Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an intergral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on it's evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I’m pet sitting for the next few days, and I have access to Prime Video, Netflix, and Hulu. We have none of these at home for obvious reasons. But since I’m here for five days, does anybody have some suggestions on decent movies or series?
Just thinking I should take advantage of their services while I’m here.
I was going to suggest Better Call Saul but you won't have time to watch it all. Probably as well, its very violent later on. The first few episodes are safe.
Heck yeah, as long as someone else is paying, enjoy away. 😂
You should definitely watch the Stargate SG-1 show - its packed with declas from MJ-12.
Some good sci-fi: Firefly, Expanse (skip the first episode), Man in the high castle
Spy show: The Americans
Great comedy shows: Arrested Development, Better off Ted, Silicon Valley
Nice Mel Gibson movie that beautifully shows how CIA operates - Agent Game
That's a great list - I will try it, thanks.
The Americans reminded me of a great line in a movie about a young man who is mad about cycling. The father came out with: Why can't we have American food, like French Fries.
Also… Better off Ted, it was one of the best comedy shows that era
Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll check them out.
