OT: Let's talk about Movies and TV Shows, Part XXXI (now rated PG)

[Runner77]

I’ve been on a huge Naked and Afraid binge. Show is incredibly addictive.

I worked my way backwards from the latest episodes in Season 15 all the way to Season 4.

Participants get the choice of certain items they can bring with them for their 21 day ordeal. Usually, there’s always some kind of oversized knife being used. A recurring one is the Nepalese machete, something that’s great to have if you’re stranded and have to fend for yourself.

Too bad there won’t be a Season 3 of Your Honor: Showtime Pulls the Plug on Season 3 of Your Honor

The finale is slated for next Friday.

What a show it’s been so far, the storyline, casting and acting are superb.

The English is a pice of shit I saw all in one sitting.

It was an extremely difficult watch for me that I had to take breaks from after each episode so it took me 12 or so hours to see the whole thing.

A sad, pathethic piece painting a world filled with sociopaths, serial murders and their victims. It takes a lot from Tarantino whom I simply no longer watch, but its writing is visibly weaker and it tries to make up for it with shocking violence, and more noticeably, zooming in on many (not few) portrayals of human scum and try to keep your eyeballs that way alone.

Towards the end The English dives even deeper, to the vey depths of a filled toilet bow, to make your stomach turn. Why? I have no idea as it is already 6 feet under and everyone gets it - no puppies licking anyone as the final cut. But it needs to go further. Upsetting and Blunt needs help producing and partially writing her (first for both) series in this manner. I'm disapponited and it was not expected in the slightest.

It is my honest believe healthy humansc should not expose themselves to such on-screen content regularly and unhealthy ones avoid it entirely.

The English is a piece of shit I will not talk about any more.

Tarantino sucks, I can’t get into any of his garbage.

Tarantino sucks, I can’t get into any of his garbage.

I was/am a big fan of his early work, but he simply flatlined. I stuck with him longer than I should have, but enough was enough at one point. Haven't bothered with anything of his since I walked out of Inglourious Basterds. What a piece of horse manure that was...

Good show I agree. The casting tho not sure I would call it great. 30 years old playing teenager was not fitting IMO

 

[Mario Lemieux fan 66]

Plan B saison 4: 7.8/10 an other good season

all quiet on the western front (2022) : 7.8/10 great acting, cinematography and battle action.

sprung season 1: 7.8/10 good saeson

the whale: 7.5/10 great acting and set design ok movie.

You mean the guy playing Carlo?

I just looked him up. It’s Jimi Stanton aged 30. Now that you mention it, he did look much older in this week’s episode.

When it comes to casting I generally don’t look at an actor’s age. By way of example, most actors playing teenage movies are in their early to mid 20s. It’s all about how well they pull it off.

I liked Stanton’s performance but in this particular case, he did look much older than he should have been.

The baxter boy was alright. It was more the girl with the baby she really didnt look or act like a 17 years old girl. Plus the judge's son didnt look like a teenager neither and I didnt really like the story with the affair he had with the hot teacher and the fact he told her about the hit and run. I couldnt get behind that part of the story but overall a pretty good show.

65 is a big disappointment (for me)

Is that a scream for help I hear?lol. Remember Nancy Reagan slogan, ''just say no''

If you don't mind,can you say what draws you in and gets you ''hooked''

You must know it's orchestrated and directed and the actors are fed lines that come off as not genuine. There is no real danger,much is exaggerated and false with editing to make it look more perilous than it is. They have ''spotters'' surrounding the perimeter of the ''theater'' though as it may be required.

But heck,I go searching for bigfoot whenever I can.lol

 

[ClasslessGuy]

Saw Scream 6

I would not say it's a bad movie, bit too much in my opinion in terms of twist.

still a good slasher movie, felt like it was more gory than the other ones

7/10

 

[rik schau]

Anyone see this show? I was told about it from some people we met and yet to see it. Stars Hilary Swank,like her in a lot of movies, and apparently it's relevant as it addresses real issues albeit fictionalized,draws awareness at least. She's an investigative reporter and the reviews seem pretty good.

Amazing backstory. When Stallone finally found an interested party for his screenplay, they offered him a large sum to not have him play the part, life-changing money, but he wouldn’t do it.

Now you ruined that show for me.

I like the idea of survivalists finding ways to get through. I’m aware that it’s not completely real but have learned a few things about what to do and not to do if on the outside chance, I got stranded.

The biggest takeaway is how gear-dependant all survivalists are. When you have nothing, you don’t really have a big fighting chance. Despite some fakery, you routinely see people losing a ton of weight on that show — most of them look emaciated by the end of their 21-day challenge.

My favorite shows are when one of the contestants brings a bow and arrow and then end up getting a big kill that feeds them for days. It’s kind of cool seeing them bbq in a jungle.

If anyone wants to watch an absolute messed up series, that's pretty legit.. check out Attack On Titan. I'm not really into anime typically, like ever but I randomly came across this and it's just weird but fascinating.

Watch Attack on Titan Season 1 Online Free -Dubbed with english streams.

 

[Runner77]

Some actors become livid when they’re being typecast.

Not this guy. Check out the name of the characters he plays. He clearly couldn’t care less, the money keeps rolling in.

Anyone remember him from the back alley scene in Bruce Almighty?

 

[Runner77]

Enjoying this new action/ intrigue series on Netflix called Night Agent. It’s fast paced and there are several tense scenes.

Main character is likeable, I would even venture that he has the type of jawline that @Adam Michaels appreciates in his heroes/ Greek gods/ sports figures. It’s worth checking out just for that.



Reading user comments on YouTube, a recurring word to describe the show is « addictive ». Many said they had to binge watch it, they couldn’t stop. One user said that it reminded one of the series 24, with Kiefer Sutherland.

 

[sandviper]

Watched John Wick 4. Considering the over-the-top violence, the set pieces were well done and there was a lot of world building.

it was good but got a little too politically correct and predictable in the end. They should have focused more on the crime family. I mean c'mon the kid's murder trial was an open and shut case lol. I wish they took a different route it could have been a really good series that lasted years!

PS saying all that, I'm hooked on Mayans MC lol, totally predictable hahahhah

Keanu has shot a small town’s worth of targets in any of the Wicks but, in real life, this is the kind of world building that resonates and he does his small part. This is not recent footage but it’s totally who he is. Plus, it’s a completely fabulous Canadian thing to do.

Night Agent is very good, with lots of twists and turns.

Love him as a person. Not a fan of him as an actor lol.
