OT: Let's talk about Movies and TV Shows, Part XXX (...how can this possibly go wrong)

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Some say he looks too old.. but then the Emperor is like 300yo so

He's gonna be perfect.

 

[Kriss E]

Ozark finale... meh.

Everybody's talking about Laura Linney and rightly so, but Julia Garner is pretty good herself. If anyone has seen Inventing Anna, she's shown great range with two entirely different characters in these two roles.

I thought last season of Ozark was good until part 2. After that it unraveled.

Just watched Northman...was very disappointed. Not necessarily a bad flick but I expected something more interesting. Also, not the biggest fan of how they used the supernatural sense.

Saw The Batman tonight. Some good to it, i though Pattinson was great in the role - he has to work on his Bruce Wayne though, the pouting was over the top.

Speaking of over the top, the Riddler was horrible. Hated his character and they tried way to hard to make it like Seven. They need to dial that way back.

Not just the pouting, he looks like a 17yo emo kid.

He's gonna be perfect.

How could he not, he did an epic dance in the video of a song that has « Walk without rhythm, it won't attract the worm » in its lyrics ffs

Just saw Dr strange. Pretty good stuff.

I was internally cheering when I heard the Xmen theme and saw the yellow chair.

Wanda is a f***ing savage and decimated 3 of the strongest being in this universe in mere seconds. How she did Black Bolt and Xavier was insane.

Captain Peggys shield throw was very cringey though.

Use the spoilers tag, mate.

Looking forward to Shorsey on hulu in a couple of weeks, last couple of seasons of Letterkenny have become a bit stale. Not enough hockey scenes and dialogue with the hicks, way too much Stewart and Roald, I know this will not be taken well but Riley and Jonesy are getting on my nerves, a little bit goes a long ways IMO! Down with BRO-DUDE and all that goes with that. Hope Laker Frankie makes a few appearances on the new show! “Geez Frankie you look like you love a good slice “ all-time chirp!!!

Yeah, I think I’m gonna pass. Not thrilled about what Marvel outputs nowadays.

Anyone here that has seen "The Northman"?

Anyone here that has seen "The Northman"?

I did. I was disappointed. I feel the movie was initially maybe twice as long and had to cut it. Timeline felt rushed.

That loooks horrible.

I hate that! OTOH we have the opposite with Peter Jackson who managed to take a children's book with about 300 pages made into 3 movies totaling 474 minutes!!

He did a great job too!
Northman could still be worth a watch. Personally thought it lacked substance but could still be somewhat entertaining.

Tony Marinaro's catchphrase comes to mind..........''is this a joke''

Any Amazon prime / Netflix recommendations? Where’s GoodKiwi when I need a hookup?

I think he is shacked-up

These we enjoyed,may have mentioned them already.

A true story


Fiction but we liked it.

Anyone here that has seen "The Northman"?

I did. It's a good movie as long as you know what you are getting into. It's not an action movie. It's not a super hero movie. It's mostly a folkloric movie about the vikings. The ending is great. The road to get there is uneven though. I feel like the movie didn't really fully accomplish its goal of being an epic vikings folkloric movie but overall is still a satisfying movie mostly because well it's not yet another damn super hero movie.

Probably the worst decision in cinema history imo. There was more padding in the Hobbit than on Hasek in his prime.

 

[HostileCapSpace]

Anyone here that has seen "The Northman"?

I enjoyed it. Strong cast, interesting visuals and cinematography, and like the poster before me said it's more a folkloric take on the Vikings with mythology elements.

Also recommend the previous movie by the same director: The Lighthouse (though maybe not for everyone)

 

[Forsead]

Any fan of Netflix serie Dark ? It's german.

 

[Mario Lemieux fan 66]

Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty season1: 8.5/10 entertaining with great acting everywhere.​

moon knight: 7.3/10

outlander season 6: 6/10 worse season so far.

Road is very uneven, which kinda killed it for me.
As I previously mentioned, I feel like the original cut is maybe twice as long and they just cut it short to make it into a single feature of around 2h.
Might have been a better story told as a TV Show.
I was disappointed as I was so ready for a bad ass viking warrior movie.

For those that tried Letterkenny but couldn't get into it, the new spinoff Shoresy is much more palatable to a general audience. Different tone.

My main language is french and I basically only listens english stuff nowadays, but geez is Letterkenny like a language course on steroids. I feel you have to have some notions of common sayings in Ontario or other anglophone provinces before listening to it, because as a newcomer it goes extremely fast and you can get lost easily. I like listening to stuff from the U.K. too (Peep Show, Ricky Gervais Show) and that's alright, but in Letterkenny they assume the listerners is already more than fluent. The speed of it all is complicating this too. It's great but I guess it'll take me a few more years to feel like I totally get it. Two episodes into Shoresy and this is way more straighforward.

Although I gotta say, I have to rewind everything Diaby is saying in french too he speaks so fast

 

[Conflicted Habs fan]

I've been binge watching Mark Felton Production documentaries on YT

 

[Le Tricolore]

I'm watching the new Rescue Rangers movie now, and this thing is incredible. Only about fifteen minutes in, but I'm loving this. Absolutely recommend this to anyone who grew up in the 80s and 90s.
