-GD-X★ 7,748 Posted August 9, 2022 Author Share Posted August 9, 2022 2 minutes ago, Mr. Impossible said: Yeah, Tony Shaloub is amazing. I like the actress who plays the mother as well. Even the ex husband stuff is kind of fun. I'm going to post more about The Sandman, which I liked but was let down by weak and in some cases fucking embarrassingly bad CGI and lack of interesting cinematography. When you have the God of Dreams fighting fucking Satan in a metaphysical battle, it should impress some what. Even Legion tops it in this department and that's a five year old FX show. Look at this fucking establishing scene for a random middle of the season episode of two people having drinks in Ms Maisel. some of the camerawork and cinematography are downright intoxicating!

Mr. Impossible 410 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 On 2022-08-07 at 12:42 AM, jehurey said: The Terminal List is based on the cottage industry of people who claim to be Navy Seals writing their own books that are supposedly based on the types of missions they would do. They're actually really shitty, hokey books. Tom Clancy books are their own cottage industry at this point, but initially they were of higher quality. Somebody actually read one of these books, large portions of it, for a youtube video. She's making fun of it, obviously, but all she's doing is LITERALLY reading what's in the book for you to see just how bad it is, and just how hackneyed it is. lol I think I watched this video before, she does a lot of reading stuff and some movie/show analysis. Is this the book where every character tells the lead character that he is big and strong? It's fucking porn for incels. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,238 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Finished up Reacher. Just good ol' fashioned good tv. Its not trying to be high-art, just satisfying. Which it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

madmaltese★ 2,586 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Watched Saul. I'm liking it quite a bit but it is definitely like pure epilogue material. Has went a very different direction than the final episodes of BB (those were arguably the middle arc of this season for BCS). Spoiler I got exactly what I was hoping for. A Kim episode in the Gene storyline and I thought it was great. Practically every scene involving Kim was great. The phone call with Saul, the scene with Howard's wife, the divorce scene with Saul and tbh especially Jessie's scene from Kim's perspective. I know Jesse looks way too old now and it's a bit weird seeing him reprise that character but there's not much to do about that. Kim's line was so damn good though. Very much looking forward to seeing how this ends up. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 7,748 Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share Posted August 10, 2022 I just want it to end so I can put the series to rest (and never revisit these mediocre last few eps). Spoiler Kim was the only good part of the Gene arc. So many inconsistencies, dumb moments and forced fan service. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,928 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I watched the horror movie Orphan from 2009 for the first time and it was actually surprisingly fun (never even heard of it before now). There's a new prequel coming out next week but one very bizarre aspect is that the child actress from the first movie is reprising her role as the same character even though she's now a 25 year old adult Should still be a fun watch though.

-GD-X★ 7,748 Posted August 12, 2022 Author Share Posted August 12, 2022 Well, the For All Mankind season 3 finale was the good, great, just ok and messy - which sums up the season. When it was firing on all cylinders, the episode reached new heights. However, logic gaps, soapy elements and some questionable execution grounded it from total greatness. Still, it was a mostly thrilling episode, but I can't help but feel like the second half of season 3 didn't feel as cohesive and great as the first. I also think season 2's finale was way better. Overall, I give season 3 a 7.5. That may seem surprising, considering I love this series. However the Spoiler Danny arc took the score down a good 1 and a half point. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cooke 2,030 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 (edited) I've never seen anyone talk about Goliath. If you like BB, Saul, Fargo, Ozark, then definitely check it out. I mean it's Billy Bob Thornton at his best. Great cast too. Billy Bob Thornton William Hurt Maria Bello Molly Parker Bruce Dern JK Simmons Jena Malone Denis Quaid Elias Koteas Dwight Yokam David Cross Haley Joel Osment Beau Bridges Like seriously, good show. Watch it fucktards 🙂 Edited August 12, 2022 by Cooke Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ike★ 2,913 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Ep7 (the deaf one) of Only Murders was the best episode yet. Lane, Short, and Martin are all at the top of their game. What a fun ass show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Twinblade★ 3,928 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I started binge watching Only Murders last night and it really hooked me, only have a few eps left in the first season. What a great little show. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

-GD-X★ 7,748 Posted August 15, 2022 Author Share Posted August 15, 2022 I watched She Came From The Woods at Popcorn Frights. That was a fun af spin on 80’s slasher flicks. The humor was a mix of campy, crass and politically incorrect It was a lot of fun! Definitely check it out when it comes to Shudder. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

-GD-X★ 7,748 Posted August 16, 2022 Author Share Posted August 16, 2022 And that’s a wrap! Saul has ended. Better than I expected, but I still had hoped for more (and better). Also, it shouldn’t have taken Spoiler The Jeffy garbage To get there. Ditching 90% of eps 10/11 would have made everything tighter. Seriously, 3 eps to get to the climax in the finale? Lol, There are many ways (better ones too), in terms of how they could have gotten there- way faster too. Still, I was entertained and I feel somewhat satisfied. Overall, fantastic series with a wobbly, inconsistent final stretch. There were some great performances in the last few eps, though. But overall, I feel like Breaking Bad had a significantly stronger ending. At least I didn’t hate it lol. Wheew. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ike★ 2,913 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Spoiler I laughed and cried when Kim pulled out the cigarette in the prison. It was such a perfect ending for those two. We got closure and we got a real Jimmy for once in court. The finger guns too at the end before the final shot of both of them. Enjoyed the Saul finale a lot. Thankful we got 14 years of this wonderful universe and brilliant creative, writing, and directing team. It was a wonderful journey. The little thanking thing with the actors at the end was nice too. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The little thanking thing with the actors at the end was nice too. I watched the ep again. While I wasn’t a fan of how the creators got to the finale, I have to say the episode, itself, was pretty excellent. The Spoiler Cigarette scene hit just right. Unlike the 3 eps before it, this one felt even better once I was able to process it all (felt very good about it this morning). It may not have been the ending I, originally, wanted. However, it was still a masterful and emotional conclusion. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
