Sunday, May 15, 2016 Ich Trag Dich bis ans Ende der Weld, Senta Berger - Männer Sache

Die Affäre ihres Mannes mit seiner jungen Sekretärin stürzt die Berliner Hausfrau Anna in eine Krise. Sie hat nur noch einen Gedanken: nichts wie weg. Trotz der zerrütteten Beziehung zu ihrem Vater begleitet sie den störrischen alten Herrn bei seiner Pilgerreise auf dem spanischen Jakobsweg. Dabei kommt es zu heftigen Auseinandersetzungen, doch mit jedem gemeinsam zurückgelegten Kilometer tragen Vater und Tochter auch einen Teil ihrer alten Konflikte ab. Der beschwerliche Fußmarsch führt beide aber auch an ihre körperlichen Grenzen. Fast zu spät erfährt Anna den eigentlichen Grund für die Wallfahrt ihres Vaters.

I had seen this before, but with interruptions. Saw most of it again today, but had a phone call near the end. Understood almost all of the German, except when the father was quoting old German poetry.


Beim Scheidungsanwalt überrascht Paul seine Noch-Ehefrau Marlene mit einer unerwarteten Forderung. Seit langem leben beide nicht mehr zusammen, ihr Trennungsjahr aber ist nirgends dokumentiert. Und nun besteht Paul darauf, dies in den kommenden zwölf Monaten nachzuholen. Früher wird Marlene ihren ungeliebten Mann nicht los, und die Heiratspläne mit ihrem neuen Freund Alexander liegen damit erst einmal auf Eis. Um die Sache zu beschleunigen, zieht Marlene wieder in die gemeinsame Wohnung zu Paul. Der Rosenkrieg kann beginnen.

Again, I understood almost everything, except a little dialect.

May 10, 2016 London Spy Netflix, Grace and Frankie, Jessica Jones

Just saw the first episode of this bizarre new series. It starts with a very romantic homosexual relationship that turns out to be all lies.

Sat. May 7, saw the first 2 episodes of Season 2 Grace and Frankie, then watched the remaining 11 episodes on Sunday!  Not quite as good as the first season, but lots of nice moments.

At some point in the last few months, saw all available Jessica Jones.

15.8.25 White Collar

Am into season 2, or is it 3, of White Collar, which I am enjoying. Maybe a 3 out of 5?
Season 3, ep 3

2015.08.25 Aug 25 15 Quartet

Just saw QUARTET about the English Retirement Home for Opera Singers, and must say that I was rather disappointed. Dame Gwyneth sang Vissi d'Arte, and only had a few lines.  The thought of the four singers they had put together singing the Riggoletto Quartet was rather absurd, unless they took it down a third or so.  Just saying.

2015.8.15 Walking Dead, Nashville

Haven't been keeping up with this. Wish I had.

Today, finished watching Season 4 of the Walking Dead. Can't wait for season 5! Should be some time middle or end of September.

Two weeks ago, watched season 2 of Nashville. Where? I see only Season 1 on Watchever. Mystery.

Little bit of Frank Zappa documentary on Watchever, part of White Nights on Watchever in an English class.

A while back, all 4 seasons of Hero on Watchever. (time-traveling, etc.)

White Collar (Fox) (Netflix)  Saw 2 episodes months ago, forgot all about it. Rewatched the pilot, then saw Ep 3. Matt Bomer is the VERY cute actor who plays the art criminal Neal Caffrey. Was born near St. Louis, MO.
