TV Movie Thread Part Iii

Really mixed feelings about the new Superman tease. Correnswet has the face for Superman but he’s built like a weenie after having Cavill in the suit, and the costume looks like trash.

Kevin Bacon has this Ghost Rider rip-off coming out on Prime and it sounds so bad it's a must watch.
 
I've never had such a love/hate relationship with a show as I have with Billions. The first three seasons... I was ready to crown it in my top 3 of all time. Fast forward to the end of season 6 and I feel like it has become a meme. Season 4 was dreadful. Season 5 was worse. Season 6... the show has lost all its mojo.

I'm only going to finish it because I've invested this much time in it. But man... there was virtually nothing like the scene below once season 4 started.


Replace Billions with The Walking Dead for me and a lot of TWD viewers.

Yeah, loved that show probably through season 7ish? Guessing, I can't remember. It wasn't terrible or anything, just not nearly as good.

Lost had a great start and sputtered out
Heroes same thing
Firefly should have never been cancelled

The list goes on.
 
Lost should have ended after season 5 (which the bomb reset everything).
Heroes painted itself into a corner with Sylar
Still don't know why they cancelled Firefly.

They didn't show the episodes in the proper order and moved the show around a lot which caused poor ratings. My favorite one season wonders are:

1. Firefly
2. My so-called life
3. Freaks & geeks
4. Flash forward
5. Moonlight
6. Jack & Bobby
7. No ordinary family

Lost was amazing. Still one of the best shows of all time. People always bitch about the endings to every good show. Nobody is happy. It was fine.

I can agree with 1, 4, and 6. Was Moonlight the vampire show? Didn't get to see that yet.

One show on my list you don't have: Brain Dead -- it was hysterical at times.

There was a TV show back in the early 2000s with a similar theme....I think it was called The Collector....I believe it was a Canadian production.

Side note. Hope cavill is the new bond

I’ve really grown to love and appreciate the Daniel Craig bond movies. They are well done

The parkour cold open of Casino Royale, and later when the bartender asks him shaken or stirred for his martini and he responds, do I look like I give a damn? Set the tone for a hard-boiled Bond.
 
They are mostly various degrees of good but Quantum of Solace is absolutely terrible. The director and editors should be forbidden from working in a visual medium ever again due to their heinous quick cutting around cool stunts and action.

Some stuntmen got severely injured trying to make incredible stunts and these chumps pissed on all the stuntmen by making a movie where you couldn’t tell what the hell was going on due to the longest shot being like .82 seconds. Infuriating movie. It’s like a supermodel covering herself in tattoos.

Thankfully that Bourne Identity era spazz editing seems to be going out of style.

Finished Billions last night. Season 7 was actually tolerable but again, the writing was horrific.

They spend season 6 trying to make you like Mike Prince and propping him up to be some wonderful billionaire who is out to try and do good, to then turn around and instantly flip on him?

It just didn't work. Although, the return of Bobby and others was awesome.
