jehurey 3,318 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I watched Hotel Artemis on cable tonight. Its okay, I didn't know that the movie was based on a near-future, sorta like a James Cameron movie from the 90's, where they predict that Los Angeles has turned into an out of control crime town, feels sorta like the Dredd movie in that there are ultra-powerful crime bosses. The story feels somewhat underbaked, like they want to explain 3-4 different stories at the same time, but they don't flesh out any of them. It feels like a story that would exist in the John Wick universe, but the world-building simply isn't as good. Its passable. Link to post Share on other sites

Teh_Diplomat 2,054 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) ^ Just dropped on Netflix And let me tell you, it does not disappoint! Not even two minutes in and I was dying! I don't want to give away any premises but I'd give it a 10/10. One of my favourite comedians ever since I saw him live, way back in 2010.

jehurey 3,318 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I'm barely listening to his Monday Morning Podcast from early March (I'm way behind), and he had just finished recording it at Royal Albert Hall in London, so this thing was recorded 6 months ago, and he said he was really going to miss those jokes because he liked them. I'll try to watch it over the weekend. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah well him and a bunch of other top tier comedians do what Louis CK pioneered, which is basically a new special every 12 or so months; and then they get rid of the material once the special airs. So that way if you were to see him on tour right now it would be entirely new material, and the time from when it was taped to when it airs they've done enough sets in LA or New York to build up another 60+ minutes of material.

-GD-X★ 8,362 Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 Ok, elite starts off feeling like “another” teen soap opera, but man...it goes to some dark, sexual and surprising places. I can’t recommend this to all, but it’s significantly better than 13 reasons why or riverdale. Link to post Share on other sites

-GD-X★ 8,362 Posted September 16, 2019 Author Share Posted September 16, 2019 Watched It chapter 2. It lacked any scares, but was worth watching for the performances - hader in particular. The cgi was somehow worse in this sequel, and the movie would have been better edited down to 2 hours (2 hours and 40 minutes, really?). Pennywise was better this time around. I wish they had cut back on the cgi and just let him do his thing. There’s a scene at a stadium that was excellent. It was super convincing. However, the movie opts for many cheap “scares” worth a rental, at best. Link to post Share on other sites
Ike★ 2,954 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) The Righteous Gemstones on HBO continues to deliver. John Goodman is so good. The writing is great. This definitely is Danny McBride’s strongest outing yet. Original song from last night’s episode was amazing. Edited September 17, 2019 by Ike Link to post Share on other sites
