OT: TV & Movie Thread: Part II

[nyrage]

Halfway through S3. Crazy. Shogun will have to wait.

The first 2 episodes of Shogun last night were fantastic. I can't wait to see the next episode.

Anyone else feel like movies have declined over the last 20 years?

Depends what you watch.

I'm gonna finish last two seasons this weekend.

Gonna watch original Shogun before I venture thru the new one.

Is the original streaming anywhere?

 

[aufheben]

Depends what you watch.

I mean good indie movies will always pop up. But it seems like every new movie is a superhero movie or a remake.

 

[mxyxptlk]

Is the original streaming anywhere?

I have no idea.

 

[Boris Zubov]

I have no idea.

What good are you?

 

[17futurecap]

Confirmed, first two episodes were great.

 

[mxyxptlk]

What good are you?

"Absolutely none!!!" as my mother fondly reminded me so many times.

The original was one of the best movies I’ve seen.….Bale was masterful even though the gore was maybe 2/10ths what Ellis wrote about in the novel. Remake is unnecessary.

They’re even rebooting The Naked Gun like what is going on

And there’s a remake of The Crow? What the absolute f***.

Oh man the Dune: Part Two reviews are so good. I’m sure it will go down when more people see it but it’s currently the highest rated film on IMDB ever.

I'm seeing it this weekend with my son and really looking forward to it. I read it, Foundation, and LotR before the first SW film came out.

The shows I've watched today are Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Andy Griffith, Rockford Files, and Twilight Zone.

I'll always stop what I'm doing to watch the Rockford Files.

I forgot that Leonard Nimoy was on Mission Impossible.

Caught a matinee for Dune on a day off. Just a regular screen with Dolby Atmos and it was still epic.

 

[duhmetreE]

Just bought Dune UHD to test out my new home theater

I heard it’s decent

I used to have a home theater way back when it was 5.1. I'm a 2 channel guy nowadays.

James Garner was a VERY underrated actor. I still watch his Maverick episodes.

I can’t wait. I’m seeing it in IMAX this Sunday. I don’t think I’ve seen an IMAX movie in about twenty years lol.

IMAX Sunday, and then got a solid seat for a March 20th showing at Lincoln Square 70 MM, can't wait!

I have a hunch Alia isn’t going to be in the movie. Showing a 2-year-old child with an adult intelligence in a movie would make Villeneuve a genius. They also didn’t reveal the pregnancy in part one.
