Boy did I hate reaching the end! I'm going to start it up again soon. Tonight I'm in The Pretender series.<br /><br />Also, in case you are wondering...Yes! Go see The Man From U.N.C.L.E. movie!!! EXCELLENT cold war spy movie...with humor, action, acting and music!! Great look and feel, as well as good story. I've seen it twice and will see it again before it goes off the big screen.uncle111https://www.blogger.com/profile/06648380991715575787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17309641.post-73987245285975604442015-08-12T08:40:54.166-07:002015-08-12T08:40:54.166-07:00Uncle, reading the comments section, it sounds lik...Uncle, reading the comments section, it sounds like this movie wasn't even on the radar of a lot of people. Obviously not everyone is as spy-hungry as we are. <br /><br />I disagree with the writer's take on the Bourne movies, though. I think they're excellent. Bond can be a little tedious at times and MI falls somewhere in between the two, IMO. <br /><br />I assume that, with any success at all at the box office, there will be at least 2 more UNCLE movies. I still think Bradley Cooper would have looked good in a string of UNCLE films.Page48https://www.blogger.com/profile/09728079057077761364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17309641.post-18470203385708016892015-08-12T00:01:12.644-07:002015-08-12T00:01:12.644-07:00I'll be at The Man From U.N.C.L.E. in a couple...I'll be at The Man From U.N.C.L.E. in a couple of days.

All things considered, one of my fave action series. Great locales, tons of action, plenty of humour. Over the top? Sure. Too adult for network TV? Sure, but very entertaining from start to finish. Fun stuff. Both of the main actors are on the new fall schedule on network TV.Page48https://www.blogger.com/profile/09728079057077761364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17309641.post-15331235553474536442015-07-29T18:12:12.147-07:002015-07-29T18:12:12.147-07:00So, it's been what, a month since the Affleck ...So, it's been what, a month since the Affleck dust-up?

That ain't no "Alias", but as a summer series, it doesn't have much competition, so we'll see how it develops. <br /><br />As I've said before, I lament the fact that the whole stable of Bad Robot writers seems to have thrown in the towel when it comes to pursuing original material.Page48https://www.blogger.com/profile/09728079057077761364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17309641.post-63461894425586487242015-07-17T16:59:53.081-07:002015-07-17T16:59:53.081-07:00Page,

So many of the superhero shows we have right now are so dark and depressing and moody, but SG is a breath of fresh air if that's what you're looking for, and I am looking for that. Melissa Benoist is training hard and working with Jen's stunt girl and "Chuck" writers are on the case.

I forget which of those links I posted suggested that Jen turned down the role of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTmXQHjpODA" rel="nofollow">Alice Eve</a> on "Star Trek: Into Darkness", supposedly because of her objection to being stereotyped in the girlfriend/mom role yet again, but I would ask her if she thought that "Arthur" or "Butter" would look better on her resume than showing up on a Bad Robot summer blockbuster.<br /><br />I think this is why that one article says that she should sever ties with her agent. Someone in her camp is making brutal choices, whether it's her or someone else, we may never know.Page48https://www.blogger.com/profile/09728079057077761364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17309641.post-43120040061074196642015-07-11T13:25:05.111-07:002015-07-11T13:25:05.111-07:00Uncle, Duggins was JG's stunt double/stunt co-...Uncle, Duggins was JG's stunt double/stunt co-ordinator for many of her ventures, including "Elektra", as well as occasionally doing the same for Agent Sarah Walker (remember that "Supergirl" has strong "Chuck" connections) and Agent Olivia Dunham.<br /><br />I don't think JG has been AWOL, so much as she's been mired in a decade long slump. I agree that "Elektra" was a stinker through no fault of Jen's. It was just a lackluster story.

I have liked the movies she has done since that I have seen, but I could certainly use some action. And as far as Elektra goes, I think most of the blame for that should rest with writers, directors, producers, etc. She is a good actress, but if the script. direction, etc. are poor you shouldn't blame the actor. <br /><br />But, it is what it is.uncle111https://www.blogger.com/profile/06648380991715575787noreply@blogger.com
