Read the book. Good book. Have not seen the movie.

'The Iron Claw'. Watched this today. Jesus.....just absolutely brutal. Glad to see David VonErich/Adkisson is doing okay though.

Fun, solid movie, feels like it could have been a bit longer, some serious time jumps.

Definitely worth a watch on the couch on a lazy day.

Ep 4 was nuts. Antony Starr is convincingly psycho.

Isn't that the guy from Banshee?

No idea.

 

[mxyxptlk]

No idea.

It is -- he was the star of the show.

If you like him, you'll like him as Homelander.

I watched the first episode and didn't even recognize him.

Homelander is a great character!

Finished season 1 of The Boys.....now I'm intrigued.

It gets better

 

[mxyxptlk]

It gets better

I'm sure....my initial problem was that I was reading the comics when I started the series.....and the plot lines go in different directions about halfway thru episode 1. Fortunately, a friend told me I didn't have to. However, reading the comics I did gave me a better understanding of the characters in the show.

Restarting Witcher since it's been a while and never got around to watching season 3. Good show.

I'm going to give that another try....I could never get through season 1

 

[will1066]

It gets better

And depraved

 

[mxyxptlk]

Has anyone watched Dark Matter with Joel Edgerton?

 

[will1066]

Two Netflix docu series: Dancing for the Devil and Escaping Twin Flames. Crazy cult stories.

 

[mxyxptlk]

Just finishing up season 2 of The Boys -- this is some weird shit!!! Can't wait to get back to the comics to see where they head as the show went off on a tangent after book 5.

Season 3 of The Bear has been a total snooze fest. I’m 9 episodes in and nothing has happened.

 

[Lion Hound]

Saw Horizon in the Theatre last night. Costner did a good job with it.

Cinematograghy was excellent.

Storyline was solid but a lot of moving parts. Can get a little confusing. Would almost be better with subtitles, when it comes to HBO or Netflix or whatever.

Seems like an accurate account of life in those days. Some hard living.

I'm going to see Beverly Hills Cop IV this week. I hope it's "2024 good" which translates to watchable and doesn't rely too much on nostalgia and deconstructing Axel.

I went to see Quiet Place on the big screen. There were scenes that deserved to be seen on the big screen, but the story is mostly isolated and compact around Lupita Nyong'o. It was surprisingly decent as I didn't have a lot of expectations going in, as the franchise moves away from the original family story.

Stargate was a pretty good movie.

Better TV series, imo.
