saw the 1st episode Willow, pretty bland but we'll see.  Original Willow was pretty lame too but it eventually won you over with charm so i'm expecting them to go for same effect.

Stick with it - it's up and down through the first few episodes but it does get better.  Nothing spectacular but worth watching IMO - I'm partial though cause I loved the movie as a kid.

It would have to be terrible for me not to see it through.

I've seen some pretty unfavorable reviews so you might just think it's terrible

re-watching it now. better the 2nd time around. 

I started watching National Treasure: Edge of History.  It's not bad and worth a watch if you have nothing else to watch.  It's a little campy and not as good as the movies, but they are fully tied together.  I'm on episode 6 right now.

I've been watching as well - agree that it's worth the watch

Started watching the National Treasure show.  Not bad, but not good either.  It’s kind of what you’d expect from National Treasure, put into a show.

Watched it in dribs n drabs over the past week or so.  Just enough to keep me interested, definitely has a Disney vibe to it.  A few plot holes and "convenient" arcane knowledge that quickly solved the riddle of the episode.  Couple scenes where one character is in a bar at night talking to someone across town during the day.  That said, things moved along at a good pace.

I read this as if you watched a show called "Dribs and Drabs" on Disney +.  So I just searched for it.  Like an idiot.  Long Tuesday.

LOL - C'mon we have enough talent on this sub-sub-section of a message board for an NFL team that we could bang out a seasons worth of episodes of Disney+'s latest action comedy "Dribs & Drabs".

Ashley "Dribs" Dribansheck grew up in the city and went to City College on a basketball scholarship, she was a lock to be a first round pick in the WNBA until injuring her knee in the Final Four of her senior year.    Drab Svoboda is from the small European country of Roovskavia, where everyone expected him to run the family sheep and llama farm, but Drab had other plans...  To sing and dance on Broadway!

Avatar: The Way of Water - Finally streaming, and it didn’t suck. Actually, and I may get flamed for saying this, but I thought it was pretty stinking good. Even in this age of green screen effects, the effects in this movie were amazing.

There are a lot of things you can critique about the Avatar movies.  The Special Effects are not one of them.   I'll probably watch Way of Water at some point now that its on Disney+.

Onward is the best Pixar movie. Fight me!! 

I know it’s not, but from a personal perspective, this movie tugs on the heart strings…..especially when your daughter says "I love you dadda!”

Arctic Ascent with Alex Honnold - Pure, ball shrinking, anxiety inducing, insanity.  Pretty sure God put that 4000ft tall cliff so far away from people so that people wouldn't try to climb it.

Secrets of the Octopus - On Nat Geo, streaming on D+. Amazing. The footage is just incredible, because the animals are just incredible. The Coconut Octopus

I just saw the first episode and my jaw was dropped the entire time.  No idea how they get all this footage.  I’ve always been obsessed with the blue-ringed octopus because of how lethal it is.  Then……

Spoiler

The mimic being able to transform into a grouper, a venemous sea snake and a ‘ukn lionfish!!!

Yeah, it was one of the better nature docs I’ve seen in a while. And thanks to this doc ol’ Monty the Python now has a new name. My specialized mating arm. :lol: 

Nice - I'll have to check that out.  I really liked My Octopus Teacher a few years back.

The scene where that Octopus was running for its life was one of the most amazing things ever captured on film.
