[The Crypto Guy]

Twisters getting great reviews. 94% audience score on RT.

Cant wait to see this.

By the way, isn't it funny that nearly every time a body explodes, Hughie is always the one to get "doused"!!!!

Interesting you mentioned funny. This season was really dour overall. So glad Deep can still bring the rare moment of laughs though. I'm also desensitized to the gore lol. It's so beyond extreme at this point, it's cartoonish.

Boardwalk Empire also a good series for streaming . I thought it had a great cast . A new one , Hotel Cocaine..... also looks like it will be entertaining . I'm also watching Blue Bloods.....I had never watched an episode of it ever until 3 months ago...now I am in Season 10 . It was just a series I had previously skipped . Donne Wahlberg is really great ! Mayor of Kingstown -Snowfall-Peaky Blinders all great TV series . Drama-cops-drugs usually holds my attention for the most part when it comes to my own viewing . LOL.....I forgot to mention Banshee....it had a bit of everything in it ! Action packed series it was indeed !!!!

Boardwalk Empire is a classic and a must watch! Snowfall is more recent and if not in that category - it should be considered. Peaky is a classic. I’m keeping an eye on Mayor of Kingstown. What do think about Stallone’s King of Tulsa, I think it’s called?

I would recommend Sprint - a sports documentary on Netflix that in 2023 followed the very best 100 m and 200 m runners around the world.

I think one season of Tulsa was enough for me .

One and a half episodes was my limit.

Wow I'm gonna be shocked if it doesn't bomb.

Aw heck -- and here I was thinking it was about a bunch of people dancing.

The thing I remember most about the original Twister was it had a pretty fun soundtrack. The Van Halen and RHCP songs were great and ironically both made member change back to their classic lineups after.

Kill the Hindi film was a pretty good throwback to 80s and 90s action movies.

The Deadpool and Wolverine movie is next week and will probably save the summer box office.

Zoe Kravitz directed a film coming out end of summer, that looks interesting.

Twisters was a blast, great to see it crushed at the box office. Glen Powell stock through the roof.

The Lainey Wilson song was beautiful, and overall, the soundtrack was great for the duration.

Box Office: ‘Twisters’ Whips Up Huge Storm With Record $80.5M Domestic Opening

The film marks the biggest start ever for a natural disaster pic in North America. The winds, however, weren't as strong overseas.

Breaking is now an Olympic sport, so you're covered.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman cranking Goo Goo Dolls' Long Way Down sticks in my memory.

I watched it - if you don't like it this far - you're not going to like it anymore if you continue watching. I thought it was ok

 

[will1066]

I'm in the middle of episode 8 of Turning Point: The Cold War and the Bomb. @SnowblindNYR It's been great.

Thanks. I like the cast but its just so dry so far. I think I'm around 6 episodes or so in.

I thought the last hour of Oppenheimer was horrible. It should have been 2 hours.

Well, interrogations are never fun.

True. The story was told after the first 2 hours when the bomb was invented. That last hour was just pc lecturing. He intentionally embarrassed the wrong guy and paid the price. Trying to fight the status quo was dumb. This was the McCarthy era for goodness sake.

Skywalkers docu on Netflix. Nuts. Completely utterly bonkers.

 

[Ben Grimm]

The 2023 Mission Impossible flick is on Prime.

EDIT: OMG, it's so bad and cheesy. Cobra Commander may show up soon. Tom looks 62.

This is how I feel about 99% of action movies and why I stopped watching them. Don't know if it's a sign of times or that I got older to the point I can't enjoy these dumb storylines anymore.

If I want dumb story lines and action I default to Godzilla movies.

It's a good time to be a Godzilla or King Kong fan. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is on Max.
