Holy poo poo Making a Murderer is one of the most intense emotional roller coaster whodunits I've binged on since listening to Serial after the first season was done. It just keeps flipping over on itself and I love this poor white trash family of extras from The Hills Have Eyes so much. It's also super educational about what to do if you ever get interviewed by the police. Grizzled Patriarch posted:I was scrolling through Netflix the other day and saw that there is apparently a Stir of Echoes 2, about a guy who comes back from Iraq and sees a ghost. I almost want to watch it because it feels like there might be some interesting stuff under the hood but holy moly it looks bad.

I sat through season 2 of Helix and wouldn't recommend it to anyone, even those who enjoyed the fever dream first season

I have one episode left, and god yes, coyo7e posted:I posted about this a while back in this or the PYF thread, it's legit good. I watched SoE 1 and 2 back to back after the first 15 or so minutes of 2 shocked me and I couldn't remember much of 1. Definitely, I was pleasantly surprised by a 1.5 star movie, and I own the DVD of SoE1, so I wasn't really expecting much from it.

One of the reasons I liked MaM so much was it managed to be sympathetic without being exploitive of the Averys. And if people see this and don't think these kinds of issues - coerced confessions, etc - aren't commonplace in the legal system, they're delusional. Averys guilt or lack thereof is secondary to the doc's exposure of lovely police practices. I'm sure he killed her, but doubt his nephew has anything to do with it. Incidentally, a new lawyer has taken over his case (as of 1/2016), Kathleen Zeller, who has made a life's career out of overturning and exonerating wrongful convictions.

That's exactly how I feel about it. I haven't settled on if he killed her or not, but how the police handled it, is so horrid it should have been thrown out from the get go. As for the nephew, I'm legit pissed, that even after the thee charges in Stephen's case that were linked with him got thrown out, they continued with the trial anyway

If you're unable to understand what's happening around you, or to have a third party guardian to oversee you, then the lawyer can do whatever he wants - which will usually result in a plea because it saves him a ton of work and the possibility of losing.

Don't forget that he didn't even try to believe in his client, repeatedly lied to him, and basically used him to create a case for the prosecution in a separate trial.

That was infuriating. I loving hated those public defenders, the entirety of the case was completely stacked in favor of making sure that Stephen hanged for it at the expense of his nephew's life.

They're not even public defenders! Although they were recommended by a public defender who was related to the victim.

Its not even important really for a public defender to believe their client is innocent, a professional needs to be able to separate all that stuff out and "act as if" the client were innocent. If you can't do that you have no business taking the job.

my problem with him was that it was very obvious that the lawyer was totally in it for his own political career, and he wasn't gonna even consider taking it to trial and losing when he could score an easy plea and come out smelling like a rose as "the guy that locked up that awful rapist murderer kid" despite nominally being the defender. And I'm still confused by what he was trying to do with that investigator jesus h christ

The worst thing about Brendan's case is that, even if he did it, I seriously doubt that jail is helping him out. Mental institution at least, come on.

The final twist is pretty obvious, but it's the mid-movie twist that really caught me off-guard and makes me recommend the film. Good movie. Super hosed-up.

I'm watching Goodnight Mommy right now and I'm just letting the experience wash over me, it's a E: I don't mean for that to come off all smuggo, it's actually really hard to tune out the constant buzz of plot speculation in the back of my mind.

Rock Star is such a hilariously bad period piece. I can't even tell if it's supposed to be in the 70's or 80's and it still manages to look like the most 90's thing ever.

edit: ^^^^ Yeah it's great and the dialogue is sincerely awesome. I watched CBGB so you don't have to. It's almost watchable for Alan Rickman until the bands show up and it ends up being like the white punk version of Straight Outta Compton. That means it's bad.

The creator of Bojack mentioned in an interview that he pitched an episode idea for Fuller House, and Netflix said it was waaay too dark. I think it involved DJ having a mental breakdown and facing the depression over the realization her dead husband is never coming back, and the cyclical nature of her life of loved ones dying around her. Sounds hilarious to me.
