I can't say I wouldn't recommend seeing it once though. It took me a few viewings to appreciate Us. I wonder if Nope will be similar, in that sense (haven’t seen it). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When it comes to horror films, I often find I enjoy the films more before a big reveal and once the big reveal happens, it loses something. I think that may apply to this film.

It looked really good. you might like it, I just don’t think the pay off was satisfying enough given all the build up. btw, I watched the first episode of for all mankind. That shit was impressive can’t wait to watch more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Watching Westworld s4 now that all the eps are out I could see that. The first half of season 5 isn’t as thrilling as the amazing second part. I’m almost done with 5.

-GD-X★ 7,729 Posted August 28, 2022 Author Share Posted August 28, 2022 Oh, to those who watched, what was the general consensus for season 4 westworld? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 7,729 Posted August 28, 2022 Author Share Posted August 28, 2022 I finished my Breaking Bad marathon. I think this viewing felt extra special because of what BCS added to its universe. Regarding the final seasons for each respective show, BCS had the stronger first half, but BB murders it in the second. Now…I finally feel like I can take a break from Vince’s world….until I rewatch all of BCS in a year lol. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Im almost done with the first season. The main thing I dislike about the show is just how much it feels like it’s pushing a political agenda with some of these storylines. It’s so on the nose sometimes that it’s honestly cringe worthy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That’s a fair criticism. It didn’t bother me, though, since it’s an alternate reality. A lot of the issues presented were pretty big back then, so it makes sense to explore them. I love how different presidents were elected, or certain scandals were replaced with other ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So of course the appropriate course of action is for Ellen to come out as lesbian and get into an argument with Deke about LGBT rights and how the world is changing towards their acceptance stuff like that is so out of place and and feels forced given the mood and whats at stake.

They really go deep into the family dramas in this one, it felt like a soap opera way more often than I’d like. However the ending was quite good and left me impressed Spoiler I figured one of them would die, but I was surprised when Tracy and Gordo both bit the bullet. They were 2 of my favorite characters and their story felt more genuine than many of the others, so it was sad to see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Impossible 407 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 It's an older film but just released on Hulu. I watched it this weekend and loved it. It's also completely up on Youtube as well. Anyone who liked Kung Fu Hustle should like this. It's got bad chinese FX in a lot of places but the story is alot of fun. Very family friendly as well.

While season 3 owns (for the most part), Spoiler Danny’s soap arc Is so bad, that is brought down my overall score for 3. Still, the great stuff outweighs the negative shit.

jehurey 3,227 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I had an AMC+ free weekend on my Sling TV, but I only really used it to see what AMC shows are out there. Finally watched the short IFC series, Garfunkel and Oates. And then I started watching the first season of Kevin Can F*ck Himself on AMC. Took me until the second episode for me to finally get what the show is aiming for. Its pretty interesting. Even though its not a sci-fi, it almost operates like its a sci-fi premise. But the change in tone and cinematography is meant to represent when the show switches in and out of the main character's view of the world. I never saw Schitt's Creek, so this is my first time watching Annie Murphy, and she's definitely pretty cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But then it becomes something special. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
