OT: TV & Movie thread: Part III

'Wyatt Earp and the Cowboy War' on NFLX was pretty pretty good. Not at all what you'd expect.

Lioness /Taylor Sheridan . It's not bad...moves fast and is entertaining and better then Seal Team IMO .

Feelings on Beetlejuice 2? Twisters? Been on a 90s nostalgia kick and enjoyed both.

That's not saying much.

Anyone watching Dune Prophesy tonight? I don't know how it didn't occur to me that the Harkonen's started the Bene Gesseret.

Definitely going to watch the show just unsure if it’ll be as it goes or wait to binge watch it.

Also, there’s a Rangers game tonight

I got ya -- I'm getting ready to watch the knicks until Rangers come on. I'll watch it at work tomorrow.

Definitely. Although he's male and even more powerful, Paul is basically the ultimate Bene Gesseret plus his Arrakis powers such as controlling the worms.

I watched Deadpool & Wolverine so I could understand why Jennifer Garner was showing up in commercials again... It was not good.

I'm probably not the target audience (although I enjoyed the 1st one, have enjoyed most MCU/comic movies, and have been reading comics on and off for 35 years), but it was just very 'meh' and seemed to want to use music/action/1-liners in place of a useful plot (and I get that's part of Deadpool's shtick, but there are better ways to do it).
It actually reminded me of Ice Age 5 which i had to take my kids to many moons ago; someone came up with some set pieces designed to work with catchy songs and then tried to stitch them together into a movie.
With all the hype and marketing I was honestly expecting something at least slightly better

The cameos alone made it a great movie.im not sure what you were expecting-it was a fun movie where we saw Wolverine back on the screen for the first time in years

I don't know what I was expecting either TBH, but the 'fun' just didn't really land for me. Which as I said is fine, and exactly why streaming services (and Blockbuster back in the day) exist, so you can check stuff like this out without worrying about the cost of movie tickets

Just saw the most bad-ass exchange of words. It's like the fourth-ever episode of Walker Texas Ranger.



"Did you learn anything?"

"Did you teach anything?"

Dayum

If you think that's badass, we obviously did not grow up in the same type of neighborhoods.

Anyone watching Cross ?

I'm so disenchanted with current TV I've started watching The X-Files again from the start.

Scully was hot.

Definitely. Although he's male and even more powerful, Paul is basically the ultimate Bene Gesseret plus his Arrakis powers such as controlling the worms.

And, as we learned, also a Harkonen.

The James Patterson show?

Scully was hot.

She still is . I watched a show /series that was set in Ireland where she was chasing a serial killer.....she looked fantastic .

Fishtank has always been insane but this season is something. If you're into reality tv, haven't seen it and are not easily offended I say try and find clips before diving in. I wouldn't suggest watching it all day because you start to feel schitzo, haha. I work from home and have it on in the background and even then I need to take breaks.

I have to be honest, I don't understand how people can watch those (so-called) reality shows. I'd rather watch soap operas.

I totally get it. I don't watch reality show. Fishtank is really the only one. It's more of like a psychological experiment for 6 weeks. The whole point of the show is to basically degrade the contestants. See how much they can take til they leave. 50K is on the line. It's 24/7 with real time fan interaction with TTS messages, gifts and punishments and they are brutal. The contestants this season thought they were just going on a normal reality show and it slowly degraded into madness.

No, it's more of a psychological experiment for 6 weeks, Valley Girl.
