OT: The Movie/TV/Streaming Thread

I enjoyed this season of Wheel of Time. I hope Amazon doesn't cut bait. They've really hit their stride.

I was fine with all of the changes, outside of the Loial of the Rings moment.

It's easily the best season of the show, and for the first time the finale didn't leave me feeling let down. Ep 4 was about as good as I think can be reasonably expected given their time/budget restraints.

There will always be some things I won't like about it, but not because of changes from the books, and probably pretty common in other shows of this genre. My biggest complaint now, is that they aren't given that time and budget. Amazon is stupid when it comes to TV

Talking with the wife we got on the topic of what’s the worst movie that you really like and routinely watch.
I think I’d have to admit that Red Dawn is mine.
What do you got?

Twister.

I just can't not watch it even though I think it is a subpar movie. The sound effects they use for the tornados (camel, lion, tiger) were mixed too heavily to the point it was laughable. They also used the sound effect of a train, which was more useful, and wind effects, but all I could hear through it all was a camel. First movie released on DVD, I believe.

Im trying to rewatch ER before I start the PITT, just now getting to when Mark Greens Brain Tumor comes back. This is around the time I always lose interest

I didn’t mind the first one. The remake was laughably bad.
The Happening and any Karate Kid movie after the Miagi/Larusso trilogy

It’s definitely an enjoyable movie but it’s really not a good movie. The acting is shit. Avenge me! The premise is laughable at best. But I’ll be damned if I haven’t seen it at least 10 times.

I think that was S8, and then S9 the show completely jumps the shark when it has a helicopter crash onto the roof and it then falls over the side of the building and lands on the sidewalk and kills Romano.

After Romano in a previous season had his arm cut off when he got too close to a helicopter on the roof.

I think for the entire episode and maybe even most of the next episode the characters didn't know where Romano was until finally finding out when the debris was cleared up and his prosthetic was used to identified his remains and one of the residents on the show was like "Damn, what did Romano do to piss off helicopters?" lol

People actually watched ER? I thought it was a way for the producers to launder money or something. I don’t think I know anyone that has watched chef an episode on purpose.

I don't really 'flip around' channels anymore so I can't prob don't watch much that way... but when I used to there were def a bunch of 'bad movies' that I'd watch (or finish watching) if it had already been on.

Death Wish 3 is something I would always HAVE TO finish watching if it was on while flipping around. The ridiculousness of the over the top body count lol.
 
I have to amend my answer (re: Twister). I don't watch commercial television unless it's something sports-related. The only other times I have my TV on is when I have my PLEX account on "random" or on a certain playlist I put together. Twister is in two or three different playlists (out of 70+ playlists) that mostly play as a background distraction, but I'll actively watch it when it cycles through. For example, it's on the "Rainy Saturday" playlist:

Fletch.

I used to watch it with my cousins something like once a month when we were all visiting our grandparents' place. Usually a Sunday afternoon. I have no idea who had the VHS copy of the movie, but it was awesome then and it's awesome now.
 
Saw Sinners at the IMAX last night.

Hot damn, what a film. I was mesmerized the entire time. I knew nothing about it, didn't see the trailer.

Anyone else see it?

Sinners was phenomenal. Saw it last Friday by myself then sent my wife to see it by herself yesterday and she also loved it. Best movie of the year so far.

Also took the kid to Legend of the Ochi this weekend. Really good family fantasy adventure film with some amazing puppetry.

I am too. Did you try the Perry Mason HBO reboot of all things? It's right down that alley. Loved it.

Have to give it a try.

If you really like Noir, YT has 100s of Noir. Mostly trash but a few nuggets.

TCM at 10 am on Sundays has a program called Noir Alley. The cream of the crop movies. Yesterday was Prowler. Femme Fatale was Evelyn Keyes; most noted role as SueEllen in Gone With the Wind . 5 husbands and lots of lovers as she claims in her autobiography.

Just watched Kubrick's The Killing (1956) again this morning. Very unusual because of the omniscient narrator. Unusual because this does not seem to be Kubrick's style, but he was still getting his legs. The Untouchables TV series, which debuted three years later, would also use this feature, and was probably inspired by The Killing.
