BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

YouTube Red, 3:00 a.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: Bourne Identity director Doug Liman also helmed the 2008 movie Jumper, about a teen who discovers a latent and mysterious talent for, among other things, teleportation and telekinesis. Liman has returned to the same source material to present Impulse, this new 10-part series in which Maddie Hasson plays a vulnerable young woman who, when she feels threatened, suddenly unleashes a power that, at first, she can neither comprehend nor control. (Think of it as FX’s Legion, only more conventional.) It comes from YouTube Red, yet another streaming service that is asking, and requiring, that you pay a monthly subscription fee to watch its special offerings.

 
  
 
 

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

SPECIAL: Once again, film critic and historian Leonard Maltin guides TCM viewers on a personal tour through the Disney vaults. All of the cartoons, shorts, and movies shown tonight are TCM premieres – and while the movies are marginal, the cartoons are fun, and some of the shorts and compilations are invaluable. The best of the best tonight includes A Trip Through the Walt Disney Studios (pictured, 8 p.m. ET), a 15-minute short that’s so fascinating because it was made in 1937 – the same year as the landmark Disney cartoon short The Old Mill, and the studio’s first full-length animated feature, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Also, at 8:15 p.m. ET, TCM presents The Best of Disney’s True-Life Adventures, a compilation that includes clips from several of the studio’s live-action, animal-filled stories. And later, Maltin rolls out the vintage Mickey Mouse cartoons, with 1937’s Moose Hunters (3 a.m. ET), 1939’s Society Dog Show (11:15 p.m. ET), and 1948’s Pluto’s Purchase (1:15 a.m. ET).

 
  
 
 

ABC, 9:00 p.m. ET

The Cleveland Cavaliers almost won Game 1, and let it slip away in overtime, then were thoroughly outpaced by the Golden State Warriors in Game 2 (especially by Steph Curry’s record-setting downpour of three-pointers). So the Cavaliers have lost the first two games of the series – but remember, that happened against the Boston Celtics as well, and the Cavs came back to advance to the finals. So here comes Game 3, the first game where Cleveland has home-court advantage. But do they have enough left in the tank to reverse the Warriors’ momentum?

 
  
 
 

AT&T Audience Network, 10:00 p.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: If you have DirecTV, you have access to the Audience Network, which is where you can find this new series adaptation of 1975’s engrossing 3 Days of the Condor movie, which starred Robert Redford as a CIA analyst. This new series, starring Max Irons as the investigator, makes some necessary and, for the most part, justifiable changes: the guy reads computer screens and financial data instead of obscure books, and meets a woman at random through Tinder rather than at gunpoint. But in an age of cellphones, his insider knowledge as a former phone repairman, the most engrossing twist of the original movie, is negated here – and while, in this TV version, modernizing the tale works well within a framework of international terrorism and a weaponized plague, the characters aren’t expanded nearly as well as the plot points. But give this new Condor points for excellent location shooting in Washington, D.C. and its Georgetown neighborhood, and for its strong supporting cast, which includes William Hurt, Brendan Fraser, Bob Balaban, and Mira Sorvino.

 
  
 
 

TBS, 10:30 p.m. ET

Last week on this show, Samantha Bee lashed out at Ivanka Trump’s silence on the treatment of babies and young children separated from their parents as part of President Trump’s new immigration policy by branding her with a two-word insult, the first word of which was “feckless.” (To repeat the second word here would be… reckless.) Bee subsequently apologized, and has let it be known she plans to address her remarks on tonight’s show. Stay tuned.

Bu web sitesi tam bir felaket. Sanki 2005'te tasarlanmis ve hiç güncellenmemis gibi. Sayfalarin yüklenmesi sonsuza kadar sürüyor, baglantilarin yarisi bozuk ve düzen hiç mantikli degil. Bir seyler yapmaya çalisarak bir saatten fazla zaman harcadim ve sonra hayal kirikligiyla pes ettim. Dürüst olmak gerekirse, bu bir saka.

Bu site tam bir karmasa. Yavas, aksak ve açikça sifir çabayla yapilmis. Bunu tasarlayan kisi açikça kullanici deneyimini düsünmemis. Çevrimiçi olarak basit bir sey yapmaya çalisirken hiç bu kadar sinirlenmemistim. Tamamen ise yaramaz ve kimsenin zamanina degmez.

Birçok bahis sitesi kullandim, ancak bu en yaniltici olanin tacini aliyor. 'Ücretsiz bonus'? Daha çok sahte bir yem gibi. Igrenç taktikler.
