What will you be watching on TV tonight (2025)?

[TastyReuben]

We just watched three (or was it four?) episodes of Babylon 5. We’re nearing the end of season 4 (out of 5).

This morning I watched the 1960 The Time Machine on youtube.
Guy Pearce did a version, too. Which I also like. But I prefer the older one for the way the people act oblivious to what is going on.

And speaking of Guy Pearce, I just finished watching The Proposition again. On Prime. Really good Australian Western. With Ray Winstone. He's made for characters like in this movie. Or The Departed.

I didn’t like the Guy Pearce version at all. The Rod Taylor version much better.

 

[TastyReuben]

The Rod Taylor version much better.

He made a lot of good movies.

Yeah, you take away the CGI and the newer version doesn't hold a candle. The story is much better done in the original.

And the original Time Machine had a great cast.

I had forgotten "Mr French" was in it until I saw him.

Also, Alan Young and Yvette Mimieux.

I want to watch The Brass Bottle. Need to dig out my DVD.

Need to dig this one out also. Another of my favorite Christmas movies:

I named one of my cats Piwacit after the cat in this movie.

Also, Alan Young and Yvette Mimieux.

Hah! I didn't even recognize Alan Young.
Not without his horse

If you like Burl Ives and can sit through Westerns (personally, I love Westerns), The Big Country is on YT.
One of my favorite movies.

I'm so/so on westerns. Don't like John Wayne.
I do like Tombstone and Silverado if they count. I'm sure there's one or two others. Just can't think of them ATM.

One of my favorite scenes from Tombstone is when Doc meets Ringo.

Excellent movie!

You'd probably like The Big Country then.
Lots of characters and turmoil. Man with the wrong woman. Lots of drama and action.
And loaded with big name stars of its day.

 

[PAcanis]

Oh, the ending with Doc and Johnny is pretty good, too.

Why Johnny Ringo... you look like somebody just walked over yore grave.
