James Skywalker 528 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I watched The King of Staten Island and You Should Have Left. I like this music video Caught in the Middle by Paramore: Everyone is caught in the middle of mayhem. There is no “this side” or “that side”; it’s all mixed together in the middle.

jehurey 3,222 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Finally finished watching the hot, gritty, Canadian cop show that Canadians often refer to as "their The Wire" 19-2 !!! And uhh.........I like the cast, and to tell you the truth, the show is actually quite endearing as a small-scope, daily life on the streets cop show. In fact, if it were just that, I'd love for this show to keep on going well past four seasons. I really do like alot of the characters. The problem with this show is that they try to make it more complicated and that have multi-episode story arcs per each character, and then they attempt to make a season-long story-arc involving the main two characters. And the show gets sloppy here. The inner-season multi-episode story arcs don't work because a cop does something really bad, and you think "oh shit, they're in trouble now" but then the issue resolves itself about two episodes later or, even worse, they sorta just drop it and don't refer to it again until sometime down the road. Kind of reminds me of recent seasons of Shameless where Fiona accidentally leaves cocaine out in the open, and the baby ingests some of it and needs to go to the hospital, and OMG Fiona is in deep trouble and is gonna lose custody of the entire family AND..........two episodes later, she gets a plea bargain and everything goes back to normal. It reminds me of stuff like that. The other issue is the season-long story arc. Its always the same type of scenario. An OUTSIDE investigative agency is looking into our two main characters, and there's a local criminal organization who may be coming for them. Its really shaky in its pacing, it never really gets going until the second-half of the season. And then they always try to introduce some late twist in that story, and it never feels clever or well thought-out. I have to say I did enjoy the series finale, because they just made a "regular" episode with a crime of the week, all of the officers work together to stop something bad from happening, and then they all get together to celebrate like the good ol' times. Its a pleasant ending to the show, and highlights the best things that I thought the show did well. Also, fucking El Rey Network fucked me. Their didn't schedule the last three episodes of the series properly on the channel guide. So my DVR recorded what were supposed to be the final episodes, and it was something else. So I had to quickly hunt down where to find a streaming site for those episodes. This isn't on Netflix or Hulu, you have to pay to watch the episodes. I ended up finding all of them here, if anybody wants to see them. https://streamkiste.com/19-2-season-1-episode-1-stream-1474830.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Delita 698 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Damn Netflix is killing it with docuseries recently. I saw a documentary that showed his interrogations a while back and he is one sick fucker with no remorse. The guy would display with his hands to interrogators how he layed them down and grabbed the girls in the crotch with his hands when all they mentioned were some ankle pains but he would tell them it’s all normal procedure. With many girls saying he had an clear full blown hard on as he was doing it 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Twinblade★ 3,889 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I re-watched The Descent for the first time in years. Still holds up incredibly well, easily in my top 5 horror movies of all time. In fact, I needed some inspiration for my first game and it gave me just that Quote Link to post Share on other sites

-GD-X★ 7,728 Posted June 24, 2020 Author Share Posted June 24, 2020 that movie works so well on 2 different types of horror. excellent film! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,889 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 The lighting and directing work together to give it an extremely claustrophobic atmosphere that many other horror movies fail to pull off. Also, the movie has a TON of symbolism that most people (myself included the first time I watched it) were unable to pick up on. Seriously, look up some of the most popular plot theories people have come up with. You’ll be surprised at how elaborate they are for what on the surface appears to be a traditional monster movie.

jehurey 3,222 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Cool behind the scenes video about what is becoming the new replacement for green-screen technology. I remember hearing that the movie, First Man, did this sort of thing. But apparently the people at Westworld got assistance from Jon Favreau and his Mandalorian crew on doing LED walls for background shots. Technically, this is a modernization of an old trick, old movies used to do projection on the back wall. But now they're doing super high-res LED back walls and they film exterior shots before the actors get to film their part, so the actor is looking at that image. They get reflections and everything.

It’s better than season 1 but I still feel a bit let down because I have higher hopes for this show considering it’s legacy. I’ve watched 5 eps so far and Among the introden has been my fav Quote Link to post Share on other sites
