OT: The Movie & TV Thread

[Lunatik]

Only a handful of Sons of Anarchy episodes left for me. Man, this last season everything is turning to **** for the club.

Hox loves Venus

Oh god, I just saw the scene where Tig loves Venus while I was eating. I was not ready for that.

I think Walton Goggins is an incredible actor. I really hope he starts doing more now that Justified is finished.

Edit: I forgot he is in Vice Principals with Danny McBride, I need to check that out.

Looking at his list of films and television shows, I've actually seen quite a few of them but I've only ever noticed him in Sons of Anarchy and Hateful Eight. I'm going to have to go back and watch some of the other stuff he's been in.

Higgins was flat out incredible in both Justified and The Shield

I keep trying to watch The Shield, but I can't get past the first season anytime I try. Not sure what it is, I enjoy it, but there just is always something else I want to see more.

Fiar enough. I love all the seasons, but I found season 3 was where it really got it's footing and became addictive, for what it's worth. If you can get through the end of there, it might hook you more

Just rewatched the LOTR directors cut editions, 11 hours in total. Those are some great movies.

Smeagol or Backlund?

Tough decision.

We used to watch that in the van while driving from Calgary to Nanaimo or back. It was perfect for the journey, which is about 12 hours including the ferry.

I kinda liked Opie's actress friend.

Started watching "The Night Of" on HBO. Good show so far

Yeah, you do. Very much so.

 

[Lunatik]

Yeah, you do. Very much so.

I've watched the first episode, but it reminds me of how much I dislike McBride sometimes. It feels like this is exactly the same character as he played in Eastbound and Down (which I still have yet to finish because I got tired of him)

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

McBride was great in "This Is The End"

 

[Lunatik]

McBride was great in "This Is The End"

Literally not a single thing about that movie was great. That movie may have been the biggest piece of garbage ever filmed.

 

[Bouma Fett*]

I'm looking forward to seeing The Mechanic: Resurrection and Don't Breathe Friday. I liked the first Mechanic. Nothing incredible, just a solid Statham action flick, which is what I expect out of this one. Don't breathe looks like a really neat thriller. Such a neat concept

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

Literally not a single thing about that movie was great. That movie may have been the biggest piece of garbage ever filmed.

It's a stupid movie which makes it hilarious. The movie is great for laughs. Expecting anymore, and you will be disappointed. I enjoyed the movie, and probably will watch it again.

 

[Volica]

McBride was great in "This Is The End"

My friends and I still quote his argument with Franco to this day

That was all I expected and I still hated it.

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

That was all I expected and I still hated it.

Fair enough

 

[Lunatik]

Fair enough

I usually like the stuff by those guys too, so it was really surprising how much I disliked it.

Started watching "The Night Of" on HBO. Good show so far

Friend of mine who is a movie/TV show freak recommended this as well, so I'm gonna check that out.

I went to see The Happiest Day in the Life of Olli Mäki today. First Finnish film I went to see in a theater since I don't even know, and it was great. A great sports drama, might be in my top 5 sports movies all time. This most likely won't be in theaters in NA, but if you happen to come across this somewhere, it's definitely worth watching.

From Hollywood reporter

Shooting a boxing drama in black and white might risk inviting comparison with the gold standard for that genre, Raging Bull. But Finnish first-time feature director Juho Kuosmanen's captivating account of the 1962 world featherweight championship match between country baker Olli Maki and American titleholder Davey Moore is in a ring of its own. So gracefully does The Happiest Day in the Life of Olli Maki sidestep the formulaic mold of struggle, perseverance and simple victory or defeat that it could almost be considered an anti-fight picture. Either way, the film's delicate balance of humor, melancholy and sensitive human insight should ensure that it goes a few rounds on international specialty screens.
