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

My hero is back!

And here I thought this guy was your hero:

Just kiddin

Seriously, if you haven't seen Dr Sleep, watch it. Rebecca Ferguson is incredibly yummy as the villain. I know you love redheads and she's an incredibly sexy one.

She's definitely a VILF

Is it available on a streaming app?

I think it's on Netflix. That's where I saw it. Don't know if it's still there.

 

[Milhouse40]

Do we know who hes been cast as?

Nope, not yet at least.

 

[Mrb1p]

I just finished Moon Knight.
Was okay.

I started She-Hulk, pretty good. I like the Emil Blomsky rehabilitation arc. Its something thats touched on often in the comics but not so much in the MCU. The 7 concubines is a bit dumb but the premise is realistic.

I very much so second this

Watched the Gray man. Basically a shittier version of Bourne Identity.

And you're being very kind and generous.

Related bit... I introduced my wife to Breaking Bad and Ozark (and BCS) and she couldn't get into them, telling me cartel and mafia stories aren't her thing (unless there's Pedro Pascal somewhere in there, she did watch and enjoy the original Narcos). So yesterday, she's browsing Netflix and we both read the description for A Model Family. My first reaction is thinking "wow that sounds like the Korean knockoff of Breaking Bad or Ozark" and my wife, she tells me "oh, it's Korean, so it should be good". I'm like "Are you f***ing shitting me?" She:"What's the problem?" "Well, for one, you skipped on three of the best drama shows I've ever seen because, apparently, you don't like cartel and mafia shows unless there's lovely Pedro in it, but hey, it's a f***ing knockoff of Breaking Bad and Ozark, but since it's friggin Korean, it haaas to be good, right?"

Surprised to see someone put Ozark in the same league as Breaking Bad.

 

[Habs Icing]

I watched NOPE last night and all the while I had this sneaking suspicion that Jordan Peele's title was a cryptic answer to my question, should I watch this flick? What a pucking bore.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Surprised to see someone put Ozark in the same league as Breaking Bad.

Same type of canvas, same type of show. Not saying Ozark is as good as Gilligan's ABQ underworld universe, still it was pretty riveting.

I kinda liked it in the first 15-20 minutes when she's at Bruce's paradise monster resort, but then the end of that first scene in court, Ouf. Too much comic book-like. I quit right there.

Forgot Tim Roth is in it, so i might pick it back up. Somewhen.

 

[Mario Lemieux fan 66]

the northman: 7.8/10 good movie. The lighthouse was one of the worse movie i have ever seen thankfully the northman was much better.

the old man season 1 : 7.8/10 great 1st 2 episodes after that the pace drop quite a bit but still a good season.

star trek strange new worlds season 1: 7.5/10 good season with good characters.

illusions perdues: 7.5/10 good french movie.

the bear season 1: 7.5/10 good season but your left expecting more from the show.

the sandman: 7.3/10 good but uneven 1st season.

the gray man: 7.3/10 great set locations with good fight scenes.

C'mon C'mon: 7/10 average movie with Joaquin Phoenix.

Its the average MCU show, don't go in there expecting too much man. Just go in there expecting fan service and a fun little stupid time.

After the watching the movie my wife stands up and goes "and this is why we never watch movies you pick."

Since JDM has played Batman's dad in B v S, I'm thinking he could play their version of Batman named Tech Knight.

I am surprised that there isn't a thread where posters list their top 5-10 movies of all time.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

I am surprised that there isn't a thread where posters list their top 5-10 movies of all time.

...because everyone has those one or two that they secretly love but are embarrassed about for some reason...

...because everyone has those one or two that they secretly love but are embarrassed about for some reason...

Is that your way of telling us that every year you sit down and put your feet up, between a tub of pistachio ice cream and a big box of kleenex, to watch Ghost and lip synch every line of the movie?

What am I saying... Ghost. In your case, it's probably Scent of a Woman or Pretty Woman. Something that has a Roy Oborson song, for some reason.

I am surprised that there isn't a thread where posters list their top 5-10 movies of all time.

I wanted to suggest people post all the TV series they've finished and then those they haven't completed.

 

[BehindTheTimes]

My favourite movies are still Young Guns 1 and 2. Might lay back and run through them both later today

I forgot GoT. I re-watched at least 2 times, as recentlu as last spring, the wife and I felt like re-watching the whole thing in anticipation of House of the Dragon.

I wasn't pissed at how Lost ended, but GoT, after re-watching it I was still pissed.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Any fans of Josh Brolin watched The Outer Range on Prime?

Wife & I liked the first season a lot. A western scifi with time travel.

Oh man, how could you not be pissed at the ending of Lost? For years they denied the fact that everyone was dead and in the end we found out that they really were! I am still pissed lol. As for GOT it seemed like the writers got lazy in the end and just threw something together.

I loved that as well, looking forward to more.

Lol They weren't dead. They were only dead in the flashforward scenes in the last season, which was their common purgatory that led them to meet in the church in the end. They all died at different times, but once dead, joined their common purgatory. That's why Ben can't move on yet, he still has to atone for what he did on the island. Everything else, they were alive. On the island, thry were alive. Christian even tells Jack in the church "everything that happened on that island was real" and the show finishes with Jack dying on the island after defeating the smoke monster. This is the most common interpretation and it's the one Lindelof said was true.


Here: "The final reveal that the flash-sideways interludes were actually a glimpse into the shared afterlife that the survivors created for each other well after their deaths — some in previous episodes, some long after the events of the finale — may have been too much to throw at audiences at the time. It was easy to mistake the (admittedly vague) explanation of how the action on the island took place before the events of the seemingly alternate universe, which is how the "They were dead the whole time!" narrative became the prevailing interpretation of the finale among some circles."
