

...And good thing you warned me about the leave the world behind. Ive had several coworkers urging me to watch it this week, but none of those guys share my feelings on airstones or even know how to build a plywood aquarium.
Never listen to those guys again!

I've never seen it, and honestly thought it was a joke when it was first mentioned in another thread on here. Is that seriously a movie title?

And, I said it before and I'll say it again: Predestination may not be everybody's cup of temporal tea, but it is one of the best, most imaginative, most original and all-around most enjoyable time-travel stories I have seen.

It's not a horror flick or an action flick...but it probably has the highest number of "What? But that means...Holy Crap! No way!!!" moments of anything I've ever seen. :)

No way! I'm surprised Tom wasn't on this thread setting the trap for more potential victims, lol.

In all honesty, and I kid you not, it is actually that bad it's worth seeing. What sets it apart from Predestination is that it's just plain proper daft.

Predestination messes with your head and makes you think about what the hell is going on. It goes back and forth so much and, like you said, there are wayyyy to many "what!!!" and "holy crap" moments going on.

Whereas with aquariums of the dead you just find yourself laughing at the absurdity, and occasionally cursing that tlindsey tlindsey guy too for putting you through it, lol.
